Wealth Building Blueprint, Released on 4/11/26 (Recorded on 4/8/26)

In this exclusive interview, I sit down with Grant Williams, renowned investor and host of The Grant Williams Podcast, to discuss gold and silver, the recent correction in precious metals, and what it means for investors in today’s volatile macro environment. Grant shares his views on gold and silver, why volatility makes these assets difficult to hold, and what investors often misunderstand about the silver market. We also discuss mining stocks, strong margins, rising energy costs, and where the key opportunities may lie. We cover the broader macro picture, including the U.S. and global economy, stock market risks, oil shock, and whether a global recession could lead to more money printing and higher asset prices. Grant also explains the key differences between 2008 and 2020, along with insights on commodities, the shift to scarcity, and how investors should position their portfolios today.
