In this landmark sixth chapter of The Journey Beyond Death, we begin a new arc titled “Mystics & Seers” by welcoming two of the most piercing voices in spiritual inquiry: Jeff Berwick and Shunyamurti. Together, they unravel what lies beyond this world—and how to reclaim the truth buried beneath illusion. Jeff Berwick, founder of The Dollar Vigilante, challenges the very nature of reality. Is this world a divine simulation? Is death just a shift of levels in a cosmic game? Through years of intensive meditation and consciousness experimentation, Berwick offers raw, revolutionary insights: that fear is programmed, death is misunderstood, and freedom begins when the mind surrenders. Shunyamurti, spiritual director of the Sat Yoga Ashram, takes us even deeper—into the still center of being that never dies. With razor-sharp clarity and mystical presence, he explores why the soul incarnates, how ego fragments the Real, and what it means to awaken before death. His message: You are not the body, not the mind, not even the story. You are the eternal light watching it all. This episode is not for the casually curious. It's for the seeker standing at the threshold, ready to cross. Death is not the end. It is the illusion we must transcend to truly live. ------------------------------ Featuring in order of appearance 01:00 - Metaphysical Seeker & Sovereignty Advocate Jeff Berwick 44:00 - Spiritual Master & Founder of the Sat Yoga Institute Shunyamurti -------------------------------- Jeff Berwick is a financial iconoclast, spiritual truth-seeker, and founder of The Dollar Vigilante. After building and selling Canada's largest financial website, Stockhouse.com, Berwick spent years traveling to over 100 countries—seeking freedom, truth, and a deeper understanding of reality beyond the mainstream matrix. One of the first analysts to call Bitcoin at $3 and Ethereum at $2, Berwick also teaches that we're living in a cosmic simulation—a spiritual “video game” where awakening means reclaiming our power from fear, control, and illusion. Through his media platform Vigilante.tv, bestselling book The Controlled Demolition of the American Empire, and his annual Anarchapulco conference, Berwick fuses financial independence, metaphysics, and radical self-liberation. Website: TV Channel: ----------------------------- Shunyamurti is a renowned spiritual teacher, yogi, and founder of the Sat Yoga Institute and Ashram in Costa Rica. Drawn to the path of inner liberation from an early age, he immersed himself in advanced practices of meditation, self-inquiry, and multiple yogic disciplines. His training included an apprenticeship with Baba Hari Dass, extensive study of Sri Ramana Maharshi's teachings, and over a decade of committed spiritual life in a Brahmachari ashram in India. Shunyamurti's wisdom synthesizes the core insights of Advaita Vedanta, Shaivism, and Buddhism with Western psychoanalytic traditions, transpersonal psychology, and mysticism. He has also explored altered states of consciousness through entheogens and integrated learnings from esoteric traditions like Taoism, Kabbalah, and mystical Christianity. Through his talks, writings, and intensive retreats, Shunyamurti offers a transformative path for those seeking inner silence, self-realization, and the transcendence of ego.

This has been a significant week for the biggest Australian media company that you probably haven't heard of. Headquartered in Perth and with more than 100 staff, The Market Herald has completed a $27m fund raising to buy classified sites Gumtree, Carsguide and, Autotrader.The Market Herald is parent company of the Hot Copper trading forum and the new acquisitions will catapult it the front row of the classified media battle. TMH is the seventh largest media company (of seven) listed on the ASX.In the Unmade interview, TMH's CEO and founder Jag Sanger explains the company's business model, and reveals his plans to launch a new national weekly business newspaper alongside a push into lifestyle publishing and a 24 hour business news streaming channel.Today's episode of the Unmade podcast was edited by Abe's audio.TranscriptTim Burrowes:I'm talking today to the founder and CEO of the biggest Australian media company that you've probably never heard of. Jag Sanger is the boss of The Market Herald, who surprised the market by announcing that they were buying Gumtree, Carsguide and Autotrader. The move makes them a big player in the classified advertising space. The Market Herald itself is a publication focusing on business news in both written and video form. Tim Burrowes:They've got big ambitions including a new weekly national business newspaper and a 24-hour business channel. The company also owns the gossipy investor forum, Hot Copper. I began by asking Jag how the company got to this point.Jag Sanger:Well, thank you. That's a good question. Right now we're at about 110 people split between Australia and Canada. I think one of the reasons why we're somewhat under the radar is in Australia, we're based in Perth, which is perhaps not known as a hotbed of media, and in Canada we're based in Vancouver.Jag Sanger:I think one of the things that has happened, and it hasn't been a deliberate plan on our part, is that because we've built an audience which is in Australia and it's in Vancouver, but it's also... Sorry in Canada, but it's also very much a global audience and we're building some activities which are outside of Australia, people haven't noticed who we are. In Nielsen always though, as a finance play, we've always been number one for impressions.Jag Sanger:We always are delighted about the success of our legacy competitor, the AFR. I think because there is a misunderstanding sometimes of business media, people don't quite understand that we're here, but we're here and we're growing very fast.Tim Burrowes:Well, in a moment we'll talk about The Market Herald now and let's talk about the wider portfolio as well. You're also... I'm not sure if the right phrase is to be owner of a community, but let's say it is. You're also the owner of probably the best-known finance community in Hot Copper. How do you think about that within the portfolio?Jag Sanger:Sure. I think this is a very important part of our journey and a very important part of how we think media organisations are evolving. If we look at how media business has worked, that once upon a time you would have, let's say a newspaper and then you would have classifieds and then by accident you had a community. Classifieds made all the money, community were people who sent you letters and your reason for being was the front page.Jag Sanger:We are that almost in opposite. We have built digital communities. Here in Australia, Hot Copper is easily the largest community for stock market investors. In Canada, Stockhouse is easily the largest community for stock market investors as well, so we own two of the largest communities. We're in that process of acquiring classifieds. We're bucking the trend there. It's a very important part of our business, and the punchline is that we will be releasing broadsheet national business newspapers, in this country and in other countries.Jag Sanger:It will be the first launch of a national business newspaper in this country since what? 1962. There's only two national newspapers in this country. We hope to be the third. This community is incredibly important for us because, one, it gives us readers, it allows us to turn some of the economics of journalism on its head and I'm happy to talk about how that works.Jag Sanger:But it's where we find out what people want to read, we want to find out what people want to view, and that community is a source of petabytes of data for us, which drives our data-led journalism.Tim Burrowes:Well, there's several interesting things there that I'll try and unpack, particularly the launch of a news master head in print form I think you're saying. Let's just talk for a moment about The Market Herald and that model because I'm amused with your labeling the AFR as your legacy competitor but fair enough. How do you think about your publishing ethos for The Market Herald?Jag Sanger:Well, firstly, just to talk about the Financial Review, I used to work for Fairfax. I used to run media and strategy there, a huge affection for the AFR and all its people and as they write about us often I suspect that we're forever in their thoughts as well, so we love to bits.Tim Burrowes:You're referring there to your occasional appearances in the Rear Window column of the AFR.Jag