“The garbage that is out there… all they are trying to do is manipulate the market for their own personal gain,” Todd "Bubba" Horwitz states, referring to the AI-generated deep fake videos that were being used in a coordinated campaign to attack gold. In today's interview with Daniela Cambone, Bubba breaks down why this desperate attack is a signal of strength for gold, not weakness. He argues that after a powerful rally, this is exactly the kind of shakeout you should expect. “You get these big dramatic up moves... there's going to be a pullback. Don't worry about it. Use that as a buying opportunity,” he advises. Find out why the "charlatans" are so desperate to get your gold now and why Bubba believes every portfolio needs this hard asset protection.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1179: We close out Q4 Strategy Week with Ryan Rohrman, CEO of the Rohrman Auto Group. He breaks down how cleaner data, connected systems, and smarter marketing decisions can save you money, sharpen your efficiency, and help you finish the year with momentum.Show Notes:The goal is frictionless customer access — tech that talks and data that actually works.Rohrman Auto Group discovered 40% of their data was “dirty” just six months post-cleanup — now they scrub it monthly.Dirty data = wasted spend. Even a 30% error rate means 30% of your marketing dollars miss the mark.Ryan's team built a single “source of truth” (Snowflake) to unify CDP, DMS, and CRM data.Exploring tech outside automotive has proven faster, cheaper, and more adaptable than legacy systems.“It's not about spending less — it's about spending smarter.

From holiday PTO and campus ebb-and-flow to tech-enabled check-ins and bay visibility, Joe shows how disciplined processes and smart tools keep throughput high and customers happy into year-end.Show Notes with links:Plan for dual PTO: your team and your customers. College-town stores see sharp holiday rushes from parents and students—staff and stock accordingly.Stick with what works: sub-hour cycle times, ~30-minute LOFs, and rigorous FRFT targets keep lanes moving when volume spikes.Streamline write-up: mobile/electronic check-in, photos/video, and voice-to-text (or customer noise recordings!) reduce ambiguity and speed technician diagnosis.See the bottlenecks: SkaiVision plate recognition flags unattended vehicles, long waits, and even surface sales opportunities from the lane.“Q4 tends to be a little more strategic—we hunker down and execute what we've practiced all year.” — Joe CastelinoJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

"There's fewer guardrails, economic guardrails on Trump than there were the first time,” says renowned precious metals expert John Doody to Daniela Cambone, explaining why gold has surged past $4,000 an ounce. “That's why gold is up 50% in just nine months,” he adds, drawing parallels to the 55% gain during Trump's first term.Doody dives into the factors driving the rally, from central banks diversifying away from the dollar to global investor uncertainty, and highlights why he believes the bull market isn't over: “The cause for gold going higher isn't going to change anytime soon.” He also shares insights on silver, mining stocks, and his top gold stock picks, which have soared 160% this year.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

“Western fiat currencies are in real trouble,” warns billionaire investor Frank Giustra in an interview with Daniela Cambone. He paints a grim picture of the financial system and calls for an imminent monetary reset that will drive gold higher. “It's not a bubble... and this is a once-in-a-century dynamic.” He points out that the driving force is the central banks' frantic gold buying. “So anything could happen that triggers a sell-off. In a debt-ridden environment, it can really become a spiral,” he warns. He also cautions that a stock market correction will happen and will have a knock-on effect on the overall economy.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

Over the last two years, gold and silver have doubled in price. That's not just market noise—it's the loudest signal yet that the current global monetary system is nearing its breaking point. A massive wealth transfer is already underway: away from paper assets and into real, tangible money.

“What Mexico's doing, what the U.K. is doing, and what the United States is going to do is the future,” warns renowned trend forecaster Gerald Celente, referring to Mexico's new biometric CURP system. In today's interview with Daniela Cambone, he argues that Central Bank Digital Currencies will give governments “complete control over the people,” erasing financial privacy as nations like Vietnam, Mexico, and the UK move toward mandatory biometric verification and surveillance-based finance.“We know every penny is spent — what you spent it on, when you spent it, and where you spent it,” Celente says. As he connects the rise of digital currencies, global debt surpassing $337 trillion, and AI-driven control, Celente warns that the system is being set up to “steal all the money from you that we can,” pushing the world into what he calls the New World Order.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

“I called 'the Vancouver model' in the United States, laundering over 300 billion for Mexican fentanyl cartels in four years,” says investigative journalist Sam Cooper, author of Willful Blindness. In today's interview with Daniela Cambone, he cites a U.S. Treasury report confirming the connection between the Chinese underground banking systems and the money laundering, revealing how this "deliberate policy" of weak laws has turned Canada into a net exporter of fentanyl and a critical security threat to the U.S.“Canada is a Western hemisphere capital for Chinese Communist Party networks using Canada as a money laundering hub,” he argues.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

The $4,000 gold price isn't just a headline — it's a verdict. A signal that the global monetary reset is not only real but accelerating fast. For financially conservative Americans already worried about inflation, retirement security, and the future of the dollar, this confirms everything we've been preparing for.If you're not already positioned in physical gold and silver, this may be your last clear signal before the next leg higher.

