  • RHP#178. Jeremy, Tax Minimisation and Structure Expert
    2025/08/14

    Tax is one of those subjects that still holds a bit of taboo when it comes to discussions with your buddies. We all know we are getting ripped, we just don’t want to admit it out loud, and so we just tolerate what these days seems like ‘daylight robbery.’

    Having spent the good part of 30 years on the road as a Nomad, Jeremy has acquired skills and knowledge that no university could ever teach you.

    He is an expert in achieving sovereignty and helping people maximise their lifestyles with more money in their back pocket.

    Jeremy’s expertise of services, include creating legal tax structures for tax optimisation, or in some scenarios paying zero tax on your earnings.

    Jerz's philosophy underscores that true freedom comes from strategic structures over mere relocation. He warns that lacking a plan is costlier than implementing one.

    His content offers expertise in fostering global independence, asset security and wealth preservation.

    This conversation will leave you wanting to know more….!

  • RHP#176. Liz McConaghy, RAF Chinook Crew Chick and Motivational Speaker
    2025/07/17

    Liz McConaghy, is a special lady that has lived a unique life very unfamiliar to most.

    She joined the Royal Air Force on her 19th birthday and ended up as the longest serving female crewman on the RAF Chinook Fleet.

    At 21, she was the youngest aircrew to deploy to Iraq and was the only female crewman on the Chinook wing for 4 years.

    The toll of 2 deployments to Iraq and 10 deployments to Afghanistan, a messy divorce, and the isolation of Covid, came to a head in 2020 with Liz attempting to end her life.

    Liz has such a high relatability and likability factor because of her authenticity. Fascinating podcast to listen to!

    • Joining RAF at 19 year old
    • Going to the Iraq War at 21 years old
    • What are military bases like in War?

Together with a little help sprinkled in from his right hand man, Sir Richard Branson!

    Hannah Ward, is a special lady trying to tackle the American literacy crisis, with only 60% of American’s being able to read. She is a homeschooling mother and an English teacher who has taught students from preschool to university. She says that parents who read, should teach kids phonics and read out aloud together. As a child, she loved adapting books like Charlotte’s Web into accessible plays with American Sign Language, which sparked the bookworm in her and love for storytelling.
