344: Don’t Just Stand and Fight—Position Yourself to Win
There’s a freedom revolution quietly unfolding—and it’s not coming through politics. More and more people are taking matters into their own hands—setting up offshore structures, getting second residencies, diversifying their assets, and ensuring they’re not boxed in by failing systems. It’s not about fear—it’s about options and the ability to act on your own terms when things get messy.
In today’s episode, I sat down with Austrian economist Bob Murphy on The Bob Murphy Show to break down this transformation and share what I’m seeing on the ground with clients around the world.
TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH BOB MURPHY:
- Tune in to hear Bob and me break down Trump’s showdown over the Panama Canal—and how it pushed China’s Belt & Road Initiative out of Panama.
- Discover why Nayib Bukele’s unapologetic leadership is turning heads—and what El Salvador is doing differently to attract global attention.
- Listen in as I share the story about purchasing pesos in Argentina’s “blue market”—this was wild!
- Get my take on Javier Milei’s bold reforms—what’s working, what’s not, and whether Argentina is on my expat radar yet.
- Learn why I’m deeply skeptical about a U.S. “strategic Bitcoin reserve”—and why it runs counter to everything crypto stands for.
- Find out how the Biden administration’s sanctions against Russia backfired—and accelerated the global de-dollarization trend.
- See how ordinary people are already being debanked—and how offshore tools like gold vaults and foreign accounts can offer protection.
- Hear my response to Americans who say, “We need to stay and fight”—and why I think there’s a smarter way to go about it.