Sanger:You know one day I'll break out of Rear Window and they'll celebrate what we're doing somewhere else in the book and it'll be a happy day for us all. But no, no, we like them and we think they're doing good work. In terms of The Market Herald, just repeat the question. What was the question for The Market Herald?Tim Burrowes:Yeah. The Market Herald, what's your publishing ethos for The Market Herald?Jag Sanger:Sure. One of the things that we think is really important as a news outlet and as a media proposition in a world which is very noisy, with many audiences and huge fragmentation, all the stuff that we know, is to have a very, very clear sense of who your reader or viewer is to understand why they want to read and view you and then make a very, very quick decision, are you in the utility news business or are you in the must-know news business?Jag Sanger:We think utility users is going to a handful of publishers worldwide. There'll be this global giant, but in this must-read world, what we do is help people make decisions in a short period of time without all the information with a financial consequence and we give them that information quickly. Our classic reader is a... And to be horribly gendered for a second, a 55-year-old man who wants to buy a $10,000 worth of Telstra stock. Should I do it? Should I not do it?Jag Sanger:In that moment, we provide the information to them. But again, to be horribly gendered, the other kind of buyer we have is an equally intelligent and often smarter 25-year-old woman who's thinking about spending 10 grand on a used Chanel handbag. She also has information needs, she also needs to know in real time and we serve both those audiences.Jag Sanger:By giving people information they need when they're in state, and this is a very specific language that we use, we're ultimately a data business, when we track this degree of almost psychological arousal for why they must know, we are there and that's what The Market Herald is about.Tim Burrowes:This is both in the written word and in video?Jag Sanger:Absolutely. I think video is very interesting for us. We are easily one of the largest standalone streamers in this country of broadcast quality content. We are running at around nine to 11 million streams a month here in Australia and elsewhere. To understand how people consume media, how they consume video, how they consume the written word, that's something we spend a lot of time in actually working out but that's what we get from the communities we own.Tim Burrowes:Now, something you just mentioned was that you plan on launching a financial broad sheet, which was new information for me. I probably missed an announcement at some point. What is your plan there?Jag Sanger:Sure. We said this right from the beginning that we consider ourselves a newspaper and that we consider there is a viable business model for something we think is as beautiful and as amazing as a newspaper. We think as a product, as a cultural artefact, as a revenue stream, as a reason for being, it's really important to us and it's something we will be launching soon.Tim Burrowes:That's as a daily offering?Jag Sanger:No. I think if you look at the way the business meter is running around the world, it is let's say a Monday through Thursday digital offer, which is what most even print newspapers are doing. Then the weekend offer, which is a very interesting revenue earner and a very different proposition at the weekend for most of the big business press, that will be in print.Jag Sanger:It will be something which will have the cover mounts and the inserts that you have in traditional business news but the two will complement each other. We think a business audience at the weekend looks, feels, consumes differently and we'll serve them as well.Tim Burrowes:This will be available nationally?Jag Sanger:It will be available nationally. We're working out our print runs and our plans right now. We've been talking about this several times and I think it's an important part of the portfolio that we have. We believe here in Australia, we're already number one for online finance news. We are easily number one for business finance, TV streaming news and print is an amazing complement to both of them.Tim Burrowes:Fascinating. Last question on that one, have you yet set a cover price?Jag Sanger:It's a very interesting series of conversations that we're having. All I can say is it will definitely be at a premium.Tim Burrowes:Okay. Now, I suppose one of the other things which interests me about the business model for your portfolio is that some of the business model includes taking effectively shares in some of your advertising clients as they grow their businesses. How does that side of things work?Jag Sanger:There's two ways to look at it. We have a small amount of what exactly what say News Corp does or Seven West does, which is contract. You want to buy X, well, we'll do it in this way. Some of it is that kind of conversation.Tim Burrowes:This for instance would be like where Seven West ventures had stake in Airtasker for instance?Jag Sanger:Correct. They had a stake in Airtasker, they had a stake in... Or they've recently taken a stake in CarExpert, which is a property which we admire greatly and we do some things differently to that but we are kind of in that space. Very similar to that model and it's something that the contra deals people have been doing since the '50s. We get that. We do some of that as well.Jag Sanger:The other thing that we do is because we have a large business audience, one of the areas which we focus on and we see some of our competitors moving into it as well and we think we have different propositions is to provide an opportunity for listed companies and wealth brands to speak to affluent audiences. Now, for these businesses, often which they're smaller, they can be private or they can be listed, we allow them to pay their fees or their cost to ours for billings in stock.Jag Sanger:We don't manage these portfolios. It's not held as a way of making money, just simply a cash flow mechanism for smaller businesses. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose and every time we're indifferent because it's not about making money on those portfolios, it's just simply a way of reaching different kinds of advertisers who may not yet have funds but who we believe in.Tim Burrowes:Presumably some of this content that you then create for these people is what... The phrase has gone out of fashion a bit, but would've previous been called advertorial or native advertising. How do you ensure the independence of your general reporting on business versus your coverage of those clients?Jag Sanger:One of the things that we do here, which is really interesting is our editorial team and our newsroom, they do not know what is a paying client and what isn't. That's the first thing. The second, when it comes to native, advertorial and sponsored, one of the things that we are almost religiously fixated on is if it's sponsored, it says sponsored at the top in 12-point font, it's orange and it's clear that it's sponsored. Jag Sanger:Our word of sponsored is if we have been paid for it or if there's been any degree of editorial sign-off from a client, then it says sponsored. What we don't do is to do what, for example, Forbes do where I think there is potentially an opportunity to... or a situation where you may begin to devalue some of your trust where sponsored is called something else.Jag Sanger:What we don't do is use the word special report, which again, some of our peers do and what we absolutely don't do, which is what some of our other competitors do, which is to barely mention it at all. The way that we do it is to be very much on the sunny side of the street. We do work with clients, we do advertorial and native sponsorship, but it's say sponsored if it's sponsored.Tim Burrowes:Well, you're about to make, certainly from where I'm sitting, looks like the biggest move in the history of the company so far, which is acquiring Gumtree, Carsguide, Autotrader. Why?Jag Sanger:I think there's a handful of reasons. First of all, the prescription we had for the business media or any kind of media, how it was is you had the front of the... Let's just take a newspaper. You have the front of the book, which is where your reputation sits. You have the back page, which is sports, which is where your readers sit because it's entertainment. But somewhere towards the back you had those traditional rivers of gold, you had those classified sections