Dallas Mastermind
Join Us in Dallas, Texas for the Final Mavericks Mastermind of 2025
November 4-7, 2025
Building Wealth in the Age of Chaos
We live in an era where — to use Lenin’s words — decades are happening in a matter of weeks.
Wars — both kinetic and economic — are disrupting global trade, re-shaping economic alliances, and driving up government defense spending (debt-financed, of course).
The government pointy shoes are racking up trillions of dollars in new debt — even in the face of persistently high (or even rising) interest rates. This alone makes for an… ahem, potent macro cocktail as all this isht load of debt will have to be refinanced, paid back, or defaulted on.
After shedding trillions of dollars in market value just a few months ago, US stocks are now once again ripping to new all-time highs.
And not only that…
Never before has so much investor wealth been concentrated in one single company (looking at you, Nvidia). Not even during the dot-com bubble!
At the same time, government bureaucrats are actively seeking to control and restrict capital flows (not to mention the looming threat of the Great Taking and asset seizure).
It shouldn’t be a surprise that — almost as a middle finger to the pointy shoes — anti-establishment assets such as Bitcoin and gold have never in history been as high as today.
All this begs the question…
How does one allocate their capital amidst this rapidly-changing backdrop — not just in terms of different asset classes but also across different jurisdictions (after all, what good is making a bunch of money if it gets plundered by a bunch of grubby politicians)?
What are the opportunities offering the biggest asymmetry right now? Plus, how to intelligently fit them into your existing portfolio?
And from a bigger picture…
One thing is certain. This era which we are now in, is an era of extreme uncertainty, radical change and chaos. The question then is. How to position yourself to win in this environment?
These are just some of the topics we’ll tackle at our upcoming Mavericks Mastermind.
Join us from November 4-7 in Dallas, Texas for three intensive days dedicated to mastering the art and science of wealth-building in today’s complex environment.
From an in-depth understanding of today’s macroeconomic crosscurrents and portfolio construction to hard assets and community resilience, you’ll leave equipped to thrive — no matter what challenges lie ahead.
And if you attended any of our Masterminds in the past, you know it’s not just about the presentations, panel discussions, and workshops (and the actionable ideas you’ll gather in those couple of days).
The real magic is in the structure of Mavericks events. Group sessions dedicated to achieving outcomes, and of course coffee breaks, lunches and dinners (both scheduled or spontaneous), are where oftentimes lasting connections are made. No man is an island and together we have far more power and resources than we imagine.
Come and join us. You’ll forge meaningful friendships and expand your network of sharp, entrepreneurial, and forward-thinking Mavericks from all over the world.
Mastermind Agenda
Tuesday, November 4: Welcome Drinks
We’ll kick off the Mastermind at The Henry’s rooftop bar with warm Southern hospitality. Reconnect with old friends and meet new ones over canapés and cocktails while enjoying views of the Dallas skyline.
Wednesday, November 5: Mastermind Day 1
What are the key forces and geopolitical events shaping today’s macro landscape? We’ll take a closer look at global capital flows — from sovereign bonds and currency markets to precious metals and cryptocurrencies — to better understand how these dynamics are driving asset prices and how to construct our portfolios around them.
Thursday, November 6: Mastermind Day 2
Day 2 will be dedicated entirely to practical solutions. We’ll cover opportunities in publicly-traded stocks, private equity and VC deals, and fixed income. Plus, essential strategies for banking (both traditional and parallel), the best ways to leverage the Five Flags strategy in today’s world, and more.
We’ll wrap up the day with sunset canapés and drinks at the Filter.
Friday, November 7: Mastermind Day 3 (Resilience Day)
We’ll head to Texas Gun Ranch, a private, well-equipped facility providing a safe environment to develop personal and community protection skills.
The entire day will focus on building resilience across critical areas such as food, energy, water, community, and protection. We’ll explore solutions and practical strategies to strengthen each of these elements and put them into action through shooting and resilience workshops.
