WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.080 I've been getting a lot of questions this week all around the same theme and that is Neil how do 00:06.080 --> 00:13.360 we best prepare for 2026 what if there's some sort of a collapse a lot of people are asking the same 00:13.360 --> 00:20.780 thing around collapse now whether that's financial or societal or something else I mean I want to 00:20.780 --> 00:27.240 start by saying I don't really see that this year but I do see a lot of displacement and a lot 00:27.240 --> 00:34.340 of shocks as a result of AI and I've actually changed my forecast I've actually brought some 00:34.340 --> 00:41.820 of my forecast forward this week on my private community forecast that people three years ago 00:41.820 --> 00:47.400 said were absolutely crazy you know when I was talking about job displacement especially around 00:47.400 --> 00:53.300 the white color jobs way way before the media was talking about the white color wave as it 00:53.300 --> 00:59.580 I was talking about this a long long time ago in fact I said that if I were going to be training 00:59.580 --> 01:05.440 right now I wouldn't be going to university I'd be going to a college and learning some sort of 01:05.440 --> 01:13.100 skill around like it'd be an electrician or a plumber or a technician or an engineer something 01:13.100 --> 01:19.820 around these things especially around AI and data centers and the energy that's required 01:19.820 --> 01:25.520 I think that's what a lot of people are missing at the moment is that everyone's focused on AI 01:25.520 --> 01:30.140 but they're missing the bigger picture and this is the data centers and they're even missing the 01:30.140 --> 01:34.940 bigger picture from that and that's the energy they just isn't enough energy required and there 01:34.940 --> 01:41.540 aren't enough trades required to actually build a lot of this infrastructure and I just said I'd 01:41.540 --> 01:47.420 brought my forecast forward so before I was really talking about how I thought it would 01:47.420 --> 01:54.380 take up to five years to displace a lot of these jobs and even last year I still thought we were a 01:54.380 --> 01:59.620 couple of you know two to three years away with this displacement but now I've really brought 01:59.620 --> 02:06.780 this forward I genuinely think at the speed of of progress we're seeing there were only 12 to 18 02:06.780 --> 02:13.480 months I'm going to say 18 months now before we can I'm not saying will but can see a massive 02:13.480 --> 02:20.800 displacement of white collar knowledge worker jobs so if you know your job requires you to 02:20.800 --> 02:27.180 think and do brain work I do think that AI is going to be able to do this in about 18 months time 02:27.180 --> 02:33.620 so the middle of 2027 and that's why the first point I'm going to talk around is how I think 02:33.620 --> 02:38.980 it's really important for you to prepare for this future because I don't think the economy 02:38.980 --> 02:46.040 is going to be able to absorb all of the workers faster than they're going to be displaced by AI 02:46.040 --> 02:52.600 and this will cause a lot of real problems in society some serious societal problems I mean 02:52.600 --> 02:57.560 we're already seeing because we're at the end of this fourth turning cycle and that's the 02:57.560 --> 03:02.540 Strauss-Haus model of the fourth turning we're already in this cycle where we've got a 03:02.540 --> 03:11.680 culmination of finance political left versus right military geopolitical there's all sorts of things 03:11.680 --> 03:18.000 happening at the same time energy shocks as well food I think is going to be a crucial one as well 03:18.000 --> 03:24.120 as we move forward so I think the first tip I can give you then on how to prepare is to really 03:24.120 --> 03:29.660 maintain if you've taken any of my programs courses you'll know in the debt annihilation 03:29.660 --> 03:34.620 program for example I always talk about this emergency buffer that you need to have and how 03:34.620 --> 03:40.140 most people just don't have an emergency buffer and typically I would usually say you need about 03:40.140 --> 03:46.500 three months minimum for emergencies but I'm going to say that in this era of how crazy things are 03:46.500 --> 03:51.300 you're going to need a lot more than that it doesn't have to be savings just sat there doing 03:51.300 --> 03:55.920 nothing in an account it can be other assets as well but I really think you need to start 03:55.920 --> 04:01.820 thinking more towards six months or more for some people that might need to be retrained after a job 04:01.820 --> 04:06.860 loss it could be 12 months see I know that sounds extreme but you've really got to start planning 04:06.860 --> 04:13.440 for that now um would I be holding bonds and fix assets government bonds and things no I would 04:13.440 --> 04:19.180 not I've actually sold every single one of these I don't own any of them for any country 04:19.180 --> 04:24.340 because I think we're very close now to what I've been talking about for a number of years 04:24.340 --> 04:33.380 around the dire devaluation of fiat obviously the currency fiat is Latin for let it be done 04:33.380 --> 04:40.380 so it tells you exactly what you need to know about the the currency but I've also reduced my exposure 04:40.380 --> 04:46.060 to kind of more speculative assets I think everyone's piling into AI and I don't think that's the 04:46.060 --> 04:51.200 wrong move I think it's actually quite a good move in some regards but only as part of a 04:51.200 --> 04:55.520 diversified portfolio I think people are really missing though the bigger picture 04:55.520 --> 05:02.400 which is the energy and the materials needed for the data centers but I know that most investors 05:02.400 --> 05:08.020 and forecasters will tell you to pile into the AI stocks but when I see everyone piling in there 05:08.020 --> 05:13.100 I start looking for other avenues and looking at what other people have missed and if you 05:13.100 --> 05:19.180 followed my forecast since what back to 2020 yeah you'll know how those have gone so I've 05:19.180 --> 05:24.500 actually diversified quite heavily in recent years these are things like precious metals 05:24.500 --> 05:32.020 physical gold and silver and property land I mean some of them are more recurring assets I'm 05:32.020 --> 05:37.340 actually getting paid an income and I've even diversified within each asset to make sure that 05:37.340 --> 05:43.160 if the worst case occurs I would still get paid off different assets within that category 05:43.160 --> 05:50.720 I've also reduced my exposure with with the currency as well I now hold bank accounts in 05:50.720 --> 05:57.520 other countries in other currencies and I really think this is important because of a number of 05:57.520 --> 06:02.320 reports that I've seen recently I've shared them with you everything from the digital currencies 06:02.320 --> 06:08.760 some of the outrageous fraud that we saw from governments in other countries Nigeria I think 06:08.760 --> 06:15.320 was probably one of the worst that did it but even the EU is saying that as a result of when they 06:15.320 --> 06:20.320 move over to the new digital currency you'll only be able to hold a small amount and the previous 06:20.320 --> 06:26.340 capital could be destroyed and of course they talked about they modeled bank runs and bank 06:26.340 --> 06:30.300 failures and all sorts of things I don't I just don't even want to get into that I rather 06:30.300 --> 06:34.700 just step out of that in the first place and have different currencies in different accounts 06:34.700 --> 06:40.780 so that I'm diversified I mean even a second residency as you all know I got myself a very 06:40.780 --> 06:47.380 cheap second residency in Thailand and it wasn't just because the residency was cheap I kind of 06:47.380 --> 06:53.520 did a risk analysis of different countries and for me this was incredibly low risk and high 06:53.520 --> 06:59.280 reward one of the highest living standards in the world if you earn a western wage of course 06:59.280 --> 07:03.960 if you don't then obviously not but there are a number of things that you can do very 07:03.960 --> 07:09.740 similar to this to just kind of get yourself prepared now visas are another thing that that 07:09.740 --> 07:14.480 I don't really talk about much on the channel I do in the private community but visas you can get 07:14.480 --> 07:20.380 very very cheap visas my residency visa was only a few hundred pounds you know five hundred 07:20.380 --> 07:27.020 bucks dollars whatever it wasn't a lot at all very simple to get but you've really got to 07:27.020 --> 07:32.040 make a decision based on where you feel comfortable just because I like a certain country 07:32.040 --> 07:36.600 doesn't mean you will so you've really got to decide and think about where you think you'd 07:36.600 --> 07:42.680 most like to go and I do really think you should think about this even before any sort of collapse 07:42.680 --> 07:49.820 whether that comes or not because we are seeing some really serious events ever since 2020 we've 07:49.820 --> 07:55.860 been seeing seeing these sort of serious events emergency measures and governments doing things 07:55.860 --> 08:01.140 that before then you would think were absolutely crazy some of the things that they've done in 08:01.140 --> 08:06.780 recent years but this is becoming normalized now and that's obviously very concerning and by the 08:06.780 --> 08:11.300 way real quick if you're not subscribed to the channel please subscribe to the channel please 08:11.300 --> 08:15.980 click the like button do the usual stuff I do read the comments so I'd love to hear your 08:15.980 --> 08:21.840 thoughts on what I'm saying here share this video with a friend something like that you know 08:22.660 --> 08:27.440 there is a lot of things that you can do look in the description here I always give you 08:27.440 --> 08:33.380 free reports free downloads there's free training some of these trainings are an hour or two long 08:33.380 --> 08:39.480 you know these are completely free for you I just want to help as many people as I possibly can I put 08:39.480 --> 08:45.200 discount codes on my more expensive courses in the description as well so there's a lot 08:45.200 --> 08:50.960 that you can start doing right away but honestly I'd start with that subscribing I cover geopolitical 08:50.960 --> 08:57.900 and finance topics that really matter like these are things that are really important to you and your 08:57.900 --> 09:04.160 family and will save you if if things start to go downhill even faster so let's talk