About Liberty and Leverage

Where foundational principles translate into practical strategies for geographic, financial, and personal freedom.

In 2017, I made a choice that changed everything. Instead of climbing the corporate ladder as a banker in Canada, I decided to leave—in search of something our ancestors would recognize: genuine freedom.

Today, through Grey River, I help others make similar choices.

What This Is About

Most people feel increasingly trapped by systems that were supposed to liberate them. Heavy regulation, financial oppression, limited opportunities. The very societies that pioneered freedom now seem to be systematically restricting it.

But here's what I've learned: in our interconnected world, freedom isn't confined by borders. It's about having options. Living where you choose. Working with whom you choose. Structuring your life around your values, not bureaucratic convenience.

Liberty and Leverage explores how to make this happen—combining timeless principles with modern strategies for geographic arbitrage, financial optimization, and regulatory intelligence.

We'll dive into history to understand how liberty and financial freedom have evolved over time, from ancient Greek city-states to Renaissance merchant republics to today's digital nomads. Because the past holds keys to navigating our present constraints.

For Whom

If you believe individuals should live as they please without excess interference...

If you want to build wealth and independence on your own terms...

If you're ready to take responsibility for your own liberation...

Then you're in the right place.


The torch of liberty has been passed through countless hands across the centuries.

Now it rests in ours.
