Meet other anarcho-capitalists, market-anarchists etc for an enjoyable monthly lunch. For once, get to talk politics at lunch without ruining the party :) This group is purposefully narrow.

This is not a statement about your worth as a human being, we ju …

MY story. My name is Val Kleyman. I have been a part-time Real Estate Investor for 5 of years now. I own a number of rental properties. My credit score is mid 700's and I have a full-time job elsewhere (my credibility is just like yours).

I am not a financial advisor, an accountant or a lawyer, just someone that does this hand’s on an …

We all have the capacity to oppress and dominate others at the same time that we are being oppressed and dominated. To borrow a concept from bell hooks, our cultural values stem from white supremacist, imperialist, capitalist, patriarchal ideologies whereby one group seeks to maintain power by any means necessary.

What is "The Art of Active Networking" and why do we do it? There was a recent article suggesting this staggering statistic: “Given the opportunity, over 70 percent of ALL people are not happy with their job, career or with what they are doing…and given the opportunity would change it!” Seems like a whole lot of people who do not love what they do when they wake up in the morning. With so many people unhappy, searching for jobs, shifting jobs, building their business, practice or consultancy a …
