Liberty and Finance, Released on 6/16/26
In a time when confidence in governments and major institutions continues to erode, many are turning their attention back to what remains stable and within their control. This conversation explores how trust is rebuilt not through systems, but through people, families, and long-term relationships. Andy Schectman reflects on decades of experience building a family-run business grounded in integrity, consistency, and personal accountability. The discussion highlights how small, disciplined actions and strong relationships can create resilience even amid financial and social uncertainty. Ultimately, the message centers on strengthening the foundations closest to us when larger structures feel increasingly uncertain.
