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

In this episode, Robert Kiyosaki breaks down why your house, your 401(k), and even the people closest to you might be draining your cash flow instead of building it — and what the 2026 economy is about to do to make that worse.
You'll learn the six words that define financial literacy, why your retirement account might be working against you, how family and relationships show up on your financial statement, and why financial IQ has nothing to do with your degree.
If you've ever been told your house is an asset, this episode will change how you see your entire financial statement.

Hard assets have become a central topic for investors concerned about inflation, government debt, geopolitical conflict, and the future of the U.S. dollar. In this special compilation from The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki speaks with leading economists, investors, and industry experts about why tangible assets may offer greater protection during periods of financial uncertainty.

Throughout these conversations, Robert explores how the global monetary system is evolving, why central banks continue accumulating gold, how Bitcoin compares with traditional stores of value, and why oil remains one of the world's most strategically important commodities. The discussion also examines inflation, currency debasement, government debt, and the growing importance of owning assets that cannot be created through monetary expansion.

In this episode, you'll learn:

-Why hard assets matter during inflationary periods
-How gold, silver, Bitcoin, and oil serve different roles in a portfolio
-Why many investors are concerned about the long-term purchasing power of the U.S. dollar
-How government debt and monetary policy influence financial markets
-Why energy remains a critical driver of the global economy
-How geopolitical events affect commodity prices and investment opportunities
-Why central banks continue increasing gold reserves
-How investors can think about preserving wealth during periods of economic uncertainty

Whether you're interested in precious metals, Bitcoin, energy investing, or understanding today's macroeconomic environment, this compilation offers multiple perspectives on why owning real assets may become increasingly important in a changing financial system.

Everyone tells young people the same thing: do what you love, and the money will follow. Robert Kiyosaki says that's exactly the mistake keeping an entire generation broke — and it has nothing to do with which career or which cryptocoin they picked.

If Robert Kiyosaki had to start over with just $10,000, here's exactly what he would do — and it's NOT what your financial advisor would tell you. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad reveals the $10,000 mistake that keeps most people poor, the one question to ask before trusting anyone with your money, and the single skill that generates cash flow and income you control — no salary, no boss, no permission required.

In this compilation, economist Jim Rickards discusses his concept of the "New Great Depression," distinguishing it from a recession by defining it as sustained below-potential economic growth. He explores the inflation-deflation debate, emphasizing declining money velocity as a deflationary force despite expanding money supply. Rickards predicts gold could reach $14,000-$15,000 per ounce if tied to a gold standard, while critiquing the Federal Reserve's forecasting models. He advises investors to diversify across stocks, gold, real estate, cash, and Treasury notes, and references Warren Buffett's moves into gold mining as validation of his bullish outlook on precious metals.
