    99% of Junior Mining Companies Fail – Here’s How to Find the Winners | Michael Gentile & Ryan Petrillo

    Andy Schectman, President & Owner of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Michael Gentile, Founder of Bastion Asset Management and strategic investor in junior mining, and Ryan Petrillo, Vice President of Development at The Apostles Fund. Gold is trading near $4,500 an ounce, yet many junior mining companies remain deeply undervalued. Why? According to Michael Gentile, one of the most respected investors in the sector, the disconnect between physical gold prices and mining valuations may represent one of the biggest opportunities in the precious metals market today. Gentile explains why 99% of junior mining companies fail, how he identifies the rare winners, and why he believes the mining industry has been starved of capital for over a decade despite soaring gold prices. Ryan Petrillo joins the conversation to discuss how ultra-high-net-worth families are thinking about wealth preservation, philanthropy, hard money, and navigating a rapidly changing economic landscape. In this episode of Little by Little with Andy Schectman: - Why 99% of junior mining companies fail - How Michael Gentile identifies asymmetric opportunities - Why mining stocks have lagged behind gold prices - The capital shortage facing the mining industry - Central bank gold buying and precious metals demand - The debt crisis, money printing, and hard money - Wealth preservation strategies for families - Philanthropy, stewardship, and long-term impact - Why gold and silver remain relevant today Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   If people want Michael Gentile’s weekly newsletter you can sign up at saturdaymorningmining.com  If people want to learn more about The Apostles Fund Capital Thesis and get the slides to Michael Gentile’s Investment Strategy for Philanthropy, they can go to https://theapostlesfund.org/research  ___________________ Miles Franklin: 📞 Call us: 1-952-929-7006 📧 Email us: info@milesfranklin.com 🔗 Website: https://milesfranklin.com/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MilesFranklinMedia  📱 X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milesfranklinmedia/  💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/miles-franklin-media/  📘 Facebook: http://fb.com/MilesFranklinCo  📩 For media inquiries, contact: media@milesfranklin.com 📺 About Miles Franklin Media Join Miles Franklin Media for unfiltered financial and economic news and insights.

    The Government Can Freeze Everything… Unless You Opt Out | Kyle Chassé & Andy Schectman

    Andy Schectman, President & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Kyle Chassé, Founder of MV Global and crypto OG, for a deep conversation on gold, Bitcoin, CBDCs, tokenized gold, financial surveillance, self-custody, and the future of the monetary system. Kyle explains why he believes Bitcoin and gold are reacting to the same underlying problem: fiat debasement, institutional control, and growing distrust in the global financial system. The discussion explores whether Bitcoin has already been absorbed by Wall Street, the risks of CBDCs and stablecoins, quantum computing threats, tokenized gold, BRICS accumulation of gold, and why “the opt-out” may become increasingly important in the years ahead. In this episode of Little by Little:- Why Bitcoin and gold investors may ultimately become allies - BlackRock, ETFs, and institutional control of Bitcoin - CBDCs, stablecoins, and financial surveillance - The risks and opportunities of tokenized gold - Why self-custody matters - BRICS, de-dollarization, and gold accumulation - Quantum computing and the future of encryption - The possibility of decentralized global gold redemption systems #gold #Bitcoin #investing #tokenizedassets #tokenizedgold  Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   Follow Kyle Chassé on X: https://x.com/Kylechasse Check out Kyle’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYLxoSziVePq9rpptc8lEwA 👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay Informed Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

    The New Gold Monetary System Is Already in Place (Most People Missed It) | Stephen Leeb

    Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals and host of Little by Little, sits down with Stephen Leeb, Economist, Money Manager & NYT Bestselling Author, to break down the math behind a potential gold revaluation and why a global monetary reset may already be underway. Is gold massively undervalued? Leeb argues that decades of suppression, combined with unsustainable global debt and a shifting financial order, could force a dramatic repricing of gold – potentially to levels most investors aren’t prepared for. At the same time, a new monetary system may already be forming… outside the U.S.-led framework. In this episode of Little by Little: - The math behind the $18,000 gold scenario - Has gold been suppressed for decades? - Why a monetary reset may be inevitable - The role of central banks and global debt - Is a new gold-backed system already emerging? - Why most investors are missing the bigger picture Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman Follow Stephen Leeb on X: https://x.com/DrStephenLeeb   Check out Dr. Leeb’s Turbulent Times Investor: https://tti.kartra.com/page/AboutTTI Subscribe to Dr. Leeb's Substack: https://drstephenleebphd.substack.com/ Stephen Leeb's official website: https://www.stephenleeb.com/ Dr. Leeb’s book: China's Rise and the New Age of Gold (sample) →  https://read.amazon.com/sample/126044127X?clientId=share 👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay Informed Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

    ‘They Have No Idea What’s Coming’: Financial Freedom Disappearing Fast | Catherine Fitts & Schectman

