“It has the potential to drive down energy cost here in the United States and rebuild manufacturing,” says financial journalist and research economist Garrett Baldwin. In an eye-opening interview with Daniela Cambone, Baldwin reveals a groundbreaking energy development powered by Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), a technology with the power to transform the U.S. energy grid. According to Baldwin, unlike solar and wind, EGS taps into the Earth's virtually unlimited heat, providing 24/7, clean, base-load power—and it's already happening on U.S. public land. “I looked at this story out in Utah… I'd never seen anything like it before.” Watch this video to discover how EGS could revolutionize America's energy future.

“If one believes that this is a restructuring of the global trading system, as a lot of people do, then it is fait accompli, the United States is no longer going to have open capital account,” says Luke Gromen, founder and president of Forest for the Trees (FFTT). He explains to Daniela Cambone that if the US keeps its capital account open while China restricts capital flows, it risks becoming a source of funds for a heavily indebted global economy during trade disruptions. “Everybody wants to get their money out of China. Chinese say no. Then they go... to the US, sell stocks, sell treasuries. And the US loses the trade war.” Gromen also highlights that the status of gold has been strengthened since the 2008 financial crisis, when it became clear that the US would not reform fiscal policy but instead print money to resolve crises. “Gold is both preserving purchasing power and providing absolute national control,” he concludes. Watch the video to learn more of his insights and understand the evolving dynamics of global capital flows and the strategic importance of gold in today's geopolitical landscape.

“They're not calling it QE, but that's exactly what it is,” says Michael Gentile, founder partner at Bastion Asset Management. He tells Daniela Cambone that the Fed's quiet purchase of $43 billion in U.S. bonds signals “how precarious the situation” has become—with rising deficits, fewer natural buyers of U.S. debt, and the Fed increasingly forced to intervene. As a result, central banks around the world are rotating out of the U.S. dollar and into physical gold, driving a multi-decade structural shift in global reserve strategy. “We're seeing a multi-year, multi-decade rotation out of U.S. dollar assets into gold,” he states.

"What's coming up is gonna destroy millions—tens of millions—of retirees' retirements if they are not careful,” warns Chris Vermeulen, founder and chief investment officer at TheTechnicalTraders.com. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, he lays out a highly bearish outlook for financial markets, forecasting a severe economic downturn that he believes could rival or surpass the 2008 financial crisis. “To me, it looks like a stage four, which is a financial reset—kind of like the tech bubble, the 2008 financial crisis."Vermeulen predicts the S&P 500 could decline by as much as 47–55%, echoing the scale of past collapses. He also sees gold as a critical indicator of systemic risk and growing investor fear. "We're seeing a big movement into gold because you're getting out of the financial system. You're holding physical assets." Watch the full video to learn how you can better protect your portfolio.

“We will see over the years the dollar absolutely collapse against the one currency that does not represent anyone else's sovereignty…and that is gold,” says Dr. Thomas Kaplan, CEO and Chairman of NovaGold. In today's interview, he tells Daniela Cambone that all fiat currencies are inherently flawed and refers to the U.S. dollar as “double-ply toilet tissue.”Despite recent price increases, Kaplan believes gold is still in the “foothills” of a broader bull run. “We will look back on $3,000 gold as a complete gift… the same way as we look back now on the Dow at 3,000 in the late '80s as a gift,” he says. On the recent ECB's warning about gold, Kaplan sees it as further support for the bullish case. He emphasizes that the rising demand for physical settlement—not just futures contracts—could create a supply squeeze and trigger a major price surge. Watch the full video to learn more.

“Washington has been quiet and diplomatic about their growing concerns,” says Sam Cooper, investigative journalist and publisher of TheBureau.news. He tells Daniela Cambone that U.S. officials like Peter Navarro calling for Canada's removal from Five Eyes highlights a long-standing vulnerability to CCP infiltration.Over the past decade, Cooper explains, Canada has become a weak point in North American security—“used as a hub for operations that affect U.S. domestic safety.”“We're in for a world of hurt in Canada if we don't take the fentanyl and Chinese Communist Party threat seriously.” Watch the full interview to learn what's at stake for Canada moving forward.

