Is it really smart to manufacture in the USA? (Samuel Fish)

Thinking about bringing your manufacturing back to the U.S.? Wondering if it's worth the cost, risk, and effort?

In this episode, I sit down with Samuel Fish, founder of Shield Security Doors and Shield Metal Works, who shares why he made the strategic decision to move his manufacturing from overseas back to the United States, and how it changed everything.

We explore:

✅ Why manufacturing where you sell can improve operations

✅ The hidden impact of tariffs, currency fluctuations, and supply chain risk

✅ How timing and the messenger can shape million-dollar decisions

✅ The pride and power of Made in America

✅ What most entrepreneurs get wrong about global production

Whether you’re a founder, operator, or investor thinking about reshoring, supply chain optimization, or long-term brand positioning, this conversation will give you grounded insights from someone who’s been through the fire.
