    Gavin McCracken (Pt. 2): Robotics, AI, and A Commodities Supercycle

    We are back with another interview with Gavin McCracken. This time, we spend most of the podcast chatting robotics, AI, and why those two themes could kickstart the next commodities supercycle. I really enjoyed Gavin's take on AI and robotics, mainly because it aligns with my initial hypotheses. But it's always good to bounce ideas off a AI PhD. Remember, NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. THIS IS TWO DUDES CHATTING MARKETS FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK THIS IS ADVICE. I hope you guys enjoy!

    [REPLAY] Gavin McCracken: A Journey To 2,000x Returns

    This was easily my favorite podcast of the year. Granted, we're only in April. So it's exciting, but a high bar for future guests. Gavin is a one-of-one thinker and investor. He generated a 2,000x return in his account from buying basically two stocks: Valeura Energy (VLE) and Andean Precious Metals (APM). You will love his story on how he found, bought, and held along the way to 2,000x performance. We also talked about process, due diligence, finding an edge, investing psychology, and AI (you'll be surprised on his AI take). I know this is a 2HR conversation, but it is worth every second because Gavin is an independent thinker and worth your time. NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. PURELY ENTERTAINMENT/EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU TAKE ANY OF THIS AS ADVICE.

    Seedy19: A 35x Return From Biotech Investing

    I hope you guys enjoy my podcast with @Seedy19 (from X). Seedy is a full-time biotech investor. He generated a 35x on his entire portfolio last year. Not just one stock, his entire portfolio. The crazy part? He did it buying mostly common stocks. Biotech stocks, of course. But common stocks nonetheless! We spend an hour diving into Seedy's process, how he identifies new ideas, researches positions, weighs probabilities, and separates the real companies from the shams. I loved recording this episode. PLEASE NOTE NONE OF THIS IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. IT IS PURELY EDUCATIONAL/ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. DO NOT TRADE ANY OF THESE SECURITIES WITHOUT CONSULTING A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL. YOU ARE AN IDIOT FOR TRYING TO TRADE BIOTECH.

    [REPLAY] Oliver Friesen: All Things Tungsten

    In this episode, Oliver Friesen—CEO of Guardian Metal Resources—joins for a deep dive into tungsten’s resurgence and why this little-known metal is at the center of U.S. national security, supply chains, and industrial resilience. We unpack tungsten’s unique properties—highest melting point of any metal, extreme density, and hardness—and why it’s indispensable in defense applications from armor‑piercing munitions to high‑temperature aerospace systems. Oliver discusses Guardian’s Nevada‑focused strategy, including its flagship Pilot Mountain project, believed to be the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on American soil, and how the company is positioning to help re‑shore U.S. supply chains. We also explore the shifting policy landscape—China’s dominance over global tungsten supply, looming U.S. procurement bans on adversarial sources by 2027, and new federal initiatives—highlighted by a recent $6.2M U.S. Department of Defense award aimed at sustaining critical domestic tungsten production. Oliver shares how Guardian is building strategic relationships and accelerating project development to meet defense and industrial demand, while balancing responsible development and investor alignment. Disclosure: I still own shares in $GMET. Yes they have done well. No, none of this is investment advice. This is mining you will probably lose all your money. This is entertainment.

    Brian Leeners is the CEO/founder of Homerun Resources (HMR.V), a Brazilian-based silica company dedicated to bringing high-quality silica to market to help advance the solar, renewables, and AI growth initiatives. We spent the podcast discussing the solar value chain, silica's role within that chain, what makes silica different, the supply/demand dynamics of the market, and what separates Homerun Resources' asset from its peers. I learned a ton about silica and found a new interesting idea in the process. I hope you enjoy! PLEASE NOTE THAT NOTHING IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. DO YOUR OWN WORK. NOTHING IS ADVICE ON THIS PODCAST.

    [REPLAY] Jason Jessup (Pt. 2): Thinking Bigger Than FNX Mining

    The last time I had CEO of Magna Mining Jason Jessup on the podcast his goal was to create the next FNX Mining. That would be a great outcome for everyone as FNX went from $0.25 to $35 at its peak. But here we are a year later, and Jason is thinking bigger. FNX is no longer the goal. Think closer to Teck Resources ... or even bigger. Jason explains his plans for NICU over the next 2-3 years, his goals for the company, and how they can grow into a multi-billion dollar Sudbury mining company. WARNING: NICU IS MY LARGEST POSITION. NOTHING IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. DYODD. DON'T TRADE BASED OFF THIS PODCAST. IF YOU DO YOU ARE AN IDIOT. I hope you enjoy our conversation!
