Whether you are in your 50s and looking at when you want to pull the trigger & retire, or if you are in your 30s and think you can retire early, you need to hear this episode. Im going to tell you that it isnt rainbows & unicorns out there and most have no plan for how this period of their life will play out.

In this episode, I explore why most new entrants to becoming financially free fail - misunderstanding the basics of humans vs. science, and what is needed to understand and be responsible in betting against the herd to gain wealth.

The concept of retirement assumes a finite end of work. When one is older, they may not be able to work due to age, but for those capable and younger, the idea of retiring early assumes you are not doing what you love to begin with. In this episode, I react to many that are defending the idea of retiring early in a world of high inflation, low stock market returns, etc. rather than addressing whether the entire strategy is flawed to begin with. And I offer an alternative.

In this episode I will take the long held social position and faith-based retirement planning industry and blow it out of the water - whether it be for someone looking to retire in their 60s or someone looking to retire a lot earlier.

In this unscripted episode, I talk about my own personal experiences since the age of 26 in buying my own home, the numerous homes (and mortgages) I've had, and how I eventually paid off the home mortgage. I talk about the differences between investment property and your principal residence, and how many view this unrealistically.

For the past couple of years, weve been dealing with a biological virus that has turned people into fearful victims, and given tacit permission to evil to prevail in governance. But for far longer than that, weve been dealing with a very different plague the plague of insecurity. In this episode Im going to deep dive this plague, and how this is turning out.

In this episode, I spend the first half talking about how I stumbled into Bitcoin and left the space after getting 1,800x my original investment. In the second half, I talk about what Bitcoin & cryptocurrencies have become and where I see this all heading.

Throughout the western world, we have generations that have been raised on the idea of getting things that they want with other peoples money. Understandable since earning & savings hasnt been wise for a very long time due to low interest returns. But things are about to change, and I fear that western society will be faced with a shocking scenario it is not prepared for. In this episode we will talk about the debt mindset and what you need to do to shake it, and be unconstrained.

I would hope that in todays world, the general rule of thumb is that it is better to invest than to speculate. I think Warren Buffet really underscored this principle, but I see all around me people not understanding the difference and even those that do, seem to follow the herd into the world of speculation when they should be investing. So in this episode, we will deep dive the different approaches to help you become unconstrained.

Over the past 100 years, weve seen the western world go through massive change, but one such change that is rarely discussed is towards an increased focus on the mind. In this episode, I invite you to join me on exploring the concept of the cerebral society a world in which you explore the dimensions of thought, and often at the peril of physical reality.

Imagine if you knew next weeks lottery numbers? Would you have to work in that crappy job and deal with that crappy boss any more? Well demographics give you a long term view of where things are going and for those (like me) that pay attention to them, weve enjoyed not working for a very long time.

The only time Ive paid for an airline ticket or a hotel room in the past 8 years, is when it was literally cheaper to buy it than to use my points. Otherwise Ive traveled the world for free using travel hacking. In this episode, Ill tell you how Ive done it and how you can to.

Much of the chaos that we see surrounding us right now was predicted and fortold. But few took notice. Those that did, already set themselves up for the greatest wealth transfer that will be seen in 100 years. But those that idly sit by watching, are doomed to be victims to it. In this episode, we are going to explain The Fourth Turning, and why this is critical in understanding why things are the way they are right now.

In this episode I will deep dive the opportunities and traps of a species changing the underlying protocol of its existence. Real entrepreneurs know you make money when you solve problems and anytime a major social change is underway, problems unveil themselves and opportunities generate wealth. So if you are interested in finding the diamonds in the rough, this is the episode for you.

If there is one thing I think we unilaterally agree on is that George Orwells 1984 was a brilliant work of fiction that has become a playbook by governments & humanity to enslave us. How we could take a warning like that and turn it into a standard operating procedure just shows how we do things against our best interest. So I decided to try and fight back and built my own De-Googled privacy phone, and took it to Mexico to test it out. Lets find out just how well I did.

I get asked a lot about my experiences in medical tourism. As many of you know, I had major surgery in Guadalajara, Mexico, that saved me about $120K vs. having it in the USA. But it was a massive leap of faith, and if anyone is looking down the barrel at a similar situation, Im hoping what I learned from it might just help you out.

On this episode, I'm joined by Brandon Miller who is an expert in helping people move to Canada. I was surprised to find out that the barriers to entry to Canada that I thought were there change everyday, and Brandon knows of literally 100 different methods that people can use to migrate to Canada if they choose to. Additionally, we talk about Brandon's own experience in living in Asia for many years, what he learned by being an actual nomad himself so that he can completely relate to what his clients want for themselves and their families.

As I record this, Goldman Sachs have stated that they expect the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates 6 times this year. And many speculators are thinking the Fed will try and get to about a 2.5% base interest rate in order to try and reign in inflation. But although we had this only a couple of years ago, this could result in a lot of changes in the economical world that we all live in. In this episode I want to discuss different strategies that you can have to deal with rising interest rates in your own personal finances.

Something noticeable appears to be happening. Countries are starting to get real with COVID, and move from a strategy of containment to a strategy acceptance and learning to live with it. Calls for some countries to accept that past strategies of containment havent worked, and have in fact destroyed individual freedoms, commerce and mental health, are being heard everywhere. No more so than in my home country of Australia. So in this episode I put out the same call for sanity here, and how the future may look for all of us.

Your dollar is not worth as much as you think it is. Thats hard to accept and process. But even though Ive been telling you this for years now, it seems more of us are starting to accept it. The question now is How can I learn to live with inflation, and how can I combat it?
