What Every Investor Needs to Know About Tariffs & Market Volatility – Andy Tanner

In this episode of The Cashflow Academy, Andy Tanner is joined by Corey Halliday and Noah Davidson for a timely conversation on one of the most misunderstood topics affecting the markets today: tariffs and volatility. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started, this discussion breaks down how global trade dynamics — like tariffs on China and other nations — impact U.S. markets, inflation, interest rates, and ultimately… your portfolio.

But this isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode.

Andy and his guests explain why volatility is not the enemy, but an incredible opportunity for smart investors. You’ll learn how option sellers benefit when the VIX spikes, why pullbacks can be a gift, and how to think long-term in a short-term world. They also dive into risk management strategies, hedging tools like the VIX, and the importance of building investing habits that withstand uncertainty.

If you're ready to shift your mindset and make volatility your ally — this episode is for you.
