    The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse | Mike Green & Jeffrey Tucker

    2026/05/04 | 1h 27 mins.
    Mentor Sessions Ep. 067: The Big Lie Masking America’s 50-Year Economic Collapse, Boomers Hoarding All Assets With No Buyers Left, and Why AI Demands Expertise| Michael Green & Jeffrey Tucker

    What if the problem isn't the policy — it's the system itself?

    Michael Green and Jeffrey A. Tucker sit down for a rare, wide-ranging conversation that cuts to the root of what's wrong with modern economics, monetary policy, and the assumptions most people never think to challenge. From the structural shifts that began in the mid-20th century to the invisible architecture of today's financial system, this discussion pulls back the curtain on ideas that mainstream economists refuse to touch.

    In this conversation, you'll learn why participation in the current financial system doesn't equal understanding of it, what economic data from 1950 reveals about where we are today, how the incentives baked into modern money shape behavior at every level of society, why Bitcoin represents a genuine alternative rather than just another asset, and what both Green and Tucker believe must change before any real economic reform is possible. If you've ever felt like the official explanations don't add up — this conversation will give you the framework to understand why.

    "Everything Changes in 5 Years" — Bitcoiners Must Prepare to Escape | Katie Ananina

    2026/05/01 | 57 mins.
    Mentor Sessions Ep. 066: Bitcoiners Are Racing for the Exits, Germany Now Requires Military Approval to Leave the Country, and Why Bitcoin + Passport Portfolio Is Your Life-or-Death Survival Plan | Katie Ananina

    We're 18 years into the Fourth Turning. According to Katie Ananina, founder of Citizen X, that means the next 5 to 7 years will reshape borders, tax regimes, and individual sovereignty in ways most people aren't prepared for. In this conversation, Katie breaks down exactly who is leaving, where they're going, and why the window to act is narrowing fast. Whether you're a Bitcoiner protecting generational wealth, a high-net-worth individual seeking legal tax optimization, or simply someone who wants options — this is the roadmap. You'll learn which jurisdictions are actively welcoming Bitcoin wealth, what a real exit strategy looks like, and the specific mistakes people make when they wait too long to move.

    We’re in the FINAL Phase of the Global Reset (Iran Update) | Simon Dixon

    2026/04/21 | 1h 14 mins.
    Mentor Sessions Ep. 064: The Iran 'War' Is Pure Theater, America's Planned Asset Stripping, and the Final Phase of the Global Reset | Simon Dixon

    The Iran conflict looks like the world is on the brink of World War 3. Simon Dixon says it's a carefully staged negotiation —
    and the real prize isn't territory. It's oil prices, currency agreements, and Bitcoin.

    Simon Dixon returns to break down why the Iran-U.S. standoff is better understood as a theatrical operation run by the
    OPEC and financial industrial complex to transition Iran into a Chinese-led new world order. In this conversation, Simon
    explains how BlackRock's Aladdin algorithmic trading system is being used to manage oil price narratives, why Iran's Bitcoin
    mining operations are a significant leverage point in back-channel negotiations, and how figures like J.D. Vance are being
    positioned for future political roles in this transition. You'll walk away understanding exactly which economic signals to watch
    — energy prices, currency pegs, global equity markets — as leading indicators of how this geopolitical restructuring plays
    out.