which paid for the whole shooting match. Jag Sanger:All journalism has always been sponsored, but usually it was sponsored by small ads for cars and houses and jobs. Well known to everybody, everybody knows this, but over the last 10, 20, 25 years, those classified sections have migrated out of newspapers and they become standalone businesses by themselves. You have the very interesting situation where you take for example Nine in this country, which is a $4 billion business-Tim Burrowes:Well, 3.5 these days. They've not had a good couple of weeks.Jag Sanger:I think there are some travails for everybody, but I think we like to go with four. You then look at the largest real estate listing site, the largest car site, the largest job site, and they have an aggregate valuation of $40 billion plus, 10 times bigger than the largest media business. They own no journalists. From our perspective, the largest general classified site in this country is Gumtree. It's a brand which 90% of this country knows. Jag Sanger:There's a degree of affection and warmth to that brand and to build something of that scale and reach would cost us hundreds of millions of dollars. The first thing is we're back in classifieds and we're back in classifieds with a vengeance. Number two, the opportunity to build other products around that audience, especially in terms of streaming video, especially transactional streaming video are huge.Jag Sanger:Great announcement from the news I think this week or last week about in-video commerce and that's something that we are probably going to be natural leaders in. Then the final thing is it gives us scale. Instead of reaching a million, a million and a half, typically male, typically wealth, typically eastern states, we've now got an audience which is almost one in two economically active adults in this country. Jag Sanger:We think we have great editorial opportunities with that and it gives us classifieds, it gives us what we need structurally and it gives us huge reach. That's why we did it.Tim Burrowes:Obviously that plays you into a couple of classified verticals. Are there others you'd be interested in acquiring or launching into? I guess I'm thinking about jobs in real estate, which are obviously lucrative but also quite competitive.Jag Sanger:That's a really good question. I think there are one or two categories where we are very, very well-positioned, and one of those is autos. Against Carsales who we admire and who we like and who we know very well, against Carsales, we now have similar traffic. Over recent years, the business... This is the Gumtree business, has consolidated the second, third and fourth largest competitor to Carsales. One of those is Carsguide, which I was on the board of, and we know it very well and we think we have a red hot chance in cars.Jag Sanger:To put this in context, we've got similar traffic for private party, cars, people selling their own cars. We're bigger than Carsales. For some aspects of dealer, we're kind of at the similar level. Some of the things structurally we're in possibly a better position for... Carsales is a $6/7 billion business so we think there's a huge amount of opportunity there. Jag Sanger:For some other areas, I'm not sure if the brand travels naturally, so we won't push it, but because we're number one in general classifieds, we actually aggregate several thousand categories and within those categories there are always some gems and we'll put our time and effort into those.Tim Burrowes:Now, you're also looking to play yourself into the, I suppose, consumer lifestyle space with the launch of Market Herald Fancy. How are you thinking about that?Jag Sanger:If you look at how business media used to work, and this is the Wall Street Journals, the New York Times, the Financial Times, let's say the AFR here, if you pick up the newspaper on a Friday or a Saturday, the book will have 48 pages, 52 pages, and it will have maybe two or three ads. We like to think that business newspapers took the ads out to make them easier to read. Jag Sanger:But on a Saturday or a Sunday, that same book will have three inserts in it and there will be 74/76 pages and they will be 60% full page, full colour, glossy and they're carrying ads for high ticket consumer, high-engagement but infrequent purchases. It's travel and jewellery and luxury and all that kind of thing. Fancy is in the same vein of that, probably the closest comp would probably be How To Spend It, which is from the Financial Times. How To Spend It is now probably 30% of the EBIT of the entire Financial Times business. Jag Sanger:If you look at the Wall Street Journal, they have Penta, if you look at... Sorry, yeah, they have Penta, the New York Times has the T Magazine. It's very similar. It's a way of selling product and introducing very, very affluent audiences which are hard to reach, to high-end brands. That's something we're doing.Tim Burrowes:Now, you are also looking ever more closely at the streaming space as well, 24 hours streaming with your ambitions for The Market Herald with TMH One. How will you go about that?Jag Sanger:One of the things that we do very well is... And this is something that we talk about and we're very open about and is very much hidden in plain sight, is we've created a different kind of multi-platform journalism and everybody says that, but our newsrooms look different, they act different and they're run different. We begin at the plumbing layer. We are ultimately plumbers. We have built and plumbed a different kind of newsroom, not hired for a different kind of newsroom.Jag Sanger:We're multiplatform from the beginning. Our workflows editorially link into our news gathering and production for video. Our video streaming, we're one of the largest streaming publishers in Asia Pacific. Certainly we're told that by our streaming partners and we built our own play out. What that basically means is we can produce high quality broadcast quality content. We're not terrestrial, but we can do it maybe at 20% of the cost of terrestrial.Jag Sanger:Now, that ability to take that infrastructure and apply it to different kinds of business and then lifestyle programming absolutely is something that we're focused on and is something we'll be talking about more in the next few months. We've committed to launching a streaming channel called TMH One. We're definitely on track and we look forward to getting that out of the tracks very soon.Tim Burrowes:Would you see that as a potential competitor to the likes of Ausbiz for instance?Jag Sanger:I think, Kylie, we have a huge affection and time for. I think that she's-Tim Burrowes:She's Kylie Merritt me who runs Ausbiz?Jag Sanger:Correct. Yeah. I think, look, it's very interesting. Most of the business TV experiments in this country have failed. If you look at CNN Digital, which it was touted as being one of the biggest changes to CNN for many, many years. They spent two years on it, they spent $300 million and they pulled it after six weeks. If you look at the failed experiments in the UK right now, which have been GB News and a handful of others.Tim Burrowes:Well, in defense of GB News, they are beginning to find an audience now, I think.Jag Sanger:You are correct, there are some programs and some slots which have more than zero views, which was a challenge for them for some time. I give you that. They have got at least one view for most of their slots now. Took a while. I think that we've learned a lot from those failed experiments and I think that that model which was embodied in so many people, which was a terrestrial workflow but somehow tweaked for streaming, we don't believe that works. We think a ground-up integrated workflow is the way to do it.Tim Burrowes:Presumably the rise of connected TVs is one of the factors that makes this the timely moment to do so.Jag Sanger:I think that the opportunity for connected TV is both much greater than people think, but will take much longer to get there. I think that the ability to wrap an idea of programmatic TV, which is how advertisers think about connected TV or always on TV or TV everywhere, doesn't quite match the reality of how people engage with that content. Jag Sanger:One of the really interesting opportunities and realities of business television on big screens, especially streaming business television, is more business TV is walked past in lobbies than watched in seats. We're there. We're thinking about it closely. We have learned a lot from the failed experiments of many of the other terrestrial to