Dear Readers,
I’m excited to invite you to a rare live discussion that you absolutely won't want to miss.
Tom Dyson, the brilliant Investment Director at Bonner Private Research, will be joining Matt Smith for a live discussion about "The Preparation" – Doug Casey and Matt Smith's revolutionary vision for what young men should do instead of going to college.
You're invited to join them this Monday at 10:00 AM Eastern on Substack Live for what promises to be a fascinating conversation.
Who Is Tom Dyson?
Tom Dyson is one of the sharpest thinkers you'll come across. As an experienced investment professional, he has a unique way of combining smart market analysis with unconventional ideas about education and preparing for an uncertain world.
What sets Tom apart is that he's actually lived "The Preparation" philosophy himself. He's been deeply influenced by Doug Casey's thinking for nearly two decades - ever since Doug first planted the homeschooling seed during a car journey across Paraguay in 2007. Since then, Tom has homeschooled his own children, incorporating Doug's educational philosophy and studying the works of von Mises, Thomas Sowell, and other thinkers Doug recommended. His son Dusty is now turning 18 and, according to him, represents the perfect candidate for "The Preparation" program.
Tom rarely does live discussions like this, so it's a great chance to hear from someone who's not only influenced many investors and thinkers, but has also put this educational approach into practice with his own family.
