I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow mob.

Welcome to slow mob. Welcome back. My guest today on this third episode of the miniseries, it's not what they told you is definitely one of the thinkers authors and commentators that have really enlightened me about some of the realities of today's economy.

John Rubino is financial analyst by training.

He is, as I said, an author and a commentator known for his criticism or critique of global economics

and specifically in relationship to debt.

Don is a he started his career as a Wall Street financial analyst and he became an author or a co author of five books.

Two of my favorites are the money bubble and the collapse of the dollar.

He founded dollar collapse.com in 2004 and sold it in 2022 and he now has the John Rubin's sub stack where he shares a lot of his thoughts about the

economy. John is not shy to be brutally honest about what's happening. So I have to say that today's

conversation is going to be a little bit shocking for some of you in terms of

the reality of how fragile the economic realities that we've created over the last 50 years

have become. And so I have to say for the faint-hearted, I have to give a bit of warning, you know, this is 18 plus, this is going to scare you.

And I don't mean to scare you and I don't want to scare you.

But I really have to say that a lot of people have to wake up to the financial

realities of what we're about to start embarking upon, especially in the U.S. and slightly also in other Western countries.

So please accept my apology for scaring you a little bit,

as I speak to one of my favorite teachers about the economy that we are about to experience

John Vorina.

John, thank you so much for being here today. Really, really wonderful to have you, lots to talk about today.
