Mastermind
Event
3 life-changing days aimed at positioning for the future
November 4-8 2024
Secure your future with Agriculture and food opportunities!
“Sustainable resources”, “sustainable farming”, “sustainable farts”, “ethical” killing. You, human, are depleting Mother Earth of its resources. How Dare You?!
We beg to differ!
Food is man’s basic fuel for survival, out of which everything else derives: health, wellness, wealth etc. The elites may want to herd the human population by crippling existing food systems, centralizing food production and forcing us to eat bugs and other genetically modified foods but as Mavericks, we are committed to build resilient, parallel systems.
Join us in Buenos Aires. For three days and four nights, we will discuss probably the most essential trends and aspects related to human survival: food, agriculture and counter-cyclical boltholes.
We’re deep into The Fourth Turning where a global monetary crisis, leads to a debt crisis, which in turn unfolds to social crisis, government reaction is increased control and tyranny, and the power vacuum of failed empires always and inevitability leads to geopolitical unrest!
We’ll look at the intersection of the 80 years of failed monetary expansion and help you connect the dots of how medical tyranny, climate change, social unrest & geopolitical troubles are connected. And how government & NGO reactions to the myriad of crises and their impact on Agriculture and food. We’ll look at parallels through history, where centralization of food and agriculture leads to only one place & we’ll pull back the curtain to reveal The Great Oz!
Most importantly we’ll look at the opportunities and mastermind our way to solutions to overcome the challenges! We will deep dive into the solutions: food & nutrition, homesteading, soil health, farm regeneration, building functional, anti-fragile food supply chains, food production systems and finally we will look into associated deals and investment opportunities.
Join us in Buenos Aires between 4-8th November to discuss all these and so much more.
A Turning Point
At the beginning of the 20th century, Argentina was one of the top 10 wealthiest countries in the world. Since the 1930s, Argentina turned from one of the most stable to one of the most unstable countries in the world. Could it be possible to see a return to prosperity of the Argentinean economy marked by the appointment of the first ever elected anarcho-capitalist president in Argentina? This trip will be an excellent opportunity to connect with local Argentinian’s who’ve lived through decades of crippling socialist policies, along with a myriad of expats who are moving to the Southern Cone to call Argentina home, along with curious foreigners who are attending to see what all of the noise is about..

MAVERICKS ARGENTINA MASTERMIND // 4-8TH NOVEMBER

Welcome Reception & Canapes
Kick off the meetup at a stunning polo bar in one of the most elegant areas in Buenos Aires and enjoy the company of old and new friends.

Mastermind Day 1 – Disruptions in the Food System
Discuss the impact of centralization of food, destabilization of shipping routes, the effects of an inflationary and fiat-based monetary system on the food and agriculture system and explore ways to build functional and resilient food systems.
6th
Mastermind Day 2 – Agriculture: crisis or the path to freedom?
Until we win the cows-fart-is-not-important argument against the central planners there are multiple options to build reliable food systems and sound agriculture practices to secure our healthy, organic and nutrient-dense food. We will discuss the impact of centralized crops into the food nutrition, what poisons hidden in our food are to be avoided at all costs and delve deeper into regenerative agriculture and homesteading practices.
7th
Mastermind Day 3 – Transform the crisis into opportunity
Convert the crisis in agriculture and food into an opportunity to design a new system that caters for individual health and sovereignty. Explore local opportunities in Argentinean land and production systems.
Close the evening in the company of new friends, family and partners.
Hunting expedition and other side activities
For those interested, there are several side trips organized before and after the event.
We planned a small hunting trip in Cordoba 2 days ahead of the event, a 2-day visit at El Silencioso post event, attending Palermo Spring Polo tournament in the week-end post-event. All of these have a separate registration process and payment. To learn the details about these and more, make sure you’re connected to Mavericks Social where we’ll discuss and post all event-related updates and more.
Accommodation, Travel & Logistics
Hotel
Since we have chosen the Hippodrome as the main event venue and many of our guests have accommodation arrangements in Buenos Aires, we aren’t promoting a hotel ticket for this event.
However, for those who would like a nearby, 5-star hotel, we warmly recommend Hotel Casa Lucia. The hotel guaranteed rooms availability until September 20th, hence if you are interested, secure your ticket and book your stay ASAP.
Note: November is a peak season for visiting Buenos Aires, therefore we highly encourage guests to start planning their trip and accommodation to secure their stays.
TRAVELING TO Buenos Aires
There are plenty of direct flight connections from most major US cities and some major European cities.
Obtaining visa is not necessary for most countries. Check here the list of countries for which visa is required to enter Argentina.
LOGISTICS
Buenos Aires is a relatively safe city – absent certain areas which are to be avoided.
Guests who are staying in the nearby areas we recommended will find their way easily to the main location venue.
For airport transfers, SIM cards and other things needed for someone landing to Argentina for the first time – we will provide guidelines and recommendations soon.
Friends & Family are welcomed
We encourage participants to bring your partners along to this event, many of the topics we discuss and the decisions we are making affect our loved ones. While they may not want to sit through the entire mastermind series, however being part of the social events and meeting some of your like-minded yet crazy friends, is an empowering process.
We have build a social ticket, which invites partners along to the several social events we’re running.
When you purchase your ticket look to add a social ticket as well.
Join Mavericks Social to Receive Updates
Most of you have learned that we launched a new Chat & Forum platform called Mavericks Social. It combines the best of the traditional platforms and has the advantage that is more private, more structured around tangible solutions and meaningful sharing and it is self-hosted by Mavericks and its partners.
If you haven’t yet joined, by all means join because you’re missing out on a lot of good stuff.
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. In Argentina the key themes will be around Food, Agriculture and Real Estate. |
| 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 Dubai and Istanbul events and some from the founding group of Mavericks. Throughout the event we reserved opportunities for interesting companies to present interesting deals, discuss, and brainstorm these projects and get involved. In Dubai and Turkey, we found this day to be the most impactful and purpose-oriented of the three days. But unlike Dubai and Turkey, we will feature investable private venture companies and deals relevant for this event’s main themes. |
| SOCIAL EVENTS 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, if you wish to take advantage of the opportunities Argentina brings. |
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.
Guiding Principles
All Attendees have the following traits and world views in common:
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
FREE TO CHOOSE
Those who believe that desirable social and economic objectives are better achieved by voluntary action than by coercion of law.
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 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, life-style, or political opinion. Likewise, no class should be given preferential treatment.
