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?"

The Money Podcast

Top 15 Money Misconceptions: The Truth Banks Don't Want You to Know

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."

Why Investing in Silver Could Protect Your Wealth

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."

Are Designer Clothes a Waste of Money?

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"
