Episode Synopsis

In the final installment of this three-part series, Darryl Lyons, CEO & Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, takes a deeper look at the widely discussed predictions of a potential market downturn in 2030. Rather than leaning into fear, headlines, or doomsday forecasts, Darryl breaks down the four major forces that many believe could collide: government spending, inflation, demographic shifts, and a potential AI bubble. Darryl also discusses the “Chicken Little” voices that have been calling for market catastrophe for decades, spotlighting the dangers of linear thinking, pessimistic modeling, and predictions that ignore innovation, human behavior, and historical resilience. With a practical and level-headed approach, he discusses why long-term investors often benefit from focusing less on fear and more on building durable plans designed to navigate uncertainty. In this episode, Darryl covers: The four “cars in the intersection” that fuel 2030 crash predictions. Why pessimists are rarely held accountable for bad forecasts. How linear thinking skews market narratives. The potential risks behind government spending and demographics. Why AI could be transformative - even if parts of it become a bubble. Five practical steps for navigating uncertainty. If you missed Parts I and II, be sure to go back and listen so you can follow the full conversation from start to finish.
