In the Room Where Economic Policy Is Shaped: A Glimpse Behind the Curtain

Few opportunities feel as meaningful as being face to face with the people shaping the global economy. Recently, I had the privilege of being in the same room and listening in person to Jerome Powell, Chairman of Federal Reserve Board, one of the most thoughtful and influential voices in global monetary policy.

The conversation was not just insightful. It was a direct window into the forces that drive economic decision making at the highest levels. These are the very forces that influence how founders, operators, and investors make critical decisions every single day.

Why This Access Matters

Thanks to an invitation from Morgan Stanley. I attended the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) event, surrounded by brilliant economic minds and thoughtful leadership.

What makes moments like this truly powerful is not just the speech itself. It is being in the room. It is the quiet conversations in the margins, the strategic insights exchanged between policymakers and market operators, and the real time interpretation of economic policy before it filters down through media headlines.

Workshop Strategy’s Edge: Real Access, Real Insight

As an advisor and founder of Workshop Strategy, attending events like this is more than a privilege. It is part of our strategic advantage.

I have spent years building, scaling, and forging relationships across economic, financial, healthcare, legal, and M&A circles. This allows me to meet with and hear directly from:

• Economic policymakers like the Chair of the Federal Reserve
• CEOs of major pharmaceutical companies
• Leaders of pharmacy benefit managers
• Legal experts involved in healthcare, large scale transactions and M&A activity

Through these personal connections, I access data points and insights that most companies simply cannot get. Then, I bring those insights back to the founders, private equity partners, and operators we work with, translating macroeconomic forces into actionable micro level strategies.

In short, I am in the room where critical decisions are being shaped. And by working with Workshop Strategy, so are you.

Turning Macro into Micro Strategy

Whether it is understanding how interest rate policy will ripple through capital markets or how regulatory shifts might affect healthcare valuations, this level of access allows us to:

• Anticipate market movements rather than react to them
• Guide clients through strategic inflection points with clarity
• Repurpose real time economic intelligence to help companies make better decisions, faster

Moments like this remind me how much big picture leadership and policy shape the world we live in and build every day.
