Josh and Zach discuss why gold is being treated as a non-liability asset, why countries may be losing trust in debt-based financial systems, and what everyday people can learn from how central banks protect their wealth. The conversation also covers Turkey selling gold into its own private market, the importance of liquidity, why precious metals can act as a safe-haven asset, and why gold and silver may still represent a major opportunity. In the second half of the episode, Josh and Zach shift into this week’s Sound Money Principle: discipline. They explain why motivation is not enough, why discipline matters in business, how entrepreneurs can build better habits, avoid distractions, schedule their time, and create more freedom through consistent action. If you care about gold, silver, sound money, business, entrepreneurship, discipline, and building long-term financial strength, this episode is for you.
