The Money Podcast

In this episode, Rob talks about the world of silver investment, including why this ancient form of currency might be the future of money. Rob explores the historical significance of silver, its relationship with inflation, and why billionaires are currently liquidating their assets. With banking crises looming and global economic uncertainty rising, Rob shares insider knowledge about protecting wealth through precious metals, so whether you are interested in investing in silver or just want to learn more about protecting your assets, this is one for you!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Silver was historically the first metal used for coins, and modern inflation originated from people mixing copper with silver to debase its value, showing how inflation is not a natural phenomenon but a form of theft.
• Silver has significant industrial utility with 50% used in manufacturing, particularly in batteries and electronics, making it potentially more valuable than gold as electric vehicles and technology advance.
• During financial crises, precious metals typically surge in value as people lose faith in traditional currency - silver nearly doubled during the 2008 crash while most assets dropped 30%.
• Billionaires like Michael Lewis (The Big Short) and major players like Warren Buffett are currently liquidating assets, potentially signaling an impending global financial crisis.
• Traditional banking operates on a fractional reserve system where banks only hold 10% of deposits, making them vulnerable to bank runs and highlighting the importance of holding physical assets.
• Storage of physical silver can be more secure than keeping money in banks, as banks can freeze accounts and lend out 90% of deposits, while physical silver remains under your direct control.

BEST MOMENTS

"Paper is only worth anything, because it's worth nothing by the way, and even the polymer notes are worth nothing, it's only worth something if we trust it."

"Anyone who really knows money invests a decent amount of their net worth in silver and gold and hopes it never goes up... because the only time that goes up is when the world is in the toilet."

"If you borrow a million pounds from the bank, you have the problem. If you borrow a hundred million pounds from the bank, the bank has the problem."

"Savings are degradings. Because savings go down, inflation is higher than interest historically. Even when interest is high, the banks don't give you it all."

Join Rob as he explores the psychology of designer purchases, from clothes to watches to cars. He talks about the delicate balance between quality investments and wasteful spending and by sharing personal experiences, stories and real world examples, Rob reveals how true wealth often manifests in subtlety.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• High-end brands like Patek Philippe and Hermès create artificial scarcity and complex buying processes to maintain exclusivity and increase demand, requiring significant previous purchases to access their most coveted items. 
• True quality investment pieces often have no visible logos and maintain or increase in value over time, while items covered in obvious branding typically depreciate rapidly. 
• Ferrari maintains brand value through strict control, even banning celebrities like Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian who violate their standards for car modification and resale. 
• Luxury watches like Patek Philippe can serve as both investment vehicles and networking tools, opening doors to valuable business connections. 
• In the luxury car market, value isn't always about the badge - sometimes less prestigious brands offer better performance and value (like Audi RSQ8 vs. Lamborghini Urus). 
• Expensive designer clothes with prominent logos often indicate insecurity rather than wealth, while truly wealthy individuals tend to prefer understated, high-quality pieces.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you want to go broke, buy brands. If you want to get rich, build a brand."

"A Rolex Daytona is a better savings account than a savings account and a better door opener than a crowbar."

"For less than an Urus, I got an RSQ8, which looks better than an Urus and a 992 Turbo S, which is the fastest car out of anything except two, three and five million pound hypercars."

Is university a scam? Rob talks about why he thinks university is at best outdated and at worst a scam in this episode. He shares why many people would be far better off not going to university at all, the alternatives to further education and the potential ulterior motives the government have for wanting as many people as possible to get a degree.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The average student leaves with 45k in debt, to earn 30k when they leave.
• Students are sold a future that isn’t the reality. Most students will leave university with huge debt and in some cases a worse salary than if they hadn’t gone.
• You can’t get the education you need at university about newer technology and online spaces such as AI and content creation.
• There is still a need for universities for more practical courses, such as medicine.
• Going to university is good for the system, it means you are in debt, pay them interest and pay them taxes. You don’t then have the freedom to create your own business.
• Think about the ulterior motive for universities and colleges, especially when you consider education for things like medicine should be free as they serve the public.
• It's not just a cost to students to attend university but frequently their family and parents too.

BEST MOMENTS

 "In creative arts, people earn more than if they didn’t go to uni”

“No ones really done it long enough for the information to trickle down to university, if you do marketing they don’t really touch on social media at all”

“There’s nothing in podcasting at university at all”

“The system wants you for debt, interest and taxes”

“It can take 30 years to repay a student loan”

“Why should we have to get in debt for the rest of our lives to be a doctor?”

 "It benefits them for you to be in more debt"

In this candid and revealing episode, Rob talks about the complex world of relationships as an entrepreneur. From marriage and parenting to business partnerships and employee dynamics, Rob shares his experiences from his 18 years of balancing business success with personal relationships. He discusses the delicate dance between ambition and family life, giving his perspectives on how to maintain healthy relationships whilst being an entrepreneur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

·       The ideal entrepreneurial relationship often thrives when partners have opposing traits but aligned visions. For example in Rob’s case, his ambition and risk-taking are balanced by the Mark’s stability and groundedness.

