"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world — no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” - Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States

The future of the economy is unclear and changes are happening so fast now that it’s hard to keep up. Understanding the history of the economy including the origins of the federal reserve is a good place to start gaining an understanding of how we’ve come to where we are today.

Peter Ratnikov is here to talk about the past, present and future in terms of the federal reserve and cryptocurrencies. He’s produced a documentary called Crypto Life, which examines crypto in its truest form, and includes interviews with relevant tech-industry experts, executives, traders, criminals, and more.

“We have to be compassionate as conservatives. We have to show that we care what people are going through.”

In business, your message needs to be aimed at people who have an acute problem that needs to be solved. This same principle applies to politics and there are powerful examples of this from the last several decades. The Honourable Tony Clement came into politics in his mid-teens, when free choice and free markets were being threatened by the spread of communism, before the fall of the Soviet Union. As a member of the conservative party and minister of health and industry, Tony has always worked to protect individual freedom from big government. Tony believes that big government is now on the rise again.

Expert action steps:

1. Never give up. It’s about how you step up and face adversity.

2. Hope is not a strategy. When you have goals in mind, you have to know how you’re going to get things done.

3. Have grace in your life. Be understanding. Be compassionate. Power is good but love and compassion are even more important.

4. Go online and register as a conservative at conservative.ca.

“You can’t do it alone but you gotta do it by yourself.”

At the end of the day, you’re the one who takes each gruelling step toward your goals. But you’ll get there faster the more you learn from mentors, coaches, your competition and other relevant influences in your personal and business life.

Don Bradley is an author who’s partly inspired by his 10 years of service with the US Army, where he flew Apache helicopters and was deployed to Afghanistan as an air troop commander. Later he became a special agent in an FBI swat team. Along the way, he was always writing, pushing himself past his limits and doubts and facing rejection when it came. Through the process, he met some invaluable people who encouraged him to keep going and showed him the way. All he had to do was keep going. Don has written two books as part of the Tom Clancy, ‘Jack Ryan Junior Novel series, Target Acquired and Zero Hour and has started his own thriller series, Matt Drake, including, Without Sanction, Outside Man and Hostile Intent, to be released on May 3rd.

Expert action steps:

1. Know what you’re selling and whom you’re selling to. If you don’t know what your audience expects, it’s going to be hard for you to craft a product that they want to buy.

2. Get better at your craft. Push your boundaries. Dissect what your competition is doing well and improve on it.

3. Show up every day and do the work it takes to succeed.

“All business is personal.” - Napolean Billou

“We can actually build the entire financial system in a decentralized manner.”

Many aspects of society have reached the extreme and are bound to turn around. We’re seeing this in the financial systems of the world. Superpowers and giants like the banks, Google and Amazon to name a few, have risen to the extremes of wealth and power and have been suppressing the freedoms of the individual more and more. Now, at the turning point, a new decentralized system is quickly forming and leaders are stepping up to guide us on the journey. Ollie El-Gorr is one of these people. The mission of his company, Freedom Publications, is to empower individual investors to make better investment decisions without having to give a fraction of the returns to a middle-man or huge fees to a large company. Freedom Publications has published 10 educational books aimed at individual investors. There’s also a training program called the Contrarian Crypto Club, helping all ages to navigate crypto investment. Published books include titles like Stock Investing for Beginners: Fantastic Moats and Where to Find Them, The 8-Step Beginner’s Guide to Value Investing, The Only Bitcoin Investing Book You’ll Ever Need, and several others including the recently published The Only Crypto-Currency Investing Book You’ll Ever Need.

You can find all books on Amazon under “Freeman Publications’.

https://freemanpublications.com

Expert action steps:

1. Open an account with a coin-based or any crypto brokerage. Buy $100 worth of bitcoin.

2. Buy the new book, The Only Crypto-Currency Investing Book You’ll Ever Need.

3. Go watch the movie Margin Call. It shows you exactly what all the banks did to lose everyone’s money.