    Miles Franklin Media presents a conversation featuring Andy Schectman in discussion with Catherine Austin Fitts on The Solari Report. Is the financial system quietly being rebuilt into something far more controlled? And are stablecoins, tokenization, and digital finance the gateway to a new surveillance structure? Schectman and Fitts break down the deeper story behind gold’s recent volatility, the growing disconnect between paper and physical markets, and why global trust in the U.S. dollar and Treasuries may be eroding faster than expected. In this episode: - Why gold drops during war and what it really signals long-term - The disconnect between paper gold pricing and physical demand - Massive COMEX deliveries and global silver accumulation - Why central banks and sovereigns are moving into gold - The rise of BRICS, yuan settlement, and de-dollarization - Stablecoins as a funding mechanism for U.S. debt - Tokenization of assets and the risks of programmable money - The emergence of a financial surveillance system - Why “financial freedom” may be disappearing faster than people realize Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman  Follow Catherine Audtin Fitts & The Solari Report: https://x.com/solari_the   Subscribe to The Solari Report here: https://solari.com/  You can sign up for our newsletter here: https://milesfranklin.com/sign-up/  👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay Informed Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

    Is the Fed Being Replaced? ‘Stablecoins Are the New System’ | E.B. Tucker & Andy Schectman

    Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with E.B. Tucker, Editor of The Tucker Letter. Is the Federal Reserve being replaced? Are stablecoins quietly becoming “Fed 2.0”? And what does that mean for gold, inflation, and your financial future? Tucker explains the structural shift happening inside the financial system – from stablecoins and digital control to inflation, gold, and the mindset needed to navigate what’s coming next. Tucker argues that what looks like chaos may actually be a redesign of the system, not a collapse and that most people are already inside it without realizing it. In this episode of Little by Little: - Are stablecoins becoming the new Federal Reserve (Fed 2.0)? - The rise of digital control and what it means for your freedom - Why inflation “has to go up” in the current system - How gold really works and why the move comes before the headlines - The truth about price discovery in gold and silver markets - Why most investors get gold wrong at major turning points - Mindset, opportunity, and why the next generation may have more upside than ever Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman       Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   Sign up for Miles Franklin’s newsletter here: https://milesfranklin.com/sign-up/ Subscribe to E.B.

    Gold to $7,000? Why This Correction Changes Nothing | Don Durrett & Andy Schectman

    Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Don Durrett, Founder of GoldStockData.com and author of How to Invest in Gold and Silver. As gold pulls back sharply, Durrett argues this is not the end of the bull market but the setup for the next major move higher. He breaks down why the global debt system is reaching a breaking point, why central banks are trapped, and why investors should be preparing for a potential monetary reset. Durrett warns that the U.S. is entering a “debt doom loop” with no clear exit, and says the next phase could include recession, market dislocation, and even a 30-40% devaluation of the dollar. In that environment, he believes gold could ultimately reach $7,000, with silver and mining stocks offering even greater upside. In this episode of Little by Little with Andy Schectman: - Why the debt bubble has reached a point of “no way out” - Why central banks are trapped between inflation and collapse - What’s really driving gold’s long-term move higher - Why this pullback is “just noise” in a bigger bull market - The case for gold reaching $7,000 - Silver upside potential and volatility risks - Why mining stocks offer asymmetric upside - What a potential dollar reset could look like - Why investors should be accumulating, not panicking #gold #silver #dollar #investing #debt Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman       Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   Follow Don Durrett on X: https://x.com/DonDurrett You can sign up for our newsletter here: https://milesfranklin.com/sign-up/  👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay Informed Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

    Gold Is Becoming Money Again in America | Jason Cozens & Andy Schectman

    Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin, sits down with Jason Cozens, Founder & CEO of Glint, to break down a major shift underway: gold is becoming money again in America. As U.S. debt surges past $39 trillion and trust in fiat currency erodes, several states are now moving to reintroduce gold and silver as functional money.  Cozens explains how new legislation across states like Florida, Texas, and Utah could allow Americans to save, transact, and even get paid in gold, while Schectman connects the dots to a broader global trend: the breakdown of trust in fiat systems and the return of gold as a neutral monetary asset. In this episode of Little by Little with Andy Schectman: - The push by U.S. states to reestablish gold as legal tender - Why gold may be replacing trust in the dollar system - The real story behind stablecoins and CBDCs - How Americans could soon spend gold in everyday transactions - What this shift means for the future of money Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman       Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   Follow Jason Cozens on X: https://x.com/jasoncozens Download the GLINT app ➜ glintpay.com/get Use referral code ANDY24 to get a FREE Glint card when you sign up.

    America’s ‘6 Trials by Fire’: $40 Trillion Debt, CBDCs & Crisis That Began in 1971 | Kevin Freeman

    Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Kevin Freeman – CFA, bestselling author and host of Economic War Room – to break down what Freeman calls America’s “Six Trials by Fire.” Freeman argues today’s economic instability didn’t begin recently, but in 1971, when the United States abandoned the gold standard, setting off decades of debt expansion, monetary experimentation, and growing systemic risk. From a nearly $40 trillion national debt to the rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), Freeman explains how monetary policy has evolved into a national security issue and why sound money may become central to preserving financial freedom. The discussion explores constitutional money, transactional gold and silver, global challenges to the U.S. dollar, and the long-term consequences of financialization on wealth inequality and economic stability. In this episode of Little by Little: - The “Six Trials by Fire” facing America - Why 1971 changed the global monetary system - $40 trillion debt and risks to the dollar - CBDCs and digital financial control - Constitutional gold and transactional sound money - Wealth inequality and monetary policy consequences - Why Freeman believes the crisis is unfolding now Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman  Follow Kevin Freeman on X: https://x.com/KevinDFreemanX 👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay Informed Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
