July 19, 2024 Cash is King P2 - What the Fiat!
This week your hosts explore our current monetary system - the fiat system, as best as they can. Together they explore switching from the Gold Standard to the Fiat system, which is now backed by the government instead of a physical product. This episode explores Seigniorage (a way for governments who mint their currency to make an economic profit,) the loss of the Canadian penny, inflation, interest rate, food company profit, currency wars, and so much more!
You’ll want to stay and listen to the end. Money is powerful BECAUSE we give it that power.

July 05, 2024 Cash is King P1 - Gold is Gold
On this episode Jame and Jenna talk about cash! We all try to earn it, we all use it, but do you know its history? The world’s oldest coin dates back to 640 BCE from China, how did we get to where we are today? What does it mean to say “the gold standard?” and when did we move away from our money being backed by gold?

This is the first of a two-part series all around money.
