0:00 Ashe Oro: You're listening to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast, episode 86, What is the Free State Project? Let's go. 0:19 Ashe Oro: Hey, so what's up, everyone? Welcome to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I've got on the show today a very interesting guy who I've known for a couple years, and he's actually a client of Liberty Virtual Assistants. We got Rodger Paxton. He is on the board of the Free State Project in New Hampshire, which is the reason that I brought him on, but he's also the producer of PorcFest. If my libertarian audience knows what PorcFest is, this is one of the key guys that creates PorcFest for you, and he's the founder and host of The LAVA Flow Podcast, which is part of the Pax Libertas Productions Network. Rodger, welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs. 0:58 Rodger Paxton: Thanks for having me, Ashe. It's great to connect. 1:00 Ashe Oro: Yeah. Rodger, let's just get started here. What is the Free State Project, and how did you hear about it? 1:07 Rodger Paxton: The Free State Project was started, oh, goodness, about 15 years ago, I guess, now as a ... It was a thesis that Jason Sorens was doing for one of his degrees and was basically an idea of bringing a bunch of libertarians, 20,000, to one small state so they could centralize their activism, their voting, whatever libertarians can do to make that state the freest state in the country, possibly, and exert the maximum effort that they could to make that happen. 1:38 Rodger Paxton: It started, like I said, about 15 years ago. They looked at 10 different states. New Hampshire won the vote, and so then people started moving here almost immediately 10 or 12 years ago, matter of fact, I know several people who have been here for 10 years. I first found out about it in 2010 I believe it was, at the National Libertarian Party Convention. They had a booth there, of all things, and my wife and I were talking to the folks, and I'm for Arkansas. I'm from the deep South. 2:08 Ashe Oro: Right. 2:08 Rodger Paxton: I'm from hot, humid. That's what I love, right? I thought, "There's no way I'm ever going to move to New Hampshire. It snows, and it's cold." I didn't think about it for years, and then after being the chairman of the Libertarian Party for a while and banging my head against that wall, I realized, I've got to do something different. Something has to change. 2:26 Ashe Oro: Yes. 2:27 Rodger Paxton: We started looking at it again. Three years ago, actually, next week will be our three-year anniversary we moved up here, and I've loved being here. It's been amazing journey. 2:36 Ashe Oro: I believe you're a Ron Paul as well, likewise. I remember him saying back in the 2008 election cycle this concept of vote with your feet. What does that mean, and how does the Free State Project tie into that?

Ashe Oro: 00:00 What's up and welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro, and we've got a return guest today, Kevin Geary. He's the founder of sixfiguregrind.com and most recently The 250,000 Society. I think he calls The 250k Society. Welcome back to Liberty Entrepreneurs, Kevin. Kevin Geary: 00:20 Thanks for having me. Glad to be here. Ashe Oro: 00:21 Yeah. Listeners will recognize Kevin from episode 70 where we talk about everything you know about food is wrong, but I had to get Kevin back on the show because there's this concept of a digital lifestyle business that he's been promoting on social media and on his podcasts and on his websites, and it really clicks with me, someone who's a digital entrepreneur and nomad and loves the idea of build a business that takes care of you and your family, and you don't have to build the next Microsoft or Apple. Ashe Oro: 00:52 Kevin, can you give us a brief background of who you are and what is the Six Figure Grind? Kevin Geary: 00:59 That is my current mission is to help anybody who's interested. If you're out there listening and you have some entrepreneurial blood inside you, and you want to take advantage of what I see as the biggest opportunity of the history of the human race really when you look at it. The ability to build an online lifestyle business like you just said takes care of yourself and your family yet you don't have to go to the length of building some massive thing that has a bunch of risks and that you need venture capital for and all of this other stuff.

Ashe Oro: Welcome to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I'm your host, Ashe Oro and today's guest is Derek Loudermilk. He's the host of The Art of Adventure Podcast. He's a high performance coach and the author of the forthcoming book Superconductors which promotes the idea of skill stacking, how to acquire a set of skills that makes you more rare, valuable and irreplaceable in the marketplace. Ashe Oro: Derek, welcome to Liberty Entrepreneurs. Derek Loudermilk: Ashe, it's a pleasure to be here. Ashe Oro: So, fill in the gaps here. Who are you and what are you passionate about? Derek Loudermilk: I like to call myself professional adventurer and I have been traveling for the last four years. I think you and I have actually wound up in some of the same places. I was traveling solo and now, I'm traveling with a family. And wherever we go, countries around the world, I like to both go on adventures, find some wilderness area to explore but I'm also talking to entrepreneurs in each country that I go to and I'm learning from people like co-working spaces but also local entrepreneur, people that own fruit stands and tour guide companies and things like that. Derek Loudermilk: I'm really trying to get a pulse of the state of entrepreneurship in each place that I travel to and mixing that with going on adventures and spending plenty of time outdoors and in the wilderness. Ashe Oro: Yeah, so what is it about adventures specifically and just what are adventures and why do you feel like this is drawn to you and what does this have anything to do with being an entrepreneur? Derek Loudermilk: Yeah. So, I've come up with this definition of adventure. There's three parts. One is that an adventure is called an interesting or remarkable experience in the dictionary, which means to remark about something means you tell a story about it. You leave an adventure with a story. There's some element of risk to adventure. The word adventure comes from the French "aventure" and it's the same as venture as in venture capital and that there are some element of risk whether it's real or perceived risks of physical danger or maybe it's just you feel like you're taking a risk socially or something like that. Derek Loudermilk: And the third is there is some element of change that happens to you. As you complete an adventure, you come out of it as a new person. It leaves its mark on you that you bring to your following endeavors, that you bring to the rest of the world that you can share with your friends. An adventurer, maybe and the most common types are traveling to a distant place. It's easiest to have an adventure when you go to a new country or when you go to the wilderness because you're physically changing so many things in your surroundings. Derek Loudermilk: But adventure can happen on a much smaller scale any time you have those elements where you are taking a risk and you're going through something. It could be buying a house for the first time as some type of adventure or a relationship or there's any number of things that can fall into that adventure framework including starting a business. Ashe Oro: Right, hence, the tie to entrepreneurism. Are you an adventurepreneur?

