Launching Life at 60

In May 2021, Tor Martin Pedersen, 30, quit his job of 11 years as an industrial mechanic, servicing gigantic machinery that loads iron ore to 300m vessels in the Norwegian port of Narvik, having achieved financial freedom by investing crypto currencies. He believes in the underlying technology that, he says, was created and is run by people who believe in the common good of the people. Tor achieved his financial independence in 18 months. He's also a follower of the Iceman Wim Hof method of sub-zero training, which has given him mental clarity, discipline and energy boost. "It's humbling to submerse yourself in sub-zero waters!" It puts your mind in a meditative state, of emptiness.  Wim Hoff website is: https://www.wimhofmethod.com/ The best starting point for crypto investment, Tor says, are the London Real interviews with Andras Antonopoulos -- https://londonreal.tv/andreas-antonopoulos-the-death-of-money/ https://londonreal.tv/andreas-antonopoulos-the-future-of-money/

We continue with Jim's story from our last espisode, and this time he focusses on what it's like to raise funds for startups in Wisconsine. And what it takes for entrepreneurs to succeed. 

A phone call from an FBI agent in October 2011 started Jim Prange's harrowing experience of a wrongful arrest, conviction and imprisonment for a financial fraud (supposedly of $4,750) that he never committed. At the time he was a successful private equity financial expert raising millions of dollars for startup firms in Wisconsin. The saga didn't end until December 2017, when he at last became a completely freeman. It took from him six years of his life and $250,000 in legal fees. During 18-months imprisonment, he interviewed over 200 wrongfully convicted inmates. He's' just completed his first book "Set Up" chroniclling his experience and started a podcast Law, Litigation and Lies to help those who've gone through similar experiences.
