## Resource

Why does America keep producing the people bold enough to change the course of history? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes historian and author, Arthur Herman, for a deep look into the founder mindset that made America rich, powerful, and impossible to imitate. Why does the United States celebrate ambition while so many nations punish it? What is it about American culture that turns outsiders, rebels, and risk-takers into industry-changing builders? The two discuss how calculated gambles have repeatedly altered history, why success stories matter more than critics admit, and whether the spirit that built the country is now under attack. Be sure to grab a copy of Arthur’s new book, Founder’s Fire: From 1776 to the Age of Trump, out now!