streaming formats and we hopefully will get it right and we're going to find out very soon, but we're very confident.Tim Burrowes:You're raising something like $27 million at the moment from your existing shareholders. I noticed there's a slight delay in getting that stock back up and trading on the ASX, certainly as we're talking. I think it was about now we were expecting, but maybe there'll be another week's delay or so. What's the reason for that change in timings?Jag Sanger:First of all, the rights... Sorry, the rights issue was incredibly well supported. We have had all of our existing shareholders take it up, especially institutional shareholders. We'll be announcing who some of those are very soon, which will be very interesting because some of them move past certain thresholds. There was the unfortunate death of a monarch this week, which doesn't happen often and that has delayed our timings. Jag Sanger:Then there's this big kicking and jumping game that happens in Victoria. For those two reasons, the timings were pushed out very slightly but we are hugely pleased by how successful the raising was. There are a number of other things that we have to do to finance this transaction but everything is on track.Tim Burrowes:Now, the organisation has a turnover approaching 30 million. The normalised EBITDA I seem to remember as being about 5 or 6 million. In your last annual report, current debt was about 7 million. Usually the markets like the ratio of the debt to be below the EBITDA. After the raising, where are you expecting your debt to sit?Jag Sanger:I think that we put forward a pro forma in our raising documents and we expect to be about $120-ish million revenue. We expect to be at around 20 million dollars EBITDA. Excuse me. We're not giving guidance on either. We are raising debt and there's a number of different things that will come into play there. It's also worth saying that typically for a media business in the growth phase that we're in and we're growing incredibly quickly each year, the ratio of debt to our market cap is often more significant. Jag Sanger:It'd be fair to say that we are somewhat undervalued at this moment. We're very conscious of that, and the reason for that is that we're very tightly held. One of the things that's happened in this rights issue is most of our shareholders... Well, nearly all of our additional investments come from existing shareholders, which means there's not a lot of stock in the market. For all kinds of reasons, as we grow that will change, our valuation will change.Jag Sanger:Clearly we're not making any forward-looking statements, but I think a rerate would possibly be on the card at some point. At that point we do things differently.Tim Burrowes:Let's talk a little bit more about your background. You've touched on some of this already. You actually found your way into the media with ITV, which is the biggest commercial broadcaster in the UK, back in 1989, which would've been before it was one ITV I guess. What was it that interested you in media in the first place?Jag Sanger:That I think is really interesting. First of all, LWT is I think one of the most interesting broadcasters in the world at the time, and certainly was. It was absolutely that kind of stepping stone between this post-war Reithian public service and the brave new world of selling things. There are so many innovations that happened there that a lot of traditional TV around the world learnt from what happened at LWT but nobody's heard about LWT because it's such a long time ago because I'm so old.Tim Burrowes:London Weekend Television.Jag Sanger:Once upon a time you only saw it at weekends. No, I was incredibly fortunate at that time to get a great job, which was carrying bags and getting people's tea and all that kind of thing. But to me it was actually quite fascinating because I remember so vividly at that time, I earned the grand sum of I think about, I don't know, a few hundred pounds a week, and 30 years later a runner in Central London still earns 300 pounds a week, so it's changed and it hasn't.Tim Burrowes:You then went through cable television and also consulting with McKinsey and later with PwC and along the way, as you've already mentioned, two years at Fairfax, which I think was 2006 to 2008, which was probably when things there were at the most panicked and desperate as the newspaper model went away. What did you learn from that?Jag Sanger:Well, look, if I think and reflect on all of those experiences, I began to work first in probably the world's most significant and interesting broadcast, which doesn't exist anymore. Then I worked at Videotron, which was the most important European cable business, which doesn't exist anymore. Then of course CableTel which literally consolidated to European Cable that doesn't exist anymore. Then I came here and worked a bit for Fairfax, which doesn't exist anymore.Jag Sanger:Your conclusion could be you're a desperately unlucky kind of guy, Jag, which would be one conclusion, or I've seen a lot of things and we kind of know what works and what doesn't work and hopefully we're applying some of those lessons.Tim Burrowes:Without giving any forward-looking guidance, what is your take on the economic outlook for media generally at the moment?Jag Sanger:I think that one of the really interesting things is the growth of the streamers and the decline of the streamers, the way that audiences are going to continue to fragment, but media won't care. Then the really interesting opportunity in business media, and clearly I'm talking my own book because we're in business media. We think the growth and the decline of the streamers is that the magnificence of Netflix and then that short period of existential land grab for anybody grossly distorted production around the world.Jag Sanger:We can see that tide flowing out and it will change a lot of things very quickly. Fragmentation of audience, no one's actually going to care because it's as fragmented as it's going to get. There's enough micro audiences and smart people will realise that there's a difference between utility. Everything will be everywhere at the same time and super, super niche and the super, super niche will thrive. Jag Sanger:Then with business, one of the things that we're very conscious of is we attract in large numbers some of the most affluent, influential, engaged, curious and hard to reach audiences on the planet and unlocking that, getting closer to transactional outcomes means good business programming, coverage news will always attract an audience and that audience is more valuable than people think.Tim Burrowes:Just finally for The Market Herald obviously you're doing the big acquisitions now, Gumtree, Carsguide and Autotrader, is that likely to be it for the short and medium term in terms of acquisitions or do you see more down the track as well?Jag Sanger:If you look at my LinkedIn profile, you will see that I say I'm an M&A guy in media, so I would assume that we will do more on both and this is a platform transaction, which as we publicly said, gives us the opportunity and hopefully the right to do more going forward.Tim Burrowes:Look, and I did say it was the last question, but I have thought of just one more actually, which is inspired by you being the M&A guy. I'd love to know what you do think about that wider media landscape on why these big mergers haven't happened yet. Because it felt like two years ago, maybe even just prior to the pandemic, everything was set for some of the big beasts to come together. Has that, well changed or are we still going to see that, do you think?Jag Sanger:Look, I think there's probably two big reasons. Number one is the history of outside in M&A in media is not good. Let's take Australia for a second. If you look at Nine, if you look at Ten, look at Bauer, the winner was the seller. I think that it's an interesting opportunity to better reflect on some of the reasons why. The second is when you look at the shifting priority of non-financial strategic buyers, it's very different.Jag Sanger:Media is not a fast-growth business to some of these people unless you do things very differently. That then means that the future will be driven very much by non-trade financial buyers and those guys are going to be much more operationally focused. They'll look a lot more like we do and we think that that's the kind of player which will begin to consolidate some of these big beasts.Tim Burrowes:Jag, thank you very much indeed for your time.Jag Sanger:No, I appreciate it.

