Episode 075 - Nomadland - The testimonial to Financial Sustainability

In 2020, I started to hear rumors of an upcoming movie about those that choose to live in Vans & RVs in America. I thought it was some documentary. Well I recently had the opportunity to watch Nomadland - the very same movie, after finding out that it had won or been nominated for so many awards, and in this episode I’m going to give you both my review, but also how important seeing this movie is, if you want to do all you can to protect your future and your freedom.

Episode 074 - So you are thinking of starting a business….

In 2020, we saw an unprecedented number of small businesses closing down due to COVID19. As a contrarian, I have to admit that this is an opportunity for those willing to fill that void. And as more of us have had to work from home, shelter in place, etc., more of us have had more time to think freely and with that we probably came up with some brilliant idea that will change the world. So if you are brave enough to want to go once more unto the breach and start a business, I’m going to give you my advice having done that a few times in my life.

Episode 073 - Rethinking the concept of FIRE

Don't get me wrong - I'm ok with the concept of Financial Independence. But it is a means to an end, and if you think the end is ''retirement'', I think you are doing it all wrong. So in this episode I want to deep dive the concept of why we work, what makes us happy and why separating financial security from life goals has to be the methodology that we start with, rather than the one we end with.

2020 - The Unconstrained Debrief

I prefer not to do these "Year in Review" episodes, but 2020 was a unique chance to test the philosophy of Financial Sustainability against a pandemic. I mean it has been 100 years since the last pandemic, so by putting this together I hope it codifies why Financial Sustainability is probably the most valuable thing that anyone could use to get through a SHTF year such as 2020.

Episode 069 - The quest to be RICH

The definition of ‘rich’ differs from one person to the next, but I think that whatever your definition, we can all agree that the quest to obtain wealth is worthy. Anyone who tells you anything to the contrary isn’t doing you a service. In this episode I want to explore the concept of ‘rich’ and break down some false assumptions that people have to help you break free of the shackles of western society and find your path to freedom.

Episode 068 - Why I’m bullish about (and love) Mexico

The first time I ever went to Mexico was in 2007. A friend of mine from India suggested it. It was probably some of the best advice I ever received. Since then I have spent a considerable amount of my time in Mexico, and have seen it evolve over that almost 14 year period. But today geopolitics and world affairs now has it poised for exponential growth, and in this episode I will explain how you can take part in it, if you choose to.

Episode 067 - The broken college system with Eric Stoddard

It is rare to have a conversation with someone who is uniquely positioned to be an adjunct professor in a university and also a business leader in the private sector - someone who can describe the path that students actually find when coming out of college and looking for a career. Eric Stoddard, one of our Patreon community members, joins me to deep dive the misinformation about tertiary education, career guidance and planning and how what we are doing just isn't working for both the student and also the employers.
