Andy Schectman rejoins the program to discuss the uncontrolled money printing and the “magic computers” that have been found by DOGE. We discuss whether this is the money printing that is being reported as “off books” that could take down the system. We also discuss the fact that this month has seen the largest demand of silver buying ever recorded. We question how much longer demand can be this high without prices increasing to meet demand. Can they continue to keep the market price artificially low? Schectman believes is just a matter of time before silver resets to reflect market conditions.

Schectman emphasizes the broader implications of the summit's outcomes, including initiatives like BRICs Pay and BRICs Clear, which aim to enable more regional economic independence. They also touch on a lesser-known bank failure in Oklahoma as a potential sign of financial instability in the U.S., underscoring a potential shift in global financial power dynamics. https://milesfranklin.com/ The Commodity University: https://thecommodityuniversity.com/ Sign up for my free weekly newsletter at https://jaymartin.substack.com/subscribe Be part of our online investment community: https://cambridgehouse.com https://twitter.com/JayMartinBC https://www.instagram.com/jaymartinbc https://www.facebook.com/TheJayMartinShow https://www.linkedin.com/company/cambridge-house-international 01:31 - Recap of the BRICs Summit: What Were the Key Takeaways? 05:31 - Diverging Mandates: Are BRICs Countries United or Divided in Their Goals? 08:07 - Hidden Tensions: Is BRICs Unity a Temporary Alliance? 21:13 - SWIFT vs. Ambridge: The New Currency System That Could Challenge the Dollar 22:58 - What Prompted the U.S. to Push Back on BRICs' Currency Plans? 33:06 - Shifting Strategies: From Paper Contracts to Hard Asset Accumulation 43:08 - Poland's Gold Accumulation: A Signal of Financial Independence? 50:39 - Oklahoma Bank Failure: Setting a Precedent for Bail-ins? 58:11 - FDIC Limits: Are Uninsured Deposits Truly at Risk?

Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, we pull back the curtain on what it takes to run a small, community or nonprofit ski area in the face of large mountain, corporate competition. My guest and long-time ski industry veteran, Jamie Schectman, takes a break from ripping turns in the Italian Alps to talk about an endangered specifies - small ski areas. The good news, financial models that exist to keep them sustainable – nonprofits, general improvement districts (Diamond Peak, NV), co-ops (Mad River Glen, VT), B-Corps (Taos, NM) historic preservation licenses (Old Hickory, NY) and even ski clubs. There are also operational models, such as NSAA's Sustainable Slopes and Stoke Certification (Mount Ashland, OR) to help ski areas achieve the Triple Bottom Line - that their business is good on Profits, for People and for the Planet. For struggling ski areas, Jamie begs them to think outside the box, and for users to become the owners (a few movers and shakers and big donors will help). Storm clouds have been brewing around small ski areas for a while now, but Jamie will tell you there are lots of options to save a ski area – and even bring a few back to life (Saddleback, ME)! Keep an ear out for the Caddyshack and Hot Dog The Movie references!

andy Schectman, President of Miles Franklin, returns to the program to discuss geopolitics, money, and the art of war. We discuss what is going on behind the scenes as everyone everywhere is sidetracked with the details of the Ukraine Russia war. What you do not see is what is important. It's critical to be prepared and to understand the real ramifications to the dollar and the economy. You can learn more about Andy Schectman and get links to his ongoing shows at MilesFranklin.com.

Summary: Andy Schectman comes on Financial Survival Network to talk about the impact of the war on the metals market. Price appreciation in the metals has been a major effect of what is going on—especially as the dollar continues to lose value. Schectman predicts that the next war will likely be fought over the US dollar, and we continue to learn that we can't put our trust entirely in this currency. Tune in for more predictions on what's to come. Highlights: -When governments are fighting wars, it's hard to believe any perspective -Platinum has recently gone over $1k/oz—all of this supply is coming out of Russia -The price appreciation is an effect of what is going on -The sanctions in Russia will have an impact on the US -The US isn't going to slow down the printing of money any time soon -Each war sets the issues and creates the rationale for the next war -The next war will likely be fought over the US dollar; Russia and China are somewhat aligned -Schectman thinks that the Ukraine situation is going to get a lot worse before it gets better -If all of your savings are in dollars, you are destined to go broke Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Miles Franklin

