Hello, everyone. Chris Martinson here of Peak Prosperity with a very special interview for you. I cannot wait to talk with this author of this book called The Great Taking, which we've been reviewing at my website for a while. If you haven't read it, you should. It's something everybody needs to understand. And this is really going to be a real treasure to talk with

our author today. So today we have our special guest here. The Great Taking, David Rogers Webb,

David, thank you so much for making the time. I know you're getting to us a little late your

time over there in Europe, but thank you very much for being part of this program. Can't wait to get

started. Welcome. Chris, thank you for your interest in talking about this.

Well, the book is the great taking, and before we dive into it, and we will, which is really

outlining a lot of layers of

legalese that sort of surround this, this topic of, well, who owns what? And in this case,

I'm talking about financial assets. Before we get there, David, what's your background? You

spent a lot of it in the book, but I just want people to know who we're talking to here and your expertise on the subject.

Yeah. Well, I mean, I guess I'd say if my life had taken a different track, I would have been

a scientist like you. I was pretty good at science when I was, you know, a kid and in high school, and I would

have gone into medicine or, well, that's really the track I was on. But then because of really what

was happening in Cleveland when I was growing up.

I decided I needed to understand what was, how business worked, what was happening there.

And so, you know, my father, my father was an engineer.

You know, one side of my family was medical people and the other side were engineers.

And I would, you know, I used to joke with my wife that I was the black sheep of the family because I just went into business.

So I went to business school and I did a minor in systems analysis, which was basically

computer engineering software and engineering. And I got a subscription of the Wall Street Journal.

I really didn't have anybody to guide me

as to how to do this.
