Join in as Adam and Patrick talk gold! It’s history as money, the intrinsic stored value of gold, and it’s longevity as a means of wealth preservation and risk management. Step into current day, and Adam discusses the passion he felt to learn about the philosophy and history of money, why it’s valued as it is, and the role it plays in the organization of society. Propelled by burning questions, natural curiousity, big ideas, and a deep understanding of gold’s importance, Adam felt drawn to new innovations in nanotechnology from two inventors with whom he eventually collaborated to produce the Aurum®. Gold bills which make gold ownership secure, trustworthy, accessible and collectible. Adam shares his vision for its broad viability as legal tender, future distribution and supply, and value of the company. All of which feed his deeper purpose, together with an exceptional team, to create something of meaningful contribution for current and future generations.
