Retired Swiss banker Clive Thompson spent 47 years managing fortunes, and his biggest lesson is simple: things didn't get more expensive; the money got worse. Clive explains why gold is the one form of insurance nobody can take from you, and why he believes this gold bull market will last "as far out as the eye can see." _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Clive Thompson Website Twitter YouTube

What if the price of SILVER on your screen isn't telling the whole story? Nomi Prins warns silver is "severely undervalued" and still sees a path toward $120. But she says the paper silver market may be telling a very different story from the physical market. Traders can sell silver without owning the physical metal. Nomi explains how this can create a disconnect between the price on the screen and the physical silver the world actually needs, especially as industrial demand rises, new mine supply remains limited, and silver has stayed in deficit. The bigger question: what happens if those traders eventually have to buy the silver back? We also discuss why Nomi still sees a path toward $6,000 GOLD, the "obscenely large" U.S. debt problem, inflation, the Federal Reserve, central-bank gold buying, and why scarce resources like gold, silver, copper and uranium cannot simply be created when demand rises. Nomi also explains how people can begin building better financial habits with as little as $5 or $10, how to teach children what money is worth, and why understanding how the financial system works may be more important than ever. _ _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Nomi Prins Website Twitter YouTube

What happens when debt keeps rising, inflation erodes purchasing power, and confidence in the financial system starts to weaken? Mario Innecco warns we could be approaching a major turning point. He explains why $20,000 gold would not be unrealistic, what most people misunderstand about inflation, and why the bond market could become increasingly important as governments face growing debt. He also breaks down money creation, currency debasement, purchasing power, government debt, bonds, gold and silver, and explains why he believes the next major shift in the financial system could change how investors think about money and wealth. But there is a bigger question. Are we simply entering another financial cycle, or are we watching the early stages of a much larger change in the monetary system? In this interview, Mario Innecco explains: • Why he believes $20,000 gold is not unrealistic • What inflation actually means and why the definition matters • How money creation affects purchasing power • Why government debt puts pressure on the financial system • Why the bond market matters to the entire economy • What happens when confidence in fiat currencies weakens • Why gold and silver could become increasingly important • What investors should understand about the next phase of the monetary system _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Mario Innecco Website Twitter

Martin Armstrong warns the U.S. dollar may be nowhere near collapse yet. The bigger question is how long the dollar can remain dominant while de-dollarization builds underneath the surface. Armstrong believes the real monetary shift may not arrive until after 2032. In this conversation, we break down de-dollarization, China, gold, U.S. debt, inflation, global capital flows, and the economic cycles Armstrong believes could shape the next phase of the monetary system. When does de-dollarization actually accelerate? What happens to gold when it does? And how long can the dollar remain the world's dominant currency? Armstrong explains his framework for what he believes could happen next. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Martin Armstrong Website Twitter YouTube

Peter Grandich warns the $50 trillion U.S. debt problem is reaching a point where the math is getting harder to ignore, with rising interest costs putting increasing pressure on the bond market, retirement and the broader financial system. Grandich explains why he thinks investors may need to rethink what they consider "safe," why he has returned to gold and silver, and what he sees happening across mining and copper as the debt problem continues to grow. The bigger question: how long can the system keep carrying the debt if the cost of doing so keeps rising? _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Peter Grandich Website Twitter YouTube

If it reverses, the shock may not stay in Japan. It could hit the yen, U.S. Treasuries and markets around the world. Morgan explains why he believes the bond market is where the real danger could emerge, and why the Federal Reserve may have fewer options than investors expect. Morgan also breaks down the warning signs he sees in debt, inflation and energy, and what they could mean for gold, silver and mining stocks. But the bigger question is what happens when debt keeps growing, markets start demanding higher rates, and policymakers have less room to act. If the carry trade turns, Morgan believes investors need to understand what comes next. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: David Morgan Website Twitter YouTube

Don Durrett is making one of his strongest warnings yet about the next financial crisis. He explains why he believes the bond market is the key, how the U.S. debt bubble could move toward a financial reset, and why he thinks the next recession could be worse than 2008. Don has also raised his long-term gold target to $15,000 and sees $200–$500 silver as possible. He explains why he believes precious-metals mining stocks could offer extraordinary asymmetric upside, why he sees opportunities for 5–20X returns, and how investors and families can prepare for what he believes is coming. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ WHERE TO FIND BEN MUMME 👇 Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ WHERE TO FIND DON DURRETT 👇 Website YouTube Twitter

Your brain doesn't think. Your mind does. At least, that's what Dr. Caroline Leaf has spent 40 years researching. And if she's right, we've been approaching personal change from the wrong direction. Dr. Caroline Leaf believes your mind controls your brain, not the other way around. That distinction could change how you think about your thoughts, your habits, your trauma, and your ability to change. Why do we keep repeating patterns we desperately want to break? Why does willpower fail? Why can't we simply "pull out" a negative thought?  Dr. Leaf believes meaningful rewiring takes at least 63 days. She explains why trauma can become deeply rooted, why simply "thinking positive" may not be enough, and how her five-step NeuroCycle can help identify and reconstruct the patterns keeping you stuck. We go deep on self-sabotage, identity, negative thoughts, subconscious patterns, reacting vs. responding, and the three levels of the mind. But the biggest takeaway may be the simplest: you are not your thoughts. You are not your past. And you are not broken. If you've ever felt trapped by your own thoughts, stuck repeating the same mistakes, or powerless to change a pattern you've carried for years, this conversation could fundamentally change the way you see yourself and what you believe is possible. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ WHERE TO FIND BEN MUMME 👇 Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ WHERE TO FIND DR.