With < 40 days until the launch of the EOS.io software, I interviewed one of the most prominent Block Producing candidates, EOS New York, and their Head of Community Kevin Rose. Since we’ve previously covered the mechanics of HOW Block Producers will secure the network and how they are technically in charge of creating and inserting transactions in to the blocks, this episode focuses on the different roles that BP’s have; being a community role model as well as running a “for profit” business. Remember, we are launching and supporting the EOS blockchain to be entrepreneur and business friendly and to support a worldwide community of like-minded individuals. My favorite segment was when Kevin and I discuss, in depth, the role of governance within EOS. Let’s face it, people have disagreements which must be arbitrated and must address the issues of fraud and theft. No other chain is taking a serious stance on how to this on-chain. With Bitcoin, it’s whoever has the most hashing power, but in EOS there’s a governance and legal layer build thought through and built in from the ground. For example, if you feel like you were scammed (maybe on an Ebay that’s built on EOS), you actually have an outlet to appeal to who can hear your case. You know, kind of like in the real world. A ruling can be given from the arbiters and the transaction could be reversed by the Block Producers. The concept of a “free market justice system” is quite foreign to most, but just as we want competition in all other aspects of life (food, computers, money, etc) we want it in our legal system as well. The checks and balances as well as the feedback mechanisms of the free market will continually reduce costs and improve quality over time. In the legacy system, the government has a monopoly on the legal system which is why it straight-up sucks. Think about this, you could have 1000’s of people to choose from to hear your case. Each of them specializing in various niches so that you can get the most accurate and trustworthy ruling available. Also, how will insurance companies play a part in this new blockchain-based governance model? I don’t know, and that’s the best part. We are free to evolve our legal system however we see fit! The EOS software is coming and may usher in a new phase in “blockchain operating systems” with technology that can support mass adoption. A new Dawn is coming.

Let’s chat about Bitshares, Steem and EOS! Today’s guest is Luke Stokes, a digital entrepreneur, current Steem Witness and he recently joined the eosDAC Block Producer launch team leading up to the EOS mainnet launch on June 1st. Before his blockchain days, Luke built an online shopping cart named FoxyCart which was later rebranded to Foxy.io. What started off as a “weekend project” turned in to a 10-year business venture with a partner of his. Luke recently sold his stake in Foxy.io and now his sole income relies on “chasing virtual internet tokens”. Risky? Maybe, but Luke wanted to follow his new passion and has gone head-first into crypto and blockchain and for him, there’s no turning back. In this episode, we discuss the Delegated Proof of Stake technology and the role that both Witnesses and Block Producers play in securing the blockchain. We also chat about the concept of “voluntary inflation” and how new money creation, if used correctly, can actually build and support a community rather than decrease the value of everyone’s money over time (which is what happens when governments print and inflate the money supply). This episode offers a mix of economics, politics, technology, philosophy all intertwined with the foundation of the Non-Aggression Principle. We may even chat a bit about Ron Paul for those of you who remember the 07-08 and 11-12 campaigns. I don’t know about you, but that was my entry point in to personal liberty. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Luke was one of the main reasons that I found out about Delegated Proof of Stake and I too dove head in. I’m really glad to see him so active in the EOS community. The smartest minds in crypto are in EOS.

Today’s guest is David Packham, co-founder of EOS42, a block producer candidate based in London. He and his team are currently building an EOS delegation market to facilitate EOS-based token leasing in hopes of building trust and earning the votes required to become an EOS block producer. If you aren’t sure what that means, this episode is for you. EOS is a “generation 3 blockchain” which is set to launch in early June 2018. It’s creator, Dan Larimer (@bytemaster7), has previously built two other successful blockchain projects, Bitshares and Steem, both which use the Delegated Proof of Stake blockchain technology. If you are unfamiliar with EOS, here’s a fairly good article detailing various aspects of it https://blockonomi.com/eos-guide/ and here are the EOS.IO FAQ’s https://eos.io/faq.html. I also recommend checking out EOS Go for the latest news and telegram summaries from the various EOS groups online: https://busy.org/@eosgo Much of this discussion focuses on many aspects of EOS as a token, a blockchain and a community. From how inflation is used, to the resource mechanics of the EOS token, a little EOS vs ETH and detailing the unique governance system in place to help settle disputes rather than relying on hard forks. Although we get a bit technical and philosophical at times, I believe this conversation will appeal to both the casual and advanced crypto listener. David and I chat briefly about his background in finance to how he found cryptocurrencies and why he’s dedicating his time to the EOS community and hopefully become a block producer. If you don’t know what a block producer is, don’t worry and tune in. We wrap up by discussing the Chintai, the EOS42 Teams token delegation project which allows for dApp teams to essential lease tokens to gain access to the EOS resource pool (bandwidth and storage) so that they can satisfy the requirements of their applications. Leasing would be done in lieu of actually purchasing the EOS tokens. Why would this market exist and what are the incentives? We discuss and answer these questions and much more.

