Rich Dad Radio Show: In-your-face Advice On Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting A Business

When the poor need money, they sell. When the rich need money, they do something completely different. Here's what YOU were never taught. Most people were trained to liquidate. Need cash? Sell the gold. Sell the stock. Sell the property. Robert Kiyosaki explains why that one habit costs you twice: you lose the asset's protection, and you may hand the government a piece of the gain. Then he shows why the rich borrow instead, why a loan is not taxable income, and the rules that separate the investor who keeps his assets from the one who loses them anyway. In This Episode: ● Why selling your gold or stocks for cash can cost you twice ● How the rich borrow against their assets instead of selling them ● Why borrowed money is not taxed as income ● How a cash-out refinance lets you keep a rental property and get your money back ● Why a home equity loan (HELOC) is not the same as borrowing against a rental ● What a margin call is, and how lenders decide when to send one ● The 25% loan-to-value rule for borrowing aga

How do the rich find investment opportunities that most people overlook? According to Robert Kiyosaki, the difference isn't luck. It's financial education, understanding cash flow, knowing how to evaluate risk, and surrounding yourself with people who recognize opportunities others don't. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki welcome stock market expert Andy Tanner and resource investor Marin Katusa to explore how experienced investors identify opportunities in real estate, stocks, natural resources, and emerging investment markets. While most people focus on market headlines, stock prices, and conventional financial advice, the Rich Dad approach asks a different set of questions: Where is the value? How does the asset generate cash flow? What are the risks? And what does the average investor fail to understand? Andy Tanner explains why he evaluates stocks the same way a business owner evaluates a company. Rather than buying a stock simply because its price might rise, A

As markets plunged, Robert Kiyosaki and Kim were closing on a 300-unit apartment building in Tulsa for $17 million—while TV experts urged viewers to stay the course. In this episode, Kiyosaki uses that contrast to lay out five money moves: rethink the security of jobs and savings, turn paychecks into assets, distinguish borrowing for cash-flowing investments from borrowing for consumption, and question advice from people paid to sell financial products. He also tells the story of how a private-investment deal opened his eyes to who gets access to what he calls the "best investments." The episode challenges familiar ideas about financial safety—and makes a clear case for why its advice may not suit everyone.

Understanding financial education vs financial advice starts with one critical distinction: advice tells you what someone else thinks you should do, while education helps you develop the knowledge to make your own decisions. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki sit down with Rich Dad advisor Andy Tanner and former Wall Street executive and author Nomi Prins to examine what investors need to understand about markets, central banks, risk, and their own financial future. Nomi explains how central bank policies have shaped financial markets and why she believes the actions of the Federal Reserve and other central banks have created a growing disconnect between Wall Street and the real economy. Andy brings that discussion directly to investors. When markets rise for years, it's easy to believe that buying, holding, and waiting will always work. But Andy argues that financially educated investors don't simply prepare for markets to go up. They learn how markets work, understa

In 1971, an ounce of gold cost $35; in this episode, Rich Bontrager and Priority Gold's Michael Klaus compare that with a price of roughly $4,100 and examine what the shift says about the dollar's buying power. They discuss why central banks are adding gold, silver's industrial demand—from solar panels to computer chips—and claims of a multiyear silver supply deficit. Klaus also explains how a precious-metals IRA rollover works and what investors should consider before moving retirement funds. A pointed conversation about the case for hard assets—and the numbers and forecasts behind it. Nobody is coming to save your retirement. Rich Dad's Robert Kiyosaki has been saying the same thing for 30 years. Get out of paper. Get into real assets. Stop trusting a system that was never built to make you wealthy. Most people agree. Very few know what to do about it. That's why Priority Gold is offering U.S. residents a FREE Rich Dad Kit with 3 guides to help you understand your options to shield your wealth and retiremen

Robert Kiyosaki says his 58-foot sailboat and private jet earn their keep by being rented out—and uses them to explain his provocative claim that more debt can help you escape debt. In this episode, he contrasts loans paid from your own paycheck with borrowing to buy assets whose customers generate the cash to repay them. He also walks through a stock-options example, describes how crypto lending and staking can produce yield, and warns that leverage can wipe you out just as quickly as it can build wealth. His bottom line: learn first, start small, and know exactly who's paying.

