What if the biggest financial protection strategy isn’t found on Wall Street—but in something that has held value for thousands of years?

In this episode of Garage Talk with Bill Haase, Bill sits down with Tom Lundell, financial educator and leader with Sound Money, for a powerful conversation about wealth preservation, inflation protection, and why more people are turning back to physical gold and silver.

Tom brings decades of financial insight as he breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in modern finance:

Currency is not the same as money.

Together, Bill and Tom explore the history, performance, and practical benefits of owning Gold and Silver—assets that have maintained purchasing power through wars, recessions, inflation, and market crashes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

💰 Why gold and silver have remained valuable for thousands of years 📈 How precious metals have performed compared to the stock market over the last 30 years 🏦 The difference between real money and debt-based currency 🛡️ How gold and silver can help protect your purchasing power during inflation 📦 The practical side of ownership, storage, liquidity, and selling when needed 📊 Why diversification matters more than ever in today’s economy ⚠️ The risks of relying solely on stocks, bonds, and paper assets

Tom also shares real-world examples—from the Dot-com Bubble to major market downturns—to show why so many investors are rethinking where they store wealth.

Bill adds his own experiences navigating market crashes and economic uncertainty, making this a practical and eye-opening conversation for anyone concerned about inflation, retirement, or long-term financial stability.