Big banks (aka the Banking Cartel) has been able to push us around for too long. With their close ties to the mafia, I mean the government, and their access to monopolized fiat money rails (SWIFT, etc)...we have had nearly no choice to build, store and transact our wealth in terms of money. Sure, we could use cash, but that’s really inconvenient and not congruent with our 21st century, digital world. Let’s face it, we’ve been pushed in to a corner for decades. Since interest rates are so low, it means that banks may be better off (yield-wise) borrowing from the Central Banks rather than from their typical banking clients. This creates an inverse incentive for customer service and we, the historic loaners, are now seen as a compliance risk with additional complication. This means that banks become less and less willing to make small loans or accept “high risk” (ie low profit) clients as they once would. My guest, Hayden Miyamoto, knows this all too well. His company www.Fundary.com has the motto “arming the world with global decentralized credit and investments”. He currently lives in Mexico and tells us how the local people actually save, lend and borrow money. They live entirely outside of the legacy banking system which comes with its own set of risks and expenses. Often it requires insane % of capital to borrow for a loan and the interest rates can be >100%/year. The problem, as Hayden describes, is liquidity. Now that blockchain tech has become more accepted and better understood, the benefits have started to shine. With the ability to accept peer-2-peer, micro loans from clients around the world, Hayden and his team can offer the Mexican people APR rates far below the current market rate. ....you can think the government monopoly on money and payment channels for this disadvantage for the poor and underserved. Helping the poor, as we’ve seen in several other Liberty Entrepreneurs interviews, is one of blockchain tech’s main advantages. It cuts out the middleman and allows us to help each other while greatly bypassing the central authorities that have historically held us back and told us no. Guess, what...we don’t be told no for much long. Build Freedom, Ashe Contact Info: Email: haydenmiyamoto@fundary.com Website: https://fundary.network/ PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW ON YOUR FAVORITE PLATFORM!

This was the “Year of Bitcoin” but also the year which the term “ICO” became well-known and grabbed the headlines of the legacy media across the world. Seemingly out of nowhere, crypto teams could raise MILLIONS by issuing their own tokens and fund their development for years. The amount of money raised in 2017 by ICOs, so far, is ~$4,000,000,000 ($4 Billion). With this new ICO opportunity, a decision has to be made when planning your raise. Use the more traditional VC model or use the new blockchain-based ICO method. My guest, Joshua Vaultoro CEO of www.Vaultoro.com a global gold and Bitcoin marketplace, and I discuss some of the pros and cons of both VC and ICO funding and why the Vaultoro.com decided on the more traditional route.

In the “legacy banking industry”, moving money around the world sucks. It’s slow, expensive and overly encumbered with regulations and difficulties gaining access to global currencies. As a foreigner, how are you going to get access to the Thai baht or Iraqi dinari? You aren’t. This presents a huge problem. Either you can’t send money home to your family in the local currency they need or you have to pay ridiculous conversion and FOREX fees along the way. ***If you only have ~5min, start at the 13 minute mark to hear how Bitshares and Smart Coins are specifically being used with Bitspark.io and why they are moving away from Bitcoin. Bitspark.io CEO George Harrap created a company to help solve this huge pain, but initially envisioned Bitcoin being the cryptocurrency of choice. At the time, it was fast and nearly free to send. Funding accounts were much easier than sending a bank wire across the world. Also, bitcoin was used as an “intermediate” currency meaning that they would buy bitcoin with one currency and sell bitcoin for another currency. This was much easier than running a full FOREX trading desk. Recently, George decided to experiment with another cryptocurrency, Bitshares. What’s interesting is the ability to create “smart coins” or “pegged cryptocurrencies” within the Bitshares Decentralized Exchange (DEX) to provided price exposure to some of these difficult to obtain currencies like the Thai baht or Vietnam dong. This essentially removes the need for Bitspark.io to open and maintain bank accounts in these exotic currencies and deal with the overhead of maintaining a bank account for each. Needless to say, cryptocurrencies are completely disrupting the financial system. We have just cracked the ice on how that’s going to reshape the desperate international banking system.

Today’s guest is Roger Ver, Co-Founder of FreeSociety.com and Owner of Bitcoin.com. Recently, at the Nexus Conference in Aspen, Colorado, Roger announced a new project called “Free Society”. Basically he and other founders and investors plan to purchase land from a sovereign state-owned country with the idea of building a “free society” based on libertarian principles. I knew that I had to get Roger back on Liberty Entrepreneurs to discuss this revolutionary idea. In the past, free societies have been attempted with several different models, none of which have been very successful. One of the most popular attempts isthe Seastead movement which aims to build floating cities on international waters, but this has unique and obvious engineering and logistic problems. Another is Liberland, a small piece of land on the Danube River between Croatia and Serbia. Basically, the “president” Vit Jedlička was able to locate the land and confirm that neither country had laid claim. As you can imagine, governments aren’t exactly friendly to new countries popping up within their borders, especially ones that claim to have an anarchist for president. Roger’s approach could signal a new way to go about building our own Galt’s Gulch. Since we still live in a state-controlled world, we must still get their permission and this is exactly what Free Society plans to do. As governments continue to go broke, because of their own terrible business models and as their debt-backed, fiat currencies lose value in the face of the rising demand of cryptocurrency, they will be forced to sell of their assets in an attempt to keep paying out and covering the favors they’ve promised. This means some of the land the government has stolen will be sold back into the private sector, but with an agreement and contracts attached. Roger and I start out by taking a look at his libertarian foundation and how he formed his guiding set or principles (ie NAP). Spoiler: He thought Mises’ book Socialism was a pro-Socialism book lololol. Other topics covered include: What is “Free Society” and how did you get the idea? How is it similar/different than Seasteading or Liberland? What are the important problems that need to be solved for this experiment to work and be successful? How do see this society progressing from literally nothing into a free market-based, wealthy society? Let’s compare how more opportunities are available now than ever because of cryptocurrencies vs relying on the State’s fiat money and/or precious metals as possible monies. How will things be “regulated” and how will licensing work? Walk us through an example of a digital nomad coming to Free Society to live and work. Visas/passports? Renting an apartment?

