Ep. #29: J Robertson of Prosperá City, Roatàn

J Robertson is the most unusual guy in the public policy world. Whereas most of his professional peers are busy trying to take part in more disastrous policies that make life worse for you and me. J decided he would go his own way…

J understands the governance and governments are both broken. But making meaningful change is almost impossible within the system. So J and his team went around all the bureaucratic nonsense by founding their very own country. Sort of…

Built on libertarian principles, and capitalizing on other successful examples like Hong Kong, Dubai and Singapore, Prospera made the bold decision to create a public private partnership with the poor Central American nation of Honduras.

You’ll hear us talking about:

• How did Prospera - a Delaware LLC - partner with the sovereign government of Honduras and get a favorable situation? 
• The movement to create a new model of governance that allows human prosperity and how Prospera is leading the way…
• The truth behind that old Ayn Rand quote, “Observe that the 'haves' are those who have freedom, and that it is freedom that the 'have-nots' have not.”
• The new trend where national identities give way to paying for government services and living wherever you are treated best…
• The dissatisfaction with current government services and Prospera’s ballsy initiative to create a model in which people can pay for the services they want… and leave the rest.
• How Prospera went to work creating 4,000 jobs for locals (so far)… boosted property values… and generated tax revenue for the Honduran government. 
• The international treaty that protects Prospera from any funny business by the Honduran government.
• The truth about the accusation that ‘Prospera is stealing land from the locals.’
• Why it’s safer to invest in Prospera than anywhere else in Honduras thanks to their special international treaty.
• Why NOT being part of the legacy system and infrastructure allowed Prospera to move faster and get things done in record time.
• The truth about safety in Roatan (it’s safer the US cities)...
• How tourism has totally transformed Roatan - and Prospera is capturing that momentum and building on it.
• Prospera’s massive growth from five acres to 400 acres and a profitable resort - The Pristine Bay.
• 1,300 residents, 160 companies and permanent expats living in a stable environment.
• Why medical research facilities are incorporating in Roatan.
• The incentives Prospera is offering that is attracting everything from financial companies to crypto startups, real estate to medical research.
• My own conversion to free market radical after reading The Market For Liberty by Morris and Linda Tannehill
