Investor, Entrepreneur, Financial Education Advocate, and “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki joins Jay to discuss the impending depression, how the events of August 15th 1971 inspired him to question things, real estate, mining, and the games played in Vancouver. He discusses generational differences and relying on a 401k, and Jay gets his thoughts on the inflation vs deflation debate. The most successful investors know that fortune is made during a crisis and Robert believes that you need to be shifting your mindset to prepare for the next crash, today. Lastly, he posits Corona is the scapegoat that will be used to blame the upcoming market crash. From this interview it’s clear that Robert ultimately wants you to remember one lesson; the bull walks up the stairs and the bear goes out the window.  To get more from Robert, follow him on Twitter @theRelKiyosaki and head to richdad.com. Join our investment community and sign up for our free weekly newsletter at cambridgehouse.com.

Gerald Celente, founder of the Trends Research Institute and publisher of the Trends Journal, delivers a scathing criticism of big banks, pharma, tech, politicians, and the military industrial complex. Gerald talks about the death of ingenuity in the US and the rise of China through the rest of this century, highlighting the Belt and Road initiative. Gerald is a political atheist, unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology, or conventional wisdom. He opens up about his physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial preparation for life; taking a whole health approach. Celente and Jay also discuss the 4 groups Celente says are running the world, the future of big tech (which is one of them), and what Celente believes to be the way out. To get more from Gerald, follow him on Twitter @geraldcelente and visit trendsresearch.com Join our investment community and sign up for our free weekly newsletter at cambridgehouse.com.

Dr. Christopher Ryan is the author of two amazing and polarizing books: Civilized to Death, and Sex at Dawn. He is also the host of the podcast Tangentially Speaking. Dr. Ryan discusses what motivated him in his books, and if now is really the best time to be alive, like most of us assume. He seeks to understand humanity and the decisions we make through an unfiltered lens. In this episode, Dr. Ryan highlights parallels between the social unrest we’re experiencing today with the evolution from hunter gatherer to agricultural societies. He also posits when structures fall, we see people coming together (though we’re taught to assume the opposite). He briefly discusses Bitcoin; that to him is a colossal amount of energy used to do nothing. Lastly, the two discuss the reality of insurance, which Dr. Ryan says demonstrates how every possible thing that could be monetized, is. Jay believes that part of being a great investor means identifying your own biases and social conditioning to uncover your blind spots, so we hope you're able to take something new from this conversation, and enjoy it as much as we did. To get more from Dr. Christopher Ryan, you can follow him on Twitter @ThatChrisRyan or visit his website chrisryanphd.com. Join our investment community and sign up for our free weekly newsletter at cambridgehouse.com.

Raoul is also the former Head of European Hedge Fund Sales at Goldman Sachs, and former Portfolio Manager, GLG Global Macro Fund.

He provides an update on his unfolding thesis, which he says changed because the FED backstopped the credit markets. The two also discuss his portfolio, (at the time 98% of his liquid assets were invested into crypto currencies), asset allocation strategy, time horizons, and more. They get into the death of macro, emerging markets trade and gold, and the global debt jubilee; a speculative concept of which there is no way to predict its likelihood to occur.  This episode was recorded on January 8th 2021 for the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference #VRIC21. To get more from Raoul, follow him on Twitter @RaoulGMI. Join our investment community and sign up for our free weekly newsletter at cambridgehouse.com.

In this episode, Jay is joined by Grant Williams who, much to his dismay, has logged over 35 years in finance.

In this episode, Jay is joined by legendary speculator, libertarian philosopher, and bestselling author Doug Casey of Casey Research. Most commodities, now being under the cost of production, are good value. In Doug's words, "it's metaphysically impossible for everything to be over-priced, but actually everything is overpriced, with the exception of the raw materials of civilization, which is to say, commodities. I’m bullish on commodities in general, that’s the argument in a nutshell." In this interview Doug discusses his novels, takes a deep dive into the value of commodities and why he’s so bullish on them, his investments in the shipping industry, and how he breaks up his portfolio. He also touches on why he believes we are well into, what he calls, the greater depression. To get more from Doug, head to highgroundseries.com and check out Doug Casey’s Take on YouTube.  Join our investment community and sign up for our free weekly newsletter at cambridgehouse.com.

For the first episode of The Jay Show, Jay discusses a number of contemporary issues with the Right Honourable Stephen Harper. As Canada’s 22nd Prime Minister, Mr. Harper led Canada’s quick recovery from the 2008 depression, and Jay draws on that expertise to shed light on a possible future. Jay seeks his perspective on a number of topics, including the most important decisions/policies he put in place to help Canada make the most of the growth in resource prices through his tenure as PM. Mr. Harper also offers his thoughts on the commodities market, and the end game with our runaway government debts and the potential of a sovereign debt crisis. They deliberate, if the USD is sustainable as the world reserve currency, what happens to the US if they were to lose Reserve currency status, and what would replace it? Jay also gets Mr. Harper’s thoughts on Central Bank Issued Digital Currencies and the economic forces that have been tipping the world toward populism. Moreover, they discuss the extent to which major technology companies (Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.) are responsible for the growing divide and unrest, and the industries Mr. Harper feels will provide the most opportunities for young entrepreneurs.  To stay up to date with Mr. Harper, you can follow his official Twitter account @stephenharper, and be sure to pick up a copy of his book, Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption.  Join our investment community and sign up for our free weekly newsletter at cambridgehouse.com.
