The most commented on newsletter EVER And the thing you ask me about the MOST in my private DMs is ✔️Elite payment processor connection ✔️ And “middleman” strategy to earn % of deals semi passively Until now I’ve just explained how these things work… but not how to access them yourselves and build your own portfolio over time in a streamlined way Shall I show ya’ll the actual buildout? Or even just curate my list of connections into one place so you don’t have to wait for me to setup an email thread? Comment and let me know!

I’m a bit nervous to share this weeks essay because it’s about Leins… I know I know that sounds boring. But the lessons hit DEEP for anyone getting into investing. And anyone who’s dealing with a legal issue (or potential one). And it teaches us a lot about how to create a solution to a problem that doesn’t even exist. The story is of a Florida “Mogul” who was 100% acting outside of the law. He slowed deals, caused headaches… and made millions from filing incorrect paperwork. You should not copy him, but the story is has so many hidden lessons I’m compelled to share! What do you think, are you guys ready for something like that?

Published: April 26, 2026 Themes, Tags: Founders, Investing, Retirement planning Somewhere along the way of watching grown people, myself included, undermine our true value to grow engagement online by filming ourselves as we walk down the street, with our chins up trying to look as sophisticated as possible and shitty 'trending' music played ontop of it, I recognized one glaring issue: Who wants to do this forever? Even if we've managed to keep our dignity and not employ any, lets call it 'cringe', marketing tactics.. What is our retirement plan, my fellow founders? 👉🏼 The data shows something that successful entrepreneurs absolutely hate to recognize. Most businesses never sell. And most employees have better retirements than founders do. The default founder cycle is so heavily encouraged that it rarely gets questioned (which is why we're talking about it). I've ended up here more than once: Start a business. Revenue begins to climb. Take out just enough to live, then sends the rest straight back into the machine for marketing and growth. On paper, it looks disciplined and feels responsible. In reality, it creates nothing more than a job we control. No wealth and no retirement. A typical owner’s income, net worth, and future all sit inside one active asset — the very thing that depends on their continued effort to survive. The data around this is not subtle. At all. First of all, 95% of Sovereignty readers are 'typical founders'. I mention that as a wake up call so we don't fall for the illusion that this doesn't apply to us. Research from Manta shows that roughly one-third of business owners have no retirement savings plan at all. ...Perhaps no surprise there - we all want to have a big exit, that's our plan A of course! Wells Fargo Bank found that over 50% of business owners 'expect to fund retirement' through selling their company. Which would be reassuring… if it worked. But it almost never does. Data from the Exit Planning Institute shows that as many as 75–80% of businesses never successfully sell.

I have been traveling almost full time since 2019 and a lot of people ask how (and why). And no, it is not because I "location independent-ified my passion"...or whatever that means, lol. It is because I stopped assuming the rules I was handed were the only rules. This week's edition of Sovereignty is the most practical one I have written. 👉🏼 The specific countries, real numbers, and actual steps to accessing lifestyle and tax benefits internationally. The kind of information that usually costs $5,000 to sit in a room and hear someone explain badly. One international option costs only $87 to apply for and can be approved in three weeks. Another one lets you register a company remotely, run your international revenue through it, and legally pay one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU — while spending half the year wherever you want. The third option is where I have watched people completely restructure their financial lives… And the first step does not require leaving your house. If you have ever thought "I should probably look into that" and never did — this edition is for you. For lifestyle.. For taxes.. Or just to know your legal options to live internationally.. This edition helps you get a grip on how free you truly are and provides the exact steps to turning it into reality. JT -- To read the full edition go to the Newsletter Classroom! If it's locked for you join quickly growing "Sovereignty" newsletter and community: helping people think and act, as freely as possible. It's a pay-what-you-want community of highly ambitious and creative thinkers who value freedom and (lesser-known) information. I look forward to hearing your ideas of applying this edition!

Do you enjoy books about learning to control your mind? Miracle of Mind Dynamics has surpassed 99% of the self-help books I've read - and I read.. A lot. Average about 1-2 books per week with high information retention at the same time. I will compare this book to Man's Search For Meaning, arguably, one the most influential books and quoted books of the last 100 years in self-help and philosophy. I am huge fan of Man's Search For Meaning, but upon reading Miracle of Mind Dynamics I prefer this one. It is far more practical in its analysis of the human mind, suffering, and meaning. Frankl gives you a profound existential frame: Suffering is unavoidable. Meaning is what that keeps you alive inside of it. Murphy gives you the actual tools: Here’s how to actually think when you’re inside the suffering so it doesn’t override your nervous system and your future. While Frankl tells you why meaning is important. Murphy tells you how to cultivate the mental conditions that allow meaning, peace, and momentum to emerge. -- Have you read this book?
