What’s really happening with private equity, and why does it matter for your retirement? Josh sits down with bestselling author and financial truth-teller Barry Dyke to unravel the hidden risks behind private equity firms taking over public assets, insurance companies, and even your retirement savings. Barry breaks down how firms like BlackRock are chasing profits through private equity deals, despite suffering massive losses like their $600 million flop with Altrity.
Josh & Barry then get into how this profit-first mentality leaves regular investors exposed to unnecessary risks — and why Barry believes annuities could actually help fix America’s broken retirement system. The two lay out how other countries have built better retirements, why transparency matters more than ever, and why your financial security should never depend on Wall Street’s appetite for risky bets.
