EP104 - How insurance can screw up your life
29/08/2021 Duração: 44minWe have all been told and encouraged to buy insurance. Insurance for health, your assets like housing, real estate, your car, etc. In many cases, insurance is mandated. If bad things happen, you better have insurance. But it has created a society of irresponsible and ill-prepared citizens who dont have any idea about personal responsibility and are ill equipped to manage their lives. In this episode Im going to deep dive the concept of insurance and the promises & lies we are told about it.

EP103 - How we got Mexican residency VISAs for less than $1,000
22/08/2021 Duração: 01h03minMy wife & I completed the long process of obtaining permanent residency VISAs in Mexico last week, so I decided (after receiving a large number of requests on the details) to cover the entire process for anyone that may wish to do the same.NOTE: Most of the information out there on other podcasts or YouTube channels is either wrong, incomplete and doesn't take into consideration the details of the work required INSIDE your home country (ie. USA) before you come to Mexico. This episode is a complete process from start to finish, so I'm hoping it can be used as a reference material for the future.MX attorney: Magdelana Rios Phone: +52-415-153-3497 prolegalsanmiguel.com

EP102 - Your Right to travel
15/08/2021 Duração: 46minFor those that have never left their home land, they might have a hard time understanding the importance of the right to travel.

01/08/2021 Duração: 51minHoly cow! 100 episodes already. That went by fast. But although this might be a milestone in our show, I'm not celebrating yet. Because there is so much to do.

EP099 - Safely leaving the workforce
25/07/2021 Duração: 55minFirst, let me say this. I hate the word retirement. I think our social mantra of working for 40 years has turned the act of choosing not to be employed to be misunderstood, and the term retirement has become the end game for those enslaved in employment. I dont see it that way, but I have to use a term that people seem to understand. Regardless of your age, the choice to leave the 9-5 world and become your own person again can be scary and threatening, so in this episode I want to explore the process of leaving the workforce safely.

EP098 - Finding your purpose
18/07/2021 Duração: 52minI honestly believe that to be unconstrained requires you to succeed in three things - finance, health and purpose. Yet the hardest of these three things is to find purpose in your life. I cant tell you the answer to finding your purpose it is a deeply personal journey we must all face, but I can tell you the real costs of not finding it in this episode.

04/07/2021 Duração: 49minWe have a lot of arguments in todays society. Arguments over politics, ideology, methodology, etc. But the one thing you cant argue is math.

In this episode I will tell you a very simple formula that will increase your power and reduce your stress by doing what the rich know stop spending money you dont have.

EP095 - All things in balance
27/06/2021 Duração: 46minFor many years, Ive been seeking out the right balance of financial investments that support an unconstrained lifestyle.

Today I want to discuss whether staying in the USA is sustainable in the long term and whether coming to a place like this might be worth your consideration.

In this episode we will explore privacy as a factor of being unconstrained and financially free.

EP091 - Give yourself permission to be unconstrained
30/05/2021 Duração: 01h07minRecently I've been seeing the direct contrast of how we live our lives to be unconstrained and our friends who dont. In this episode I want to explore mindset. It is one thing to WANT to be unconstrained, but an entirely different thing to give yourself PERMISSION to do it. And that seems to be the #1 obstacle that most of my friends have.

EP090 - You don't own things - things own you
23/05/2021 Duração: 01h38minThe fallacy of The one with the most toys, wins is one of the worst betrayals to be executed on the human being. We are constantly challenged by social mantra to spend more, support the economy, buy that boat or that ATV, get a better car, etc. Yet we all know that this only leads to depression, hurt and a loss of hope. In this episode I want to explore the psychology of consumption and how the small actions of saying No are the secret of having much, much more in life.

09/05/2021 Duração: 55minTheres a fine line between wholesale embracement of a failing system, and the extreme decision to escape it.

In this (and the next few episodes) Im going to talk about trying to find balance between two systems the current Western banker backed economic system, and what could become a new and somewhat better system for us all.

EP086 - The difficult discussion about Life Expectancy
25/04/2021 Duração: 51minAt whatever stage one is at in ones life, knowing that we all have an expiration date is a constant consideration in all things that we do.
