💸 Fund your Business in 5 minutes - cardiff.co/stern

What happens when a country loses its discipline, its faith, and its will to build?

In this episode of A Stern Talk, William Stern sits down with Henry Manoucheri, founder, chairman, and CEO of Universe Holdings, to discuss Iran, Israel, faith, real estate, inflation, social media, and the American dream.

Henry shares how his family left Iran just before the revolution, why he believes regime change is far harder than most people understand, and what the West still gets wrong about the Iranian government. The conversation moves from war and religion to assimilation, antisemitism, the future of Israel, and why the U.S.-Israel relationship may face serious pressure if America keeps drifting politically.

Then the episode shifts into business. Henry breaks down why he still believes in California real estate, why inflation may stay higher for longer, why young people feel locked out of homeownership, and how discipline, family, faith, and long-term thinking shaped his success.

This is a conversation about survival. National survival. Family survival. Business survival. And the values that either build a future or destroy one.

Watch until the end for Henry’s five-year predictions on mortgage rates, inflation, apartment rents, California real estate, and the U.S. economy.
