📈 Why do the big keep getting bigger, and where does that leave smaller companies?

As companies scale, some expenses grow with them. Others, like technology and compliance, don't necessarily increase at the same rate. That can give larger organizations a significant advantage and help drive industry consolidation.

But bigger doesn't mean unbeatable. 💡

In this clip from WFG's Industry Perspective Q2 2026, economist Dr. Bill Conerly explains why smaller, nimble companies can still compete by finding the niches, markets, and opportunities larger organizations may overlook.

It's a fascinating look at scale, competition, and why there may always be room for the "little guys" to win. 📊

What will separate the winners from everyone else?
According to WFG Chairman and Founder Patrick F. Stone, the answer is simple: efficiency.

The organizations that remove time, effort, and unnecessary costs from the transaction while delivering a better customer experience will be the ones that thrive.

Economist Dr. Bill Conerly builds on that idea by highlighting another opportunity: with many small business owners approaching retirement, the next generation of leaders may find more opportunities to step into ownership than ever before.

It's an insightful conversation about efficiency, leadership, customer experience, and the future of the real estate industry.

🌍 How could rising oil prices impact the housing market?

🏡 Housing doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Energy costs, inflation, global events, and consumer confidence all influence the real estate market, and the effects are often felt first by those already facing the greatest financial pressure.

In this clip, WFG Chairman and Founder Patrick F. Stone explains why an oil shock could do more than slow housing activity. It could widen the gap between those moving ahead and those struggling to keep up.

It's an insightful look at how global events can create ripple effects throughout housing, affordability, and the broader economy.

What does the Strait of Hormuz have to do with your next closing? More than you'd think.

In the new WFG Industry Perspective, host Ken Perry sits down with WFG Founder & Chairman Patrick Stone and economist Dr. Bill Conerly to talk through what's really shaping the second half of 2026.

They get into the affordability squeeze (home prices rose just 0.7% year over year, so the real story is mortgage rates), what the Fed can and can't do under its new chair, office buildings trading 80% below their last sale price, how AI is transforming title insurance, and one genuinely jaw-dropping segment on prediction markets.
