LFN #256 - How to Get Local Businesses to Accept Gold & Silver (16 Years of Counter-Economy Lessons)

August 5, 2026·42 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

I've spent over 16 years building the counter-economy. Trading precious metals for goods and services with real businesses. Actual trades, actual people, actual yeses. In this video I break down exactly how I do it. The scripts, the mindset, and the moves that get a business owner nodding instead of staring at you like you just asked to pay in seashells. You'll learn: How to walk up to a farmers market vendor and get a yes on the spot Why pitching a brick and mortar is a completely different game than pitching an online shop How to know what to pay so you're never overpaying or insulting the person across the counter The objections you'll hit before you even open your mouth, and how to handle them This is what's worked for me across hundreds of real transactions... building a parallel economy that doesn't need the dollar or the banking system to function. If you want to go deeper, join us this Saturday, August 8th, for the Exit & Build Virtual Summit 2. Jeremy Cordon, founder of Goldback, is speaking on using spendable gold in everyday commerce. Free to attend. Grab your spot here: https://exitandbuild.com/virtual
