Dr. Kruti Lehenbauer joins the podcast to discuss her book *Invisible Hand, Visible Profit* 📖, a 150-page guide that makes economics accessible to everyone no equations required! Drawing on 30 years of experience and a lifetime of dinner-table economics debates with her family in India, Dr. Lehenbauer strips away the intimidating jargon and replaces it with relatable analogies like toy cars 🚗 and Lego bricks 🧱 to show how economic principles drive real business decisions. Her standout 10th chapter offers a policy classification framework that lets any business owner quickly assess whether a new law or tariff actually affects them. This is a tool she built to replace panic with clarity. 💡 Whether you're a CEO navigating volatile markets or someone who once fled the room at the word "economics," this book meets you where you are and challenges you to query everything, not just comply. 🎙️