When Stockhouse Editorial last caught up with Green River Gold Corp. (CCR) (CSE.CCR, Forum) and its CEO Perry Little last December, the company was, like so many others, adjusting to doing business in a COVID-19 world but at the same time keeping busy with a series of new property acquisitions, partnerships, and M&A’s. Founded in the summer of 2017, Quesnel, BC-based Green River Gold Corp. is a publicly-traded mineral exploration company that has a controlling interest in a wide variety of projects in this historic gold producing region. In addition to exploring its highly prospective hard rock gold property in the historic Barkerville area of B.C., Green River rents placer claims to placer gold miners for cash rent, in lieu of a royalty. The Company also sells mining supplies and equipment to placer miners from its 6,000 square foot facility also located in Quesnel. The Company is even a limited partner in a partnership that purchases raw placer gold directly from miners. In this intriguing metals & mining podcast, Stockhouse Media’s Dave Jackson was rejoined by Mr. Little to get investors and company shareholders up-to-date on the latest and greatest hits from CCR. TRANSCRIPT BELOW: SH: As I alluded to the intro, it’s been a busy last six months for CCR and things look to be ramping up big time in the Cariboo this summer. Can you give us an update on what’s been happening with Green River Gold? PL: Hi Dave. It is nice to be back. We have had a very busy stretch, actually going back over a year now, to about the time of the first podcast we did. We have moved the ball forward on every aspect of the business over that time….and we have a lot of aspects. We are closing our $700,000 financing this week as well. It was originally set at $500,000 but we had a pleasant surprise recently with some sudden interest out of Europe and we were oversubscribed. A German newsletter writer has picked up on the story and is covering us for the German, Swiss and Austrian markets. It is good to be noticed. SH: Perry, you’ve just announced commencement of the U-A-V-mag airborne drone geophysics survey on its Fontaine Lode Gold Project. These kind of geo surveys don’t come cheap. So what’s the high-end potential of what lies beneath surface here? PL: Well, as you know, we really took our time, and we were very deliberate with the acquisition and staking of that property. In my days as a stockbroker, I had followed the Barkerville gold story for over 15 years and I had also been following our other neighbour, Omineca mining with their Wingdam project, for a long time. I was quite familiar with the area before we started getting serious looking for property in 2017. It wasn’t until March 2019 that we finally made the acquisition of the core part of the property and staked all of the surrounding ground that we wanted. In total we have about 90 square kilometres of hard rock claims that are contiguous to the Barkerville Gold Mines property. Our timing was a little lucky. One month after we closed on the acquisition, Osisko took over Barkerville Gold Mines and began to fast track the Barkerville property to production. That brought some serious capital to the neighbourhood and things really heated up. Omineca staked a bunch of additional property shortly after that and both companies have been moving forward quickly with exploration and development. Our property is bookended by Osisko and Omineca. Osisko’s project has an indicated resource of 3.2 million ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 2.72 million ounces of gold. We are definitely in a good neighbourhood and we got in before the prices went up. Geologically speaking, the Fontaine property straddles an 18-kilometre length of the Quesnel, Barkerville and Slide Mountain terranes. Between the early 1970’s and early 1990’’s, sporadic work was carried out on the property, consisting of prospecting and sampling bedrock and overlying soil horizons. Several showings with anomalous gold and silver values were identified as a result of this work. The project has not really seen some of the modern exploration techniques. We should get the results of the UAV-MAG geophysics survey within a few weeks. The survey will cover 67 square kilometres with 1,500-line kilometres with 50 metre spacing. The drones can fly at treetop level to give exceptional detail. We expect that this will help us to identify high priority drill targets for an anticipated drill program. We are very excited to see the survey results in a few short weeks. We will be announcing our 2021 surface and near-surface exploration programs for the property shortly. SH: In a recent Stockhouse article, you detailed how – with renewed exploration – CCR is now the at the epicentre of the original Cariboo gold rush. How so? PL: The original Cariboo Gold Rush started in 1860 and was centred around Barkerville which is only a few kilometres from our Fontaine Project. At its peak in the 1860’s and 1870’s, Barkerville was one of the largest communities in Western North America. Historic gold production in the Cariboo since the original gold rush has been about 3.8 million ounces, roughly half of that from placer deposits and half from lode deposits. Placer and hard rock activity are both picking up again. Our business model allows us to benefit from the increased levels of placer activity while searching for the big lode gold score. There is a lot going on in the area again, for the first time in decades really. Osisko’s appearance on the scene late in 2019 has sparked interest in the Cariboo. Omineca is actively drilling on the other side of us as well. I believe it is the beginning of a new gold rush in the area. Much of the Cariboo has not really been explored using modern exploration techniques. The old-timers got the easy-to-reach placer gold but did not have the technology to go deeper or to explore as effectively for lode gold. There is a lot to be discovered yet. The sources of the placer gold found on many of the numerous creeks and rivers in the Cariboo have yet to be located. The hunt is on. SH: Perry, the Company looks set for strong growth in 2021. How are you placed to expand operations? PL: This initial Fontaine exploration is just the start of what we plan to do with that property, but we have several other irons in the fire as well. When we acquired the Fontaine project, we were aware of some interesting nickel showings on a portion of the property. Recent developments have highlighted that potential and we will have more to say about that over the next few weeks. In February we announced the acquisition of the 1,214-hectare Kymar Silver Project near Invermere B.C., and we just announced our initial exploration plans for Kymar for this Summer. It has some interesting historical production, and we are excited to start work on that one as well. As you know, we are more than just an exploration company. We got started on a number of different gold-related business ventures over the past couple of years and they are all expanding this year. SH: That brings me back to what I had mentioned earlier that the company really has developed a one-of-kind business model in the metals & mining space. Can you tell our investor audience some of the inherent benefits in it? PL: Sure Dave. I followed and invested in a lot of junior mining companies over a couple of decades as a stockbroker. One of the issues that most junior miners face is the constant need to raise financing to pay for exploration, and the dilution that comes with it. From the beginning, I looked to find businesses related to gold mining that could generate cash flow to offset some or hopefully all of that reliance on the often-fickle capital markets. So far, we have started several businesses that service the hundreds of placer miners that are active in the Cariboo. We retail placer mining supplies, and we also sell larger placer mining equipment, much of which is manufactured by a related private company right in our shared building. Our building is located in Quesnel, in the heart of the Cariboo district and an easy commute from most of our mining properties. We are a Limited Partner in a partnership which purchases raw placer gold from the local miners and sells it to refiners and other end users. We also provide consulting and permitting services to the local placer mining community. Those businesses allow us to maintain a talented local workforce and give us year-round access to our Cariboo properties from just down the road. Our exploration costs are reduced by having local geological expertise and a local labour force. Ultimately, the idea is to generate enough cash flow from our other businesses to fund much of our exploration costs internally. SH: Part of your business model is really unique in the mining space – acquire and develop placer mining claims and then leasing them out. Can you explain this in detail to our audience? PL: In simple terms, we are a placer mining company that will never do any placer mining. Think of it as a modified royalty model applied to placer gold mining. Most placer mines are small, mom and pop operations that are chronically underfunded. We have 24 square kilometres of placer mining claims and we have a number of claims that are permitted and ready to mine. Learning from our own experience of placer mining through a private company, we came up with a model that works to allows placer miners to get mining with less start-up cost. It also gives Green River access to safe cash flows. We rent out the placer claims for a monthly cash rent based on expected gold recoveries and the placer miners take the exploration risk and develop the claims. We put up the reclamation bond. The miner saves the up-front cost of purchasing a claim and putting up the bond. We maintain ownership and get the benefit of the development work done by the renters and any exploration success that they have. It is similar in many ways to land development, except that in our case, we acquire the land, permit it, and somebody else pays us to do the development. The amount of rent we receive is by far the lesser part of the benefit we receive. The increase in the value of the mining property as it gets turned into an operating mine, from a piece of raw forest, is the main benefit. If the miner is successful in discovering economic quantities of placer gold, the value of the claim will go up even more. We tend to own blocks of claims in the same vicinity so any mining success will push up the value of the proximate claims as well. Any money spent by the miner exploring or producing on our claims also extends the expiration date on the claims without us having to spend any money on assessment work. It works for the renter and it works for us. SH: It would be remiss of me not to mention your stock has had been on a bit of a roller coaster ride over the last 12 months. What can you tell our investor audience regarding the current valuation of your stock and why you think it’s a good buy right now? PL: With a little over 54 million shares outstanding, we currently have a market capitalization of less than $4 million. For that price, investors are getting our highly prospective 90 square kilometre Fontaine lode gold project, which is right next to a gold mine that is expected to be in production in 2023. They also get 24 square kilometres of placer gold claims, a retail business, a stake in a gold trading enterprise, our Quesnel Nickel Project, and our Kymar Silver Project. We also have a 6,000 square foot combined office, retail, and manufacturing building that serves as home-base for all our businesses. We have local employees and consultants who live within an easy daily commute of all our Cariboo properties. All that for less than $4 million, and we are just getting started. We have a lot of other ideas in the works. For more information on the company and investment opportunities in Green River Gold Corp., visit their website at www.greenrivergold.ca.