Real estate investing during uncertain markets requires investors to understand more than property prices. Market selection, debt, taxes, cash flow, economic trends, and the people on your team can all affect whether an opportunity makes financial sense. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki join tax strategist Tom Wheelwright and real estate investor Jason Hartman to discuss how financially educated investors approach real estate when markets are changing. Robert challenges the conventional reaction to uncertainty: waiting on the sidelines until everything feels safe. He argues that changing markets can create opportunities, but only for investors who understand what they are buying, why they are buying it, and the risks involved. Jason explains what he looks for in real estate markets, including cash-flow potential, affordability, business and landlord environments, demographics, and economic growth. He also discusses diversification across markets and why investors sh

There's a sequence that shows you exactly where wealth moves next — and it starts with a coin the government quietly changed in 1965. Most people never noticed. Robert Kiyosaki breaks down what that coin proves, the 1971 collapse that followed, and the sequence he's used for decades to spot wealth before it moves.

Understanding how to legally reduce taxes can change the way you approach investing, business, and wealth building. Robert Kiyosaki and tax expert Tom Wheelwright explain why the tax code doesn't simply collect money—it also contains incentives designed to encourage specific economic activities. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert sits down with his longtime tax advisor, educator, and mentor Tom Wheelwright, CPA, to challenge one of the most common assumptions about taxes: that earning more money automatically means you must pay more in taxes. Tom explains that governments use tax incentives to encourage activities they want to promote, including creating jobs, building businesses, producing energy, investing in housing, and developing other parts of the economy. Investors who understand those incentives can make different financial decisions than employees who primarily earn taxable wages. Robert and Tom use the CASHFLOW Quadrant to explain why employees, self-employed professionals, busine

"A world of too much money." That's the world Rich Dad said you could choose — and the world most people never find, because of a lie almost nobody questions. Robert Kiyosaki breaks down the Facebook post that went viral overnight: "You can choose to live in a world of not enough money or a world of too much money. That choice is up to you." Behind that quote is a lesson from Robert's own second mentor — his "other rich dad" — an architect almost nobody's heard of, who proved with physics, not positive thinking, that scarcity was never a law of nature. It was manufactured. In this episode: why the universe is built for abundance, the real difference between chasing money and chasing a mission, and the century-old system that profits when you believe the lie instead of the proof. That's the lie. And once you see it, you're already standing closer to a world of too much money.

Real estate investing with debt can give investors leverage to acquire larger assets, generate cash flow, and build equity—but Robert Kiyosaki argues that debt only becomes a useful financial tool when you understand how to manage it. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with longtime friend and real estate investor Ken McElroy to challenge conventional thinking about debt and explain how experienced investors use leverage, other people's money (OPM), cash flow, and refinancing to build wealth through real estate. Robert starts with one of Rich Dad's most contrarian ideas: not all debt is bad debt. While getting out of debt can make sense for someone who doesn't understand how to use leverage, Robert and Ken explain why sophisticated investors may deliberately use debt to acquire income-producing assets. That distinction becomes especially important as higher interest rates, maturing loans, and falling property values put pressure on parts of the real estate market. Ken ex

Most people think their 401(k), mutual fund, bond, or annuity is protecting their retirement. Robert Kiyosaki breaks down why these four "safe" products are actually four different versions of the same promise — and what happens when you find out a promise isn't a possession. In this episode: the hidden tax flaw that can charge you on money you never made... why "diversified" often means "de-worsified"... the real difference between good debt and bad debt... and why real assets — not paper — are the only things that have ever actually protected anyone's retirement. This is how you get out.