Huge interview for you today! Charlie Shrem and Anthony Di Iorio join Ashe to discuss how crypto currency “wallets” are turning into “blockchain interfaces” and the role that Jaxx.io is playing to push this idea forward into reality. We start with a discussion comparing a standard web browser to current crypto wallets. Now that the internet of value is now upon us, “browsers” need to evolve...but how? Rather than only displaying information (which browsers do currently) how will they need to change to help us adapt to the changing digital environment where value ownership and transfer is possible. If the storage and transmission of crypto-tokens was the first purpose of a wallet, what are the next steps to owning and controlling other areas of our digital lives (personal, financial and other private information)? Of course we chat about the Jaxx.io blockchain interface (aka “wallet”) and its future plans. What types of strategic partnerships will Charlie be able to secure so that Anthony’s vision of the Jaxx “browser” can be fulfilled? What about identity management and secure, blockchain based communication? You don’t want to miss this; the future of the value-based web is nearly at your fingertips. Towards the end of the discussion, we chat about my experience in Offshore Banking and compare it to the user experience of what the Jaxx.io team is building and offering. Remember, all banks essentially own your “private keys” and are always in FULL CONTROL of your assets on deposit. Compare this to crypto wallets where you control and manage all of your information. While it requires a bit more responsibility on your end, the additional privacy, security and control offered is unparalleled. The “Internet of Value” is upon us and it will change every aspect of how to manage and treat our digital lives. Could this be as big as when the “Internet of Information” was invented? How will it affect our online experiences and how will the free market adapt? How will entrepreneurs build new technologies on top of blockchains and help us protect our sensitive data as society gets used to this new digital value world? No one is certain, but we definitely live in exciting times. Until next time...Keep Building Freedom!!

The Problem: The government has lied to us about food for nearly forever. From unnecessary fears about saturated fats to a ridiculous idea that we need 8 servings of grains a day. Face it, we’ve been duped. Their food pyramid is a scam, but does that really surprise us? Kevin’s Solution: Build a podcast and online fitness and wellness platform based on his own, personal experience from being unhappy with his own health and how he transformed (aka rebooted) his own body. Complete Show Notes: Kevin went through a personal health transformation in 2009. He went for a physical and the doctor told him that he had high blood pressure and was close to becoming a diabetic. He likes to say that he “dieted” up to a weight of 225 lbs. The combination of calorie restriction and excessive exercise worked for a while, but then he’d crash and binge and lose all gains. He decided that something more permanent was needed. Kevin decided that he had a poor relationship with food and became very curious about his OWN body and how it works and wants rather than what some government or doctor tells him what will build a successful food relationship. At the time, Kevin was the co-owner and instructor of a martial arts school at the time and wanted professional change too. During his own body transformation, some of his students started to take notice and asked him if he could help them. This demand slowly turned into a business opportunity. Remember, if there’s demand there’s a potential business opportunity. So he emailed his list from the karate business and created a couples health and wellness program. It was successful! He had 7 couples that wanted to join and the Rebooted brand was started! You don’t want to miss the part where we discuss sugar and how it’s actually a drug; hooking into your body and making you physiologically dependant. Yes, there’s a withdrawal period from sugar and Kevin chats about why it’s wise to take some time to be curious about your possible dependence. Food Pyramid Both Kevin and myself aren’t big fans of the state-sponsored food pyramid and remain quite skeptical. We discuss the origins of the pyramid and why it could have been politically manipulated rather than actually being created for our actual benefit. Sounds like a gov program, no? For liberty-minded people, this is a MUST listen podcast. We’ve gotta take care of ourselves, we all know this, but Kevin breaks it down in very libertarian language. Remember, property rights are derived from the body so if you respect property then keep getting closer to the root. Keep building freedom!

Today’s guest is Erik Voorhees, Founder and CEO of Shapeshift.io, the best way to exchange digital tokens on the Internet. I was amazed at how eloquently Erik could communicate the benefits and value of Bitcoin as well as why it should be embraced by every person who supports “free market money” (Gold/Silver). Unfortunately, Peter Schiff wasn’t able to (and still doesn’t) grasp the paradigm shift and advancements in money created by Bitcoin and blockchains. Protecting Customers: Market-based solution vs Government Regulations Most people (general public) believes that a government needs to “regulate” the Free Market in order to protect customers. We discuss how such government regulations actually harm the customer and protections should be left to the Entrepreneurs and business leaders to figure out. How Shapeshift has Created a Revenue Stream for Digital Token Wallets Speaking of revolutionizing business models, before Shapeshift it was very difficult to create a cash-flow positive business that builds crypto-currency wallets. Selling ads, allowing purchases with a credit card (very difficult and risky) or creating a LocalBitcoins-eque marketplace were the only ideas. None of them worked well. Now with Shapeshift, crypto-currency wallets who support multiple tokens can now integrate the Shapeshift exchange engine and make a small cut of all the token exchanges happening from within the wallet. Shapeshift Hack, Bitfinex Hack and the Invention of the “Crypto bond” Another interesting conversation was the similarities and differences between the hack on Shapeshift and the hack on one of the world’s largest digital token exchanges, Bitfinex. Since Shapeshift does not hold client funds, no user’s money was affected whereas ~$75M of customer funds were stolen at Bitfinex. You do not want to miss the discussion about the impact of the “Bitfinex token” and how that allowed 100% of customer’s funds to be refunded. Another evolutionary step in how the Free Market and satisfying customer demand is the best way to protect sensitive information and money. Bitcoin Block Size Debate, “Alt-coins”, Libertarians and Bitcoin Maximalists Why Bitcoiners would rather fight each other rather than the “powers that be” in the banking industry and with the government’s fiat money seems to take a back seat to how Bitcoin should be upgraded. This in-fighting has created doubt in the Bitcoin blockchain and has caused an explosion of both interest and market cap other blockchains and digital tokens. A solutions-first approach seems to be missing and nagging, complaining and blame throwing are in the forefront. Reminds me of all the unnecessary fighting in the Libertarian community. What’s up with fighting the people who you have >90% in common with? That’s it for this episode of the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast!

The Rhodium Community is a very small, but highly engaged and connected community of digital entrepreneurs. The idea is quality over quantity and their invite-only, yearly conference “Rhodium Weekend” only has ~100 tickets available. I was fortunate enough to receive an invite to Rhodium Weekend 2016 and to put it bluntly it changed the focus for this podcast and helped me identify a need in the market which eventually lead to the decision to quit my day job and pursue my own passions and business full time. You could say it was life-changing. If you keep up with Liberty Entrepreneurs then you know that I’m interested in cultivating my own community of digital entrepreneurs and hopefully host a conference in 2018. Chris’ experience and feedback in both of these areas as well as his experience being a successful digital entrepreneur has gained my respect. I just had to have him on the show to tell us his story and how he’s found more freedom in his personal life because of entrepreneurship. Thanks again for tuning in!