Each day, more than 130 people die from opioid overdoses. Opioids are a class of drugs that include prescription pain relievers like oxycodone. They also include illegal drugs like heroin. In 2019, 1.6 million Americans had an opioid addiction. This is also known as opioid use disorder. Yet effective medications—like buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone—are prescribed to only a fraction of people with opioid use disorder. Patients often receive such medications in an opioid treatment program. Methadone, for example, can only be given in a certified treatment program. Primary care physicians can apply for a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine. However, less than 10% of U.S. primary care providers have a buprenorphine waiver. Given the limited number of patients that each physician can treat, involving pharmacists in opioid treatment may improve access. The Doctor Patient Forum's Mission Statement is to advocate, educate, and defend the rights of patients, to protect all providers (including prescribers and pharmacists) who tirelessly work to treat their patients, and to bring awareness to the general public regarding restrictions upon medical providers. We are fighting for a return to individualized patient care instead of using guidelines and laws based on little evidence using arbitrary thresholds. Contrary to what has been said, we are not “industry funded.” We haven't taken any money from pharma. We are not being paid to promote opioids. We are simply chronic pain and illness patients who are fighting as hard as we can to effect change in this broken system where the patient's voice is non-existent. For part 4 of the series, we're honored to have Ms. Bev Schechtman. Ms. Schectman is one of the founding members of Don't Punish Pain Rally and is the VP of The Doctor Patient Forum. She grew up in northern New Jersey, and has lived in the Raleigh area in North Carolina since 2009. Bev has been married to Randy for 18 years, and has two teenage daughters, Emma, 17, and Livvy,13. She also has a 3-year-old Aussidoodle, Griffin. Bev has been living with Crohn's Disease and Psoriatic Arthritis for over two decades. She first contacted Claudia Merandi after being denied opioid medication while hospitalized for kidney stones in 2017.She was denied due to being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Bev is a passionate advocate for people with chronic pain and illness as well as those who have PTSD/ survived sexual assault/abuse. Bev has her B.A. in Psychology and hopes to get her M.S.W. in the near future. Bev is a voracious reader and researcher. She is passionate about understanding why pain patients are being mistreated so she can educate other patients and empower them to fight back. Bev hopes her advocacy work brings awareness to the anti-opioid zealots who are profiting off of punishing pain patients while pretending to care about those with addiction. She also believes strongly in Harm Reduction efforts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Summary: It seems as if inflation is not quite as transitory as the media has portrayed. I sit down and chat with Andy Schectman about this ongoing phenomenon, which seems to be solidifying more and more as time passes. While CPI seems somewhat normal, things like commodity prices and house prices aren't factored into this number. Tune in to hear Schectman and myself breakdown the inflationary situation that is definitely structural, and to hear about the wide-reaching implications of this matter Highlights -Inflation is not so transitory -The largest social security increase in decades is coming -Companies are paying higher hourly wages and offering sign-on bonuses -Prices are going up, house prices are going up, but these numbers aren't factored into the CPI -The media doesn't do a good job of telling the truth -This inflation is definitely structural -Until you get a change in policy and the government is willing to make difficult decisions, this will be with us for the foreseeable future -As money depreciates, it never has as much value as when you first had it -The US leaving Afghanistan had a major impact on OPEC—they're being protected by Russia and opened up oil to other currencies Useful Links Financial Survival Network Miles Franklin info@milesfranklin.com Silver Supply Could Vanish Overnight with Andy Schectman Silver Bullion Will Disappear – “People Are Waking Up” with Andy Schectman

2Life Communities President and CEO Amy Schectman knows too well how easy it is for middle-income older adults to fall between the cracks. That's why she and 2Life have come up with a new senior housing concept aimed at filling the middle-market "abyss." The concept, called Opus, is meant to reduce senior housing rates for older adults through a mix of volunteerism, centralized locations and partnerships with other health and senior care providers. In this episode of Transform, learn: - Why 2Life is branching out beyond affordable senior housing to serve the middle market - What Schectman believes it will take to significantly lower senior housing rent below market rates and how Opus will work - Why partnerships may be the key to keeping middle-market care costs low - How 2Life balances mission and margin in the age of Covid-19

In this episode, we talk with Todd Schectman of PMI Bridgetown in Portland, Oregon about how he started his PMI franchise in September of 2020 and the growth of his business in the residential pillar. He shares his advice and lessons that he has learned as he has grown his business over the past ten months.

2Life CEO Amy Schectman has improved the lives of thousands of older adults with first-rate living quarters and activities. Under her leadership, 2Life is opening a new affordable housing complex annually and keeping the virus away.