Tom welcomes back Robert Kientz, the editor, and publisher of Gold Silver Pros. Robert discusses how silver market buying has changed dramatically since the beginning of the pandemic. As economies have started to pick up and inflation has been flowing into the broader commodity complex. SLV has admitted that rampant physical demand nearly caused them to run out of silver. Retail sales have been very high for the past few months, primarily due to the Silver Reddit movement. People are moving away from derivatives and into physical silver. There are few good alternatives to silver in electronics, and there may come a day where we start to recycle landfills. Silver is also a byproduct at most mines, and therefore, the supply will remain relatively thin while demand increases. We no longer have the stockpiles we once had, and silver will remain a necessity for industry. He explains why industrial silver demand is inelastic. If you look at the global short positions in commodities, you will see that gold and silver have the largest positions. If the monetary metals rise too high, the central banking system becomes at risk. From an industrial perspective, there are also reasons to keep silver at low prices. Robert discusses the various cracks in the system and how they are pointing to stress. Lease rates, backwardation, premiums are all indicative of something happening behind the scene. Robert as a former auditor, sees a lot of red flags in the gold and silver markets. Don't assume anything when looking at details and question everything. Commodity markets have a sordid history going back over a hundred years. He discusses Basel III along with central bank plans for digital currencies. The plans for a great reset of the monetary system include removing cash. Negative interest rates allow central banks to tax deposits, and they can drain liquidity as necessary, which amounts to a wealth tax on labor. The repo market has not been fixed, and research published shows these markets have been involved in multiple crises, including 2008. Since debt grows faster than money, math dictates that it can't be fixed. Something has to give soon.

There’s been a lot of buzz on Stockhouse about the vigorous renewal of major mining operations going on in a prolific, but underexplored region of British Columbia. And one junior explorer thinks it may have found gold, copper, silver and nickel deposits that they “believe have the potential for a world-class mineral discovery.” Metallis Resources Inc. (TSX-V.MTS, OTC: MTLFF, FSE: 0CVM) is a Vancouver-based junior resource company focused on the exploration of copper and high-grade gold at its 100%-owned Kirkham Property, located near Stewart B.C., in the historic and prolific Golden Triangle in the province’s northwest region. In this lively and informative podcast, Stockhouse Media’s Dave Jackson was joined by Peter Oates, Manager of Corporate Communications, to talk about some of Metallis’s recent exciting news from their exploration project, the property’s location near other major discoveries in the immediate area, and the company’s future plans.
It’s been a busy and productive last few months for the cannabis industry’s only true super-state operator. And as reported by Stockhouse back in August, this Company continues to make big waves in some of North America’s biggest markets. Cannabis company Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (RWB) (CSE.RWB, OTC:TDRYD, Forum) went public on the CSE in June 2020 and has struck several deals since then, including acquiring licensing rights to the iconic High Times brand in Michigan, Illinois, and Florida, in June. A month later, RWB exercised out an option to acquire Pharma Co – a deal which would give the Company ten dispensaries in Michigan and eight more in various stages of development, as well multiple grow facilities. Then last month, Red White & Bloom closed the acquisition of the Platinum Vape Group of California-based companies, whose products are sold at more 700 retailers in Michigan, California, and Oklahoma. When combined with RWB’s 3.6 million square foot Illinois greenhouse that’s licensed to grow hemp, you have a healthy set of assets. In this lively and informative podcast, Stockhouse Media’s Dave Jackson was joined by Red White and Bloom’s Chairman and CEO Brad Rogers to talk all things Red White & Bloom. SH: First off, let’s talk about the difference between super-state operations and multi-state operations. What’s the distinction and how does being ‘SUPER’ play into your expansion plans? BR: Well, super is better than multi. I would think just because of what we saw was you know, it was a land grab across multiple States and there was a premium on, in the markets for the most States with the most stakes in the ground. And really that made no sense to us in terms of how to run a business. And so, you know, critical mass is where it's at for us. And, you know, with critical mass, you become a, you become super, you know, I mean, that, that was we, we needed to redefine what the value there, what in the definition of superstate operator versus multi-state operator, and really set ourselves apart and say, you know what, we're going deep, wherever we go, we're going critical. Wherever we go. You know, one store in 19 States does not make for a great business because you have to manage them all. You have to work with compliance your governance, et cetera. You know, one whim of a regulatory framework change in any state can really put you out of business if you're not on top of it. And so where we wanted to be was really owning a state and really owning the business and, and being able to help shape that business within that state that we're in and our beachhead was Michigan. And so we started there and went critical mass. And so that was one of the starting of what we saw is really redefining MSO into SSL superstate operator. And then of course, as you, as you succinctly said, we went into Illinois with a real strategy there with respect to seeing you know, the hemp bill came through and now, you know, CBD is now a national potential for the United States. And we started there because we were a little bit late to the game in the, in the Illinois market to get a license there for THC, however, we're actively pursuing one right now. And, and being very, very look looking like we're got some traction there as well. So I won't get ahead of myself there. But I think that that's effectively what we wanted to do and it's 3.6 million square feet. So a massive, massive operation. And you know, when that TAC license comes in a 200,000 square foot canopy, we'll do, you know, a very, very nice piece of business. We estimate somewhere around 200 plus million dollars of revenue just in that one facility with no stores and satiate that market and have the ability to do that with really no cap ex out because we've got the infrastructure already. So, you know, a very strategic play in a very critical mass way in Illinois. So we've got a very nice big chunk of business, as you said in Michigan and a very, very high potential business within Illinois and Florida, we're actively working on. Very interesting situation there, which is very exciting for us on top of that as well. So and of course, as you mentioned as well, you know, we get to leverage the high times brand, which is effectively, as far as I'm concerned, the only brand in cannabis around for 46 years, and really has the mind share of the, of, of the, of, of the U S market. And so you know, that's exciting for me. And so I, I hope I answered your question on the superstate. I went deep on it, went long on it, as long as they do a very short question, but that's how we see our business going real critical mass and wherever we go. SH: Red White and Bloom just closed a deal to launch Platinum Vape products in Arizona later this quarter. What more can you tell us about that? BR: Well, it was funny that that deal was in the works prior to us taking buying that company. And so that's with another MSO I would call them or maybe they're, you know, retracting into or scaling up into a refining themselves into an SSL as I understand. But that that's is, is a deal with somebody else. That's in that state utilizing their facilities to be able to actually produce platinum material and use their facilities as a license and distribution channel. So really, really exciting for us to get into that market because as you know rec (recreational-use cannabis) is on the ballot for November, for Arizona and, and man, that's, that's another market that is really insatiable right now. And so, you know, taking platinum into that that market and, and negotiating