What you are going to LEARN in this episode: The Problem: Our digital communities and lives are too decentralized. Philip Taylor’s Solution: Create, build and organize My guest today to Philip Taylor (aka PT Money). PT has a CPA background and grew up with a CPA father, so from an early age he was interested in money and finance. Back in the early 2000’s, PT started blogging about his own personal finance which was very uncommon. To protect his identity online, which was the norm back then) he went by the alias “PT Money”. He felt that in order to share his personal finance number, and be honest with them, he needed an alias. Bam! www.PTMoney.com was born. Now he was a full time financial blogger, but he started to find that even that wasn’t enough. Early Days of Personal Finance Blogger Back in 2004, blogging was still very young and sharing your personal finance with strangers on the internet was even more rare. Before long, PT became an authority in the space and decided that creating a conference would be a great way to bridge his online community in real life. In 2012, the FINCON conference was built for “financial geeks”. PT fills us in on the importance of creating high-value content and why associating your real world identity has now become the norm. FINCON Conference Since we live in the age of digital communities, we often miss out on the real life interactions with others. Networking has changed in the past 10 years, but nothing can replace eye contact and a firm handshake in person. I attended FINCON16 in San Diego and the energy and community is amazing. Definitely a unique and energetic buzz the entire time. Don’t miss when PT describes and details exactly what it takes to create a conference and the various lessons he learned along the way. FINCON is currently in their 7th year with attendance >1500 ppl. FINCON 2017 is in Dallas and I will not be attending (more details soon), but if you go please tell PT what’s up for me.

The Problem: Artists still don’t retain much control over their music and art and remain at the wishes of the music labels. Tatiana’s Solution: Integrate cryptocurrencies to empower the artists to interact and engage DIRECTLY with their audience, supports and fans. Background: Tatiana has loved music her whole life and deeply influenced by singers/songwriters of the 60’s and 70’s. She didn’t know it then, but their message of freedom and individualism really struck to her core. Later she read classic novels like 1984 and Animal Farm and kept building this mindset. In 2012, Tatiana learned the truth about the Federal Reserve and a lot of stuff started to make sense. During the 2012 election, she made sense of what Ron Paul was fighting for and started creating music around the movement. While hanging out and learning from the “liberty movement” Tatiana found Bitcoin and something struck her; as a musician she quickly saw a great opportunity for her and her artistic peers to take control over their music and appeal directly to their fanbases. No more seeking permission from a big record label for the type of music to create or album art. Artist-coins So you might be asking...why cryptocurrencies? Good question. Tatiana and I discuss how cryptocurrencies will change crowd-sales forever since you are offered a token in exchange. Basically you are sent a crypto-token as a provable receipt for the transaction. Rather than just a “thank you for donating”, you have an actual token that can then be used to purchase the artist’s merchandise or maybe even give to a few friends so that they can download the single (or whole album) for free. If you collect enough artist-coins, then you might get a backstage pass, etc. Tatiana plans to have an entire online store where she’ll accept her token, Tatianacoin, as payment. Now she can get our music and art out to the public while retaining full control over the experience. Ross Ulbricht Towards the end of the interview, we chat about Ross Ulbricht, the “alleged” mastermind behind the Silk Road. I’ve met Ross’ mother Lyn Ulbricht and she’s simply wonderful (and a client of https://www.LibertyVAs.com). Ross drew a picture of Tatiana (see below) which she chose to use as her album art. If a large record company was in charge of the distribution of her new EP, Keep The Faith, then she wouldn’t have been allowed to use the art of a felon. Well, she doesn't need their guidance or controls. #freedom Contact Info: Website: www.TatianaCoin.com Twitter: QueenTatiana Podcast: The Tatiana Show - https://liberty.me/podcast/tatiana-show/ **Tatiana’s new EP “Keep The Faith” will be available on March 31st!** www.TatianaCoin.com Press Releases: http://tatianamoroz.com/entrepreneurial-indie-artist-tatiana-moroz-releases-soulful-new-single-safe/ http://tatianamoroz.com/february-9th-tatianacoin-campaign-press-release/ http://www.sonicscoop.com/2017/02/09/bitcoin-musicians-tatiana-moroz-makes-case-artist-coins/ http://www.nasdaq.com/article/how-the-blockchain-lets-musicians-connect-with-fans-and-get-paid-cm755712 PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW ON YOUR FAVORITE PLATFORM!

What you are going to LEARN in this episode: The Problem: Over 50% of the world’s population lives on less than $5/day. Governments can’t possibly take care of the hungry and poor. With the money the gov doesn’t steal from us, we donate to various charities, but they are very inefficient and waste the donated money. Instead of going towards the cause which we donate for, the funds go into the hands of politicians and “well-connected” individuals. #notcool DonorSee’s Solution: Build an smartphone app that competes with the major charities, but give a better user experience, much higher % payout to the cause and more instant gratification with a community vibe. Background: While living in Africa, Gret Glyer saw a huge problem. Extreme poverty was a way of life and the current charity model simply wasn’t working. He had an idea, instead of joining the Red Cross and try to fix it from within, Gret decided to develop an app which allowed volunteers (such as himself) more easily raise money to fund their humanitarian projects. He calls it DonorSee. He was dedicated to creating a new type of charity that didn’t pad the pockets of the government and their friends (like the Clinton Foundation) but instead would give the majority of the proceeds to those in need. The difference with DonorSee is that it’s basically based on the Uber model of crowdsourcing and the sharing economy which leads to more transparency rather than giving to some huge, monolithic organization where funds tend to get “lost”. Think about the following use-case: You’re living in a place where people need financial assistance. Log in to the DonorSee app to help raise $ for a very detailed caused which YOU think needs attention. Take pictures and videos to show post them to the app and let the world decide if you cause deserves funding based on what you are looking to accomplish. Gret says it’s easier to post a project (and image) on DonorDee than it is on instagram. **I haven’t currently used the app, but I’ll report back once I do** There’s an obvious problem here...how do you know that someone is legitimate and “raising money for a mule” isn’t actually “send me money for beer”. Gret has already thought of this and added a reputation system (like Uber) to the app. If you have a good or bad experience, then report it directly in the app. Also, if you aren’t sure what cause to donate to, you can choose one of the “staff picks” which are even more pre-vetted. #problemsolved DonorSee is already available and Gret has raised >$25k using it to help people directly. You can easily find him as a user after installing the app. You don’t want to miss the conversation towards the end where we chat about the Clinton Foundation and how the Liberty Community has come out strong for the cause. Bitcoin and Blockchain? Blockchain tech not currently being used in DonorSee, but if YOU see an opportunity that Gret is missing, leave a comment on our Facebook and/or Twitter feeds (links below)! Gret’s Advice It’s never been easier to get your ideas out on the internet, but know that you need to work really hard to get people’s attention. There’s a lot of competition out there, but also plenty of social problems to solve.