Tom welcomes Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin back to the show. Andy likens Mondays hit on gold to a drive-by shooting. He says, "Physical demand has nothing to do with what we just saw on the Comex. This was done to create a perception of reality." It seems that new people are buying precious metals and there is a bit of an awakening. He feels Minnesota where he lives has changed dramatically. In general this year he has seen more business from a whole new subset of people. It's a vastly different market than before and the other half of the storm is still coming. The next government might not be market friendly and therefore they could sputter and crater. Democrats are likely to spend more and they may decide to send rates negative in order to stimulate spending. He discusses why "The Art of War" is an important thing for investors to understand because one of it's key strategies is misdirection. Today, the public is regularly misdirected from where they should be investing.People shouldn't focus on price but on the fundamentals. Normally small amounts stand for delivery on the Comex since it's usually used for hedging risk. He discusses how the German's when they pulled their gold from the United States they stated they wanted it before 2020. This year we've seen the rise of the others seemingly plugged in wealthy people standing for delivery. More metal is being taken off exchanges in a month than regularly happens in a year. The common thread seems to be to reduce counterparty risk. The current price smashdown is a gift for smart investors and the insiders know it's a rigged game. Physical posession of precious metals has never been more important. He believes we will see a new government digital currency that is in some way pegged to gold. The Fed needs this in order to generate inflation.

Tom welcomes a new guest to the show Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin. Andy makes a very compelling case for past market manipulation by large banks like JP Morgan. He sees a perfect storm coming soon, one where there will be no safe haven assets except precious metals. Bonds no longer have real returns when you consider inflation and are guaranteed to lose money. He dives into the gold-silver ratio, the flailing dollar, and the lack of precious metal supply. Many investors are increasingly nervous about inflation and are taking physical possession of their metals from exchanges. Gold and silver are real wealth, and today is a once in a generation buying opportunity. In a depression, gold and silver perform best because they are the only asset class that is not someone else's liability. Today there is massive counterparty risk throughout the system.

When Rachel Schectman founded Story, she wanted to create a space for experimenting with retail. At a time when many people were skeptical about the future of physical retail, Schectman believed, and proved, that a carefully curated retail experience could be successful. But a few years into a continuous cycle of revamping the store every other month, she wanted to find something bigger. So in spring of 2018, after weighing a few other possibilities, Schectman agreed to an acquisition by Macy's and, at the same time, became the retailer's first brand experience officer. Macy's inaugural Story pop-up, which was color-themed, launched in 36 Macy's doors earlier this year. This week marks the launch of their second concept, Outdoor Story, which includes brand partners such as Dick's Sporting Goods and Miracle-Gro and can be found in select Macy's stores through September. In this week's episode of The Glossy Podcast, Schectman discusses why Macy's was the right partner for her, what it's like running a new concept within the company and how she uses her experience in small business to inform how she manages brand partnerships.

