Remastered Series Episode 31: Americas superpower

By Isaiah O’Connor

On this Fourth of July, I take you back to early 2020 when the COVID crisis was ramping up. While the situation was uncertain, what stood out to me was how quickly American factories retooled, entrepreneurs pivoted, and small businesses stepped up to fill urgent needs.

This episode reminds us that America’s true superpower is not just military might. It is the manufacturing base, inventors, and entrepreneurs who keep things moving no matter the challenge. Looking back five years later, it is clear how crucial that mindset was in getting through the crisis.