about some more 09:04.160 --> 09:10.400 kind of on the ground things then that you can prepare yourself with and I guess one of them for 09:10.400 --> 09:15.300 me is one of the first things I always look at and that's being an ex-military man here of 09:15.300 --> 09:21.240 course ex-army for 10 years I always look at the the sort of supply chains I start with the basics 09:21.240 --> 09:26.560 I start with water I then move on to food can I get clean water you've seen me promote different 09:26.560 --> 09:32.640 things on the channel before and how you can have clean water at home instead of storing loads 09:32.640 --> 09:38.400 of bottles which just isn't going to work long term I've talked about food and readiness 09:38.400 --> 09:42.920 things like that and make sure you've got the right food and not things are going to expire 09:42.920 --> 09:48.980 after a month okay so we've kind of covered a lot of this over and over again on the channel here 09:48.980 --> 09:55.520 so having that sort of that foundational level of preparedness is important but what about working 09:55.520 --> 10:02.680 well I think it's important to have income streams that are divested from AI or what AI could take 10:02.680 --> 10:08.700 from you and even if you look at a lot of the big companies on the stock markets some of these 10:08.700 --> 10:14.800 tech knowledge-based companies they're reducing employees which is obviously very tragic 10:14.800 --> 10:21.040 what they're building up on is the sort of AIs that do the knowledge work so they're trying to 10:21.040 --> 10:26.200 get ahead of the game and I think it's important that you do the same but even as a side angle 10:26.200 --> 10:30.980 to this then I think it's really important that you are really careful about the information 10:30.980 --> 10:36.820 you receive as well and who you get your information from because what I've seen 10:36.820 --> 10:44.520 ever since 2020 well even before 2020 was media getting even more corrupt it's I think it's probably 10:44.520 --> 10:51.480 the lowest trust at any time right now in the media especially in this current cycle that we're in 10:52.020 --> 10:58.200 levels of government trust they are at record lows right across the western world now there's a 10:58.200 --> 11:04.040 couple of exceptions to that I know but the trust in the government is really really at an all 11:04.040 --> 11:08.980 time low as well and is there any surprise with some of the things that we're seeing we talked 11:08.980 --> 11:14.900 about on Monday what the Dutch government are doing with taxing people on on money they haven't 11:14.900 --> 11:20.540 even made a profit on we you know you look at what's happening in the UK or the taxes you see 11:20.540 --> 11:25.420 what they're doing to the people in the UK cancelling elections and all sorts it's really 11:25.420 --> 11:29.200 terrible what is happening so you've got to be really careful where you get your information 11:29.200 --> 11:35.740 from because there'll be a lot of AI fake news and deep fakes and all the other stuff coming out 11:36.320 --> 11:43.280 very shortly and the media gets called out almost daily on lying and and and faking things which 11:43.280 --> 11:48.940 is why I actually don't get my information from the mainstream media I haven't in a in a long time 11:48.940 --> 11:54.580 and I know a lot of you trust me you get your information from me because I do a ton of research 11:55.500 --> 12:00.000 absolutely hours and hours and hours every single day and I have to check everything to 12:00.000 --> 12:04.260 make sure it's accurate before I bring it to you and I really do think that many of these 12:04.260 --> 12:11.020 Western governments will start implementing more dictatorial measures is that a word dictatorial 12:11.020 --> 12:15.660 I'm I'm running with it anyway I think it is but I do I think they're going to be 12:15.660 --> 12:22.360 implementing some serious measures going down the line censorship and reduction of movement 12:23.000 --> 12:26.920 all sorts of things I think are coming and I think that's going to be on top of 12:26.920 --> 12:33.520 the central bank digital currency rollouts the new digital IDs the the tracking that they're going 12:33.520 --> 12:40.040 to do the debasement of currency the new stimulus which of course creates more inflation I think 12:40.040 --> 12:45.820 that's going to lead to even more wealth taxes as the wealthy start to move from relocate from 12:45.820 --> 12:51.040 one location to another or even one state to another state I think really what we're 12:51.040 --> 12:56.840 going into is a period of volatility and the other warning I want to really give you around this is 12:57.390 --> 13:03.720 from a first-hand experience that I've experienced I've been to over 75 countries around the world 13:03.720 --> 13:10.900 now a lot I know and a lot of those were with the military and one thing I saw personally first 13:10.900 --> 13:16.680 hand was a breakdown one day the government and some other there was some issues financially 13:16.680 --> 13:23.380 government and within I would say the space of when we were sort of warned off in the morning 13:23.380 --> 13:29.120 because I was just part of a very small team in country to sort of be aware of this by the time 13:29.120 --> 13:35.520 we got the warning in the morning