In this episode of Occupiers Only, host Noah Young is joined by Dr. Thomas Smith, one of the most dynamic voices in economics and a faculty member at Emory’s Goizueta Business School. Known for his engaging style and wide-ranging expertise—from labor economics to sports, film finance, and healthcare—Dr. Smith brings a fresh perspective to how macroeconomic trends are influencing our everyday lives, industries, and workplaces.

Alongside co-host Andy Roberts of Cresa, we dive into what today’s economic data really means for businesses, how leaders should think about inflation, trade, and the labor market, and why Tom believes true leadership starts with curiosity and human connection. Whether you’re in real estate, healthcare, or just trying to make sense of the news, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and energy that only Dr. Smith can deliver.
