Living Your Greatness
warns that silver above $100 is where markets stop behaving normally. The next move won’t be orderly. As debt and deficits compound beyond control and fiat currency melts in real time, Piepenburg argues we’re watching the end of a credit cycle collide with the end of a currency cycle. He breaks down why “paper money is a beautiful ice cube that slowly melts,” why inflation is the quiet weapon destroying the middle class, why central banks are hoarding gold at record levels while the public is told “nothing to worry about,” and why silver’s next move may be anything but orderly,...

warns that the global financial system quietly crossed a point of no return years ago and that COVID was simply the excuse to push it over the edge. Governments never stopped spending, central banks never stopped printing, and the result is now unavoidable as purchasing power collapses in plain sight. Gentile argues the middle class is being systematically squeezed while markets are held together by debt, denial, and distortion. Gentile explains why gold surging from $1,100 to over $4,600 and silver pushing toward $90 is not a bubble but a warning signal most investors are ignoring. He draws...

says the U.S. dollar and global fiat system are in their final phase. This isn’t a normal correction. It’s a quiet collapse where trust dies long before the headlines notice. Most investors are waiting for currencies to “stabilize.” That’s the fastest way to get trapped. Capital is moving fast. Gold and silver are breaking out. They are no longer just protection; they are opportunity as real value replaces paper promises. Rule highlights deeply mispriced U.S. community banks and beaten-down Canadian oil equities. He also shares lessons from legendary investors like Eric Sprott and...

warns that silver is entering a phase he describes as “not normal,” where price discovery accelerates rapidly and unpredictably. After surging from $50 to $78, Oliver says the market is no longer behaving like a traditional commodity and that investors should stop expecting calm, orderly moves. Using his proprietary Momentum Structural Analysis, Oliver explains why silver’s dual role as money and industrial necessity has created a structural imbalance that can no longer be contained. With demand overwhelming supply for years, he outlines why silver could establish a $200 base far faster...

doesn’t sugarcoat it: the obsession with comfort is quietly sabotaging your healing. Decades working with trauma, resilience, and the nervous system have shown her one brutal truth: real growth rarely feels safe. Kim exposes why your nervous system remembers trauma long after your mind “forgets,” why avoidance masquerades as self-care, and why chasing comfort keeps you trapped in the same destructive patterns. She tears apart the myth that healing should feel calm, controlled, or easy because if it feels safe, you’re probably doing it wrong. You’ll learn: Why trauma and...

delivers a blunt warning most investors aren’t ready to hear: gold is no longer about safety. It’s about war, power, and survival. As governments and central banks quietly stockpile metal and global tensions accelerate, Clem explains why gold is becoming strategic money again and why silver, the “fast horse,” could deliver explosive upside as capital scrambles for hard assets. Clem also breaks down why emotional investors get wiped out, why FOMO destroys returns, and why AI, energy demand, and tightening supply are setting up a historic repricing across commodities. He shares his...

warns the world is on the brink of a historic financial and societal collapse. Gold could easily hit $5,000, $8,000 is probable, and extreme scenarios point to $10,000–$15,000 as fiat collapses, stocks fail, and central banks quietly hoard gold at record speed. Don reveals why buying monetary metals on the dips now could secure generational wealth, why gold and silver are about to explode, and how a coming spiritual awakening could completely upend humanity, consciousness, and the way we live by 2027. _ Sign up for my free weekly . _ Host: Ben Mumme _ Guest: Don Durrett

LBMA, COMEX, and Shanghai inventories are at historic lows while industrial demand from EVs, solar panels, and AI skyrockets. With shorts covering and investors awakening, silver could soar to $300 faster than anyone expects. Krauth lays out the roadmap for the next leg of the silver bull market and explains why gold and silver remain the ultimate protection in today’s financial storm. _ Sign up for my free weekly . _ Host: Ben Mumme _ Guest: Peter Krauth

David Morgan warns that silver’s climb from $28 to $60 was only the beginning. The metal is now ready to detonate to $100, $200, or even $300 faster than anyone expects. Collapsing commercial-bar inventories, a paper market on the verge of breaking, and gold’s quiet surge are creating a perfect storm that could leave the world unprepared. David also reveals the forces behind this detonation: years of fiat manipulation, record central-bank gold buying, a looming silver default, and the rise of a blockchain-based monetary system that could rewrite the global financial order. If he’s right,...

Our first guest, Peter Grandich, embodies the spirit of this series. His unlikely journey began with no formal education and managing a warehouse, but a small investment sparked a passion for the markets. After losing everything to the notorious penny stock brokers of the 1980s, Peter didn’t give up. He started an investment club that caught the eye of a brokerage owner. Despite doubts from loved ones, Peter became a stockbroker in an era when the business was little more than a desk, pad, and pen. His story is proof that grit, perseverance, and a hunger to learn can turn setbacks into lasting success. Peter also opens up about the often-overlooked struggles behind the financial world’s glamour, revealing the toll it took on his mental health: “In 2022… I actually lost a will to live. And it’s hard to imagine why, but that’s what it came to.” He reminds us that wealth isn’t just about money but about values and mindset: “Money is not the root of all evil — the love of money is.” From founding one of the first national investor relations firms to becoming known as the “Wall Street Whiz Kid,” Peter ultimately left Wall Street at his peak to pursue a life grounded in faith, humility, and purpose. His story shows that true wealth is about more than dollars—it’s about legacy, resilience, and meaning.