·       Children of successful entrepreneurs need challenge, not coddling. By teaching them to earn rather than giving handouts it can prevent entitled behaviour and prepares them for the real world.

·       In employee relationships, no one truly works "for you" they work for themselves. Leaders should expect more from employees than they expect from themselves to drive growth.

·       The key to maintaining relationships as an entrepreneur is understanding that you can have anything but not everything - choose partners who appreciate ambition but provide balance.

·       Managing personal relationships with wealth requires thick skin, people will feel entitled to your money and criticise your success, but that's part of the territory.

BEST MOMENTS

 "If you have a hole in your soul, no human alive can make you happy. You can have the best looking, funniest, most supportive, charming partner, they cannot fill a void in your own soul."

"Wisdom is knowing the difference between what you think you want and what is good for you. Usually the things that don't like and trigger you and are painful for you are good for you."

"I don't believe my staff work for me. I believe my staff work for themselves... if they were working for me, they would work and then they'd give me the money."

"Your children will teach you as much as you teach them."

Rob talks about his recent viral LinkedIn post about the seven unconventional habits that contributed to his millions! From afternoon naps to controversial takes on micromanagement, Rob challenges popular business advice with practical, tested strategies. His honest approach tackles everything from coffee consumption to emotional expression in business, offering unique ideas that go against typical LinkedIn ‘guru’ advice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

·       Strategic micromanagement can be a powerful tool when applied correctly - it's not toxic when used to help struggling team members or oversee crucial projects

·       Afternoon power naps (8-20 minutes) can add 3-4 productive hours to your day, especially valuable for early risers!

·       Voice memos combined with AI transcription can dramatically increase productivity by capturing ideas in real time and maintaining your authentic voice

·       Walking instead of running provides better longevity benefits while allowing for multitasking through voice memos and calls

·       Quality over quantity in clothing choices reduces decision fatigue and increases confidence, focusing on high-quality pieces rather than designer labels

·       Controlled emotional expression, particularly showing when you're genuinely upset about important matters, can earn respect and maintain authenticity

BEST MOMENTS

"I don't micromanage anyone who's good. But I micromanage the fuck out of people who are apathetic, disengaged, failing, or trying but failing."

"If you've got the choice between pissing someone else off or pissing yourself off, you should choose them every time."

"I want to live till I'm a hundred and five and die making love to a 25-year-old nurse... my wife is straight up said I'm not wiping your arse and I'm not looking after you when you get old."

"One of the ways I got broke was buying things I couldn't afford to impress people I didn't even know."

Rob talks to Kane about the biggest money mistakes people make in this episode, exploring everything from silver investments to the hidden scams of the banking system. Rob and Kane also discuss controversial topics like university education, inflation, and the real value of entrepreneurship as well as how anyone can build wealth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

·       Inflation is actually a controlled mechanism that makes banks richer while devaluing people's savings. Understanding this can help you use it to your advantage through strategic debt and asset ownership

·       Being an entrepreneur isn't for everyone, success might come easier by working for the right company first, learning and then pitching them a partnership

·       The biggest legal money scam is the banking system's ability to print money at will, creating inflation that devalues currency while raising asset prices

·       When entering business partnerships, watch how potential partners handle stress and talk about previous relationships - it's likely how they'll treat you in the future

·       Real wealth comes from buying proven asset classes (like gold, silver, real estate) during dips, and using pound/dollar cost averaging rather than timing the market

·       The university system creates debt-trapped graduates while providing questionable value. It’s worth considering alternative paths to success that don't start with massive debt!

BEST MOMENTS

"If you borrow a million pounds from the bank, you have the problem. If you borrow a hundred million pounds from the bank, they have the problem."

"The biggest scams are hidden in plain sight... Most working or middle class families are indoctrinated with the desire that success for their children is sending them to college."

"Stop bitching about how some asylum seeker immigrant or AI will steal your job. And just get good at your fucking job."

"Whatever makes the bank rich, I want to figure out why I don't want to do the same because the banks have been doing it for thousands of years and they're fucking good at it."

Rob shares the things that you buy that actually end up saving or making money in the long run. From hiring private drivers to strategic watch collecting, Rob shares insider knowledge on how spending money wisely can create more wealth. He challenges conventional thinking about luxury purchases, explaining how items like supercars can be smart business tools when structured correctly!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How much is your time worth? Hiring a driver can be more cost effective than driving yourself, as it allows for productive work time during travel. For high-earners, the opportunity cost of driving themselves can far exceed the driver's fee!
• Watch collecting, particularly with brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe, can beat inflation as well as open doors to valuable business connections and networking opportunities.
• Luxury cars, when purchased through the right company structure (LLP), can offer significant tax advantages and serve as powerful marketing tools that attract clients and enhance brand value.
• Investing in domestic help (cook, cleaner, housekeeper) can significantly boost productivity with the time saved being redirected to income generating activities.
• High quality, low volume clothing purchases are better investments than frequent cheap purchases, as they last longer and make you look better too.
• When planning inheritance, matching children's earned income and teaching them business principles is more valuable than simply leaving them wealth.

