How to Become Competent, Confident, and Dangerous

Thank you to Daniel McAdams' "How to Become Competent, Confident, and Dangerous" with guest Doug Casey @ Lew Rockwell, November 5, 2025.

10:50. We think that online universities, like The Teaching Company [see their website], where the top professors give command performances that you can listen to again and again until you get the data down so that by the time you finish the preparation you should be much better educated in both the Arts and the Sciences and business MBA aspects as well all three things Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Sciences and an MBA program are all tied into this so so that you're quite Confident by finishing this.

But that's not all you want to be a renaissance man part of that is the Roman dictum mens sana in corpore sano, "a healthy mind in a healthy body."  In addition to having a virtuous aspect on life.  So what we've done we've divided the calendar year into 16 quarters, the scholastic 4-year period into 16 quarters.  In each of those quarters, in addition to the academic program, which I've talked about you're going to learn things that are really use.  For instance, you might start out becoming an EMT, an emergency medical technician which you can do at low cost you've trained yourself in a valuable skill which can immediately pay off for instance Maxim my co-author one of the co-authors of the book Matthew's son became nemt and it qualified him to get a job as an EMT on a firefighting team out west he was immediately earning $600 everything was covered per day on a firefighting team that allowed him to save all those months all that money to finance the next part of his education.  What did he do next?
