本期Hidden Forces邀请了企业家迈克尔·马洛尼，他是《金钱的隐藏秘密》系列纪录片的制作人，他与主持人Demetri Kofinas探讨了货币史、自由主义和奥地利经济学。马洛尼在创办GoldSilver.com之前，克服了童年时期的阅读障碍，创办了一系列公司，包括一家高端音响制造商，并获得了多个设计奖项。值得一提的是，他的设计作品在伦敦的维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆永久展出。马洛尼从小就患有阅读障碍，高中九年级就辍学了。他的第一份工作是汽车零部件和配件的推销员，他开车带着样品和目录，在西南地区以及俄勒冈州等地进行销售。最终，马洛尼创办了自己的高端音响设备制造商，以及一个名为“家庭娱乐展”的年度展会，该展会与消费电子展在同一天举行。直到2000年代初，马洛尼才萌生了创办GoldSilver.com的想法，它最初是一家金银经纪公司，后来发展成为一个关于奥地利经济学、贵金属和自由主义思想的教育媒体内容的可靠来源。十多年来，马洛尼一直奔波于世界各地，将他对经济学和货币史的热情传递给从硅谷到华尔街、从香港到罗马的观众。他今天加入Hidden Forces，与我们分享这段经历。

In Episode 104 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Michael Maloney, perennial entrepreneur and host of the documentary series Hidden Secrets of Money about monetary history, libertarianism, and Austrian economics. 

Before starting GoldSilver.com, Mike overcame his childhood dyslexia to found a series of companies, including a high-end stereo manufacturer, winning several design awards in the process. Few people know this, but one of Mike Maloney’s own designs is on permanent display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Mike also grew up dyslexic, leaving school after the 9th grade. Mike’s first job was as a traveling salesman, driving all over the Southwest and as far North as Oregon with a van full of samples and catalogs of automotive parts and accessories that he sold to customers. Eventually, Mike started his own high-end stereo equipment manufacturer, as well as an annual show called the Home Entertainment Show that took place during the same day as the Consumer Electronics Show. It was not until the very early 2000’s that Mike Maloney got the idea for GoldSilver.com, which began as a gold and silver brokerage, and which eventually developed into a reputable source for educational media content on Austrian economics, precious metals, and libertarian thought. For more than a decade now, Mike Maloney has traveled the world, sharing his relentless passion for economics and monetary history with audiences from Silicon Valley to Wall Street and from Hong Kong to Rome. He joins us today on Hidden Forces to share that experience with us.

The overtime to this week's episode includes a lengthy conversation about Tesla, as Mike Maloney is a Tesla Bull, and has taken some issue with our bearish coverage of the electric car manufacturer and its founder, Elon Musk. This segment, as well as the transcript and rundown to the full episode, are available to audiophile, autodidact, and super nerd subscribers through the Hidden Forces Patreon Page. All subscribers also gain access to our overtime feed, which can be easily be added to your favorite podcast application.
