Tom Bodrovics normally your host instead joins Gabriel Custodiet to discuss a range of topics from precious metals investing to the complexities of welding and self-sufficiency. Tom is known for his podcast “Palisades Gold Radio,” which focuses on contrarian investing, economics, and the monetary system, particularly from an Austrian or libertarian perspective. The show has garnered over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, despite algorithmic challenges, and features notable guests like Rick Rule, Doug Casey, and Matthew Pipenburg.

Tom views gold not just as a financial asset but as a tangible form of insurance against economic uncertainties. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the broader economic and geopolitical contexts that influence gold’s value. He also discusses the concept of “contrarian investing,” which involves looking beyond mainstream investment trends and considering assets like precious metals and uranium. Tom highlights the long-term benefits of investing in precious metals, especially in light of central banks’ monetary policies and the potential for future economic instability.

The conversation shifts into the moral and societal impacts of modern monetary theory, which Bodrovics sees as a double-edged sword. While it has pulled many out of poverty, it also erodes the value of hard work and capital.

Tom shares his personal journey from welding to podcasting, emphasizing the importance of passion, resilience, and continuous learning. He also discusses his self-sufficient trailer setup, which allows him to live off the grid and travel freely. He offers insights into vetting banks and understanding their financial health, advocating for personal responsibility in managing one’s wealth. Tom concludes by recommending several books, including “The Art of Thinking Clearly” by Rolf Dobelli and “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand, which he believes are crucial for developing a robust mindset and understanding the complexities of economics and finance.
