Geopolitical risk in the Middle East is back in the spotlight, and for many people, it’s raising deeper questions about stability, long-term planning, and where to build a life. Recent events have forced a conversation that most prefer to ignore: what happens when you’re living in a region exposed to conflicts far beyond your control?

In today’s episode, I share a personal story about why I chose to leave the UAE after nearly a decade, despite genuinely loving the country. I break down how that decision was shaped by long-term thinking around risk, family, and resilience.

The conventional path for young men is breaking down. College is more expensive than ever, jobs are disappearing faster than degrees can keep up, and an entire generation is being pushed into debt, confusion, and dependence before they’ve even had a chance to build real-world skills. More parents and young men are starting to ask a hard question: “If this system is failing, what actually works?”

In today’s episode, I am joined by entrepreneur, rancher, and author Matt Smith to discuss The Preparation, his new book co-written with my friend and mentor Doug Casey. We break down how real competence creates confidence, why character matters more than credentials, and how skill acquisition, mentorship, and responsibility can shape capable, independent individuals inside a system designed to produce the opposite. 

Enjoy!

IN TODAY’S EPISODE

• Listen in to hear why the traditional college path is failing young men
• Learn why exposure to risk and responsibility builds judgment that schools never teach
• Hear why character and responsibility matter far more than credentials
• Finish this episode with a clear alternative to raising dependent boys in an increasingly unstable world

What if the fastest-growing economy in the world was also one of the most underdeveloped? That’s the paradox of Guyana, a tiny, English-speaking nation tucked between Venezuela and Brazil. I spent several days on the ground for my very first trip to this country. 

In this episode, I am joined by my co-host, Marc Clair, to unpack everything I learned about the country, from its interesting demographics to its bizarre colonial legacy and its modern geopolitical situation.

Over the past decade, Canada has rapidly slid from a respected nation to one that many people now see as a cautionary tale of the logical end of extreme progressivism taking over a political system. Meanwhile, things here in Latin America are moving in the opposite direction, as the region continues to shift towards embracing more pro-freedom and pro-business policies. 

I sat down for a conversation with my friend Shaun Newman to discuss the current state of Canada and how it contrasts with what I’ve been seeing on the ground here in Latin America. We dive into the various factors contributing to Canada’s decline, and contrast them with the massive pro-freedom changes currently happening in much of Latin America. 

Enjoy!

IN TODAY’S EPISODE:

• Listen in as Shaun and I skewer Canada’s environmental policies and green agenda, from bird-slaughtering wind farms to fines for walking in the woods
• Tune in as we lament on how we both used to feel pride while travelling the world as Canadians… but today, we’re embarrassed to admit where we’re from.
• Shaun and I unpack how Air Canada strikes and broken infrastructure reveal the deeper rot inside the Canadian system
• Hear how birth tourism, multiple passports, and raising a large, values-driven family form the backbone of my offshore Plan-B

Patrick Hiebert is the Co-Founder of EcoVillages, an eco-home and sustainable community design and development company based on libertarian values and the Founder of MavenNFT.io, a hard asset NFT marketplace. 

EcoVillages has defined the “F.I.R.S.T. Community Certification” program whereby other eco-friendly and sustainability-based community developers can become certified as implementing best practices.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH PATRICK,

• Why being with like-minded freedom-lover is the only path forwards
• How self-sustainability and personal responsibility are your greatest defence for what is happening in the world
• Zero power bill to run your home or your business…imagine…wondering how that works? We talk about creating that for your home.
• We talk about the financial benefits of wind power, solar power, recycling, greywater…things vital for the future. 
• If you get separated from the grid or if there’s a problem with a hurricane or other type of natural disaster, are you ready? Will you be able to live? Big questions we answer here.
• Patrick explains F I R S T…you will want to know and understand the rationale behind this amazing concept of living.
• I wanted to know how a community will grow and be able to sustain itself, what the technology will be, the responsibilities, and how these types of things will be built. Patrick goes hog wild on the details!
• What happens to the greywater and the black water in this new community? Should we all be buying new eco-friendly soaps… an interesting question.
• How living in a country that grows fresh vegetables and fruits year-round is so different from countries in the Northern Climates, like Canada or Norway. If you think you can come down to countries like Panama or Nicaragua and use the same systems…think again!
• How vitally important it is to understand the culture, the history, the language, the food, and making friends with the local people and incorporating yourself into the new country you will now call home.
• If you’re looking at getting back to traditional values, and warm family values, then you’ll really enjoy this episode with Patrick and me.
• Two extremely important concepts…a self-sustainable lifestyle and like-minded people. It’s hard not to imagine what our world will look like in the future.
• We talk in detail about security. Are these communities walled? How will you be protected when you live in one of our communities? Will you feel safe?
• To all my American friends still up in the States, you’ll be excited to hear what’s new in Panama, and what you can now do that was once almost impossible!
• Think you’ll be bored living in a community with 300 homes in the middle of the mountains with a view of the ocean? Wondering what you’ll do every day? You will not believe what Patrick and his team have built in other countries, it will blow your mind!  
• Patrick explains an NFT and how it pertains to buying real estate. The benefits of using an NFT and how he’s taken a messy concept and made it really really easy. You’ll want to buy homes this way for the rest of your life. 
• Financially sustainable, living tax-free, growing your own food, producing your own energy and spending time with like-minded people…it doesn’t get much better than that.
