EP143 - Retire early is dead
29/05/2022 Duração: 01h10minThe 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.

24/04/2022 Duração: 01h34minThroughout the western world, we have generations that have been raised on the idea of getting things that they want with other peoples money.

In this episode we will talk about the debt mindset and what you need to do to shake it, and be unconstrained.

So in this episode, we will deep dive the different approaches to help you become unconstrained.

EP131 - I built a privacy phone
06/03/2022 Duração: 53minIf 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.

EP130 - The 5 things I learned about Medical Tourism
27/02/2022 Duração: 01h22minI 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.

EP129 - Escape to Canada with Brandon Miller
20/02/2022 Duração: 01h24minOn 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.

EP128 - Winning with rising interest rates
13/02/2022 Duração: 01h17sAs 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.

EP127 - Time to give up containing COVID
06/02/2022 Duração: 01h06minSomething 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.

30/01/2022 Duração: 50minYour 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?
