Dean Anderson / AI-Sell-Off: Should You Exit? Ep 548

History is littered with examples of everyday investors losing money when responding to changing conditions – not necessarily because their concerns were irrational, but because they failed to appreciate just how fast markets can recover. The question is whether switching puts us in a better position for what we need, or simply makes us feel better about what just happened.

Lawrence Lepard / The Debasement Trade Is Not Over. Ep 547

Gold, silver and Bitcoin have had a rough 2026, and some say the bull run's over, or at least on pause. But governments are still buried in debt, the Treasury is buying back its own bonds, the 10-year yield is back above 5%, and inflation isn't going away. Lawrence Lepard , author of The Big Print , joins the show to talk rates, sound money, and central banks. We cover whether higher inflation or a currency reset comes first, what Judy Shelton's Treasury role might signal, gold versus Bitcoin, and how everyday investors can protect their wealth.

Christoph Schumacher / OCR: Can't Touch This. Ep 545

Will raising interest rates make inflation worse? The OCR won’t fix an oil shock. Central banks, including the RBNZ, can create too much currency and crush demand, but they can’t print oil . When energy prices jump and stay high, raising rates mostly hits mortgage holders and businesses who use debt to grow - is it really wise to squeeze the part of the economy responsible for growth? In this conversation I talk with Christoph Schumacher , Professor of Economics and Innovation at Massey University, co-creator of GDPLive, and author of 'Sitting on the shoulders of giants'.

Joel Robinson / Could rising 10-year yields derail your retirement strategy? Ep 544

Yields have already climbed to levels last seen in 2002 but most investors are still banking on the post-Covid inflation being a temporary spike. That was a solid assumption, but at almost a third of the way back to the 1981 highs, could it be time to look at this?

Darcy Ungaro / The Retirement Plan Nobody Talks About Ep 543

I have sat across from hundreds of people with an inheritance coming, and almost always they make one of two mistakes. The less common one is when people take their foot off the gas - The knowledge of money coming justifies no budget, no discipline, no plan. Black holes for intergenerational wealth. The second mistake is worse, and I think it often comes from a decent instinct. People live like the money is never going to come. They play it safe. What if an inheritance didn't work as a safety net, but a permission slip ? Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser). Sign up to the fortnightly newsletter!

Sam Garaway / Against Poverty, For Wealth Ep 542

It's a Holiday! No, wait, it isn't. It's no holiday when you're poor. You can sleep in the garage this summer and you'll be grateful. You're poor, and it sucks. Maybe there's a way out? Christians Against Poverty , or CAP , is an organisation devoted to fighting poverty and helping people break free from a cycle of debt. Sam Garaway talks to me about their collaboration between them and Sorted (The Retirement Commission) to bring to market an app that helps place a fence at the top of the cliff. You should donate to them . Know anyone who could benefit from a free money course with CAP? Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).

Dominic Frisby / Sound Money vs Fiat Delusion Ep 541

Dominic Frisby : comedian, author, and one of the sharpest voices on gold, Bitcoin, and government money. His main argument is that CPI figures have created a mass delusion effect, which hides the fact most Western countries have been in recession for years. Note : Views expressed in this one may trigger Keynesian belief systems and left-wing ideologies. Sorry about that. Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).

Francisco Colombo / How To Seize Control Of The Money, Ep 540

In Argentina, currency collapse forced people to understand money. In New Zealand, we're too comfortable to ask where inflation comes from. In this episode, Francisco Colombo from Bitcoin Journey joins me to unpack how Bitcoin is being used in Queenstown's Bitcoin Basin: not as a speculative bet, but as a real, working alternative to cash. We cover self-custody, why Bitcoin passes (or fails) the classic tests of money, how New Zealand's tax treatment shapes everyday use, and why this is ultimately about self-sovereignty, not "number go up." If you're Bitcoin-curious but haven't done the research yet, come along this week in Auckland to get some free education. Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).

Jarrod Kerr / "It's Too Soon For 2.75%" Ep 539

The Reserve Bank of NZ has hiked the OCR (official cash rate) twice off the lows and says the recovery has “most likely resumed, but remains uneven.” Headline inflation is 4.1% because of fuel, but if you take that out, you’re at 2.9% (inside the target band). I think the question is simple: can the Kiwi economy handle the hikes, or do we get a forced cut and a longer grind? My guest is Jarrod Kerr, chief economist at Kiwibank.
