From international living to offshore investing... from private schools to private banking... foreign real estate... second passports... offshore vaults for your precious metals... asset protection trusts do's and don'ts... how to make your digital life un-cancellable... and the best residencies for you to pursue right now... all wrapped up in a dose of libertarian philosophy and uncommon good sense that will keep you sane in an increasingly insane world!

  3. Ep. 44: Should you Stay or Go?

    In times of chaos - like today - there is a strong instinct to either hunker in place or bug out. I think the debate around these two options focuses on the wrong question. Here's what I mean... It's not Stay OR Go. It's not an either-or question. It's "and." You need to be able to stay in place...

  4. Ep. 43: Why No One Is Coming To Save You... And What You Can Do About it

    There are great places you can go to solve your #1 problem: Your physical protection and the preservation of your wealth. But more than wealth - or even personal security - there is an asset you must "own" for the rest of the 2020s and beyond. I'm talking about... Community. If you want to join a...

  5. Ep. 42: The Dangers of Comfort - part 1

    The evidence is overwhelming... Human beings cannot handle excessive comfort. What was the actual moment the US departed from its opportunity to be the shining city on a hill?

  8. Ep. 39: Conflict With Russia Is Really About THIS

    There is no winning a war with Russia. So what’s going on? The real purpose of forever wars is not to win a war (which the US hasn’t done in quite some decades now). The real purpose of provoking Russia is to keep the world on a war footing. When war is declared, your home government will have…

  9. Ep. 38: Mexico Bans Father's Day?

    Less than two weeks after her election (but before her actual inauguration), Sheinbaum’s Mexico is changing. A recent memo was circulated proposing a ban on Father’s Day.

  12. Ep. 35: Stay Or Go?

    There is a debate about whether it is best to stay put and “shelter in place” as chaos hits… or go abroad and look for a place more likely to remain peaceful… where you and your family can live a reasonable quality of life while trouble plays out and gets resolved in North America. Should you…

  13. Ep. 34: Why The Americas Are THE Place To Be When Chaos Hits

    Not all locations are created equal. If you’re paying attention to what’s happening in the world, you know there are places you don’t want to be. In this video, I’m going to share with you why the Americas will continue to be THE place to be. Reason #1 is not obvious… Lots of Latin America is…

  14. Ep. 33: Three Reasons to Internationalize RIGHT NOW

    Three main trends all lead to one outcome. If you add them all up, you get a flashing red siren telling you it’s time to hit the road. War is coming. It’s here if you are paying attention. It’s coming and it won’t spare North America this time. Once war is declared, you will not be able to do…

    Alex Krainer has a thing or two to say about the massive changes overtaking the West. He grew up in communist Yugoslavia and now runs money in Monaco. So you might say he’s seen both of the dominant approaches to government on offer in the world today. He also wrote a book about the rape of…