“It's really theft. And it's not mistaken theft or stupid theft. It's deliberate policy theft,” says Matthew Piepenburg, author of Rigged to Fail, of the current fiscal environment. He warns we are at a “Stalingrad moment” for the U.S. dollar, driven by unsustainable debt and central banks “net stacking gold and net dumping U.S. Treasuries.”This historic shift, he explains, is because “policymakers are not your friends” and are deliberately debasing currency. “When that debt credit balloon approaches a popping moment… the currency used to monetize that debt… melts like an ice cube.” In this environment, “gold just tells the truth,” acting as a vital lifeboat. “Gold has almost a supernatural, historical, and inherent quality that's simply unmatched. And that's why it's in such demand, and it will always get the last laugh over dying fiat paper money. It just always does.”✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

Gold is exploding to new all-time highs. The media is finally paying attention. But ask yourself: is it too late to buy gold? Or are we just seeing the beginning of something far more seismic? Here's the truth Wall Street won't say out loud: this gold rally isn't driven by retail FOMO. It's the clearest sign yet that the global monetary reset is accelerating—and central banks know it.

“It's a phenomenon unseen since the 70s when inflation and economic upheaval followed close behind,” says Joel Litman, chief investment strategist at Altimetry.Gold and U.S. stocks are both rallying, a rare alignment that reflects a unique market environment. “You can have a situation where gold does very well because every other part of the world has turbulence and crises… and yet still have the S&P 500… doing very, very well because they're driven by earnings and profits, not necessarily what's happening from the rest of the world,” Litman explains.With hundreds of stocks doubling this year alone, he calls it a “Goldilocks for gold and stocks” scenario, highlighting opportunities for investors to balance safe-haven assets with high-growth U.S. equities. “You say, all right, so I have some of my portfolio in gold and some of my portfolio in stocks that are doubling,” Litman concludes, underscoring a historic moment for markets.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

“The global financial order is tilting—and it's not going to stop,” says Dr. Nomi Prins, former Goldman Sachs managing director and bestselling author of Collusion.With the Shanghai Gold Exchange launching offshore vaults in Hong Kong, Singapore, Zurich, and Dubai, Prins calls it a “time zone tilt, a geographical tilt, a power tilt” that shifts gold—and power—away from the West.“This is about redistricting the globe around the hard currency of gold,” she explains. “Central banks are diversifying away from the dollar, and gold is now the second most held reserve asset worldwide, ahead of the euro. China has been carefully sequencing this strategy for over a decade.”As gold surges toward $4,500 and silver gains momentum, Prins sees the East tightening its grip: “More nations are moving their gold away from London and into Shanghai or Singapore. That takes supply off the market, lifts prices higher, and creates an entirely new power base.”✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

“I do believe it could be an epic lifetime event,” says David Morgan, author of The Silver Manifesto, on the coming surge in gold and silver. Morgan warns that this is “not a nation state event like the Weimar Republic or Argentina… this is a global event.” With central banks scrambling, the dollar under pressure, and industrial demand now consuming up to 70% of all silver, Morgan argues the setup is unprecedented: “Right now… the only way to make supply and demand balance is by eating the above-ground supply.”As gold keeps smashing records—“we're in the acceleration phase… 90% of the move comes in the last 10% of the time”—silver's upside could be even greater. “Gold will get to a point where the average person can't buy an ounce at $4,000, but they can buy a lot of silver at $40. And that's when silver will actually take over gold and out-accelerate it.”✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

“This was just another way to divide the country,” warns Ed Dowd, Wall Street veteran and bestselling author of Cause Unknown, referring to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Dowd explains how the event signals deeper fractures in the U.S. economy and society, driven by wealth disparity, market instability, and deliberate political polarization.He highlights the looming housing crisis, noting an overbuilt multifamily market and rising affordability gaps, calling it the “canary in the coal mine” for the broader economic downturn. “Once housing really rolls, it'll affect GDP because housing all in is 20% of the economy,” Doud says.
