What if the most important contract of your life was one you never read, never signed… and never even knew existed?



In this episode, I sit down with Michael Joseph, Phil Mederi, and Daniel Menz from the Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship to break down the hidden world of commerce, jurisdiction, and private vs public status, the stuff that quietly shapes your daily life.

Most people move through life assuming they’re “free,” but the real structure sits underneath, in the language, the commerce system, and the contracts that define your status. Once you understand how the system actually works, you start to see why the trap is subtle… and why the exit requires clarity, not chaos.

If you’re exploring status correction, common law, the private domain, or how the corporate system actually operates, this conversation will give you a framework that finally makes sense.