“Over the next 10 years, the U.S. dollar will lose 75% of its purchasing power, which is how we will fund the $100 trillion in off-balance-sheet liabilities,” warns Rick Rule, president and CEO of Rule Investment Media. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, he draws a parallel to the 1970s, when the U.S. faced high inflation and the Fed kept interest rates low due to political pressure to support economic growth. That scenario eroded investor confidence in the dollar and eventually caused gold prices to soar. Rule believes a similar situation is unfolding today, with the Fed likely to “attempt to ease monetary policy and lower interest rates again.” In his view, this will signal to the gold community that massive inflation is on the way — “that the game is truly on.”Watch the interview to understand our current financial situation and learn how to allocate your portfolio.

“Europe is a crisis point, not the United States. The crisis point is that Europe has to come to terms with World War II,” says George Friedman, founder and chairman of Geopolitical Futures. In a conversation with Daniela Cambone, he explains that the post–World War II global system, where the U.S. played the role of geopolitical and economic anchor, is now over. “It's a very great system reset,” he explains. “It's a very great system reset. The financial community is obsessed with money, and that's quite understandable. But this nation is more than money, it's national security.”He also shifts focus to Europe, warning that if the continent fails to reconcile with its past and current geopolitical role, it could become a flashpoint for future conflict. “This is the place I'd watch for a war—Europe and Asia,” Friedman says, pointing to Europe's long history of internal wars among nation-states.

“Fusion… unlocks 20 to 100 million times more energy than traditional energy sources like coal or oil or gas,” says Whitney Tilson, lead analyst for Stansberry Investment Advisory and a 2025 New York City mayoral candidate. In a conversation with Daniela Cambone, Tilson shares his conviction that nuclear fusion—what he calls Amazon Helios—will be a revolutionary energy source poised to transform humanity in the coming years.. Fusion is not only ultra-efficient, he explains, but also runs on hydrogen, “the most abundant element in the universe.” He predicts this new energy breakthrough will disrupt the global energy economy and render traditional energy sources like oil, gas, and coal “losers.” Tilson also discusses his political ambitions and his mission to address New York City's long-standing issues.

“Gold and dollars would have saved you definitely,” says IE Business School professor Daniel Lacalle, referring to the widespread power outage in Spain that also crippled communications and access to water recently. In today's interview, he tells Daniela Cambone that in a crisis like that, electronic fiat money doesn't work. “You go to a store and you have to use this gold ring and you get food. That's for sure.” He also points out that the blackout was caused by politically driven energy policies that overly rely on volatile renewable sources without sufficient backup from stable power sources like nuclear and hydro. “The ideology of energy makes no sense… renewables are left-wing and nuclear is right-wing? That makes no sense.” Additionally, he argues that the attack on cash reflects the elite's effort to tighten social control, referring to a promotional video from the ECB that touted the digital euro's viability even without electricity or internet.

“There's a mad rush for physical gold... even the U.S. is bringing it back in. It tells you that they're preparing for something,” warns billionaire philanthropist Frank Giustra in a must-watch video. He sits down with Daniela Cambone to discuss how the global financial order is shifting, with gold returning to a central monetary role.As the U.S. prepares to adopt gold as a Tier 1 asset under Basel III regulations on July 1 of this year, Giustra says he sees a monetary reset coming and that “gold in one form or another is going to play a role in a new global monetary system.”For banks in particular, this change means they can increase the allocation of gold holdings on their balance sheets, using it as collateral or capital counted at 100% of its value—just like cash or U.S. Treasuries. And this, according to Giustra, will trigger “incredible ramifications” to the existing financial system. On the recent power outage scenario in Spain and Portugal, where cash withdrawals were limited, Giustra calls it 'a war on cash' and warns it could ripple globally as central bank digital currencies take hold.

“We're seeing more and more states actively participate in a monetary renaissance,” says JP Cortez, Executive Director of the Sound Money Defense League. He speaks with Daniela Cambone about how different U.S. states are making moves to support sound money by getting rid of taxes on gold and silver and recognizing them as legal tender again. Wyoming, Idaho, and Alabama are a few standout examples of these efforts. “Politicians tend to see dollar signs and don't understand the constitutional or historical reasons why gold and silver shouldn't be taxed,” Cortez points out. He also weighs in on the recent power outage in Spain, highlighting why depending only on digital money can be risky during a crisis. Key facts: 2025 has seen significant progress in sound money adoption.Leading states: Wyoming, Idaho, AlabamaChallenges in implementing sound money legislationWhy are politicians reluctant to adopt sound money?Spain's blackout highlights the risks of relying on digital money.

