"Vote with your wallet... and starve the parasite." That's Andy Schoonover, founder of CrowdHealth, on this week's Live Free Now Show. His members are Bitcoiners, homeschoolers, home birthers, carnivore folks... people who already walked away from systems that weren't built for them to thrive. Healthcare is one of the most overlooked parallel systems out there. I'm a member myself, and Andy breaks down how 36,000 people are now paying each other's medical bills directly and cutting the insurance cartel out.

📣 Today on Live Free Now I'm joined by Andy Schoonover of CrowdHealth. 11:00 am Central. Most people get handed two broken options. Insurance supposedly protects you from a big bill, though it often doesn't. But by transferring the risk to a third party, it removes any reason for you to care what anything costs. Nobody asks the price. That's a big part of why prices keep climbing. Going uninsured keeps you price conscious, because you're the one paying. But it leaves you exposed if something catastrophic happens. CrowdHealth's bet is you can have both. Community support for the large unexpected costs, with members keeping ownership of their own healthcare decisions. As Andy puts it, putting ownership back with the individual is the only way to bring real consumerism, and real cost reduction, to healthcare. I'm a member. Ryan's a member. My bill usually runs well under $200 a month. Tune in at 11 and bring your questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jfpEjSTE2I (catch the replay at this same link once we wrap up)

Just replace the word AI with the word gun... it's the same thing.

That was Curtis Stone's answer when I asked what he'd say to folks who won't touch AI because it's part of the New World Order. Curtis runs his own AI on a souped-up computer tower in the utility room of his homestead. It's the same thinking behind his four water sources, his gardens and root cellar, his solar and the thousand liters of diesel for the generator. Having agency over intelligence is just one more piece of his off-grid system. The critics say you're feeding the machine. Curtis says that's exactly why he owns his own... the same reason you own your own firearms and don't expect the government to protect you. Curtis will be breaking this down in person at Exit and Build 6, November 5th through the 8th at Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, Texas. Come build with us: https://exitandbuild.com

Every two to four years we're told this guy's gonna save us. "He's our guy this time!" And every time, the centralized, coercive, corrupt systems stay exactly where they are. So I quit raging against the machine. No more yelling at government buildings or waiting on politicians to do the right thing. That's what Exit and Build means. You exit the system and build new systems... or build new systems so you can exit the old ones. In my view, it's the only way we leave a lasting legacy of liberty... one where future generations aren't victims of the machinations of predatory, satanic pedophiles hell-bent on dominating the world. Exit and Build 6... November 5-8 at Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, Texas. Come build with us: https://exitandbuild.com

The contest is on, and submissions are already coming in! I'm fired up to see you guys getting out there, striking up conversations, and getting vendors to accept silver, goldbacks, and crypto. This is how the counter-economy gets built... one conversation at a time. If you haven't jumped in yet, here's what you need to do: Go to a real farmer's market or local brick and mortar shop. Get the vendor to accept silver, goldbacks, or crypto (Monero and Zano especially, Bitcoin works too). Film the conversation and send it to johnbush@livefree.academy. 🥇 1st place: $250 in Live Free Academy Liberty Dollar coins 🥈 2nd place: $100 in Goldbacks Creativity and a good story win, but we're not picky. Get your submission in. Come build with us.

"We actually have to start being happy, healthy, and free… that's exactly what they don't want." DAW brought the fire at yesterday's Exit and Build Virtual Summit. He talked about how CNN, Fox, and even social media drag you into the doom and gloom frequency, until you start believing whatever they're planning is inevitable. It's not inevitable. We fight back by becoming the opposite of the low-vibe, control freak maniacs running the show. He even gave a shout-out to our Bastrop council fight in there 🔥 The full summit is still up on my YouTube channel right now. If you had the free pass and missed the live stream, this is your shot… but I'm taking it down early tomorrow afternoon. VIP folks, no rush. We're editing everything and uploading it to Kajabi with your bonuses so you can watch at your leisure. Catch the replay before it comes down: https://www.youtube.com/live/9Uum10Li6B4

What a day, guys... thank you to everyone who joined us for the Exit and Build Virtual Summit yesterday! We talked community, inner authority, and using digital tools we control. And the more digital and artificial the world gets, the more we need to get together in real life... hugging, high-fiving, dancing, mixing it up (spreading a few germs, if you still believe in those 😂). You can't go it alone. The other freedom people are out there, I promise... you just have to get out from behind the computer and go find them, even when it's uncomfortable. We're all made in the image of our Creator, with a creative capacity a lot of people forgot they had. It's time we remember. Come remember with us this November at Mollie's place, Sovereignty Ranch, for Exit and Build 6. It's gonna be a November to remember. 🎟️: https://courses.livefree.academy/exit-and-build-6

Q&A with the Sacred Honor Fellowship crew Bring your questions: https://courses.livefree.academy/exit-and-build-6-virtual-summit-3

🔻 The Virtual Block Party is live!! 🎉🎉 Join us: https://courses.livefree.academy/exit-and-build-6-virtual-summit-3

Noon TODAY (10/3), Central. Curtis Stone is keynoting on a community he's building from scratch in Central America, plus sovereign off-grid AI. The whole Sacred Honor crew is doing full Q&A instead of their usual spiel. David Wolfe kicks it off. Live music the whole way through. Free. If you still haven't registered, here's your link: https://courses.livefree.academy/exit-and-build-6-virtual-summit-3 And if you can't make it live, register anyway. On the next page you'll see the VIP pass, which gets you lifetime access to the replays plus my entire course on building freedom relationships as a bonus. Bring a drink, even if it's a sparkling water or iced tea. It's a virtual block party. See you in there.

