2026 on Gary's Gulch podcast will be dedicated to celebrating our 250th anniversary of the Great American Experiment - If you give citizens ownership over their life, liberty and property and design a government made up of the people and working for the people, they will prosper. Business ownership is fundamental to this premise. Nearly everyone in 1776 was a business owner, there was a need in the community and someone started a business to serve that need. We've gotten away from this with the industrial revolution and globalization (someone in China fills your need via Amazon). We must get back to honoring the value of businesses. Listen in to learn what's coming in '26!
