Listen on

Episode notes

Gary Stevenson is a British economist who made his name as a trader predicting the 2008 financial crash. But instead of staying in the world of high finance, he walked away to expose the deep flaws in the system that keeps wealth in the hands of a few while leaving most people struggling.

In this episode, Jake and Damian sit down with Gary to break down the rising poverty crisis and how the economic system is designed to benefit the wealthy while keeping everyone else stuck. He explains why working harder isn’t the solution and how the financial rules are set up to make it nearly impossible for most people to get ahead.

Gary also dives into the impact of major political shifts, including what Donald Trump’s return to power could mean for everyday people. He shares insights on the economic changes coming in the next 12 months that could directly affect the money in our pockets, and why young people need to rethink how they approach success in today’s economy.

Through his own experiences in banking and his personal battles with mental health, Gary offers a raw and honest look at the cost of understanding the truth.
