Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a Business

Robert Kiyosaki and Andy Schectman discuss the current state of the economy and potential risks that people should be aware of. They refer to three emergency podcasts covering different topics, including the safety of people's money in banks, the potential consequences of the US losing its petrol reserve status, and the risks associated with the failure of Deutsche Bank. It's important to note that the safety of people's money in banks is a growing concern, especially with the increasing number of bank failures and the possibility of a global recession. Additionally, the US losing its petrol reserve status could have significant implications for the country's economy, as it would mean a loss of power and influence in the global market. The risks associated with the failure of Deutsche Bank are not to be taken lightly, as it is one of the largest banks in Europe and its collapse could have a domino effect on the global financial system. To protect oneself from potential economic crises, Robert and Andy stress the importance of investing in precious metals, particularly silver. This is because silver has historically been a safe haven asset during times of economic uncertainty. They also discuss China's role in building infrastructure and industrializing countries in a mutually beneficial way. This is an important point to consider, as China's economic growth has had a significant impact on the global economy and its policies can have far-reaching consequences. ----- Please read carefully. This is not financial advice. You may be asking, “what does that mean?” Let me explain… Do not just do what I, my team or my guest says. That would be stupid and irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own decisions. YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are here. Neither I, or my team, or my guests, know your risk levels, prior education, emotional maturity or how much money you can afford to lose. We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for yourself. There are NEVER guarantees. Also understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in mind we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned on this show. While it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our recommendations. Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide education and there will always be more opportunities.

In this time of deception and betrayal; of rising unemployment, the key is to learn the number one skill in life: sales. “Selling is not about deception. It’s about telling the hardcore truth,” says Host Robert Kiyosaki. “Find the need and magnify it. Sell them what will work for them.” Kiyosaki’s guest, longtime friend and business colleague, Blair Singer, is one of the leading sales trainers. He advises such big organizations as Singapore Airlines, IBM, L’Oreal hair brands all over the world. Singer is highly skilled at putting tens of thousands of entrepreneurs through their paces. “We give them some tools and put them through some exercises. Some people make more money in ten mins than they have in ten months,” Singer says. The best-selling author of “Sales Dogs: You Don’t Have To Be An Attack Dog to Explode Your Income,” Singer breaks the salesman personality into five dog breeds: The Pitbull—the aggressive, never take no for an answer type; the Poodle—the charming schmoozer; the Chihuahua—the data freak. The types who talk in bits and bites a million miles an hour; and finally, the Big Dog— which is any one of the 5 breeds...just bigger. They like to brag and tell a big story. Singer will be one of the presenters at the Rich Entrepreneur. Poor Entrepreneur event this April 6, 7, 8 in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Just because you’re making money doesn’t mean you’re rich,” says Kiyosaki. “You have to convert your money into an asset that provides income for the rest of your life.” Sales equals income. “The toughest sale was me selling me to me!” says SInger. “Salesmanship begins when you hear the word, NO. You learn how to become a human being. You learn how to deal with what the world is throwing at you. Data and information is not sales. Sales is about finding out what people want and then helping them get it. Then, it’s about conversion, when the money transfers to you. The selling cycle is when it clears your bank.

Host Robert Kiyosaki and guest and tax expert Tom Wheelwright discuss how to avoid paying taxes, one of the topics that will be covered at the upcoming April, 6th, 7th and 8th event in Scottsdale, Arizona, the first Rich Dad only event in 13 years. Kiyosaki believes we are facing a three time crash. “The first crash is stocks and bonds, the second is real estate; the third is the dollar, because they’re going to keep printing money. This is not a time to pretend you’re Warren Buffet,” says Kiyosaki, who is concerned we’re going to slide into a depression. If your wealth is tied up in your home, there are some things you can do in preparation. You don’t get to deduct losses on a personal residence. You might want to consider rental properties where you get tax benefits, instead of personal property where you don’t. “If your house is still high in value, get a line of credit so when it does drop, the money is still available to them,” says Wheelwright. This could be the biggest bubble in world history. When you have deflation going and the economy slows, you are in trouble. You can’t adjust that fast. “Most people have never seen an audit. Especially if you’re under 40,” says Kiyosaki. “Now, you’re going to. You’ll have new tech that can catch you making mistakes or things that are rightfully in the law, that they might not like.” 90% of audits are under 400,000. Corporations can move anywhere they want. Apple has some headquarters in Ireland and Ireland pays a lower tax rate than the US. They can move where they perform. Individuals can’t do this as much. Entrepreneurs always have the biggest tax advantages. The middle class, especially the self employed, are getting hammered. The poor pay nothing in tax. What can a person do? “There’s an opportunity to work locally, with the states,” says Wheelwright. “There are states that don’t charge any tax and states that charge a lot. California charges 13.3 %, Arizona charges 2.5; Texas charges nothing. You have an opportunity to work with the states. You just have to know the law.

