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 What happens when Main Street collapses under the weight of outdated policies and unaddressed vulnerabilities?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.
