In this episode of The Rodney Bull Show, Rodney breaks down the true nature of money and why most people misunderstand it. Money isn’t just paper or numbers on a screen, it represents stored human effort, time, skills, and energy. Rodney explains how money evolved from barter to gold and silver, why precious metals became trusted stores of value, and how inflation quietly erodes purchasing power when currency no longer holds real backing.

He also unpacks the shift from metal-backed money to fiat currency, how banks expand money supply beyond reserves, and why inflation acts like a hidden tax on your lifetime work. This foundational episode sets the stage for deeper conversations on debt cycles, banking systems, and wealth protection, because if you don’t understand money, you can’t protect it.

In this episode of The Rodney Bull Show, Rodney sits down with financial educator and wealth mentor May Rose O’Connell to challenge common money myths and scarcity mindsets. May explains how fear-based beliefs and a lack of financial education keep people stuck, sharing lessons from her own journey and emphasizing that investing in personal financial knowledge is essential to achieving true financial freedom before crisis strikes.

They also explore the flaws of fiat currency, the long-term value of tangible assets like gold and real estate, and how the modern debt system traps people in trading time for money. The conversation highlights the importance of personalized financial strategies—especially for women—along with community, networking, and financial awareness as keys to building security, longevity, and lasting generational change.

Key Discussion Points:

Freedom: The initial discussion focuses on freedom. Pierre Walter says his definition of freedom has changed "big time". Growing up, he was led to believe freedom was a big pool of financial security at the end of a rainbow. Today, for him, freedom is "being able to operate in your in life at your own frequency," which is your model of the world and what you want to experience. Financial freedom is important so one can pursue other freedoms.

Identifying Misalignment: When asked how someone can identify living out of alignment, Pierre Walter refers to experiencing "roadblocks" and combinations of things that "just start happen[ing] out of the blue". If there is "too much coincidence" over time, it suggests being "not on [the] correct path". He suggests that if people are open to seeing these as roadblocks, they may need to seek "mentorship or coaching" to find a better way forward.

Money as Energy and Mindset: Money is discussed as energy, and the host asks how to transform the relationship with money "from stress to flow". Pierre Walter emphasizes that this understanding won't happen overnight for most, but that asking the right questions and having a guide can help. He stresses that money is a big source of stress for most people. Both he and the host agree that mindset is key, as a negative attitude toward money—such as seeing a $100 expense as a stressful problem—is "being magnetized and sent out there".

Inflation and Fear: When discussing inflation, Pierre Walter advises those struggling to "focus on one day at a time" and "try and lower your your levels of fear". He tells listeners to put their burdens out to the universe and "speak the words that it'll be okay" to change their frequency. He concludes that fear is not your friend, as it is "very debilitating" and "very crippling," especially concerning finances.

Currency vs. Real Money: The host defines real money as gold and silver, which he states can preserve purchasing power over long periods of time, unlike fiat-based currency. Pierre Walter agrees, noting that currency is "not true exchange for for your time and sweat". He also shares that he personally views money as "more like a scorecard".

Mindset Blocks: Pierre Walter discusses a personal block he overcame after his parents passed away; he realized he had spent so long trying to live up to their expectations that he had to figure out who he was without that pressure. He states that everyone has "trauma or issues from when they were younger" and that "People have to get out there and do the work".

Final Advice: Pierre Walter's final advice is to "model the world on what you want it to be" and focus on your desired version of life, rather than worrying about everything else going on around you.
