Faith Driven Investor
The March 2026 Marks on the Markets episode arrives at a defining moment: a major U.S.-Israel military operation in Iran, a cracking AI investment thesis, and a small-cap rotation that may finally be underway. Richard Cunningham brings together John Coleman, Matt Monson of Sovereign's Capital, and Brian McClard of Blue Trust for an unfiltered look at what faith-driven investors need to know right now.

Host Richard Cunningham is joined by co-host John Coleman and market experts Matt Monson (Public Equities, Sovereign's Capital) and Brian McClard (CIO, Blue Trust) for the March 2026 edition of Marks on the Markets. With Operation Epic reshaping global energy dynamics, AI rewriting the rules of markets and labor, and private equity at a critical inflection point, this panel of seasoned investors offers grounded, faith-driven perspective on navigating one of the most complex macro environments in recent memory.
