America Explained | What America’s Founders Got Right and Wrong

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Rich Bennett and cohost Greg Derwart take a deeper look at what America’s Founding Fathers got right and wrong. This episode explores the real stories, leadership decisions, and human flaws behind Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.From Franklin’s entrepreneurial mindset and inventions, to Washington’s quiet leadership and willingness to step down from power, to Jefferson’s role as philosopher, writer, and dealmaker, this conversation goes far beyond what most of us learned in school. Rich and Greg connect history to modern leadership, business, and civic responsibility, showing why these lessons still matter today.Sponsored by Eco-Cool HVAC, a veteran-owned Harford County business committed to comfort and community.Send us Fan MailEco-Cool HVACYOUR FRIEND IN THE SUMMERS & WINTERS!
