When a Dutch conservative visits America, what are his main observations and takeaways? How is the USA different from Europe?

Our guest Ricardo, a seasoned business and wealth consultant at Solari, joins us for an enlightening discussion on weapons and martial culture in the Netherlands, as well as land ownership, education, and a candid conversation around the American Dream, and the distinct mindset that it has created.

We then switch gears, comparing and contrasting education and faith in the United States and Europe.  We touch on the decline in education standards, the rise of harmful ideologies, and the critical role of homeschooling. We also dissect the importance of financial literacy and productivity taught from a young age, emphasizing the gaps in traditional education systems. 

We then delve into a topic that often sparks heated debate – personal protection. We highlight the stark divergence in views on gun ownership and self-protection in the US and Europe. The conversation then takes an unexpected turn, exploring the role of weapons in society and the need for teaching discipline and self-control. We share our thoughts on martial arts being a potent tool to instill these values.