The Problem: The CIA is hacking the world with Vault7. Paul Puey and Airbitz Solution I recently met Paul Puey at the Anarchapulco conference in Acapulco, Mexico and I left quite impressed with how Paul communicates the value of Airbitz and how they were founded on both security and customer service. This was one of my favorite episodes and is packed with value stemming from Paul’s experience in software engineering and small business. He saw Bitcoin as a solution for the cash-based industries like food/service but quickly found that there was an ease-of-use aspect in cryptocurrency wallets. Security Thanks to Wikileaks, we’ve recently learned about the CIA’s “Vault7” suite of apps that is designed to hack nearly anything with a microphone and camera. It seems that nothing is safe. We discuss how severe and dangerous the revelation actually is and how Airbitz is trying to protect your digital money and information. Why Airbitz uses Decentralized Bitcoin Nodes Paul mentions that some wallets host their own bitcoin nodes (aka their communication channel to the Bitcoin network) whereas Airbitz has a very robust, decentralized network of nodes which protects against node outage not allowing you to place a btc transaction. Check out the end of the conversation where we discuss how Airbitz offers a smart-fee system to help your transactions get confirmed quickly.

Welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast! This week I’ll share my must-have tools for managing and working with a virtual team.

I personally use all of the tools listed below and have provided some commentary for reach to describe how and why I use it. If you find this episode valuable, please share it with your friends?

Before I hire a new Virtual Assistant (I currently have 4 on my team) there are a few checkpoints that I ask myself. 1. Is this a permanent position or one-off contract? 2. Have I defined the VA’s role and responsibilities? 3. Have I created workflows or training material for the tasks to delegate? 4. Do I have enough work to fill up their time? 5. How do I delegate tasks? 6. How do I keep up with my VA’s work each day? 7. How do I pay their salaries? 8. What if I have trouble with my VA? 9. Can I afford to hire a VA? 10. How do I retain privacy while giving them access to my platforms? Contact Info: Website: https://www.libertyvas.com/ Don’t Miss an Episode!

So you’ve hired a new Virtual Assistant and it’s time to take your business to the next level. Delegating task, freeing up time and having someone to regularly brush ideas off of is a clear improvement. That said, just because you hire someone doesn’t mean that you will build an effective business relationship. Communication is the key. Keep the following tips in mind so that you create a work environment built on trust and respect with a team mentality. 1. Build trust by getting to know your VA on a personal, but professional level. 2. Ask for their opinions. 3. Be Flexible with Their Schedule. 4. Be Patient and Understanding. 5. Stay Humble and Ask for Constructive Criticism. 6. Ask for Confirmation. 7. Give Compliments and Praise (when appropriate). 8. Ask Them to Create Tasks For You. 9. Share the Same Playing Field. Your VA sees you as their CLIENT. 10. Ask them how you can help or what is holding them back from completing their tasks. Contact Info: Website: https://www.libertyvas.com/ Don’t Miss an Episode!

What you are going to LEARN in this episode: Learning on the VA job vs “formal” College education Typical working hours and salary for a call center technician How the freedom from working at home benefits both VAs and Clients Call Center job vs being a Virtual Assistant Welcome back to Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast! Today’s guest is Dexter “Dex” Carreon, Team Liberty’s very first Virtual Assistant! Dex joined Team Liberty in Summer 2016 as the “Virtual Podcast Manager”. He’s role includes editing audio, designing social media graphics, competitor research, Wordpress management and even building an Woocommerce online store. The purpose of this episode is to, again, give you an inside look at the background and experiences of another Virtual Assistant and the journey to finally becoming a VA. Like many of us, Dex started off stocking shelves in a grocery store, then was hired for the night shift for a technical support call center and now as a technical Virtual Assistant. Tune in to hear how Dex used to spend 5+ hours/day to travel to-from work and put in 11-hour workdays during the “graveyard shift”. Listen to his enthusiasm as he describes how his life has gotten so much better now that he works as a Virtual Assistant. More money; way fewer hours and work from home without the need to travel. We also discuss his experience without having a 4-year college degree, but getting the same types of jobs and picking up skills and “software upgrades” that continued to raise his market value. In the end, Dex could never go back to the Call Center jobs. The lack of dynamic tasks and flexible schedule can’t compare with the awesomeness of working from home as a Liberty Virtual Assistant! Remember, when you hire a Virtual Assistant you are creating a win/win scenario and helping improve the lives of someone on the other side of the world. #winning Tune in next week to hear my Tip to Effectively Communicate with your Virtual Assistant.