We could see a reset of some type that changes the whole system,” warns David Morgan, publisher of The Morgan Report. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, Morgan discusses the looming failure of the debt-based fiat monetary system, which he believes will ultimately lead to a financial crisis. “We are not where the market says we are… the financial system has been illogical for a very long time.” He adds that we're now in a “brisk walk” phase of gold accumulation, with central banks buying gold “hand over fist” as the public slowly begins to catch on. Meanwhile, “Silver is the Achilles heel of the entire financial system,” he says, indicating the metal's disruptive potential to the current fiat structure. Key Facts:Silver is the Achilles heel of the entire financial system.The run to gold has begun.Monetary reset is coming.The BIS has a plan for a new monetary system.

“Xi Jinping could very well decide that his only way out is actually to cause trouble someplace,” says Gordon G. Chang, Senior Fellow at the Gatestone Institute. He tells Daniela Cambone that as the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China continues to intensify, China is in a “hard position,” compounded by its slowing domestic economic growth. “You look at the objective factors, basically China doesn't have a way out of this.” He also points out that China's massive accumulation of gold indicates the country's concern about its dependence on dollar-denominated assets.

Key Topics: -What's Really Wrong with China's Economy?-U.S. vs. China: Who's Actually Winning?-Is China Courting Southeast Asia for a Power Play?-Why Is China Hoarding Gold Like Never Before?-Could China Be Gearing Up for War?-Will Mark Carney Let China Keep Its Grip on Canada?

"He's going to have a hell of a time getting a budget done if he keeps telling everybody we're going to ram down carbon taxes on every business in Canada,” says Kevin O'Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful, in an exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone following the Canada election. He warns of serious challenges ahead for Mark Carney in his effort to “rebuild” the Canadian economy. Unless Carney repeals elements of the Liberal legacy—such as Bill C-69 and carbon taxes—it will remain a struggle to attract investment back to Canada.O'Leary also describes Carney's win as “historic,” but attributes much of the victory to Trump's antagonism toward Canada. “A unique opportunity for Carney... let's forget about the Liberals' track record and let's focus on the enemy within North America, and that was Trump.” Finally, O'Leary highlights the fragility of Carney's position, noting that minority governments in Canada typically last only 18 to 24 months.

“They don't want to tell us that pain is coming. It's not popular,” says Maxime Bernier, founder and leader of the People's Party of Canada, who is running for Prime Minister. In an interview with Daniela Cambone on Election Day, Bernier outlines the key issues facing Canada: mass immigration, unsustainable debt, and the potential return to a gold standard under his government. He warns that a major monetary reset is already underway, driven by high debt levels in Western nations and the diminishing dominance of the U.S. dollar. Bernier also explores the possibility of a global shift toward a gold-based system for international transactions, which would present challenges for Canadians lacking gold reserves. In 2017, he recalled being “laughed at” by Stephen Harper when discussing the gold standard idea. Watch the video to learn more about his policies and his vision for Canada's future.

“Gold has become hard to control… Someone's putting pressure on the New York and London process of keeping the gold price mellow,” says E.B. Tucker, bestselling author of Why Gold, Why Now? In today's interview with Daniela Cambone, Tucker suggests that—like all cartels—the system was pushed too far and couldn't sustain itself. He argues that the gold futures market became so detached from physical gold that it lost credibility. He points out that FedCoin, a central bank digital currency, will rise to dominate the financial system, ultimately replacing traditional forms of money. Additionally, he opposes the idea of returning to the gold standard, warning it would lead to people being “wiped out.” However, Tucker recognizes gold's critical role in the coming financial transformation.

“Gold is a seat in a lifeboat,” says Lawrence Lepard, Managing Partner at Equity Management Associates and author of The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It. In our recent interview, he tells Daniela Cambone that compared to Bernanke's era, the scale and speed of current monetary intervention have significantly increased. He estimates the next wave could involve $7–10 trillion."Each time it gets bigger. Bernanke printed two, three trillion in three, four years. Powell printed five trillion in 18 months. This one, I think, will be between seven and ten."The solution to the currency crisis, he suggests, could involve a return to a gold-backed currency. “What I'm advocating for is a one-time reset as opposed to another 10 or 15 years of pain... a sound money future would clearly be better.”He further predicts that this reset could drive gold prices significantly higher, suggesting it could “easily hit 5,000, maybe this year.”

