Tom Huguenard: Podcast Interview with Amish Munshi

Main Street Minds: Success Beyond Limits with Amish Munshi

In this episode of The Mainstreet Minds Podcast with Amish Munshi, we sit down with seasoned software developer and entrepreneur Tom Huguenard. With over four decades of experience in tech, Tom shares a candid and powerful conversation about career pivots, professional lessons, and the leap into entrepreneurship.

Listeners will learn about Tom’s time working with Sentinel Offender Services—an innovative tech company that integrates software with public safety—and how that experience, both rewarding and challenging, influenced his next big move.

Tom opens up about the missteps many professionals make when accepting jobs, the importance of understanding job descriptions thoroughly, and the crucial role of asking the right questions during interviews. He also shares his decision to leave traditional employment and launch his own startup—Freedom Forge, a company focused on helping individuals and small businesses better understand and manage their personal finances without relying on traditional budgeting.

You'll hear how he and his wife are building the product and marketing plan together, his vision for cash flow-based personal finance software, and why this product is designed specifically for the rest of us—those who don't stick to budgets but still want financial clarity.
