Episode Details

Most investors are still building their portfolios for an economic era that's already dead. Joe Withrow announces the inaugural Phoenician League Investment Summit — a free, four-day event running October 6th through 9th, bringing together sixteen independent operators to lay out a complete playbook for building and protecting wealth outside the old sixty-forty model.

The week runs in a deliberate sequence: Day One covers foundations with Paul Rosenberg on the structural shift reshaping the Western world, Marc Tancer of South Florida Bullion on the fundamentals of gold, Wesley Schlemmer on where Bitcoin stands today, and the Remnant Finance team on Infinite Banking. Day Two turns to markets and macro with Tom Dyson and Dan Denning of Bonner Private Research, Nick Giambruno of Financial Underground, and E.B. Tucker, author and editor of The Tucker Letter. Day Three shifts to cash flow — real estate, mortgage notes, royalties, and alternative assets — with Shane Thompson, Jerry Jones, Lance Goldberg, and Mike Fruzzetti. Day Four closes with protection and synthesis: internationalization with Christian Nix, privacy with Glenn and Eric Meder, tax optimization with Neal McSpadden, and Joe's own closing session tying all sixteen sessions into one framework.
