  1. Gold Won't Make You Rich — Cash Will Quietly Make You Poor

    2D AGO

    Gold Won't Make You Rich — Cash Will Quietly Make You Poor

    Most investors still treat gold like a lottery ticket and cash like a safety blanket. They watch gold make new highs and assume it's finally "working." They sit on piles of cash and feel conservative and responsible. Both instincts are dangerously backwards. In this episode, Andy Tanner, Corey Halliday, and Noah Davidson reframe gold's real job in your life. Gold is not a growth engine. It's insurance. Its rising price is less a reason to celebrate and more a signal about what's happening to your currency, your grocery bill, and your future purchasing power. You'll hear why "cash is a loser" in an inflationary system that must keep printing, why gold bugs get one thing right and one thing very wrong, and why owning productive assets often beats hoarding metal — even when gold is surging. They also break down the practical side: physical gold vs ETFs, miners vs metal, and how options on gold-related assets can create cash flow while you quietly accumulate your hedge instead of chasing headlines. This is not about gold predictions. It's about understanding what gold, cash, and real assets are each designed to do — so you can position yourself like an owner, not a spectator.

  2. Why Demographics, Not Policymakers, Quietly Control Your Financial Future

    Why Demographics, Not Policymakers, Quietly Control Your Financial Future

    You've been told elections, central banks, and headlines are what move markets. But what if most of your financial future was locked in the day people were born… or never born at all? In this episode of the Cash Flow Academy, Andy Tanner sits down with demographer Kenneth Gronbach, author of Upside: Profiting from the Profound Demographic Shifts Ahead, to show why economics is really a subset of demographics — not the other way around. They unpack how a "missing" Generation X quietly crushed entire industries like motorcycles and jeans, why China and Japan are aging into economic dead ends, and why immigration is actually propping up labor, consumption, and tax bases in the Americas. You'll hear how massive Baby Boomer wealth, delayed Millennial family formation, and Latino population growth are converging into powerful tailwinds for specific sectors like housing, healthcare, autos, and local services. More importantly, you'll learn how to think: where demand is mathematically guaranteed to rise, where it's destined to fall, and why "policy plus demographics gives you the future." This conversation won't tell you what stock to buy next. It will give you a clearer map of who will be working, earning, spending, and needing care over the next several decades — so you can position your portfolio with intention instead of reacting to the latest headline.
