I always marvel when I take my kids to the park. They’re aged 2 and 3, and they pretty much become best friends with anyone else who’s more or less their size and also likes going down the slide.
They have precisely one thing in common: they all want to play. And that’s good enough to become fast friends.
Meanwhile, Daddy tries to make small talk with the other moms and dads. Some stare at their phones and want nothing to do with me. Others make polite chit chat, and then we never see each other again.
That’s because it’s just a lot harder as an adult. Connections become more difficult. The things that bring people together and forge relationships become a lot more nuanced— our values, how we see the world, and what truly matters to us.
That’s especially true if you’re looking for other successful, like-minded individuals. And today’s fractured ideological environment makes it that much harder.
This is what the concept of community used to be; it comes from the Latin word communius, which means “shared by all”. The idea was that people who lived near each other shared similar values and goals.
Today it’s totally different. It’s not usual for people to have no idea who their neighbors are anymore, let alone have much in common. People became more and more isolated.
More than a decade ago, we recognized that we had a built-in community among the hundreds of thousands of subscribers who were reading our emails. Our readers come from a wide variety of backgrounds… but they quite often see the world in a similar way and share core values.
That’s why we formally created a specialized group that a small number of our members could join; we call it Total Access— a small, close-knit network that brings together people from all walks of life— investors, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, crypto enthusiasts, retirees, and even a celebrity or two— from all over the world.
It’s a wide range of people, but they have a lot in common; they are all intelligent, independent-minded folks who understand, just as Peter and I do, that there’s a lot of risk in the world… but also a lot of opportunity.
From the start, we committed to providing the highest level of service we could—our best research, exclusive private investment opportunities, access to world-class tax, legal, and “Plan B” specialists, and even direct access to us.
We host invitation-only investment conferences, which is where many of these connections happen, plus smaller, VIP trips to places as varied as Croatia, Uzbekistan, Cuba, Tanzania, and more.
Just last week our CEO took Total Access members on a luxurious trip to witness El Salvador’s astonishing turnaround. We had the red carpet treatment from some of the highest-ranking officials in government, as well as top business leaders in the private sector.
Before that trip members explored Cuba, sailed a luxury yacht down the coasts of Croatia, hiked through the rainforests of Costa Rica, and had dinner on a mountaintop in the Republic of Georgia. Next year, we have trips planned for Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Tanzania.
But Total Access is way more than trips.
The group also receives access to Schiff Sovereign’s premium research, including intelligent, sensible Plan B strategies— asset protection, second passports, tax planning, etc.
And they receive our highest level investment service, with top quality research on heavily, almost absurdly undervalued real asset businesses; imagine a profitable, dividend-paying, precious metals business with ZERO net debt and a laughably low valuation.
But all of that is secondary to the central idea: creating a true community, one where deep relationships, friendships, and even business partnerships have formed.
Throughout my life I’ve built businesses and charitable ventures, led large organizations, and even saved a few lives. But the community we’ve built with Total Access is one of the things of which I’m most proud.
In fact, on Thanksgiving, one of our members wrote in our exclusive Total Access Telegram group:
“I am grateful to all the TA’ers for supporting each other in these online chats, at events and in calls, as the world goes through major changes / chaos. And to the TA staff behind the scenes for helping run and create this wonderful community of sovereign free individuals.”
This is also why we carefully guard this group and deliberately keep it small and intimate. We don’t hype it up or sell it until our events are overflowing with countless members.
Instead, we open membership rarely and maintain a waitlist while it’s closed. This exclusivity ensures that people get to know each other— as well as Peter and I— and aren’t just lost in a crowd.
Yes, Total Access offers in-person events, virtual conversations, exclusive content, and top-tier investment research.
But more than anything, it offers a chance to be part of something meaningful—a community that truly matters.
If you’re someone who values connection, shared experiences, and access to unique opportunities, we encourage you to join Total Access.
Peter and I look forward to having a personal, introductory call with you once you’re part of the group.
