Borderless Podcast

Simon Black is a West Point graduate and former Army Intelligence officer. It was a poor career move, but inevitably he came to question the nature of wars, governments and the banking system. The creator of Sovereign Man, he travels the globe looking for personal and economic opportunities to enrich his and his subscribers' lives.

This is Jonathan's favorite interview ever and is a guilty pleasure as we delve deeply into one of the reasons why many see the wisdom in internationalization: there are presently many reasons to question the structures that form the foundation of our very lives--and no downsides to creating a Plan B. Enjoy!

Zak Slayback is an Ivy League apostate. When he realized the traditional education path was going nowhere, he dropped out of Penn to join forces with a couple of other visionaries as the Business Development Director of Praxis.

Is Praxis right for you–or your child? The qualifications are tough, but the potential outcomes are exciting! In this week’s Borderless Podcast we find out why and how.

Pete has definitely proven himself in the area of online marketing by starting and operating many wildly successful online businesses while simultaneously traveling the world non-stop for the last 10 years.

We cover many important questions such as:

What is the difference between real successful online income and the spammy programs that you see all the time?
How soon after starting an online business should someone expect to be making money?
What if someone doesn’t have any specific product or service in mind at the moment, what can that person can do?
Is it necessary to have a someone knowledgable about the industry guide you through the process of starting an online business?

This one will piss you off. When Brian Aitken needed to transport legally owned guns within New Jersey, he called the State Police to make sure he followed the law explicitly. But when an out-of-control police officer and judge equate gun possession with criminal activity, the law is a minor inconvenience. The result: he went to prison, his passport was confiscated and he hasn't seen his little boy in six years.

In this week's episode we examine the state of freedom in the United States, and focus on some important reminders for those seeking to live as a free a life as possible.

Brought up in the Bible Belt Prairies of Canada, Gabriel Scheare has come a long way; both philosophically and physically. Originally attracted to Chile by the promise of a freedom-loving community, which fell apart in grand fashion, Gabriel and partners have learned the lessons and are creating community catering to entrepreneurs and freelancers in Valdivia, Chile.

In this episode we hear about both the background and vision for Fort Galt--as well as the Exosphere at which Gabriel and his partners first met.

Justin Cooke didn't plan on starting Empire Flippers when he headed for the Philippines in 2010, but when the business he worked for started falling apart--and he pictured having to go back to the US, pull his stuff out of storage and start over again there--he got serious.

Today Empire Flippers is matching online business sellers with buyers, and helping them through the process of making the exchange. For many it's a much better option that traditional investments, and can afford them the freedom to live the lives of their dreams!

D.R. Fideler was location-independent before location-independent was cool. But he was worried his clients might not like it. So he just didn't tell them he'd moved to Bosnia. And he pulled it off! The good news: when he eventually broke the news, they were happy for him.

In this week's Borderless Podcast, we find out how he did it, his motivation and why this life of freedom is much better than dealing with the politics of a career in "higher education."

Every week we receive messages from people who are frustrated in their attempts to go Borderless. Some of the reasons are substantive, but others are psychological. Enter Pavlok, a wristband that helps people break bad behaviors through "zaptic feedback."

In this week's episode we talk with Pavlok's creator, Maneesh Sethi. Even though he authored an international best-seller at 14 and went on to accomplish remarkable things, he was frustrated by his level of productivity--until he hired a woman to sit in his office and slap him in the face every time he went on Facebook. His productivity increased and the idea for Pavlok was born!
