Most investors still treat gold like a lottery ticket and cash like a safety blanket. They watch gold make new highs and assume it's finally "working." They sit on piles of cash and feel conservative and responsible. Both instincts are dangerously backwards.

In this episode, Andy Tanner, Corey Halliday, and Noah Davidson reframe gold's real job in your life. Gold is not a growth engine. It's insurance. Its rising price is less a reason to celebrate and more a signal about what's happening to your currency, your grocery bill, and your future purchasing power.

You'll hear why "cash is a loser" in an inflationary system that must keep printing, why gold bugs get one thing right and one thing very wrong, and why owning productive assets often beats hoarding metal — even when gold is surging.

They also break down the practical side: physical gold vs ETFs, miners vs metal, and how options on gold-related assets can create cash flow while you quietly accumulate your hedge instead of chasing headlines.

This is not about gold predictions. It's about understanding what gold, cash, and real assets are each designed to do — so you can position yourself like an owner, not a spectator.

Andy sits down with demographer Kenneth Gronbach to explore how demographic trends quietly shape economies, markets, and long-term investment opportunities. From the aging baby boomer population to shrinking workforces in countries like Japan and China, this conversation breaks down why understanding population data is one of the most overlooked tools investors can use to anticipate the future. Gronbach explains how "critical mass" and age strata influence everything from housing demand to healthcare growth, and why demographics should be a core pillar of any serious investing strategy.