a high times piece on it on top of it right now, as well, we'll be in we'll be in four plus States with High Times and Platinum Vapes and using their formulations and, and getting, getting you know, distribution within those channels is going to be really, really exciting and, and, and, and, you know, paying out for shareholders for sure. SH: Last month, RWB closed on a 25-million-dollar bought-deal to finance M-and-A activity and operations. What does financing like this mean in terms of support for your company? BR: Oh, look, I mean, there's, there's so many opportunities right now in terms of what's available in the States. I mean, there's a lot of predatory opportunities right now for us. But you know, the 25 million was actually a $15 million race. There was 40 million in the book way over subscribed and we took 25. And so that was the result of the, of the high demand oversubscription and, and, and real, real, clearly some, some demand for the, for the name and the stock and of course where the value was for the people that got into it. You know, you're, you really understand what's going on when you, when you really have a look at the markets that we're in and, and see what the potential is there for those markets. And so that money obviously will go a very, very long way in getting us you know, that much more fortified in in the States that we're in and super gets super rare. So yeah, so that's effectively the 25 million was a very successful race. You know, you can always go out and get more, but we're, we run our companies very, very lean. We spend it like it's ours, we're very judicious with our capital. And clearly when you look at the PV deal it's a very big win for both of us, and it's a very, very good deal for red, white and bloom. And we're very, very excited about that. And that was effectively what that raise was to be able to get that over the line and really solidify the business there. SH: The Company has solid revenue in the bank. How do you feel your financial performance stacks up to initial forecasts, as well as when compared to how other companies are doing in the market as a whole? BR: Yeah, so, so the way the deal was structured, and Michigan was unique. And that's why you don't see other big players in that space right now. What we did was RWB was an investment co that invested in a license down there. And so that's the way we structured it. And so we have a put call on that, and unfortunately we can't report those revenues to date right now with, with our investee, but they're significant because when you look at you know, what's going on in the market down there, we have we, we have our infrastructure really generating a lot of business down there. And so you know, for, for us to be releasing the results that we had I would call that a speck of sand on the beach to what is really going on. And there's a lot more there. And once we close the foot call, which it's I've, I've, I've done the foot call, so that's been exercised. So we're just going through the final stages of that now to pull our investee under our wing and be able to re post those results. So we've got platinum vapes now and then we'll have our investee and then and then we've got the Illinois facility that's doing a very big chunk of business right now on the CBD hemp side. So you know, those three assets really are, are, are, are performing and growing like a week old pun intended. SH: There’s an upcoming catalyst for your business around your core asset in Michigan that’s been in the works for the past six months, and you expect to be closing this transaction soon. Can you offer an update on this? BR: Yeah, so, like I said, the put, the foot call has been exercise. And right now we're just going through the compliance pieces to be good corporate citizens and show that we're, you know, the people that are coming in to this operation, to the regulator that we're, we're, we're good corporate citizens, and we're able to run a good business and be compliant to their regulations. And so all that information is in now and, and they've got it. And we're just going through the process right now of final stages. What's called a pre-qualification. And once we're pre-qualified, then we're able to actually fully exercise the foot call and bring our best D under, under our wing and start reporting all their revenues on our books. So that's from, from what I understand a very, very short time away a couple of weeks as a matter of fact. So you know, from, from what I get and so really looking forward to pulling that in and being able to report. So that's effectively the, the update on that on that situation. So it's been a long time coming. We fortified the business up until this point and we put the call in and now, now we're just, it's a waiting game with the regulator to get approved and should be very short period of time. SH: Can you run us through the company’s plan with rebranding your stores as ‘High Times’ stores and the exclusive licensing agreement to use that same name for branded products and delivery? BR: Sure. Yeah. So look, I mean, as I said before, I mean, High Times is just such a, such a real house, Mindshare a winner in the market. And, you know, my litmus test for, for a brand awareness is, you know, you shake somebody's awake in the middle of the night and you say tide, they say detergent. They say Snickers, they say chocolate bar, and you say high times they say weed. And so, you know, that to me is, is really where high time sits in the markets. Very captive audience, very aware market in Michigan, specifically where the biggest cannabis cup is as a matter of fact it's bigger than any other state, they hold cannabis cups in. So you know, that is, is, is well into the works. We're, we're assessing that out right now. We're also doing products as well. So we're doing, we'll, we'll be doing high times vapes, high times, flower, high times you know, all those pieces. And so that, you know, complimentary is just more of a compliment to you know, what the high times brand is beyond that, of what our brick and mortar stores can be. So we'll have distribution with high times products as well. So that's one more piece that we're able to drill down that much further in, beyond out of Michigan. We've got it in Illinois, and we've also got it in in Florida. So we don't have to open stores, nor do we have to do you know, anything to that nature or that degree in terms of cap ex out in Illinois and or Florida for the moment we can go in with products. So that's one more piece of the strategy that we're executing on right now as well with the high tens brand SH: Looking ahead six months to a year down the road, what do you see for the future of Red White and Bloom Brands? BR: Oh, man. I mean, this is embryonic, this is the end of prohibition. I mean, what did, what did Daniels look like before Jack Daniels was Jack Daniels? I mean, you know, that's the exciting part for me and I, couldn't be more excited about, you know, what the potential of this business holds, especially in the United States where there's, there's real fundamentals, there's massive commerce, there's so much to be done and so much to be had down there in terms of taking advantage of opportunities and, you know, market share. No one is there, there's a couple of dominant players, but there's so much room to become you know, top three it's, it's, it's crazy. And so, you know, we've had a far shorter run in the States than, than our peers but you know, effectively a year and a half. And when our results come out, it'll be very, very pleasantly surprising most of the market, including our shareholders. And so you know, and, and the upside to that is, you know, being public and having that currency to be able to go and do more MNA, more acquisitions, just grow to the degree we can and take advantage of this market. It's just so darn exciting. I hope, I hope I succinctly articulated myself over my exuberance. SH: Finally, Brad, how can people get in touch with the company to find out more? BR: So, yeah, so look, I mean, we've got on our website red, white bloom dot com. We've got an investor section. We've got our, our current deck up there for people to go and look at. We also have you know, a very friendly IRR team that is more than happy to answer any questions anybody has. So you know, I, I implore everybody to go there, check out the website, look at what we're doing, get updated see what's going on with the, you know, the platinum vapes brand and the high time situation. And what's going on in Michigan, Illinois, and, you know, subsequently Florida and all the other markets that we're in. So please go check it out.

