Alan Hibbard first became curious about the world of investing in 2007. He studied business at a university during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and graduated with an MBA in Finance in 2011. But he felt like the curriculum didn’t address his questions about money, value, and their effects on real people, so he turned to alternative media for answers. That’s where he found Mike Maloney’s YouTube channel and, eventually, the eye-opening series Hidden Secrets of Money. He’s been a freedom-loving scholar of the Austrian school ever since. Alan reached out to Mike in 2019 with an offer to help with research, analysis, and chart-making. They worked closely together for over four years to release Mike’s second book, The Great Gold and Silver Rush of the 21st Century. Now, Alan continues to help us spread our message of free markets, individual liberties, and sound money to the next generation of investors.
