Brett Rentmeester, Founder of WindRock Wealth Management, joins Maggie Lake to explain why both AI and gold are soaring: two assets that almost never rise together.

Brett compares today’s investing landscape to racing on a slick, winding road, where investors must press both the gas and the brake to stay in control. He shares how to navigate this volatile moment with balance, patience, and discipline across precious metals, crypto, equities, and bonds.
