Mechanics of Private Credit Funds

Private credit is becoming a major force in global finance—and a growing risk to the economy. In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with macro investor George Gammon to break down what private credit is, how it works, and why it could trigger the next financial crisis. Most people don't understand how modern lending works outside the traditional banking system. George explains how "shadow banks" borrow money from institutions and lend it to higher-risk borrowers at elevated interest rates. This system can function temporarily, but it depends on continuous refinancing and rising asset values. When that cycle breaks, the consequences can spread quickly across markets. You'll learn how private credit mirrors the same underlying risks that caused the 2008 financial crisis, why yield curve signals matter, and how rising risk can disrupt the flow of money and credit in the economy. Robert and George also discuss broader macro threats, including rising debt, potential credit events, and the impact of artificial intelligence on employment and market stability. This episode explains why today's financial system relies heavily on confidence, liquidity, and continuous credit expansion—and what happens when those conditions reverse. It also highlights why traditional retirement strategies may be at risk and why financial education is critical in uncertain economic environments. If you want to understand where the global economy may be heading and how to think strategically about risk, assets, and opportunity, this conversation provides a clear and practical perspective. 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Private Credit Warning Signs 04:26 Shadow Banks Explained 06:39 Money Flow Engine Analogy 09:01 Wealth Defense Ad Break 11:01 Private Credit Deep Dive 16:05 Yield Curve And Risk 18:57 Triggers Oil Hormuz AI 20:25 Passive Investing Bubble 24:26 Boomers Pensions And Homelessness 27:47 Rebel Capitalist Live Plug 30:48 War Debt And Real Life Stories 35:27 Final Thoughts Get Educated ----- Get the FREE Rich Dad Kit and learn how to add physical gold or silver to your IRA or 401(k) — tax- and penalty-free — with up to $10,000 in free silver on qualifying purchases: https://ef.prioritygoldpartners-17.com/58GQMR/JTCNH9/?sub2=0506&sub3=YT Call 866-703-9895 or text GUIDE to 24999.