Michael Oliver called Silver's violent move before it happened. After surging to $121, silver collapsed almost entirely in a day and a half of trading. But the selloff didn't break his long-term bullish thesis. He says the real move has not begun. Oliver explains why his momentum signals turned bullish again weeks ago and why the miners could be the biggest tell. The XAU miners-to-gold ratio, which he calls a "time bomb indicator," spent 13 years trapped between 4% and 8.5% before breaking out at 9.2%. Before 2008, it traded near 25%. Oliver believes the miners could potentially double against gold just to return to their old floor. He also explains why silver is "going to beat the pants off gold," why he has stopped giving price targets, and why the government bond market could be the crisis that changes everything. After roughly 50 years in the markets, Oliver says he has never been this convinced. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ WHERE TO FIND BEN MUMME 👇 Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ WHERE TO FIND MICHAEL OLIVER 👇 Website Twitter Amazon

Rick Rule warns that the U.S. and Canadian dollars could lose 75% of their buying power over the next 10 years. That means $1,000 today could need to become roughly $4,000 by 2036 to buy the same things. Rule says the biggest danger is not losing money. It is keeping your money while it quietly buys less and less. After more than 40 years in the markets, Rule explains why he believes real inflation could be closer to 8% than the official 3%, why he has kept most of his savings in gold since 2000, and why cash can become extremely valuable when markets crash. Rick Rule also breaks down the growing debt problem, more than $100 trillion in unfunded U.S. obligations- why 65% of people live paycheck to paycheck, and why spending less than you earn and knowing what you own could matter more than chasing big returns. If Rule is right, the next 10 years could change how people think about saving, investing, and protecting their wealth. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ WHERE TO FIND BEN MUMME 👇 Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ WHERE TO FIND RICK RULE 👇 Website Twitter

Michael Gentile of Bastion Asset Management explains why people earning $150,000 to $250,000 a year can still end up with unpaid credit cards and debt collectors calling, and why he believes the problem is rarely how much they earn. Gentile breaks down what $20,000 of credit card debt at 20% interest actually costs, why paying it off can take years rather than months, why he challenges the conventional wisdom around real estate, and the simple rule he uses with his 13-year-old daughter to make saving automatic. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ WHERE TO FIND BEN MUMME 👇 Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ WHERE TO FIND MICHAEL GENTILE 👇 Website LinkedIn The Apostles Fund

Bob Thompson believes the biggest investment opportunities often appear when investors have abandoned an entire sector, and he says a major market rotation could create opportunities in areas most people aren't watching. Bob explains how he made money in uranium and precious metals when sentiment was deeply negative, why capitulation can create extraordinary opportunities, and what he looks for when searching for the next "hollowed out" sector. He also warns about extreme concentration in U.S. stocks and explains why gold, energy and other overlooked areas could benefit when market leadership changes. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Bob Thompson Twitter Website LinkedIn

Alasdair Macleod believes decades of easy credit have created the biggest debt bubble in history, and as governments sink deeper into debt and bond yields continue rising, he thinks that bubble is beginning to crack. As confidence in fiat currencies weakens, Macleod argues that physical gold could once again prove why it has served as money for thousands of years. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Alasdair Macleod LinkedIn  Twitter Substack

Lobo Tiggre remains firmly bullish on gold over the long term, but he warns that most investors will still get this bull market wrong by confusing the inevitable with the imminent. While patiently holding cash and waiting for better entry points, Lobo explains why patience may be the biggest edge in today's market, breaks down the Federal Reserve, inflation, the U.S. dollar, silver, gold stocks, and why disciplined speculation consistently outperforms emotion. _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Lobo Tiggre LinkedIn Twitter Website

Willem Middelkoop believes the financial endgame has already begun, as record sovereign debt, relentless central bank gold buying, and rising geopolitical tensions all point toward the breakdown of the dollar-based monetary system. Willem argues these aren't isolated events, but the early stages of a historic monetary reset that could reshape the global economy for decades to come. Willem explains why every reserve currency eventually loses its dominance, why gold is quietly returning to the center of the financial system, what a declining U.S. dollar could mean for investors, and how the next financial order may emerge. He also discusses the future of central banks, the shifting balance of global power, the risks facing financial markets, and much more. _ _ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter. _ Host: Ben Mumme Twitter Medium YouTube Instagram Website LinkedIn _ Guest: Willem Middlekoop Twitter Substack Commodity Discovery Fund Download the book "The Big Reset" here.
