“This is usually the way how those organizations hook them, those countries, and enslave them.”

Jan Kotas left Europe, built a life in Paraguay, and now helps families leave countries before those countries get the chance to do the same thing to them. His own grandparents didn’t have that option. Under the Iron Curtain, leaving meant leaving someone behind.

If this is what happens to entire countries, what happens to the people inside them? Why does a government eventually confiscate what people spend a lifetime building? Why is a steak flown in from the other side of the planet cheaper than one grown down the street in Canada? And why does a guy who calls Paraguay home think El Salvador’s entire reputation is just marketing?

"My kids are going to grow up in this dystopian world." That's what Jeff Booth told a room of the world's top central bankers, after they asked him point blank what he would have them do.

He didn't stop there. Private meetings with Trudeau. A call from a future political leader asking how to make the transition into Bitcoin. Years of silence from people he thought were his peers, right after he handed them his book.

Jeff Booth is the author of The Price of Tomorrow and one of the clearest voices on Bitcoin, deflation, and the coming transition away from central banking. In this conversation with Adam, he goes further than most Bitcoin interviews ever go, into identity, fear, faith, homeschooling, and the decision he's already made about where to raise his own kids as more countries ride their currencies to zero.

The US dollar is the mark of the beast.

What does it really mean to protect your family, your wealth, and your future?

Brandon Gentile sat down with Adam O’Brien to get into why he believes it, what fiat actually means in Latin, and why whoever controls the money ends up controlling the rules everyone else has to live by.

That last part is hard to ignore this week specifically, with the Senate just voting down the Clarity Act and Bitcoin taking the hit for it. Brandon's lived through worse weeks than this one and explains why he's not worried.

From there it moves fast: homeschooling five kids outside a system Brandon calls Prussian by design, why he thinks Trump's actual job is exposer-in-chief, real estate as fiat's last stand, the six year clock he says is running out on the dollar, and why he thinks the builders outlast the takers no matter how this decade goes.

Canada and the uncertainty surrounding its future, the idea of going where you’re treated best, network states, flag theory, and what it looks like to create more independence in an increasingly unstable world.

In this episode, Paul Keating joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about freedom, family, community, health, faith, fatherhood, and the growing desire to step outside the conventional path.

Paul shares how moving to Costa Rica changed the way he thinks about success, relationships, raising a family, how his Bitcoin journey led him straight to Jesus, and finding a place where you genuinely feel at home. We talk about life in the jungle, surfing, natural living, building strong communities, and why being surrounded by people who share your values may matter more than simply trying to “escape the system.”

Paul Keating left the US at 23, went all in on Bitcoin, and ended up building a life in the jungle of Costa Rica with his wife and daughter. No mortgage, no 9 to 5, surfing most mornings, working with Paul Saladino on ancestral health, and raising his kid completely outside a system most people never stop to question.

They want you sick on purpose.

The government doesn't want you well. It wants you dependent.

In this episode, Adam O'Brien sits down with John and Nadja from Born To Be Free; a husband and wife who walked away from processed food, pharmaceuticals, and the default medical system to build a life rooted in faith, family, and self-reliance.

They get into why big pharma profits when you're sick instead of healthy, why the birth control pill and modern obstetrics were built to make women feel powerless over their own bodies, how losing everything can still leave you rich if you have your faith and your family, and why "being hard to kill" might be the most important thing a man can teach his children.

This is a conversation about sovereignty; over your body, your money, your time, and your soul. In a system built to take all four from you.

George Bodine has lived enough lives for five men: a cop, a miner, a fighter pilot, a father of five, and he's not done.

In this episode, George and Adam get into what it actually takes to build a life on hard work and conviction when almost everything around you is designed to make that harder: a jobs market quietly being hollowed out by AI, a government that's lied to your face and called you crazy for noticing, inflation eating your savings faster than you can earn it back, and a financial system that can freeze what's yours with one phone call.

George doesn't theorize about any of this, he's lived through the moments that taught him to trust himself over the system, and he explains exactly why that matters more now than it ever has.

This is a conversation about family, faith, and the discipline it takes to stay sovereign in a world that keeps asking you not to.

The most educated generation in history doesn't know anything, and Matt Hill from Start9 says that's not an accident, it's the point.

School was never built to make you smart, it was built to make you obedient, and he's got the receipts, from his own kids' education to the moment he realized his Ivy League professors sounded exactly like the guy who wrote Mein Kampf.

This conversation goes places most interviews won't. Why curiosity gets beaten out of kids on purpose. What it actually looks like to raise three kids with zero lessons and zero homework. And the night everything he believed got tested for real, standing on an IDF base while a bus thirty feet in front of him got bombed.

If you've ever wondered why the smartest generation in history feels the dumbest, this is the episode that explains why.

He's a self-taught developer, an unschooling dad of three, and a former registered Democrat turned libertarian.
