The Race to Connect America

from Don Sowa's MoneyTalk Hosted by Cumulus Providence

No innovation contributed more to westward expansion and American progress than the transcontinental railroad, but the road to that progress was paved in corruption and brutality. On this edition of our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History, Nathan and Daniel tell the story of the first transcontinental railroad, and the greed, ambition and bloodshed that made it all possible. Also, on MoneyTalk, how different commodities move in relation to the markets, and how to properly use them for diversification. Host: Nathan Beauvais, CFP®, CIMA®, CPWA®; Special Guest: Daniel Sowa; Air Date: 4/29/2026; Original Air Dates: 6/4/2024 & 5/21/2025. Have a question for the hosts?
