Today’s episode is truly something special. We’re joined by Dr. Daniel Lacalle, a world-renowned economist, bestselling author, and former hedge fund manager with deep experience at top institutions like Citadel and Pimco. Known for his sharp macroeconomic insights, Daniel has spent decades analyzing energy, finance, and the intricate world of asset management. His books, including "Life in the Financial Markets" and "Escape from the Central Bank Trap," have become key resources for investors seeking to understand the forces shaping the global economy.

Daniel brings an incredible depth of knowledge to our conversation, breaking down what’s really happening behind the scenes with central banks, inflation, government debt, and the future of money. He explores why central banks have strayed from their original mission, and what this means for your wealth and investment choices. Daniel explains his unique perspective on why cash and sovereign debt—often perceived as "safe"—are now some of the riskiest assets in today’s environment. He offers clear, practical strategies on how to navigate uncertainty, protect your purchasing power, and invest wisely even as traditional financial assumptions are being upended.

Daniel’s grounded, honest, and pragmatic approach helps cut through fear and confusion, empowering you to make smarter decisions regardless of the economic cycle.
