Today on The Hale Report, I’m joined by Joel Ross—investment banker, veteran dealmaker, and the unfiltered voice behind The Ross Rant. For decades, Joel has called out trends in finance, real estate, politics, and policy- long before they hit the headlines. From pioneering hotel securitizations on Wall Street to writing some of the most candid—and controversial—market commentary out there, Joel has never shied away from saying what others won’t.

We’ll talk about the intersection of economics and politics, why markets can’t be separated from Washington, and what risks Joel sees just over the horizon. Be prepared for a conversation that’s equal parts markets, money, and straight talk.
