Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a Business

One might think that growing up with the last name Trump means you've been handed everything your whole life or things have been easy for you, but that couldn't be further from the truth.  Eric Trump joins the Rich Dad Radio show to discuss what life is like as the son of the 45th President of the United States and how his parents raised him and his siblings to work hard and understand the value o...

There are many reasons why public employee pension funds have grown so fast and one of them are promises. Governors and legislatures made pension promises to public employees but the problem was and still is that these governors and legislatures did not fund the pensions to match their promises. As a solution to the problem, in the 1980s, Wall Street began selling pension boards high risk "credit...

True success does not come from money and opportunity but what you do with them. Robert and Kim Kiyosaki have talked for many years that one of the best reasons to become financially free is so that you can give.  Giving is important because they believe none of us become successful on our own. Today's guest, Devon Kennard, knows this better than anyone.  On the field, Devon was drafted by the New...

The most alarming interview you'll listen to in 2020! Would you ever imagine that the American people are funding the cannibalism of our own industries? Thanks to something called dollar swap lines—which grants unlimited lines of credit to 15 central banks around the world—this is exactly what's happening in the shadow banking system.  In this episode, you'll learn: What are dollar swap lines, and...

Gold became money as determined by the free market because of its properties—scarcity. But with the invention of Bitcoin, we are now seeing a historical event that will never be repeated. What makes Bitcoin so special is that prior to Bitcoin there was no other form of money with its absolute limited supply. Bitcoin's characteristics make it a direct competitor to the central banks because of its...

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are now challenging the hegemony of the U.S. dollar and other fiat currencies. In May 2020, a historic event cut the daily incoming supply of Bitcoin from 1800 Bitcoin per day to 900 Bitcoin per day—a sort of quantitative hardening—opposite of what the Fed is doing by printing trillions of dollars. Central banks, in simplest terms, create money out of nothing. Th...

In 1997, the book Rich Dad Poor Dad was self-published because every publisher Robert and Kim offered it to turned it down. Most publishers sent rejection letters stating, "We are not interested in your book at this time." A few more honest publishers thought Robert's ideas were ridiculous. As a result, Robert and Kim turned to self-publishing. Three years later, Rich Dad Poor Dad made the New York...

When the coronavirus pandemic struck in the United States, the FDA was forced to closely monitor the medical product supply chain, including disruptions to supply or shortages of critical medical products in the U.S. because many of the components for those in-demand products are manufactured in China.  In a statement in February 2020, the FDA said, "Since January 24, the FDA has been in touch wit...

Most people are trained to avoid mistakes. Rather, they always play it safe. Robert Kiyosaki's rich dad said, "Some of the biggest failures I know are people who have never failed." His point was that because people try to play it safe, they never take any risks. And because they never take any risks, they never get ahead in life.  That is certainly not the case for today's guest, the CEO, and Co-...

Online crime often succeeds because of failure across a variety of systems and as technology changes, cybersecurity becomes increasingly more difficult to maintain. Those that are committing online crime usually operate open source and somewhat freely exchange information. The result is a criminal community that is more educated and much quicker than the "good guys."  Today's guest, Brett Johnson,...

As the global financial crisis spreads and the Fed prints more and more money to try to save the U.S. economy, the average person is wondering how can they avoid being caught in the next crash. First, you must understand that the mess the U.S. is in has been happening since 2008. Mortgage-backed securities were the pin that popped the bubble in 2008, and the pin today is the coronavirus—not the ca...

The Fed has been printing trillions of dollars, and the amount of debt that has been added is insurmountable. America was already the largest debtor nation in the history of the world and in the last month they have added staggering amounts of debt and they continue to add more and they're printing more money.  Why? Today's guest, one of the world's most successful international investors, Jim Rog...

The Federal Reserve, the United States central bank, has "printed" more than $2 trillion since the global economic crisis began, and when the Fed prints money it makes the price of assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin go up. As Robert Kiyosaki says, central banks are run by the "controlling elite." These elites do not like gold because central banks cannot print gold. Equally, central banks do no...

Central banks have created a "milkshake" of different currencies and pushed liquidity into the global economy. As of 2016, the US started raising rates while the rest of the world was "mixing" the milkshake. As a result, raising rates acts as a straw that sucks the capital into the United States.  So what is the outlook in the post-coronavirus economy? Brent Johnson, CEO of Santiago Capital, expla...

"Investing is a plan." In order for Robert and Kim Kiyosaki to retire young, they had to have a plan, a plan that started with nothing because they had nothing. The plan had an exit, and it also had a time limit. For many, however, the current financial crisis has disrupted the plans of millions of people to retire in the near future.  For the majority of baby boomers they've prepared for retireme...

Do You Have the DNA of a Wartime Leader? A peacetime leader takes the safe route. They follow the rules of: go to school, get a good job. They are worried about being perfect, but accept the bad. And make committee-based decisions. You might even be one. In contrast, wartime leaders bring peace of mind through strength and a sense of security. They are quick to make decisions and can lead during t...

The Government is managing the economy through government debt and the Fed printing money. There's no better example of why they do this than when the Fed announced it would create limitless amounts of money in March 2020. Had the Government not printed money, the U.S. would have certainly fallen into a depression. The question you should be asking is, "How long can this go on before we spiral int...

In today's new world, there are only two options: increase your financial education and learn to create your own wealth, or become poorer and poorer and rely on the government and the rich to take care of you. We have now experienced a major turning point in the history of mankind. The days of going to school, getting a safe secure job, and investing for the long-term are long gone. We are in a ne...

Many public or government pensions—including some of the largest—are not audited annually by independent certified public accountants. In fact, about 60 percent of all corporate pensions in the United States are not audited. Let's call it another example of the "gross malpractice generally practiced" that pervades pension management. Pensions don't just implode overnight. There are always warning...

Throughout history, "money" has been many different things. Money has taken the form of seashells, colored beads, feathers, live animals, and large stones. Today, there are three types of modern money. Robert Kiyosaki says they are: 1. God's money: Gold and silver 2. Government's money: Dollars, Euros, pesos, etc. 3. People's money: Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. Most are taught that saving money is smar...

States with the worst pension fund shortfalls include Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, and New Jersey which have less than half of the assets needed to pay promised benefits and another 17 states have less than two-thirds. The extent to which public pensions are underfunded has been obscured by governmental accounting rules, which allow pensions to eliminate their underfunding, no matter...

Everyone is worried about getting sick, but what about focusing on staying healthy? It seems that during times of panic and quarantine people forget to take care of themselves as they would do when life was "normal". Maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle will give anyone an advantage during a pandemic.  Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki are joined by two of their own doctors, Dr. Nicole Srednic...

As if the coronavirus hasn't caused enough damage, it also has investors feeling like they've been punched in the gut financially. Falling stock prices and interest rates have created a problem for both DB and DC pensions plans. The unfortunate thing about the coronavirus hitting at a time when most pensions are already underfunded, it almost certainly, will likely lead to more pension cuts as tro...

Have you wondered why your property taxes are at record highs, water and sewage charges continue to grow, and local governments never seem to run out of ways to nickel and dime their constituents with fee after fee? Yet, the quality of services we depend on continue to decline. You might not think this pension crisis affects you, but as a taxpayer, you'll be shocked to find out exactly where your...

The rules are changing quickly for entrepreneurs since confirmed coronavirus cases continue to exponentially grow around the world. As a result, the U.S. Federal Government sprung into action to try to alleviate further damage and destruction to the economy.  Last week, President Donald Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act into law, which initiated a $2...