What you are going to LEARN in this episode: What’s is like to be a Virtual Assistant The importance of English Proficiency How the BPO and Call Center industries help train Virtual Assistants Why a “home-based” VA jobs provide safety and freedom Welcome back! In an effort to remove the MYSTERY around working with a Virtual Assistant, I interview Cherry Lou, the LibertyVAs.com Recruitment Manager! We’ve been working together for a few months and she opens up with her story and experience in the call center and “BPO” industry right after graduating with a 4 year degree. I hope you come away with valuable insights on the freedoms and opportunities available by becoming (and working with) a Virtual Assistant and you realize that they aren’t much different than you, the Entrepreneur. Everyone is using the skills and talents they’ve built to open doors, make connections and hopefully better their and their family's lives. We start out hearing Cherry Lou explain what the BPO (or Business Process Outsourcing) industry and her experience working in a call center for AT&T. She goes on to explain why the BPO industry is so popular in the Philippines and how the skills learned while working in call centers builds the skills necessary to be an awesome Virtual Assistant. A typical day of a chat support representative in the Philippines: Traveled 1-2 hours to go into work. (each way, unpaid travel) Graveyard shift which often feels dangerous to travel alone Very long days (check in 30 min before shift starts). Only paid for 8 hours/day, but often had to work much longer until the clients stopped calling Didn’t allow for much creativity or dynamic work. All scripted and it got really unmotivating! We continue on to hear how Cherry Lou decided to change call center jobs and why she saw it as a real first step to building her own freedom. Eventually, after several years of similar call center tasks, she felt confident enough to become a Virtual Assistant and work from home! Tune in to find out how... Being a VA is so much better than working in the BPO industry. Repetitive tasks, little to no creativity and bosses who don’t appreciate you...sounds terrible! We end the interview by discussing the importance of English and when the average Filipino begins learning the English language. Without the ability to read, write and speak English, many Virtual Assistant positions are very limited and this is one of our TOP skills that we test for when matching our LibertyVAs.com clients with a new virtual team member.

Crypto-currency is as controversial as the recent Presidential election. Will it become the medium of exchange in the near future?

I just returned from an amazing conference, the Rhodium Weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s geared towards a small, but active community of digital entrepreneurs who specialize in cash flowing websites. It really changed my perspective on things. http://rhodiumweekend.com/ From now own, I will concentrate on Digital Entrepreneurship rather than Entrepreneurship in general. That’s not saying that brick-n-mortar companies can’t be wildly successful and create the lifestyle that you want. It’s just not my focus and I give the reasons in the podcast. If you’ve been keeping up you’ll know that I interviewed Trevor Koverko in Episode #32 on the topic of buying and selling websites. You’re welcome to check it out here: http://libertyentrepreneurs.com/2016/05/le32-trevor-koverko-part-2-how-to-buy-cash-flowing-websites/ It’s a bit Internet out there and I met people building and running all of the following online businesses: Affiliate marketing Review sites Authority sites AMZN FBA sites Podcasts Community membership and mastermind groups Premium Subscription-Based Websites Dropship and Self-fulfilled e-Commerce SaaS Businesses The community is excited, energetic, passionate, intelligent, humble (most of them) and very helpful. A common theme was that many got started because they wanted to “Escape the Cubicle” and live a more free life. To do this, many created their own online companies or bought one to manage and run. I learned that it takes a LOT to run an online company and anyone looking for an overnight success can fuhgeddaboudit. Standard skills involve: SEO Systems and workflows Marketing Automation Lead generation Managing an email marketing list and drip campaign Webinars Community engagement Social media management (finding right platforms) ...and so much more Needless to say, there’s a lot to build but we can create communities of like-minded people to help us becoming successful. This podcast is for you. This podcast is a journey and a challenge. It helps us hold each other accountable for the things we say matters to us, but we instead sit around and complain. Look, I get it. I’ve been there. I appreciated a round of State-hate like anyone else that recognizes what’s going on and the tough situation the government has put us in. We can’t feel sorry for ourselves and dwell, but instead let’s BUILD! Let’s actually create the world we want to live in. Compete with the State’s services and compete and help each other become successful. We are an army, a peaceful army, of people who want to make the world better...and we can do it. What are you passionate about? What knowledge can you share with the rest of us? Who can you connect us with? How can I help you? What do you need to become more successful and free? This is the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast and my goal is to help people passionate about liberty build their own free and flexible lifestyle by becoming a Digital Entrepreneur. If you share this mindset, then let me know. I’m raising the yellow and black flag. My vibe will attract my tribe. Let’s go, we have a lot to BUILD!.
In 2015 there were 42.2 million Americans living in food insecure households...that’s a nice way of saying that they didn’t know where their next meal would come from. That’s 13% of all households* At the same time a new study from the USDA: (Released in February 2014) reported that “in the United States, 31 percent—or 133 billion pounds—of the 430 billion pounds of the available food supply at the retail and consumer levels in 2010 went uneaten** Houston, we have a problem. Wouldn’t it seem that if all of this food already exists, but is just thrown away, that it should be simple to give it to the people who need it the most? It’s pretty obvious that government solutions aren’t working and waste is much less prominent in the Free Market. Leave an iTunes Review and help out the show!

All of a sudden a lot of people had some serious gains in the new crypto-currency and the Bitcoin community is VERY GENEROUS. Jason decided to raise money (in Bitcoin) to follow through on his mission to feed the hungry. I previously interviewed Jason on Episode #21 back in February 2016. At the time he had feed only a couple hundred people but the concept was working. Fast-forward to Oct 2016 and he’s already feed >10,000 and created an iPhone app to help communities self-organize and bridge the gap between food waste and hungry people. Simple but genius. http://libertyentrepreneurs.com/2016/02/le21-jason-king-how-you-can-become-an-unsung-hero/ This is the true mindset of an Entrepreneur. Identify a problem in society Get creative about solutions then start telling people about your plan Recruit like-minded people who will want to help your cause It’s a short interview today ~20m and I hope you make it all the way through.

