With inflation lingering and still impacting our purchasing power, it’s time to ask ourselves: Is it time to invest in gold and precious metals? This begs the question, how much should you have in your portfolio?

In today’s episode, we discuss why yields are going up despite interest rates going down, why weaponizing the US dollar will dramatically change how we live, and how to make alternative assets a sustainable, healthy part of your portfolio.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: 

  • Why people aren’t buying houses even though interest rates have gone down. 
  • Why gold is more of a store of value than a hedge against inflation.
  • Reasons the US dollar is likely to lose its status as a reserve currency. 
  • How (and how not) to purchase and store precious metals.
  • What role alternative assets can and should play in your portfolio.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
