Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, skills, insight and encouragement you need, to live a rich and meaningful life now, while building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

My name is Joshua Sheets, and today we focus on on the insight because we're going to talk about history.

I'm proud to welcome back to radical personal finance, my friend and coworker Gabriel custodia.

Gabriel, welcome back to Radical Personal Finance.

Joshua, it's a pleasure to be here.

I know that you don't invite too many people these days and I'm very pleased to have connected

with you and a lot of your audience at some of your events and so I know they're

very intelligent people I know they'll enjoy this episode and so yeah glad to be here.

Absolutely yeah we've been working together for a couple of years. You primarily we've done a number of courses that we have

taught and I've recommended your book on privacy. That's what I think you were most well

known for in the beginning and you've recently come out with a new book called privacy and utopia

A history which is completely different than your previous work, which was very practical.

This one is historical and very detailed,

and quite a fascinating and interesting book

because we talk about the history of privacy.

So before we begin with the actual concepts that we're going to talk about, and by the way, just for the audience, here

radical personal finance, I talk about privacy as a useful strategy in the toolbox for various aspects of financial planning.

There are a number of different ways this can be expressed, it can be a tool in the toolbox

for asset protection planning, it can be a tool in the toolbox for asset protection planning.

It can be a tool in the toolbox just for living a low-hassal, low-risk life in many ways.

It can be a tool in the toolbox for protecting you from identity theft and other financial risks and frauds that are very

common. And of course this resonates with me due to my kind of philosophical bent.
