In this episode, we are joined by legendary commodity investor Rick Rule, CEO & Founder of Rule Investment Media. Rick walks us through his journey into finance, what life was like growing up, and where he derived his ambition to be successful. Rick shares with us several investment lessons he's learned along the way, including what it was like to make a lot of money at a young age only to lose it all and start from scratch.

We explore Rick's commodity bull thesis and which sectors he is most bullish on including uranium, oil & gas, water, and precious metals. We even learn what Rick thinks of Bitcoin and why philosophically he is rooting for its success.

Finally, we discuss what the biggest risks are to Rick’s commodity bull market thesis and how he is protecting himself should it occur.
