As Trust In Governments & Institutions Collapses, We Rebuild It In Our Families | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance Jun 17, 2026

Summary

Miles Franklin's CEO argues institutional trust has collapsed, and durable relationships replace systems as the foundation for business and family.

His core discipline: buy something every two weeks from age 19, so compounding of time works for you instead of against you.

He treats mistakes as recoverable only if you own them quickly; deflecting accountability is what actually compounds the damage.

Bullion premiums have compressed sharply: pre-1933 $20 Liberty coins at $150 over melt, a level he has never seen in 36 years.

One-ounce silver rounds at $1.49 over spot are the cleanest entry for investors who want silver exposure without junk-silver spreads.
