Summary

Most people panic when the market crashes. But what if you could actually profit from it?

In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with Alejandro Cardona — an economist-turned-multimillionaire — to break down what real financial education looks like. Spoiler: It’s not what you learn in school. Alejandro shares how reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, playing the CASHFLOW® game thousands of times, and understanding technical trading allowed him to retire in his 30s — while most people are still stuck saving for retirement. They discuss why market crashes are a massive opportunity, not a threat, and how most traditional advice (like “save money” or “get out of debt”) is financially destructive. If you’ve ever wondered how the rich think differently — and how to shift from fear to confidence — this episode is your blueprint.

Gold is up over 24% this year, and Wall Street is still pushing paper ETFs. But those are just IOUs. When the system cracks, paper gold won’t save you. Real gold—the kind you can hold—is the asset smart investors are turning to now.

The FREE Rich Dad Gold Forecast Guide shows how physical gold could keep rising—and how to move part of your IRA or 401(k) into gold tax- and penalty-free (U.S. Residents Only).