BEST MOMENTS

"It is a far better use of 10 grand to have it in a Rolex than to have it in a savings account. Because in a savings account, that will go down in value every year and be used by the banks and the government at your risk."

"A good hour of work for me is about five grand... and a driver costs me, I don't know, a couple of 300 pounds per hour or per journey sometimes, depends on the car that you get."

"Anyone who buys their kids designer clothes is showing off or showing their own insecurities through their kids. So I think it's an absolute waste of money and it's grotesque."

"I personally believe that the greatest gift you can give your children is education. As opposed to a thousand properties to manage or a billion dollar company."

Rob shares 15 money misconceptions that could be holding you back from financial freedom. From debunking myths about savings accounts to revealing shocking truths about government currency manipulation, Rob shares insider knowledge gained from his own journey to building a £250 million company. Rob covers everything from silver investments to the truth about banks, with practical advice on protecting and growing your wealth in today's struggling economy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The banking system isn't designed to protect your wealth - banks pay 1.5% interest while lending at 8-10%, making savings accounts essentially "degrading accounts" that lose value over time
• Inflation isn't naturally occurring but a government strategy to reduce debt value - when governments print money, they're effectively stealing purchasing power from existing currency holders
• Hard work alone doesn't create wealth - success comes from combining opportunity with effort, explaining why a waiter working as hard as Elon Musk won't achieve the same results
• The LMD (Leverage, Manage, Do) time management system - start your day by delegating tasks to others, then manage those tasks, and only then focus on what you must do yourself
• True wealth comes from increasing the gap between income and expenses - focus on reducing expenses before increasing income to avoid lifestyle creep
• Asset ownership is key to beating inflation - physical assets like silver and property increase in value with inflation while debt becomes relatively cheaper, creating a double win for investors

BEST MOMENTS

"Money absolutely does make you happy. No rich person ever said money doesn't make me happy, take all my money away."

"People work really hard in the gold mines, but it's the people who own the gold mines that make all the money."

"The bank is not a public service. The bank does not care about you. The bank does not save your money. It invests your money."

"Why would someone spend a thousand quid on a TV that will be worth 150 quid in three years, but they wouldn't invest a thousand pounds into their health, wellbeing or their knowledge?"

Rob passionately exposes the hidden world of taxation, revealing how we are all paying in at least 75 different ways! From VAT to "stealth taxes" on sugar, Rob breaks down why the current system is broken and proposes controversial solutions, including why you shouldn't take a salary. This episode gives useful advice on how entrepreneurs can navigate the tax system, maximise their earnings, and why flat-rate taxation could revolutionise the UK economy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A flat rate tax of 20% across all income levels could attract more investment, encourage entrepreneurship, and generate more revenue than the current progressive system by bringing billionaires back to the UK.
• The current tax system penalises success through progressive taxation, with some brackets reaching 60% tax rates between £100,000-£125,000, effectively discouraging economic growth and overseas investment.
• Business owners should consider replacing traditional salaries with performance based commission structures to increase motivation, accountability, and potential earnings while reducing tax burden.
• Most employees are experiencing "Salary Stockholm Syndrome," becoming dependent on the perceived security of a regular salary while actually limiting their earning potential and paying the highest tax rates.
• Entrepreneurs can significantly reduce their tax burden by running expenses through their business, including hardware, travel, and vehicles, paying tax on what's left rather than the gross amount.
• Government inefficiency and complex tax codes are causing massive waste. Simplifying the system and reducing civil service bloat could improve economic outcomes.

BEST MOMENTS

"When you take a pound or dollar you might be left with 20 pence or cents. When you save a pound or dollar, you save the whole pound. So when you save tax, you save the whole pound."  

"If you borrow a million pounds from the bank, you have the problem. If you borrow a hundred million pounds from the bank, they have the problem."  

"Small businesses account for 55 percent of all the economy. That's just small businesses and small businesses are the ones getting hurt the most."

"Financial Stockholm syndrome is when you develop an addiction and a relationship with your salary, but your salary is keeping you broke."

Rob speaks to Kane about one of his greatest moves as an entrepreneur. He shares how he bought Think Big Education, an Australian education company, for just 5k and rebranded it to Progressive Success, transforming it into a multi-million-pound business. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rob was actually working for someone else at the time and took a game-changing speaking course in Australia, Think Big Education. After his success after attending the course he began speaking for them and created a network.
• During the 2008 recession, he then heard from his network that the company was struggling, he found a way to buy it.
• Rob can make £2-£5 per person from an email database and at least £1-£2 per person on social media, even though data and reach are so much harder now!
• Buying his horrible ex-boss’ furniture after his company went bust is one of Rob’s career highlights!

BEST MOMENTS

"I paid 5 grand for this company”

“In ’08 5k is what 10k is now”

“If I couldn’t make £5 per person from an email database I’d need shooting in the face”
