  • Google Won’t Save You, A Trust Might: Quit Begging The Public And Start Acting Like A Trustee
    Nov 28 2025

    Send us fan responses!

    Tired of feeling like the public owns your time, your data, and your money? We lay out a direct path from dependency to private control by reframing wealth as a family function instead of a solo hustle. The conversation gets blunt because the stakes are high: if you stay a beneficiary, you wait for handouts; if you become a trustee, you write the rules, document the purpose, and build something that outlives you.

    We start with the mindset shift—private life is common sense, enforced through boundaries and contracts. From there, we break down why family law is private law and how that changes daily choices around education, housing, vehicles, and even the names you use on the record. You’ll learn the trustee’s job description in plain language: control everything and own nothing, keep dealings at arm’s length, and align activities with a written mission. We also unpack substance over form, showing how thoughtful documentation and clear purpose keep your structure credible while avoiding the traps of public debt and public liabilities.

    Then we get practical. We talk family business trusts, ministry structures, and LLC interfaces. We outline how to pair insurance with your trust so capital arrives exactly when your family needs it, and how endowments, archives, and charitable giving strengthen status and legacy. Throughout, we highlight nationality, jurisdiction, and how to stop defaulting into public terms you never wrote. If you’ve wondered how established families preserve power for generations, this is the blueprint—plain, actionable, and tested.

  • Who Owns You: The State, The Family, Or Your Trust
    Nov 21 2025

    Send us fan responses!

    What if the “law” you feel crushed by is mostly contract—and you’ve been signing into it with your words, your paperwork, and your presence? We sit down with Don Kilam to pull apart the threads of child support, court process, and identity, and we follow the paper trail to where power really lives: status, trusts, and the private side of life.

    We start with a hard question: if there’s no injured party, is it a crime—or is it commerce? From there, Don lays out how Title IV, Social Security, and public trust mechanisms shape how child support is enforced. He explains why public vs private isn’t a slogan; it’s a structural decision. Private families operate through trusts, foundations, and contracts they author. Public roles rely on statutes and policies designed for the general welfare. We explore making your name a business, using holding companies, and drafting operating agreements that function like constitutions for your entities.

    The conversation gets tactical. Affidavits, not emotions, move records. Unrebutted statements can become facts. Certified mail matters. Ask for delegation of authority. Keep everything as exhibits. We interrogate jurisdiction signals like flags and titles, discuss how labels can trap you into statuses you didn’t intend, and walk through strategies that have led to case dismissals, reduced exposure, and better protection of income and assets. Don also shares why real wealth is time, health, and people—and why cash, silver, and trustees still matter when systems stall.

    If you’ve felt the system is a costume party you never meant to attend, this is your invitation to change clothes. Learn how to author your contracts, correct your status, and protect your family with practical tools and a clearer map of public vs private.

  • Build Your Family Like A Business
    Nov 14 2025

    Send us fan responses!

    The path out of confusion starts with a simple move: treat your name like a business and your family like an institution. We open the playbook on status correction, private trusts, and the holding-company-over-operating-company stack that separates your life from your liabilities. From 508(c)(1)(A) associations to family trusts that actually govern, we walk through the documents, the minutes, and the benefits that let you stop co-mingling and start building.

    You’ll hear how stipends, fringe benefits, and internal shares can offset housing, vehicles, healthcare, and education without turning every dollar into a tax trap. We unpack promissory notes to move assets into a trust at fair market value, then redeem value later—exactly how corporations do it. We also dig into practical identity tools: affidavits of birth, DS-10, and baptism certificates as alternative proofs accepted by federal processes, plus why the family bible should function as your private ledger for life events. It’s not theory; it’s recordkeeping that stands up.

    On the public-to-private bridge, we highlight grants, first-time homebuyer plays, chamber of commerce workshops, and direct talks with bankers to clean reports and secure financing. We talk courtroom posture, child support tactics, and staying in honor: respond on time, put affidavits on the record, avoid forced contracts, and document everything. The throughline is discipline—clean books, clear roles, and a beneficiary strategy that points to a family trust or charity, not to children directly—so stewardship outlives you.

    If you’re ready to move from public dependency to private legacy—with holding companies, trusts, and documented governance—this conversation gives you the structure and the steps.

  • Stop Letting The Government Babysit Your Legacy
    Nov 7 2025

    Send us fan responses!

    The fastest way to lose your power is to give it away with your signature. We unpack how that happens every day—through forms, licenses, and registrations—and what it takes to reclaim control with private trusts, family covenants, and clear jurisdiction. From the opening beat, we ground the conversation in value-for-value boundaries, the reality that time is a resource, and why your name already functions like a business in the public.

    We walk through the practical effects of operating under a public trust tied to labor, then flip the lens to the private side: contracts, covenants, and family law that predate corporate governance. You’ll hear how to think like a private family, not a public dependent; why nationality and allegiance matter; and how lineage, records, and tribal identity anchor your authority. We explore concrete steps: document your family story, keep internal agreements, and build entities that manage assets, disputes, and succession on your terms. Along the way, we preview our Atlanta training with trust attorneys, credit experts, and private practitioners teaching status correction, 508(c)(1)(a) structures, holding companies, offshore options, and grant strategy.

    Money talk gets real when it meets accounting. We break down why every debt is an account, how GAAP fundamentals protect you, and where contract law intersects with liability assignment, business credit, and lawful tax credits. You’ll leave with a sharper map: when to stay private, when to interface with the public, and how to keep clean books that reflect intent, not chaos. If you’ve felt the gap between hard work and lasting wealth, this conversation connects the dots between structure, status, and legacy.

  • You Only Control What You Create And The Papers You Sign Decide Who Owns You
    Oct 31 2025

    Send us fan responses!