“It ends with the banks looking like they did at the end of World War II... half of their book was government bonds,” says R. Christopher Whalen, investment banker and author. In a conversation with Daniela Cambone, he breaks down the systemic risks emerging in the treasury market. “Today the treasury market is basically a carry trade with a lot of hedge funds using 100 to 1 leverage. That's the market for treasury debt,” he explains, pointing to the fragility of the current system. Whalen also argues that the Bretton Woods framework has eroded and that the dollar's dominance is waning. “This dollar Imperium has run its course.” He believes central banks — including the U.S. Federal Reserve — should diversify their reserves to include gold alongside major currencies like the dollar, euro, and yen. He views gold as a strategic reserve asset with untapped financial utility. “I hope... the BIS is going to recognize gold as a high-quality liquid asset... it would become eligible to be collateral in swaps,” he says. Key Topics: - President Trump and Powell were going to cross swords.- The Fed struggles to manage the economy and rates.- Multifamily real estate is the subprime today.- The Fed should be holding gold.- The dollar is attractive because of our marketplace.- National debt has tripled in 15 years.

"The bond market will start to get really, really concerned... credit market just seized up overnight," says Peter Grandich, publisher of PeterGrandich.com. Ahead of Easter Day, he sits down with Daniela Cambone to unpack growing risks in the financial system—and why even the Fed may be powerless to stop what's coming. Grandich points to a recent moment of overnight panic that shook the bond market and triggered a sudden credit market seizure. "We saw one day the stock market cave, the dollar cave, the bond cave, and gold go up a lot," he says. Typically, when stocks fall, investors flock to bonds or the U.S. dollar as safe havens. But in this rare and alarming scenario, Grandich explains, everything fell—except for gold, underscoring a deep loss of confidence in the entire financial system. Watch the full interview to learn why there's no better time than now to invest in gold.Key Topics: -Peter Grandich stresses the Fed's shifting dynamic with Trump.-Gold is surging on unprecedented physical demand.-Markets now move more on algorithms than individual investors.-Deep U.S. political and social divides are clouding the economic outlook.-Talk of a global reset grows as nations eye alternatives to the dollar.-Equity markets face rising correction risks.-The Fed's influence is fading compared to years past.-Easter symbolizes renewal and hope.

“The secular bull market in bonds, which was in place from 1982 until 2020. That is over,” says Jordan Roy-Byrne, editor and publisher of TheDailyGold.com. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, he explains that capital is flowing from the bond market into gold. He emphasizes that gold has recently broken out against the traditional 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds), signaling a major shift in asset preference. “This is a big sea change compared to the last few years, more money is now going to move out of conventional assets and into gold.” Roy-Byrne also notes that before gold reaches a new high of $4,000 or more, it could experience a 10% to 12% pullback at some point this year. Watch the video now to learn how to capitalize on this “once-in-a-lifetime” gold opportunity.Key Topics: -The gold and silver bull market has just begun. -Market corrections are expected in the gold price.-Retail investors have not yet entered the gold market.-The significance of gold breaking out against the 60/40 portfolio.-Bonds are in a bear market.-“A big sea change” is coming to the bond market.-Gold could experience a 10% to 12% pullback before reaching $4,000 or higher.-Gold miners are positioned to benefit from rising gold prices.

“Gold is a reminder that the U.S. government runs a dishonest money system,” says Byron King, editor at Paradigm Press Group. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, King breaks down the surging global demand for gold—not driven by conspiracy theories, but by a growing lack of trust in the U.S. dollar. As countries watched the West freeze Russian assets during the Ukraine conflict, many began rethinking the safety of holding dollar-denominated reserves. He also explains why, in a world where currencies are backed by promises, gold stands alone as real, independent wealth. “Gold is nobody else's liability.” Watch now to find out why King believes now is the time to own gold."

How do we guide without pushing, encourage independence while offering support, and foster resilience in a world full of pressures? Ooof, it's a lot of work. Today, I'm joined by Neal Elliott, a parent and veteran coach at Beyond BookSmart who has been coaching since our company's inception in 2006, and whose wisdom has shaped countless lives. I asked Neal to join me to share three stories about coaching. The stories he chose highlight the importance of trust, relevance in learning, and meaningful parent-child relationships. You'll hear about a student who improved his algebra skills by connecting math to Minecraft, a long-term client who rebuilt confidence through trust, and a special in-person coaching moment from our pre-virtual coaching days.Neal's stories inspired our conversation and led us to talk about building trust, encouraging progress (even the smallest steps), and reframing failure as a vital learning opportunity. Whether you're navigating the teen years or guiding a younger child, I hope Neal's stories and wisdom will inspire reflection and offer some support for the road ahead. And be sure to check the show notes for Neal's curated collection of books and other resources he wants to share with Focus Forward listeners.
