In this At The Mic Wild Card Wednesday, Keith Malinak is joined by Stu Burguiere for a conversation that starts with a simple question and quickly turns into something much bigger, as they explore what happens when the system people rely on begins to acrack, and a different signal starts to emerge, one that doesn’t come from headlines, talking points, or spin, but from where people are putting their money, revealing a growing shift in how outcomes in politics, media, and culture are being understood, and forcing a deeper question, when trust disappears, where do people actually turn for the truth.