This week I’ve decided to give you a preview of the presentation I’m giving at the FinCon 2016 Conference in San Diego on Sept 23rd. FinCon is a big financial conference, held every year, which caters to financial bloggers, podcasters and content creators. The average age is 36 and it’s 50% male and 50% female. They’ve asked me to be the FIRST EVER speaker on crypto-currencies and I’m really excited to present. The purpose of this episode is to give you an idea of the topics I’d like to cover and ask for YOUR feedback and suggestions. Remember, this crowd is young, financially savvy, active on social media and basically replacing the old school, mainstream media. Although they have a background in finance and economics...many of them have only heard of Bitcoin; most likely because of Mt. Gox, the Bitfinex hack, Silk Road or that it’s only used for illegal purposes. You know, the only reasons that the establishment media has reported on Bitcoin. Bitcoin in Venezuela and Argentina - Inflation is out of control! I can ask something like “should you have the freedom to choose to store your wealth and transact in a currency that isn’t being hyper-inflated by central banks?” How would your life be affected if you had 100% inflation per year?” Should the people in these countries have alternative money options? Math vs Politicians - who do you trust? Remember, a lot of these people got BERN’D with the elections and most will be quite intelligent...just not crypto-savvy. Bitcoin is regulated by MATH whereas fiat currencies are regulated by politicians. How To Use Bitcoin - I could show a screenshot of a Bitcoin wallet and maybe give a demonstration of how it works. I could offer $1 in Bitcoin to anyone who comes up to me after the presentation with a newly installed wallet. I could recommend several wallets for iOS and Android. I could talk for 2 hours, but i’ve only got 30m. What do YOU think are the best topics for me to present to a fresh, young crowed of financial content creators? This is not only a great opportunity for me, but a great opportunity for Bitcoin. If these people have the knowledge, resources and an understanding of how Bitcoin helps all people; the poor, the unbanked, business people, the left, the right, entrepreneurs and everyone in between...then we could have HUNDREDS more bloggers and podcasters spreading the awesomesauce of Bitcoin rather than just repeating all the shenanigans and lies that the establishment media offers. I need your input. One of the best things about being an Entrepreneur is that we create networks of people who are actively building, offering advice and excited to share their experiences and feedback. How can I help you become more successful? Are you looking to network? Maybe have someone review your business plan? Lemme know how I can help!

YouTube video here! Topics include: - Gold - Entrepreneurship - Internal personal freedom - Libertarianism - Market speculation About the Guests: Joey took a leave of absence from Pomona College to focus full time on Augur. He conducted the first Bitcoin transaction via sound as well as the first Bitcoin transaction via iOS-Android Bluetooth LE. As a prelude to Augur, Joey and Jack completed Sidecoin, which allows new cryptocurrency distributions based on "snapshots" of Bitcoin account balances. He works on Augur’s backend codebase which interfaces with Chris's math functions. He is currently making Augur’s consensus implementation faster and more accurate. Joey worked on bitcoin merchant solutions and enjoys hardware tinkering and game development. He was his high school valedictorian and a senior officer of his college investment club. Perry worked as an economics correspondent for the Financial Times, Fortune Magazine and Investors Business Daily after majoring in economics at Harvard. Before the 2007 crash, he uncovered heavy insider selling by homebuilder executives, used futures markets to gauge the surprising extent of Wall Street's dependence on the Fed, was first to report the Fed's formal brainstorming over unconventional stimulus options and how the U.S. government's future financial challenges were massively underestimated. He developed regressions to assess which nations might outperform or underperform going forward based on which were "underpriced" or "overpriced." He manages special projects for Augur, including strategic initiatives involving the financial sector and artificial intelligence.

Welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast. I’m so excited to welcome back Trevor Koverko who was previously on Episode #7 entitled “Virtual Reality and Digital Real Estate”. This time we only concentrate on how and why Trevor buys profitable, cash-flowing websites. It’s a very young market with TONS of potential. Think about this, Trevor and his team ONLY look at websites that have a 30% or more ROI. This is such an exciting topic and I’m very pleased to share it with you. I’ve included the show notes below and please comment on our Facebook page with your feedback. https://www.facebook.com/LibertyEntrepreneurs/ Trevor’s 5 steps to successfully purchase a website (basically his framework and day-to-day rules) Active lead generation and sourcing websites. Find the best deals before the bidding war happens. Due Diligence on the best leads that come in (qualify all leads). Verify traffic, legitimate links on website, etc Make offer and negotiate deal. Once you like the deal, it’s time to ACT! It’s still a buyer’s market since there’s not a lot of liquidity for sellers, but that is changing rapidly. This means you can potentially have a lot of leverage during the negotiations. All of the buyer’s protections are created in this step. Transition assets from previous owner. Remember, this is an Asset Purchase Agreement instead of a Share Purchase Agreement. This allows you to easily transfer the jurisdiction of the business since it’s all online and virtual. Promote Growth. What are the revenue streams and how can you grow them? Advertising? Cross selling? Enhance SEO? How much content creation is required? TheWebsiteBuyer.com - Trevor's “authority website”. Learn how he plans to capture an audience and solidify himself as the #1 place to go to for this type of knowledge. He has already developed educational resources and coaching programs to help YOU start cash flowing websites. Mainstream Investments? Not so fast... Why did Trevor “flip the bird” to mainstream investments including stocks, mutual funds, gold stocks, oil stocks, real estate, bitcoin ATMs, traded options and bonds? How did he put an END to his investment losing streak with the 3 key elements below? Save/Invest Keep Control Prioritize Cash Flow Advice Trevor’s recommends that young and new entrepreneurs learn about digital marketing. Specifically: What is a marketing funnel How to up-sell and down-sell How to split test How to analyze metrics and other data Favorite Quotes: “This [digital marketing] is the future language of business, not a little niche of geeky internet people”. “If you add value for other people in their lives, good things tend to happen to you as well.” ***I recommend you read Trevor’s story on his “About Me” page: http://www.thewebsitebuyer.com/about-me/ Sample from website: Life Investment Lesson #1: Earnings lead to Savings Savings lead to Investments Investments lead to Cashflow Cash Flow leads to Freedom Contact info: Email: trevor@thewebsitebuyer.com Website: www.thewebsitebuyer.com
