Episode 162 - Human Psychology & Markets

As we move to a bear market and what some would call a recession, it is important to understand that markets are just collections of humans and their perception of value. Understanding that human mindset and how we deal with the changing times is important in positioning for growth in your asset investing.

Episode 161 - Balanced Frugality

We’ve probably all seen and be entertained by TV shows on Extreme Frugality – those people who do insane things to save money, dumpster diving, etc. They are obsessed with not spending money. On this episode I want to talk about balanced frugality. How you can do amazing things to save money, yet not be some oddball that others laugh at as you quest towards being unconstrained.

Episode 160 - Shadow Inflation

As I record this, the Fed Reserve is on the cusp of more interest rate increases in an attempt to curb inflation. But this is one big game of illusion, shadow economics and making numbers look the way you want to present them, rather than fixing the problems of the world population.

Episode 159 - Like a duck (in the crosshairs)

When you travel, you meet a lot of interesting people. If you are not from around their parts, they let their guard down and tell you what is really going on. These simple conversations are important to bring us back to reality and compare the contrarian lifestyle with the traditional. Oh, and there will be stories about ducks!

Episode 158 - De-Globalization

Since the 1990s, when China entered the World Trade Organization, there has been a euphoric move towards outsourcing to cheaper countries for manufacture and labor services. Although this brings down pricing, and helps curb inflation rise, it means the emerging market countries benefit while the client countries reduce expenses, but adjust their labor force accordingly. In this episode I want to explore the current and future trends of de-globalization, when countries retreat to their own borders and what both causes this, and what impact it has for all of us going forward.

Episode 157 - The story of Starlink & Rural Australia

Government & their best intentions can destroy the hope and future of a country. Whether it is from corruption, or just poor management, putting all of your faith & trust in central planners never seems to work out. In this episode, I tell the story of exactly that - government taking away the future from a country with so much promise and trying to sell it as a victory for the average Joe.

Episode 146 - What they don’t tell you about retirement

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. I’m going to tell you that it isn’t rainbows & unicorns out there and most have no plan for how this period of their life will play out.

Episode 145 - Wealth creation is an art, not a science

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.

Episode 144 - How contrarians see the world

In this episode I explore the freedom of movement - travel, and how to find wealth in opportunities on our planet. I discuss how having a domestic only view excludes all the gems that exist outside of your homeland and explore the concept of "You can never be a wise man in your home town".