Why buy gold and silver when investors have stocks, bonds, real estate, and other places to put their money? In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki sit down with legendary natural-resource investor Rick Rule to examine the case for owning precious metals—and why protecting purchasing power has become increasingly important for investors. Rick argues that the case for gold and silver isn't built on fear or speculation. It's built on arithmetic. He identifies five forces behind his outlook for precious metals: monetary expansion, growing government debt and deficits, negative real interest rates, historically low allocations to precious metals, and the possibility that major institutional investors could shift capital away from traditional debt instruments. At the center of the discussion is a simple problem: purchasing power. When inflation rises faster than the return on savings and fixed-income investments, investors can earn interest while still becoming poorer in

Robert Kiyosaki lost nearly $1,000,000 in one phone call — and it taught him how the rich actually MANUFACTURE luck instead of waiting for it. In this episode, Robert breaks down why "bad luck" is the wrong word for most financial disasters, why two lottery winners ended up broke and even in jail, and the one mental shift — L.U.C.K. — that separates people who build wealth from people who wait for it. If you've ever felt like luck happens to other people, this episode shows YOU how to build it yourself.

Real estate investing mistakes can turn an opportunity to build wealth into an expensive financial lesson—especially when investors enter the market chasing fast profits without the education or experience to evaluate a deal. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki join longtime real estate investors Robert Helms and Russell Gray to expose the side of real estate investing that get-rich-quick pitches rarely discuss. Real estate can create tremendous cash flow and wealth, but Robert argues that it is also a sophisticated investment that rewards education, experience, patience, and discipline. New investors often make the mistake of starting too big before they've developed the skills to recognize problems, manage properties, evaluate partners, or survive changing market conditions. Russell shares one of the most expensive lessons from his own investing career: believing he was smart enough to figure everything out himself. Over time, he discovered that successful investo

Robert Kiyosaki explains why the same economy can produce record stock highs and record grocery bills at the exact same time — and why that's not a contradiction, it's a design. There aren't two versions of one economy. There are two separate economies, split down the middle, and most people don't even know which one they're standing in. If your entire financial plan is "ask for a raise" or "wait for a promotion," Robert lays out exactly why that plan may never work again — and what to do instead.

Real estate tax benefits aren't loopholes—they're incentives written into the tax law to encourage investors to provide housing and put capital to work. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert and Kim Kiyosaki sit down with tax expert Tom Wheelwright and real estate investor Ken McElroy to explain how sophisticated investors combine real estate, debt, depreciation, cash flow, and professional advice to legally reduce their tax burden while building wealth. Tom explains one of Rich Dad's foundational tax lessons: instead of viewing the tax code only as a list of penalties, investors can study what activities the government wants to encourage. Housing and commercial real estate are among those activities, and tax provisions such as depreciation can reward investors who put their money—and borrowed money—to work. Ken then explains why debt plays such an important role in their real estate strategy. Rather than paying entirely with their own cash, experienced investors can use financing to control l

Robert Kiyosaki says there are only four things on Earth worth putting your money into — and everything else, every mutual fund, every 401(k) you're afraid to open, is just one of those four wearing a different name. In this episode, Robert breaks down all four asset classes and reveals which one Wall Street has spent a century pushing hardest on people like you — and why it's almost never the one that makes anyone rich.

The Iran war and oil prices are closely connected because conflict around the Strait of Hormuz can disrupt one of the world's most important energy corridors—and the consequences can spread throughout the global economy. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor to examine the conflict involving Iran from both a geopolitical and investor perspective. Drawing on their military backgrounds, Robert and Macgregor challenge the conventional narrative surrounding war, energy, and America's strategic interests. Robert argues that understanding oil means understanding much more than the price at the pump. Petroleum touches transportation, agriculture, fertilizer, plastics, manufacturing, and countless products throughout the economy. Macgregor expands that argument by explaining why strategic resources have shaped military and geopolitical decisions for generations. The conversation examines the Strait of Hormuz and why military conflict can

So much of what we were taught to be right YOU... is wrong. Completely wrong. You know savers are losers. But do you know what the rich actually do and, more importantly, why? They buy. Buy more. Keep buying. Today Robert shows us exactly why - and how we can do it in the way that actually builds wealth. Not the way that looks good on paper. The way that sets YOU free.
