Hi Matthew, been following Doug for years. I'm more curious about you, from one of your episodes where you stated you were very much a "median guy". Yet in your interviews with Doug, you appear to be quite financially successful, judging by the background in the video. I'd like to find out how you achieved your success. I feel I'm median in a lot of ways, and eccentric in others. I love international diversification & have done a lot to that end. I have plenty of good, silly, and eccentric business ideas, but I always fails to execute. Do you have any particular articles about yourself and how you achieved?

JV, thanks for the kind note. I don't have anything that'll succinctly summarize what you might be looking for. But, I did put out 20+ podcast this year talking about my approach to business. Here's the first episode. Perhaps some of these might be of interest to you. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3sXGPOoDfCq2HvCKKRKBlJ?si=0GVGXe5JRpi460fm29MOsg

Thanks mate. I thought it was the Wartime CEO podcast, just realised now it's the whole Smith Sense podcast. Subbed. Episode titles sound interesting. All the best, JV.

2017. That was the first time I heard Doug talking about Fedcoin. He's a genius and his predictions scare the shit out of me. God bless us all.

Not sure where to post questions to you guys, but I have really been intrigued by interviews from guys like Jim Rogers, who I think aligns with Doug Casey's views on many issues. I am thinking you may know him and wondering if you ever have attempted to get him on your show?

Doug and JIm have been friends for decades. He's on our list. We'll have him on at some point.

Ahh, these guys seem to have had similar lifestyles, experiences and economic outlooks. I had this feeling they knew each other. I will look forward to that interview!

Hi Matt: thank you for hooking up with Doug and producing these daily does of sanity. I awakened to reality back in 2005 when I fired my "financial advisor." No more outsourcing the management of my wealth. My first step down this new road started with one question: "what is a dollar?" It was my "red pill." Not long after, I discovered Doug's essays and books. Have been following ever since (mostly via ZeroHedge). I'm about to go through some big changes again in my life, to which I'm looking forward despite the significant uncertainties. I agree with you about the importance of connecting with like-minded others; I look forward to the opportunity to meet some via the community you're creating. Rare birds (odd ducks?) unite! Thank you again.

Oh I joined. Might be time for a road trip this summer with my 20yo son to Rapid City. Also, if you happen to meander through the Virginia Shenandoah Valley on your USA tour, please let me know; I'll buy you lunch or dinner and a few cold ones at the Woodstock Brewhouse.

Hi Matt - really enjoying the content with Doug. Had the pleasure of meeting this remarkable man a few times and even travelled from the uk to Cafayate to meet him and talk to him for a few days. All the best Dieter Schänzer

Its great to have people building on the work and philosophy of Doug Casey. Funnily enough we are going through the same logical thought process. I know some of these places like Baltics, PL, Eastern Europe may actually be the refuge from Europeans from the flood.

The above quote really resonated with me. I have been an amateur astronomer for over 30 years. Countless times I have shown the same planets that Galileo speaks of to friends, strangers anyone who would care to look through the telescope. To see the truth behind the point of light fills many with awe and some with fear. I thank you and Doug for providing your insight and commentary. Keep up the good work.

You’re very fortunate to have my Uncle in your life to guide you and teach you how the world works. It’s something I have always wished for and I admire him and really enjoy watching you two speak in your awesome conversations.
