🚨 Gold is dipping. Silver is dipping. Everyone is panic-selling. And that's EXACTLY when the smart money buys.

In this week's Sound Money episode, Josh & Zack break down why the current gold/silver dip is the biggest buying opportunity of 2026 — and why central banks are ADDING to their positions while retail investors run for the exits.

⚡ Warsh's Fed comments triggered a gold dip (and why that's a gift)
⚡ Why gold/silver moves opposite to stocks — and how to use it
⚡ Dollar-cost averaging: the boring strategy that beats every trader
⚡ Zack's grandpa passed on $900/acre farmland. It's now $10,000/acre.
⚡ The "if you can afford to keep it, it's not too expensive" rule
⚡ Sovereign nations at ALL-TIME HIGH demand while retail panics

Plus in the second half — the #1 reason entrepreneurs FAIL right before they win. Josh breaks down why most business owners quit in the final 10%, and Zack shares the butterfly cocoon principle that changed how they think about "just one more push."

Buzzsprout Description (trimmed)

Gold just overtook US Treasuries as the world's #1 reserve asset for the first time since 1996 — 27% vs 22%, confirmed by the ECB on June 2. And the biggest gold buyer of 2025 wasn't a country. It was Tether. The stablecoin now holds ~148 tons, more than Australia, UAE, Qatar, and South Korea combined.

Josh and Zack break down what nobody in the media is talking about — why the digital dollar is quietly buying physical gold, and what the little guy should do about it. Then: the culmination of 10 weeks of business principles — how to own your freedom without letting success destroy you.

Goldman Sachs just CUT their year-end gold target from $5,400 to $4,900 — and gold paper price dropped $598 in a week. Meanwhile? Central banks bought a record 244 tonnes in Q1. Poland passed a law forcing physical-only storage. China stacked another 10+ tonnes in May.

That's not a sell-off. That's a divergence. And in EP 44, Josh and Zack expose exactly what's happening — paper traders getting margin-called, hedge funds dumping, while the smart money quietly takes physical delivery on sale.

Then we shift gears to Sound Principles: Measure What Matters & Iterate. Why entrepreneurs who marry their first idea die — and the Tesla/Optimus, Seven K Coin Drop, and Sound Money fractional-buying playbook for letting your baby grow up.

Markets, mindset, money. That's Sound Money.

Silver just ripped — and Trump-Xi might be the fuse. In EP 43, Josh and Zack break down the May 2026 summit, the 145%→30% tariff cut that lit silver up, JPMorgan's eye-popping $300 call making the rounds, and why China's AI buildout could turn the structural silver deficit into something nobody's pricing in.

Then we shift gears: Legacy over Quick Wins. Why the trees you plant today matter more than the wins you chase this quarter — castles in Spain, the Salmon River Lodge build, and what Blackie Royalties taught us about playing the long game in oil.

India just hiked its gold import duty from 6% to 15% — a 150% spike that's sending shockwaves through the global precious metals market. Why are governments suddenly so desperate to discourage gold ownership? In this episode, Josh and Zack break down what this really means for fiat currency, your savings, and why gold may have just found its floor.

Josh and Zack unpack the India gold tax move and connect it to the larger fiat currency story playing out across central banks worldwide. They dig into why governments fear gold ownership in the hands of citizens, what the 150% duty hike signals about confidence in paper money, and how this fits the pattern of countries quietly hoarding metal while taxing their own people out of it. The conversation closes with the business principle of the week: create value first — money follows value, not the other way around.

In this episode of the Sound Money, Sound Principles Podcast, Josh Anderson and Zach Davis break down why central banks around the world are continuing to buy massive amounts of gold — including the reported 244 tons purchased in Q1, China’s continued gold accumulation, and Poland’s recent increase in gold reserves.

Josh and Zach discuss why gold is being treated as a non-liability asset, why countries may be losing trust in debt-based financial systems, and what everyday people can learn from how central banks protect their wealth.

The conversation also covers Turkey selling gold into its own private market, the importance of liquidity, why precious metals can act as a safe-haven asset, and why gold and silver may still represent a major opportunity.

In the second half of the episode, Josh and Zach shift into this week’s Sound Money Principle: discipline. They explain why motivation is not enough, why discipline matters in business, how entrepreneurs can build better habits, avoid distractions, schedule their time, and create more freedom through consistent action.

If you care about gold, silver, sound money, business, entrepreneurship, discipline, and building long-term financial strength, this episode is for you.

Gold hit $4,731 — and then did the opposite of what every textbook says it should. As Jerome Powell heads into his FINAL FOMC meeting and Kevin Warsh's odds of becoming the next Fed Chair rocket to 85%, the markets are flashing a warning sign Wall Street is refusing to talk about.

In Episode 39 of the Sound Money, Sound Principles Podcast, Josh Anderson and Zach Davis break down:

Why the DOJ probe into Powell magically disappeared

The $1 TRILLION interest payment crushing the U.S. in 2026

Why $9.2 TRILLION of debt MUST be refinanced — and why the Fed is trapped

The real reason hyperinflation may be closer than 2008 ever was

How gold & silver stackers are positioning to WIN the next decade

Then in the Sound Principles segment: why real entrepreneurs never stand alone — the mentor / advisor / peer / future-self framework that builds legacy businesses.
