## Resource

In this episode of the Financial Survival Network, host Kerry Lutz sits down with legendary resource investor Rick Rule to discuss wealth, purpose, and living a fulfilled life beyond the markets. Reflecting on his career, Rick explains why he hasn't felt like he has "worked" since his 30s—shifting his focus from chasing profit to creating genuine value for others. He shares how surviving an early-career financial bust taught him that market cycles are inevitable and that embracing failure is essential for long-term speculative success. He also details his plan to leave 99% of his estate to philanthropy. The conversation also explores human capital, personal drive, and navigating modern shifts like artificial intelligence. Kerry shares his experience finding renewed purpose by challenging municipal system flaws, while Rick highlights his ongoing work with Battle Bank to offer better solutions for precious metal investors. Together, they offer practical insights on saying "no" to non-essential tasks, building strong communities, and staying adaptable in a rapidly changing world.
