  • The True Path to Sovereignty w/ Jan | YBS #134

    In this episode, I chat with Jan ā€œStallionā€ Marvan, CEO of Hacking Lives, about building real-world optionality: plan-B residencies, tax-optimized structures, and day-one self-custody.

    If you want practical steps to become harder to stop, financially and physically, this one’s for you.
