In this episode of Business and Wealth Strategy – Where Smart Entrepreneurs Build Lasting Wealth,

Karen Newton, Business and Wealth Strategist, unpacks one of the most talked-about economic risks facing the UK — the Doom Loop.

You’ll learn what it really means, how we got here, and—most importantly—how you can protect and position yourself to benefit from the next phase in the investment cycle.

In This Episode

• What economists mean by a “Doom Loop” and why the term is resurfacing in 2025.
• How two decades of policy decisions—from the 2008 credit crisis to pandemic debt and inflation—created today’s fragile economy.
• The warning signs that signal contraction and how to recognise them before headlines hit.
• What business owners can do now: focus on cash flow, lean operations, and automation.
• How investors can shift toward defensive assets, monthly income shares, and precious metals.
• Why downturns are not disasters but part of the Investment Cycle Toolkit pattern—and where opportunity begins.

Key Takeaway

Economic loops don’t mean collapse; they signal change.

Those who understand the cycle are the ones who grow wealth during it.