📣 Tomorrow's the big day!! I'm super excited we're hosting another virtual summit, and super stoked that Exit & Build 6 is right around the corner. I'd be lying if I told you the pressure wasn't building and I'm not feeling some overwhelm. This morning Ryan dropped a whole big to-do list of giant things on me, and I'm dealing with some stuff in my personal life on top of it. But I couldn't help reflecting on one of my favorite lines of scripture. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So we keep pressing on. And listen, if you can make it to Exit & Build 6 in person, you've got to come. I guarantee you it's going to be transformational. You'll leave a different person than the one who showed up. If you're feeling stagnant, stuck, static, this is your chance to break out of a hypnotic rhythm and dive into your definite purpose. That's what it's all about. But I recognize that for some of you it's out of reach right now, or you've already got plans. Which is exactly why we carry the message through these virtual summits. 🗓 Exit & Build Virtual Summit 3 goes live tomorrow, 12:00 pm Central. 🤝🏼 This one's about community. And guys, there's power in the people. This is what we built our brand on. Yeah, it's decentralized technology. Yeah, it's crypto. Yeah, it's homesteading and land. But it has always been about connecting with other freedom people so we can execute on our goals and build the parallel society together, based on our values. Peace. Freedom. Decentralization. Bodily autonomy. You name it. I'm looking forward to this entire cast of speakers. Curtis Stone is keynoting. Curtis has become a really good friend of mine, and we're thrilled to have him down in Bandera in November. He's sharing about the community project he's building in Central America, about the work he's done over many years of activism, and he's been diving deep into sovereign AI lately. This isn't ChatGPT or Claude. This is off-the-grid AI, and he is gung-ho about it. I can tell from every message he sends me how pumped he is. The entire Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship crew is joining us for a panel. And here's what's different this time. We've never been able to get through all the Q&A because they do their spiel first. So this round they're doing a tiny spiel and then we're going full Q&A. I'm making sure we get through a ton of your questions. And we're kicking the whole thing off with the one and only David "Avocado" Wolfe. A true legend in this movement and quite the gem. That guy's a badass. He's got such good energy and he speaks so authoritatively that some of what he says sounds radical, but it's the truth. Even when it earns me a strike on my YouTube channel and I can't stream for a week. Thankfully that's passed now. Your free pass gets you: - Five hours of talks, roundtables, and live Q&A with freedom builders living in community right now - Live music throughout, because this is a block party and not another livestream - An open chat full of people in your state and region - A chance to win free Zano, but only if you show up live and stick around - A free two-hour training from my course How To Win Freedom Friends, on the funnel method for turning strangers into a tight-knit inner circle. Sent to your inbox the moment you register. And if you can't make it live, worry not. Register anyway and on the next page you can pick up a super affordable VIP pass. That gets you lifetime access to every replay, full transcripts, Freedom Checklists with the top action steps from each session, the complete two-part How To Win Freedom Friends and Activate People masterclass, which we have never given away before, and three more powerful sessions from past Exit & Build summits. This is a one-time live experience. Tomorrow (10/3) at noon Central, and then it's gone. Register free here: https://courses.livefree.academy/exit-and-build-6-virtual-summit-3

The moment you start meeting up with other freedom people, you see there are others who think like you do. You're not alone and isolated. From there, the small actions start adding up. You dig a garden in the backyard. You convince a vendor at the local farmer's market to accept precious metals or crypto. And you start to see you have a lot more control over your life than the predator class and the propaganda machine would like you to believe. The more of us that realize that, the better... which is exactly why this Saturday's Exit and Build Virtual Summit 3 is all about community. October 3rd. Register here: https://courses.livefree.academy/exit-and-build-6-virtual-summit-3

My farmer is still my farmer. The rollback erased a Zano transaction, but I'll keep buying his meat with whatever alternative currency makes sense next time... Monero, a silver ounce, you name it. Most of us know we need community. Finding freedom-minded people near you who've got your back is the hard part. That's what Exit and Build Virtual Summit 3 is all about. This Saturday, October 3rd, from 12 to 5 PM Central. It's free to join, there will be crypto giveaways, and we've got David Avocado Wolfe, Curtis Stone, Mike Cobb from ECI, the whole Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship crew, and Prezence dropping some music. Grab your spot: https://courses.livefree.academy/exit-and-build-6-virtual-summit-3

A month ago I paid a farmer's market vendor $130 in Zano for some regeneratively raised meat. I already ate the sausage. The chicken drumsticks are in my freezer as we speak. After the rollback, that transaction never happened... the Zano came back to me. I'm still a fan of the project and the folks behind it, and I think they made the best call they could. But I owe you guys the full picture. That includes what this revealed about how decentralized the network really is, and where I'm pointing people for private transactions from here.
