In this episode of Talk Money To Me, Candice and Felicity sit down with acclaimed historian, author, broadcaster, and the brilliant mind behind the new book Gold - Professor Alan Ereira.

In his latest work, 'Gold: How it Shaped History', which Candice and Felicity discuss in this episode, Alan explores the powerful and often surprising role this precious metal has played in the rise and fall of empires, economies, and belief systems.

In this episode you will hear the deeper meaning of gold- not just as a financial asset, but as a force that continues to influence human behaviour and markets today.

As of mid-May 2025, gold is trading around $3,234 USD per ounce, and some market participants are predicting a 15-20% uplift by the end of 2025 calendar year.

That’s despite the rally of 26% roughly so far YTD. Will the 2025 gold rush continue? Tune into this episode to find out more.
