  • EP091 - Give yourself permission to be unconstrained

    Recently 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

    The 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.

  • Positions: Won't Somebody Please Think Of The Landlords?
    On episode 264 we look beyond individual ethics to explore the role of various positions in society and how these different positions shape the worldview of those who hold them. The role of landlords, or as they are now known in Victoria, rental providers. The roles of the police, military and the employing class. Our trip to Queensland and Trump supporters, cancel culture, Monopoly and the catchphrase for the pandemic.

  • EP089 - Parallel Societies with Paul Rosenberg

    In this episode I talk with writer, philosopher & cryptographer Paul Rosenberg about the current state of the western world, history of the fall of empires and how a common theme in most was the existence of parallel societies that often thrived as a result of the collapse of the empire in which they lived. Let's see if we can draw some parallels and advantages to our lives by looking to the recent past.

  • EP088 - Straddle the line - Escaping our dystopian system

    Theres a fine line between wholesale embracement of a failing system, and the extreme decision to escape it. Much like mainstream thinking vs. conspiracy, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. 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.

  • EP087 - Fight back against debt

    In a world of bankers who wish to enslave you from the ripe old age of 18 until the day you die, theres a time when we have to say enough is enough. On this episode I sit down with Garrett Charity, attorney at McCarthy Lawyers and we learn the inside baseball of debt negotiation and elimination, and talk about how his firm reduces or even eliminates student loan and credit card debt for their clients.

  • EP086 - The difficult discussion about Life Expectancy

    At 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. Yet few of us actually see the forest for the trees in our lives, and our planning is often done reluctantly rather than strategically. In this episode Im going to attempt lay out the facts of life expectancy and how the current planning of the financial services industry & government policy needs a serious amount of rework.