Plus, we’ll enjoy a Texas BBQ lunch — when in Texas, there’s no better way to forge friendships and deepen your network than over some iconic BBQ.
OPTIONAL EVENTS
We also have a handful of exciting activities planned before and after the Mastermind.
We’re planning a trip out to West Texas to one of the world’s biggest oil and gas hubs: the Permian shale field. We’re potentially organising a visit to a mid-sized family ranch, and a trip to Texas wouldn’t be complete without a visit to a rodeo.
Each of these activities will be run separate to the main event, either as self-organised tours or will require a separate registration and payment. For full details and the latest updates, be sure to join Mavericks Social, where we share all event information and announcements.

How It Will Work
When you put smart people in a room, great things happen. Each day will comprise of talks or roundtables, followed by intensive periods of group discussion to capture anything of value that can be shared. There is no hierarchy, there are no “gurus”. Speakers will be among attendees discussing the solutions to the problems we all face.
| EXPERT GUESTS WILL PRESENT Friends of The Mavericks Project who have specialist knowledge in the topics covered will attend the event and present in their area of specialty, either as a keynote or a roundtable with multiple participants. |
| FOLLOWED BY WORKSHOPS All attendees will then be split into breakout groups to discuss the key issues and share their knowledge/experience/thoughts on the matter at hand. An elected member will capture important notes. |
| AND DEALS PITCHING THROUGHOUT Within Mavericks HQ, we’ve been working on a number of projects, some of which evolved from the prior Masterminds and some from the founding group of Mavericks. Throughout the event we reserved opportunities for specific solution discussions, and brainstorming. In prior events we found this day to be the most impactful and purpose-oriented of the three days. |
| SOCIAL EVENTS & NETWORKING Social events are mixed in to get to know fellow participants and experience unique and interesting activities together. Perfect for expanding your network. Partners or guests welcome. |
| LEAVE WITH NOTES CAPTURED We’ll capture all important notes and takeaways from the event and present attendees with a compilation of notes, contacts, strategies and practical information for follow-up. |
SMALL & FOCUSED
This is not a “conference”. It’s closer to a cartel of Masterminds formed exclusively to navigate the huge issues making the future uncertain.
OUTCOME-ORIENTED
We’ll introduce you to like-minded members and specialists who can share their knowledge and connections in the local market or in the nearby jurisdictions.
EXCLUSIVE
If you’re reading this, is because you are a Maverick. This event is not being publicised and therefore, access is strictly limited.
NO “GURUS”
Everyone is a Samurai. There will be presentations from experts, roundtable discussions, and breakout groups. Presenters will be part of the audience, no one is “special”.
QUALITY NETWORK
You’ll be surrounded by successful, freedom-loving movers and shakers who share the same concerns and are after the same answers as you.
LIFE-CHANGING
Get clarity on the big questions – where to live, where to invest, where to hold your wealth, and how to build parallel systems to protect you and your family.
The Mavericks Mastermind Ethos
All mastermind attendees share the following traits and world views:
INDIVIDUAL VS STATE
Those who believe that only individuals have rights, not the collective group, and that a just state derives its power solely from its citizens. One of the greatest threats to freedom is to allow any group — no matter its numeric superiority — to deny the rights of the minority
PRIVATE PROPERTY
Those who believe that the human instinct for private property is a positive force because it provides an incentive for production, which is necessary for the material support of mankind
LEADERSHIP
Those who believe leadership by persuasion, not coercion. They evaluate leaders not only on their stated goals, but on which type of leadership they offer.
FREE TO CHOOSE
Those who believe that desirable social and economic objectives are better achieved by voluntary action than by coercion of law.
FREE MARKET MONEY
Those who believe in freedom to accept or reject any currency, or other forms of money, based entirely upon their personal judgment of its value.
EQUALITY UNDER LAW
Those who believe that all citizens should be equal under law, regardless of their national origin, race, religion, gender, education, economic status, lifestyle, or political opinion. Likewise, no class should be given preferential treatment.
