“Thank you for starting the Freedom Files. I revert back to your essays weekly to make sure my free life is on the right track.”

Work & earn online

Travel the world

Save more money

How free are you?

Closed travel routes. More and higher taxes. Forced medical procedures. Frozen bank accounts. Social media censorship. More government regulations.

A lot has happened in the last five years. And most freedom-minded people would say the trend is negative.

But this is general. The question for you is …

Are you more or less free than you were five years ago? 🤔

For millions of people around the world, the answer to that question is a resounding no. What about you?

Are you stuck in a miserable, in-person, 9-to-5 job that feels like jail cell?

Do you work for a boss and a corporation who don’t have your best interests at heart, who raise your salary by 5% every year and think they deserve a pat on the back?

Do you live in a gray, unwalkable city that doesn’t make you feel healthy and happy?

Is your central bank inflating your currency to hell? Are they skyrocketing cost-of-living and prices everywhere you look?

Is it impossible for you to save money?

It’s easy to think there’s no light at the end of the tunnel…

Freedom feels out-of-reach

I can’t find a remote job

I pay way too much in taxes

I don’t know the right location for me

I don’t know how to build income streams

I am a digital nomad but want a homebase

I don’t know how to invest in another country

So that’s why we created the Freedom Files:

To prove to you that, yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel. And we’ll show you how to reach it.

The goals are simple

To help freedom-minded people like you gain control and build the sovereign lifestyle they so desperately crave.

How?

Start an online business

Learn another langauge

Take advantage of geoarbitrage

Move abroad

Establish multiple income streams

Open offshore bank accounts

Get another citizenship

Reduce your tax liability

Become a sovereign individual

“I spoke with James about some residency and citizenship options in Latin America. He made me rethink my goals, and that 60-minute call likely saved me 3 years of time AND $100,000. Thank you, James, for your wisdom. I would’ve been a sad man had I not consulted you.”

“I will say James’s approach is refreshing as so many lean towards the fear mongering directions, which comes off as a sort of travel equivalent of a ‘gold bug. But the Freedom Files is more about optionality and optimism. I appreciate that.“

“I’ve worked 1:1 with James for 3 months now, and he is the same authentic, humble person he is on Twitter. Through all the content he shares, I can feel his drive to change stuff to the better. Sharing personal stories makes him different from a lot people in the crowd.”

“Seeing James live the life he wants in just a few short years has really given me confidence to do the same.”

“I have talked about starting a business nearly my whole life. But with James’s help, I’m actually doing it and seeing results directly from the lessons I learned from him.
His content helped me skip a lot of the early mistakes.”

“I’ve been following Freedom Files for a bit now. And man, I feel more motivated than ever to live the life I wanted to when I was a kid. Thank you, James, for being an inspiration.”

“It feels like this is what James was born to do – help other people like me become free.”