it was no later than say 2 p.m. 3 p.m. that afternoon 13:35.520 --> 13:43.680 that the whole thing was just absolutely collapsing and people were looting they were 13:43.680 --> 13:49.480 they were doing very bad things to each other shall we say I think you understand what I mean 13:51.040 --> 13:57.100 theft kicking doors in food water I mean grabbing absolutely anything it was 13:57.680 --> 14:03.400 so crazy that we had to I mean we basically jumped on the heli and got out really really quick 14:03.400 --> 14:07.900 and this is obviously an extreme example of a different country but 14:08.960 --> 14:13.580 you I have people watching from all around the world I think there's probably about 60 14:13.580 --> 14:19.900 countries that that watch me on a sort of weekly basis here so this will probably apply to one of 14:19.900 --> 14:24.840 you at some point or another but just make sure that you're prepared as I always say have a 14:24.840 --> 14:29.760 backup plan and you don't want to be in big cities without a backup plan when all of this 14:29.760 --> 14:35.640 comes down like for example I've shared with you before how I source a lot of my food from 14:35.640 --> 14:42.560 local farms and local growers and alongside that is is good communities so where I live I have very 14:42.560 --> 14:49.820 very good communities there are eight no nine people within the community or who are ex-military 14:49.820 --> 14:55.260 so we're you know we're very trained individuals and I know that if anything ever went down 14:55.260 --> 15:01.400 that we wouldn't really for at least the first year or two have to rely on any sort of 15:01.400 --> 15:06.840 government help or or anything like that now again that's an extreme example this is this is me 15:06.840 --> 15:13.720 but it's important for me to plan and and prepare in this way because this is part of what I do I 15:13.720 --> 15:19.460 help people to prepare for any eventuality and if you're not part of the private community you 15:19.460 --> 15:24.900 can find the the link for that below over on patreon so as well as preparing for all those 15:24.900 --> 15:29.920 things I guess you've got to prepare yourself psychologically as well that's one of the 15:29.920 --> 15:35.420 things that that people usually don't prepare for and if they're not quite strong and resilient 15:35.420 --> 15:41.520 disciplined people then it can be quite tough on those sort of those sort of people so that's 15:41.520 --> 15:49.000 another one but look you also have opportunity in times like this as well for each crisis I've 15:49.000 --> 15:53.840 always looked at that crisis and looked for the opportunity and I've always come out well 15:53.840 --> 15:57.680 on the other side of it and I mean that from various perspective it's not just 15:57.680 --> 16:03.280 investments it's finding those opportunities and and sort of with my entrepreneurial mind 16:03.280 --> 16:08.580 going in after those opportunities as well so to really wrap this up and summarize that 16:08.580 --> 16:15.100 I think it's important for you now to start thinking about what you could do not necessarily 16:15.100 --> 16:23.400 for a 2026 collapse here but what could you do right now that would really help you and put 16:23.400 --> 16:29.700 you in a better position for later on are you just focused on a nine to five grind and saving saving 16:29.700 --> 16:37.200 saving when those savings could be hit and wiped out by well all sorts of things could could hit 16:37.200 --> 16:42.620 that whether it's a cyber attack on the financial system whether it's a digital currency launch 16:43.160 --> 16:46.980 whether it's a debasement of currency I mean there's so many things that could hit it 16:46.980 --> 16:54.700 but are you investing in assets are you buying tangible physical things that will not only survive 16:54.700 --> 17:01.480 but thrive if we do have a major crisis are you in control of your own cash flow well if you're at 17:01.480 --> 17:06.520 a nine to five maybe maybe you're not so that's another thing to think about I really think 17:06.520 --> 17:11.420 the job world is about to change dramatically in the next few years you're going to see some 17:11.420 --> 17:17.260 major changes so I'd start looking ahead of it now rather than waiting for it to hit you 17:17.260 --> 17:23.300 and then I put less trust in the government and the media and more trust in yourself and people 17:23.300 --> 17:29.320 that you honestly follow maybe it's social media people and just kind of I'm not saying me I'm 17:29.320 --> 17:33.620 saying whoever that is for you you know really just follow them listen to what they're doing 17:33.620 --> 17:39.240 and just try and get as much information as possible like I said free reports free trainings 17:39.240 --> 17:45.360 for you just try and get as much as you possibly can from them if you have funds you know private 17:45.360 --> 17:50.920 communities take their courses but I think right now you really need to be preparing as best as you 17:50.920 --> 17:57.420 can for the new world that we're going into thank you so much for watching this video today thank 17:57.420 --> 18:02.220 you for sharing it with someone else that you think is under prepared and subscribing and apart 18:02.220 --> 18:05.920 from that take care god bless and I'll see you on the next video
