  • Is America’s Survival on the Line?
    Dec 5 2024

    In this episode of Main Street to Wall Street, we confront a question that’s impossible to ignore: Is America’s survival truly at risk? From the optimism bubbling on Main Street to the geopolitical forces reshaping Wall Street, we unravel the unseen fragility that threatens the foundation of our economy.

    We’ll explore the rise in small business confidence post-election, the looming impact of tariffs, and the quiet but profound dangers to the U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency. With China playing the long game and America lagging behind in vision and strategy, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

    But this isn’t just about economics—it’s about survival. What happens when Main Street collapses under the weight of outdated policies and unaddressed vulnerabilities? How do we restore resilience to the very backbone of America’s economy?

    Join us as we dive deep into the systemic connections between small businesses, global trade, and America’s future. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a call to action. Because if we don’t act now, the cost will be more than economic—it will be the erosion of our strength, security, and global leadership.

    This is about progress. This is about resilience. And this is about the fight for America’s future.

  • Main Street to Wall Street: Building the Systems We Need
    Dec 5 2024

    What if I told you the systems we rely on—economics, trade, manufacturing, even the way money flows—are failing us? Not because failure is inevitable, but because they were built for a world that no longer exists. Fragility isn’t just a weakness—it’s an invitation to innovate, rebuild, and create systems that are not just stronger but transformative.

    In this episode of Main Street to Wall Street, I’m taking you on a journey to the heart of the systems that shape our lives. I’ll uncover the cycles that govern power, the cracks that threaten our progress, and the bold idea that Main Street and Wall Street aren’t enemies—they’re interdependent forces that can fuel one another.

    You’ll learn why resilience is the foundation for the future, how I’m turning bold ideas into actionable systems through The Sycamore Fund at Hampton Capital, and why it’s time to stop playing small and start building systems that reflect the best of who we are and what we can become.

    This episode is raw, visionary, and unapologetic. It’s a call to action for dreamers, builders, and believers to join me in rewriting the rules. The systems we need don’t exist yet—but they will.

    Tune in, and let’s build them together.
