In this new episode, Lloyd breaks down the truth behind the headline that 85 million jobs will disappear by 2026, and reveals whether AI is really going to destroy your financial future. While governments push universal basic income as a safety net, it’s really a trap that creates dependency, limits your potential, and keeps you controlled.

Lloyd explores what the headlines about AI job losses are really missing, and why the biggest risk isn’t automation itself but failing to adapt. He shows how the choices you make now will determine whether you fall into dependency or build lasting financial strength.

In this episode, Lloyd reveals why the Australian property market is a ticking time bomb, and why a crash isn’t just inevitable, it’s necessary to prevent something far worse. With $11.6 trillion in property propped up by $2.6 trillion in debt, households are drowning under unsustainable repayments, and government policies like the 5% deposit scheme and high immigration are only making it worse.

Lloyd explains how APRA is stepping in to temper the market, why unchecked greed is driving housing into bubble territory, and what a controlled correction could mean for both owners and renters. Most importantly, he shows you how to protect your wealth and position yourself for the opportunities that will come after the fall.

In this episode, Lloyd James Ross breaks down why he believes the Bitcoin “death spiral” has already started and what it could mean for your money, especially if you’re exposed to crypto. He unpacks MicroStrategy’s massive leveraged Bitcoin bet, the looming unwind of the Japanese carry trade, and how these risks could trigger a chain reaction across crypto, stocks, property, and even the Australian dollar. From margin calls and forced selling to behavioral traps like HODL culture and hype-driven investing, this is a blunt, no-fluff look at systemic risk, capital preservation, and how to actually prepare for a major market shock instead of getting caught in it.