Watch part 2 of a very important discussion with Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin, and find out what Mexico joining BRICS means for the future of the new global reserve currency. Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals Investments, explained in a recent interview that the five leading emerging economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, collectively known as BRICS nations — are “coalescing against the dollar.” Schectman believes that since 2022, de-dollarization “seems to be spinning much, much faster.” Schectman expects a large portion of the world to abandon the U.S. dollar and he also predicts a “tsunami of inflation.” With rising inflation, Schectman suggests that the interest rate set by the U.S. Federal Reserve will continue to rise and a “collapse” in asset prices will soon follow.

The institutions that are deemed “too big to fail” will always be bailed out. In his book, “Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money,” Robert Kiyosaki wrote that “bailouts are the name of the game.” This week, the Fed bailed out two regional banks that collapsed. As depositors of those banks feared money in their accounts was gone, the Fed stepped in to replenish any of the money depositors would have lost - including accounts holding over $250,000. Janet Yellen, Treasury Secretary, told senators that this guarantee will not be extended to smaller regional banks in the future. Lawmakers are concerned these backstops could become a new norm for big banks, giving “too big to fail” banks an unfair advantage over community lenders.

Guest Andy Schectman is owner of Miles Franklin, a full service for precious metals. “If you’re going to buy gold and start accumulating, storage is an issue,” says Host Robert Kiyosaki. It’s why he’s been with Miles Franklin for years. As one of the hosts for the Rich Dad event this April 6,7 and 8th in Phoenix, Schectman has the financial advice you won’t get from schools, the stock market or wall street. Schectman’s father once advised him to buy something every two weeks. “I looked at gold and silver as wealth outside of the system,” he says. Three decades later he has 8 billion in sales. Schectman talks about his prediction and worry that Saudi Arabia would apply for BRICKS, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Saudi Arabia. “What gives the dollar its world reserve status is that every country on the planet has had to own dollars since 1974 to buy oil. That’s the deal we struck with the Saudi Kingdom and by extension OPEC.” But in Davos recently, Saudi Arabia said they’re open to accepting other currencies for oil. “60% of the worlds’ population will stop using the US dollar,” says Kiyosaki. “This is what gives us power. Those saving fake dollars are in trouble.” BRICKS is a system based on a pledging of commodities. “They will use blockchain to see what country has pledged to the system. This will put a knife into the heart of the US dollar and its synthetic demand. If OPEC decides to open oil production to other currencies, it’s a massive deal.” “The countries in the EU, the rest of the world, are coalescing against the West,” says Schectman. “These countries are using commodities like gold as a vehicle that will allow everyone equal say at the table. Turkey imported more gold than any country— 58.3 tons of gold from Switzerland.” It will be a commodity backed system to back a new reserve currency. Kiyosaki and Schectman discuss the FDIC, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the organization that backs all the deposits held by the banks in the US to which there are over 9 Trillion in deposits being backed by 200 Billion in assets or in cash by the FDIC. “It’s a scam,” says Schectman. “They don’t have enough money to back the deposits. This will make the great depression look like a walk in the park. They have removed all reserve requirements ever since the pandemic, so when you deposit money in the bank, they don’t hold it. Bailouts are gone and Bail-ins are the order of the day. The FDIC doesn’t want the public to know as it could produce a run on the banks.” Skip the waitlist and invest in blue-chip art for the very first time by signing up for Masterworks: https://www.masterworks.art/richdad.

Owen Anderson, a philosophy and religious studies professor at Arizona State University, discusses the impact of free speech on campuses. He highlights how protests against conservative viewpoints create a chilling effect, leading to self-censorship among students and faculty. Anderson argues for the importance of presenting diverse perspectives in education to foster critical thinking. He emphasizes the need for civil discourse and the dangers of ideological conformity, calling for courage in defending free expression and engaging with differing opinions.

Guest Chris Martenson, author of the newly released The Crash Course, picks up where he left off with his prophetic look at the economy. The original Crash Course video was released in 2008, followed by the book version in 2011. Considered ahead of its time, today, we are poised for an economic perfect storm. We need to prepare ourselves. A big event is coming and the ones with skills to adapt will succeed. Host Robert Kiyosaki and Martenson talk about the 3 E’s: Economy, Energy and Environment. With the 4th “e” being “exponential growth.” Our nation is creating more debt; more fake money. “Money is a marker, a claim. And we are making it faster than ever. But at some point, it breaks. And it breaks badly.” “We haven’t made any serious plans for how we’re going to control our deficit spending or how we are going to navigate this energy future,” Martenson says. “Europe is a continent of 400 Million people. They are energy poor and they just got into a war with Russia by proxy. What happens when you starve a continent of 400 million? A huge decline of living standards, the driving factors being food and energy. The reason we aren’t creating a real economy is because we aren’t producing anything. “To produce, you have to have energy. Houses, cars, food. Just scratch a little and you’ll find energy. If you want to have an economy, prosperity comes because we have energy.” Prepare for social unrest. Have a Plan B. “Ask yourself, what do I know how to do?” says Martenson. The number of people who know how to do things is dwindling.” Learn skills. Grow a garden.