    If every document you flash is a key, which door are you unlocking: private control or public custody? We dive into the uncomfortable idea that “everything is taxes,” exploring how identity, status, and registration route you into the venues that decide your fate. From the first minutes, we challenge the reflex to treat IDs, car titles, and Social Security numbers as neutral tools. Each one announces a capacity, and that capacity carries tax consequences, venue selection, and limits on your options when conflict hits.

    We break down the practical difference between legal title and equitable title and why probate becomes the tollbooth for assets acquired in the public lane. You’ll hear a roadmap for moving more private: structuring family and trust records, choosing identity proofs that align with your intended jurisdiction, and creating the paperwork that demonstrates control because you created it. We unpack how groups like Amish communities rely on baptismal records and family bibles, and we extend that logic to tribal forums, religious courts, and private associations that keep their own membership cards and governance. If you want a jury of your peers, first define “peers” with credible, consistent records.

    Language is a compass, so we pause on terms like attorney, creator, and redemption to show how commerce encodes power into paperwork. If “United States business” is the capacity you adopt when you claim certain statuses, then registration can feel like clocking in as state property. The pivot is simple: decide your status with intent, align your daily tools to that choice, and build continuity your heirs can rely on. This is a candid, no-sugarcoat guide to status, title, and tax positioning, aimed at listeners who want to protect wealth, avoid preventable court entanglements, and pass assets without friction.

  • From Social Security to Sovereignty: Why Private Family Trusts Beat Public Systems
    Oct 24 2025

    Send us fan responses!

    If you think your Social Security number proves ownership, wait until the court calls it “probate.” We walk through how that number ties to a public Sesta Que Vie trust where you enjoy benefits but the state holds legal title—and why that split keeps families stuck in taxes, fees, and delays. The shift is profound yet practical: move from public default to private design with a family trust that you create, fund, and govern, so control lives where your legacy lives.

    We unpack equitable vs legal title using plain language, then connect the dots to wages, licenses, car registrations, and why assets in your legal name flow through probate. From there, we map how trusts function as legal persons, how co‑mingling and the doctrine of merger quietly wreck good plans, and how to structure trusteeship so successors actually lead. We spotlight what the greats get right—family foundations, 508(c)(1)(A) beneficiaries, and disciplined governance—so your last name becomes a durable enterprise rather than a file number.

    You’ll hear a clear pathway: establish a private family trust, fund it with real titles and assignments, train trustees, and route insurance and income with intent. We also cover common codes and terms in context—Sesta Que Vie, SPVs, amalgamation—so you can see how the public system administrates while a private plan controls. If you’re ready to stop being just a beneficiary and start acting like a trustee, this is your blueprint.

  • Stop Being a Sole Trader and Start Building Your Private Record
    Oct 17 2025

    Send us fan responses!

    Ever wondered why some people seem to navigate the financial world with ease while others struggle no matter how hard they work? The answer lies in understanding the powerful distinction between public and private sectors that Don Kilam masterfully unpacks in this eye-opening episode.

    Kilam reveals how we unknowingly operate as "sole traders" in the public sector from birth, creating a legal amalgamation that makes us personally liable for everything associated with our legal names. This corporate structure - built through birth certificates, social security cards, and government IDs - keeps most people trapped in a system they don't fully comprehend.

    The game-changing revelation comes when Kilamexplains that "the private sector creates the public sector" - not the other way around. By establishing your nationality through state allegiance rather than federal citizenship, you position yourself differently within the legal framework. This shift allows you to operate under case law rather than being bound by codes and statutes that limit your financial freedom.

    Particularly fascinating is Kilam's breakdown of how affidavits function as "two-edged swords" in commerce. When properly executed and left unrebutted, these powerful documents stand as truth and become judgments. This explains why creating your own forms rather than filling out government paperwork is essential for maintaining control.

    Drawing from his remarkable journey from homelessness to financial prosperity, Kilam shares practical strategies used by the wealthy elite - from non-grantor trusts that provide bulletproof asset protection to the strategic use of stipends and fringe benefits that cover life necessities while remaining non-taxable. His insights on Nevada LLCs and other private business structures reveal pathways to privacy and tax advantages most people never discover.

    Ready to transform your understanding of money, law, and personal sovereignty? This episode provides the foundational knowledge needed to begin your journey from the public realm of limitations to the private world of true financial freedom.

  • From Birth Certificate to Business: Protecting Your Family - Trust Law Secrets
    Oct 10 2025

    Send us fan responses!

    The veil between personal freedom and government control is thinner than most realize. This eye-opening exploration of trust law and family sovereignty reveals how your birth certificate secretly converted you into corporate property—and how to reclaim your natural rights through proper legal structures.

    When you understand that your name itself is a business entity, everything changes. The speaker walks through precisely how to establish your name as an LLC and create a legitimate business relationship with your children through "doing business as" registrations. This isn't theory or wishful thinking—it's demonstrated with actual filing documents and court victories.

    "As a mother, you have supreme rule over your offspring. As a mother, you are the manufacturer," the speaker explains, revealing how maternal authority can be legally established through proper documentation. But there's a critical warning about the "alter ego doctrine" that has invalidated many well-intentioned attempts at sovereignty since 2022, requiring additional layers of protection through holding companies in states like Nevada, Wyoming, and Delaware.

    The comparison to successful communities like the Amish demonstrates these principles in action—showing how unincorporated contracts and common law agreements create true independence. Similar protections can be achieved through establishing state nationality via oath of allegiance and proper documentation, removing you from federal jurisdiction.

    Looking at how the wealthy protect themselves through family foundations—like Warren Buffett's family using the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation—provides a blueprint for ordinary families to follow. The difference between success and failure lies in proper implementation and understanding the legal foundations these structures rest upon.
