A wave of bankruptcies is sweeping across America — and the warning signs are too big to ignore.
In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, hosts Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos break down two major stories that reveal deep cracks in the U.S. economy:

🍦 Dairy Queen Files Chapter 11
One of America’s most iconic brands has now joined the bankruptcy list, sending shockwaves through the restaurant and retail industries. Analysts say it’s not an isolated case — it’s the latest victim in a growing trend of financial strain across companies large and small.

🏚️ Corporate Bankruptcies On Pace for a 15-Year High
ZeroHedge reports that U.S. corporate bankruptcies are accelerating at the fastest rate since the Great Recession — and experts warn more so-called “isolated incidents” are coming. From tightening credit to shrinking consumer demand, the pressure is mounting.
Dean and Chris explain why these failures are piling up, what it signals about the economy, and why more companies may follow as inflation, rising costs, and debt take their toll. They also discuss what this means for everyday Americans — and how to protect your wealth before the next major financial shock.