 The concept of privilege in an internal investigation is critical. Two important privileges are the attorney/client privilege and the work product privilege. Unfortunately both are often miss-understood, miss-applied and consequently lost.  One such recent example of the miss-application of the attorney/client privilege was in the trial of former PetroTiger co-Chief Executive Officer (co-CEO) Joel Sigelman has brought the issue of the parameters of the attorney/client privilege yet again. As part of its undercover operation the FBI wired up the then PetroTiger General Counsel (GC), Gregory Weisman, and instructed him to go meet with Sigelman to discuss the payments by the company to the wife of an official of the Columbian state owned energy company Ecopetrol.  Sigelman’s counsel sought to have the video and audio recordings of this meeting suppressed based upon the attorney-client privilege that generally protects open communications between lawyer’s and their clients, where legal advice is sought by the client. To determine whether Sigelman has a valid claim, it is encumbent to understand the parameters of the attorney/client privilege. In an article, entitled “The Evolving Attorney-Client Privilege: Business Entities”, David E. Keltner wrote that under US federal law, the attorney/client applies when the following are present:  A client is seeking legal advice or a lawyer’s services; The person to whom the communication is made is a lawyer or his or her representative; The communication relates to a fact disclosed from a client (a representative) to a lawyer (a representative); Strangers are not present; A client requires confidentiality.  The significance of meeting each of these five prongs is critical. If they are met, “Absent privilege, once the attorney-client privilege is properly invoked – the privilege is absolute.” However the failure to meet Prong 1 is what doomed former co-CEO Sigelman’s efforts; as he was not seeking legal advice. It was former GC Weisman who flew to Sigelman’s home to confront him over the fact that the FBI had come to his house asking questions about the payments made in Columbia. Finally, it is important to note that the attorney/client privilege belongs to the corporation and not to any one individual.  The attorney/client privilege can be waived. While there is a general recognition that “only an authorized agent of a corporation may waive the privilege of the corporation” Keltner advises that the “most frequently encountered instances of losing the privilege through selective disclosure” are in responding to a government investigation; supplying information to a government agency; information disclosed in certain Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings or other required financial disclosures; in certain circumstances disclosures to external corporate auditors or accounting responses; any disclosure made to a third party not affiliated with a lawyer; and insurance disclosures.  How should we apply the above to the situation faced by former co-CEO Sigelman? Was he simply meeting with his lawyer or was he seeking legal advice? As reported by Joel Schectman in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), in an article entitled “Secret Informant Recordings to be Allowed in PetroTiger Case”, the trial court distinguished between having an attorney/client relationship from the attorney/client privilege. Schectman reported, “a judge in U.S. District Court in Camden said last week that merely having an attorney-client relationship isn’t enough to make all conversations privileged–a client needs to be actively seeking legal advice. “I cannot find a shred of indication that Weisman is there with the intention of giving legal advice to Sigelman,” Judge Joseph Irenas said, “or the converse, that Sigelman was seeking legal advice from Weisman.””  Interestingly the trial court did not opine on the question on who was the client in this situation. My experience is that most CEO-types think of a GC as their personal lawyer. That view is also misplaced as a GC works for a company and the client is the corporation. While he did not have to reach the question of who was the client in the Sigelman/Weisman meeting, the trial court might well have allowed the current corporate owners of PetroTiger to waive any privilege asserted by a former co-CEO. Schectman quoted G. Derek Andreson, a lawyer specializing in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, that “Attorney client privilege is often misinterpreted as broader than it is.”  Did the FBI take advantage of some special type of relationship between Sigelman and Weisman? As reported in the article, in his brief attempting to suppress the evidence, Sigelman’s counsel said, ““Messrs. Sigelman and Weisman had a “long standing attorney-client relationship, one that fostered candor and trust between them–as any good attorney-client relationship should. The government took advantage of this trust.”” Such would seem to be the nature of wiring up cooperating witnesses; if they cannot engender trust with those they are speaking to and surreptitiously taping; it would seem they are of little use to authorities.  For the attorney/client privilege to be of use to you, certain hard work must be done to establish the attorney/client privilege in the corporate context. The five prongs listed by Keltner must be fulfilled for the privilege to apply. Simply having a chat with your lawyer or even the company’s lawyer will not invoke the privilege or protect you.  In addition to the attorney/client privilege there is another privilege which can come into play around internal investigations. It is the attorney/work product privilege. Keltner noted, “The attorney-client privilege and the attorney work-product doctrine are often asserted interchangeably. While there is some overlap between the two, the attorney-client privilege is significantly different than the attorney work-product doctrine.” Moreover as “codified in Fed R.Civ. P. 26(b)(3), [the attorney/work product] provides a qualified protection to materials prepared by party’s counsel or other representative in the anticipation of litigation.” The doctrine exists “because it permits lawyers to “work with a certain degree of privacy, free from unnecessary intrusion by opposing parties . . .” The key is that it be prepared in anticipation of litigation Unlike the attorney-client privilege which belongs to a client, work-product immunity may be asserted either by the lawyer or the client. While the attorney-client privilege is included in the Rules of Evidence, the work-product doctrine is included in the Rules of Civil Procedure in the series relating to discovery. This makes it problematic to assert in the context of a criminal investigation.  For in-house lawyers in the UK or EU countries however, there is no such work product privilege. Two recent examples brought up this key difference in US and UK and EU legal systems. First was the raid by German prosecutors of Volkswagen’s outside counsel, Jones Day’s offices for information surrounding the law firm’s investigation relating to the company’s emissions-testing scandal. The raid was based on a court issued subpoena.  The second is the recent judicial decision out of the UK, involving Eurasian Natural Resources Corp. (ENRC). The UK’s highest court held the company must produce to the UK's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) documents the company claimed were privileged, including attorneys' notes of employee interviews conducted during the company's internal investigation. The SFO sought the documents as part of its criminal investigation into allegations of fraud, bribery, and corruption. The court largely rejected ENRC's claims of the work product privilege, holding that it does not apply when a document is not prepared for the sole or dominant purpose of conducting adversarial litigation. ENRC was required to produce the bulk of the contested documents because the investigation was a fact-finding exercise.  Three Key Takeaways Note the differences in the attorney/client and work product privileges. Both privileges can be waived intentionally or through inadvertent conduct. Take care on attorney work product outside the US, where there may be no privilege at all.           Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
