Everyone’s Bracing for a Crash. The Economy Says Otherwise.

Investors have spent years waiting for the U.S. economy to crack. Chris Galipeau of Franklin Templeton says they may be making a costly mistake.

In this conversation with Wealthion’s Maggie Lake, Galipeau explains why the recession narrative has repeatedly failed, why the American consumer and corporate earnings remain more resilient than many investors realize, and why fears surrounding AI, jobs, geopolitics, and the broader economy may be obscuring what actually matters for markets.

Galipeau also breaks down why today’s AI boom looks different from the dot-com bubble, where he sees real investment opportunities emerging, and why investors focused relentlessly on the next crisis risk missing the strength already hiding in plain sight.

In this interview:

• Why recession calls have repeatedly missed the mark

• What consumer strength is telling us about the U.S. economy

• Why AI may not destroy jobs the way many fear

• AI boom vs. the dot-com bubble

• Why corporate earnings matter more than the doom narrative

• Where investors may be overlooking opportunity

• What could change Galipeau’s bullish outlook
