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

There’s something going on behind the walls of “The People’s House” in Washington D.C. and as today’s guest describes, “It’s George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four coming to life.” George Orwell’s Nineteen Eight-Four “centers on the consequences of government over-reach, totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of all persons and behaviors within society. More broadly, it examines the role of truth and facts within politics and their manipulation.” Today’s guest Jack Bergman, U.S. Representative for Michigan’s 1st Congressional District, describes what’s happening in Washington D.C. as control. And he says, “The first way to control people is to cause fear.” Listen as hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Jack Bergman discuss why today, more than any time in history, exercising your right to vote is the most important thing you can do, and how he views the response from the government during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The economy can be divided into two eras: Before Coronavirus (BC) and After Coronavirus (AC) and it all comes down to taxes. And as the United States faces a presidential election in less than 100 days, there’s a great debate as to which candidate’s policies are best for the taxpayers. If you earn your income on the left side of the quadrant—through ordinary income—the only tax break you have is to buy a bigger house and go into greater debt. But the rich have scores of tax breaks offered to them by the government to encourage investment and business development, which generates more jobs.  The big question is which candidate’s tax plan will benefit the job creators?  Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki are joined by Rich Dad Tax Advisor, Tom Wheelwright, to discuss the political tactics being used to sway constituents this election cycle, and what entrepreneurs can start doing today to pay fewer taxes.  www.wealthability.com Learn more about your ad choices.

There are many reasons why public employee pension funds have grown so fast and one of them are promises. Governors and legislatures made pension promises to public employees but the problem was and still is that these governors and legislatures did not fund the pensions to match their promises. As a solution to the problem, in the 1980s, Wall Street began selling pension boards high risk “credit assets.”  The financially illiterate pension overseers blindly bought up these assets. To make matters worse, as public pensions failed to meet their overly optimistic return assumptions, Ted Siedle, Co-Author of Who Stole My Pension writes in his latest article in Forbes says, “Now the Department of Labor has paved the way for equity “wolves” to sell the highest cost, highest risk, most secretive investments ever devised by Wall Street to 401(k)s. As private equity is embraced, 401(k) costs will skyrocket, risk will dramatically increase and transparency will plummet.”  Host Robert Kiyosaki and guests Ted Siedle and John MacGregor discuss how agencies charged with protecting investors and retirement plans are taking greater risks and charging greater fees with a newly proposed exemption by the Securities & Exchange Commission.  John MacGregor, Author of The Top 10 Reasons the Rich Go Broke: www.johnmacgregor.net Ted Siedle, Co-Author Who Stole My Pension: http://www.siedlelawoffices.com Learn more about your ad choices.

True success does not come from money and opportunity but what you do with them.

His dedication to the younger generation led to the Detroit Lions nominating him as a 2019 Walter Payton Man of The Year nominee.  Off the field, Devon has over $1.5 million in assets under management which does not include his passive real estate portfolio where he operates as a limited partner in commercial deals across the country. Listen as hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Devon Kennard discuss why giving back and being a true leader in your community are so important, but also why financial education is imperative more today than ever before.  www.devonkennard.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Gold became money as determined by the free market because of its properties—scarcity. But with the invention of Bitcoin, we are now seeing a historical event that will never be repeated. What makes Bitcoin so special is that prior to Bitcoin there was no other form of money with its absolute limited supply. Bitcoin’s characteristics make it a direct competitor to the central banks because of its absolute scarcity, resistance to theft and confiscation, and the system that it’s built upon prevents it from being shut down.  Today’s guest, Robert Breedlove who is the Co-Founder and CEO of Parallax Digital, a digital asset hedge fund and digital securities advisory firm, says, “Central banking is a model based on socialism.” Whereas “Bitcoin is purely a capitalist technology and lives entirely in the free market.” So what is the endgame? Bitcoin separates money from State control. Host Robert Kiyosaki and guest Robert Breedlove, CEO of Parallax Digital, discuss the history of money, why fiat currency is a pyramid scheme, and how Bitcoin is challenging the central banking system.   Website: https://www.parallaxdigital.io An Open Letter to Ray Dalio: https://youtu.be/i0N9qj4gjmg Learn more about your ad choices.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are now challenging the hegemony of the U.S. dollar and other fiat currencies. In May 2020, a historic event cut the daily incoming supply of Bitcoin from 1800 Bitcoin per day to 900 Bitcoin per day—a sort of quantitative hardening—opposite of what the Fed is doing by printing trillions of dollars. Central banks, in simplest terms, create money out of nothing. They create “fake money” and loan it to governments. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is completely decentralized meaning that nobody can manipulate the market and there is not any single point of failure. It will be interesting to see how long the Central Banks will tolerate the competition from cyber money before there is a showdown.  Host Robert Kiyosaki and guest Anthony Pompliano examine the value of Bitcoin in the current economy and how it may create a quasi gold standard.  The Pomp Podcast: https://anthonypompliano.com/ An Open Letter to Ray Dalio: https://youtu.be/i0N9qj4gjmg Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1997, the book Rich Dad Poor Dad was self-published because every publisher Robert and Kim offered it to turned it down. Most publishers sent rejection letters stating, “We are not interested in your book at this time.” A few more honest publishers thought Robert’s ideas were ridiculous. As a result, Robert and Kim turned to self-publishing. Three years later, Rich Dad Poor Dad made the New York Times Best Sellers list, the only self-published book on the list at the time. Then Oprah Winfrey called, and the rest is history.  If you’ve ever had the idea to write your own book, this show is for you. Everyone has a great story living inside of them, it’s just a matter of getting that story to come to life, and even better make money doing so! Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Chandler Bolt discuss how now might be the best time to start writing your book, and why self-publishing can help you generate income even during a pandemic.  Website: https://self-publishingschool.com Podcast: https://self-publishingschool.com/podcast/ Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/selfpublishingschool/ Learn more about your ad choices.

When the coronavirus pandemic struck in the United States, the FDA was forced to closely monitor the medical product supply chain, including disruptions to supply or shortages of critical medical products in the U.S. because many of the components for those in-demand products are manufactured in China.  In a statement in February 2020, the FDA said, “Since January 24, the FDA has been in touch with more than 180 manufacturers of human drugs, not only to remind them of applicable legal requirements for notifying the FDA of any anticipated supply disruptions but also asking them to evaluate their entire supply chain, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (the main ingredient in the drug and part that produces the intended effects, e.g., acetaminophen) and other components manufactured in China. Also, as part of our efforts, the FDA has identified about 20 other drugs, which solely source their active pharmaceutical ingredients or finished drug products from China. We have been in contact with those firms to assess whether they face any drug shortage risks due to the outbreak. None of these firms have reported any shortage to date. Also, these drugs are considered non-critical drugs.” In the book, “China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine,” co-author, Rosemary Gibson, explains the dangers of relying on one country as a source of vital medicines.  Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki are joined by Rosemary Gibson to discuss how the United States can get out from under the dependence of China for drugs.  Visit Rosemary Gibson’s website: http://www.rosemarygibson.org Learn more about your ad choices.