Tom welcomes a new guest Robert Kientz who is the editor and publisher of Gold Silver Pros. He explains how futures markets are supposed to work as a mechanism to protect producers and users by hedging. However, these markets have morphed into something quite different as they are now massive paper speculation markets. He defines the meanings of eligible and registered along with open interest, volume, and settlement. He says, "The problem with the CME website is that it is difficult to match up the numbers." They only keep a few days of public records, and for more data, you have to pay a lot. The CME group does not provide any formal accounting statements that you would expect from a company. It's impossible to prove their data one way or the other. Back in April, the CME Group dropped a couple of bombshells in a document about position limits. These statements show a shift in their criteria for eligible metals by fifty percent. This document was released a few days after they reassured investors that they have the metals. Anyone with metals on the Comex should be concerned by these statements appearance in a relatively obscure document. They have recently doubled the number of suppliers from where they can source gold from, seemingly by weakening their standards. The CME Group is not auditing the exchanges; they are only approving the facilities where metals are stored. He discusses a document from Yale Law that details why these commodity rules exist in the first place, which is due to corruption issues in the past. There was a crisis of confidence in the 1970s, and we still have one today. The CFTC was created because of a lack of confidence in the market participants ability to self-regulate. Where is the CFTC today? The COT report on shorts for silver has been ten times the amount of global annual production. Why, over a few months, do we see ten times annual production hedged. How many of these shorts are naked and how over-leveraged are these markets? He believes a lot of market participants do not have confidence that the metal exists. Shadow contracts permit same-day metal delivery, essentially turning these "future" markets into a spot market for immediate physical. They might run out of gold and silver by December, and we could see a fundamental change in the way metal prices are discovered worldwide.

In this Patreon-funded special episode, Kirk sits down with his former high school band director Janis Stockhouse to talk about her life as a music educator. Janis started teaching at North high school in Bloomington, Indiana, in the early 1980s. It was a time when "jazz education" as a concept was still a relatively new thing. She retired 38 years later, having grown the North band program into a well-known Midwest institution, winning countless awards at festivals around the world and regularly turning out graduates who would go on to become professional musicians, as well as many others who would simply have a lifelong love of music. On this episode she tells the story of starting out at North and developing the program, along with her thoughts on how to get students to practice, which composers she prefers for student groups, women in jazz, funding for the arts, and some good old-fashioned album recommendations.

Building a business is hard, particularly when growing revenue depends on the staff needed to recognize that revenue. When growth is fundamentally tied to scale—as it is in service-based businesses—market cycles and other factors can create serious challenges. For instance, what happens when your enterprise becomes the hot commodity? How do you manage through meteoric growth without compromising quality? And when revenue drops, how do you protect morale and preserve the company’s culture through the hard choices of downscaling? As a three-time company co-founder, Ben West has lived through the booms and downturns of the past decades. Here he shares stories and lessons from his long experience in growing businesses and steering them through the unpredictable economic landscape.

My guest today is Jeff Berwick, Founder of www.StockHouse.com, Founder of The Dollar Vigilante, Host of Anarchast Podcast and creator of the largest Anarchist conference Anarchapulco. What you are going to LEARN in this episode: What is was like to be a Digital Entrepreneur during the 90’s tech bubble Why Jeff started The Dollar Vigilante and what it’s purpose is Why working “crappy” jobs is better than going to high school How Bitcoin and blockchains are changing the way that digital communities are being created Why Anarchists should become entrepreneurs A lot of us are just now learning about and trying to become digital entrepreneurs, but my guest Jeff Berwick has been one for over 20 years. Back in the 90’s, while working at a bank, he created the website www.StockHouse.com which had ~20,000 subscribers. The site was basically the MarketWatch.com of Canada. After growing to 250 employees in 12 countries, Jeff experienced the Tech Bubble crash and found himself with only 12 employees all in Canada. After reading The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, Jeff decided to sell StockHouse.com and travel the world to find economic truths. He had figured out that the government’s money (aka fiat money) was a fraud and a ponzi scheme and dedicated his life to helping others see this truth. In 2011, Jeff was introduced to Bitcoin and it changed his life. Not only was Bitcoin a global currency, it was also not controlled by a nation state and was limited in supply. Jeff quickly realized that this mean the Freedom of Money could once again be had by the general populous. He created a successful economic and investing newsletter called The Dollar Vigilante to help others understand the fraud of paper currency. Since then, Jeff has created the Anarchast podcast as well as the “world’s largest Anarchist Conference” in Anarchapulco (where I will be speaking in Feb 2017).

In this episode we welcome dollarvigilante.com founder Jeff Berwick back to the show and discuss his recent experience with Ibogaine. Jeff Berwick is an Anarcho-Capitalist. Libertarian. Freedom fighter against mankind’s two biggest enemies, the State and the Central Banks. Jeff Berwick is the founder of The Dollar Vigilante, CEO of TDV Media & Services and host of the popular video podcast, Anarchast. Jeff is a prominent speaker at many of the world’s freedom, investment and gold conferences including his own, Anarchapulco, as well as regularly in the media including CNBC, Bloomberg and Fox Business. Jeff’s background in the financial markets dates back to his founding of Canada’s largest financial website, Stockhouse.com, in 1994. In the late ‘90s the company expanded worldwide into 8 different countries and had 250 employees and a market capitalization of $240 million USD at the peak of the “tech bubble”. To this day more than a million investors use Stockhouse.com for investment information every month. Jeff was the CEO from 1994 until 2002 when he sold the company. Afterwards, Berwick went forth to live on and travel the world by sailboat but sank his boat in a storm off the coast of El Salvador. After being saved clinging to his surfboard with nothing but a pair of surfing shorts left of all his material possessions he decided to “live nowhere” and travel the world as spontaneously as possible with one overarching goal: See and understand the world with his own eyes, not through the lens of the media. He went on to visit nearly 100 countries over five years and did and saw things that no education could ever teach. He met and spoke with a plethora of amazing people, from self-made billionaires to some of the brightest minds in finance – as well as entrepreneurs from a broad range of backgrounds and locations from tech companies in southern China to resource developers in Thailand, Russia and Chile. He also read everything he could find on how the world really works… politically and financially. A pursuit he continues to this day. That education led him to become one of the biggest proponents of the Permanent Traveler/Prior Taxpayer (PT) Theory. He has since started numerous businesses including TDV Offshore and TDV Wealth Management to help others internationalize their assets. He also founded TDV Passports in 2009, although he turned over control to his partner in 2013, to help people get foreign residencies and citizenships. He expatriated, long ago from his country of birth, Canada, and considers himself a citizen of the world. He has lived in numerous locales since including Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Acapulco, Mexico. https://www.dollarvigilante.com
