If your retirement money is tied up in an IRA or a 401(k) and exposed to the ups and downs of the U.S. stock market, your retirement savings may be more vulnerable than you think.

In this episode, we cover how to use it to invest in foreign real estate and other real assets that can help protect and diversify your portfolio for the long term.

Uncover the wide variety of assets that you can own using self-directed IRAs, from precious metals to cryptocurrency to international real estate. Discover the very few types of assets that retirement accounts are prohibited from managing. Cross these off your list of investment ideas for IRAs.

It’s time to craft your Plan-B while you still can... IN TODAY’S EPISODE: Discover why Canada’s capital gains hike to 66.6% is more than symbolism—it’s economic warfare.

A passport is crucial to your freedom and global mobility, but what if your citizenship could be a liability? I recently read an interesting article on IMI Daily called “13 Ways Your Passport Could Ruin Your Life.” While I agree with many of the author’s points, I believe most of the real-world risks are misunderstood—and far more manageable—than people realize.

For the freedom-minded, there’s plenty of doom and gloom where we look for it—wars, technocratic control systems, and economic collapse. But while most people stay stuck in fear or outrage, others are taking action. They’re securing second residencies, moving capital out of reach, and planting flags in places where freedom still has a fighting chance.In today’s episode, I joined Hrvoje Moric on his program Geopolitics & Empire to discuss what I’m seeing on the ground: which countries are best for freedom-minded expats, how I separate fantasy from reality in the offshore space, and why I believe the path to sovereignty lies in pragmatic action—not black-pilled defeatism.
