Most men live on autopilot, repeating patterns they never chose.
Childhood imprints, family patterns, and old identities quietly dictate how they react, what they avoid, and even the opportunities they miss. Jaguar Hardt, once branded “Australia’s Andrew Tate,” discovered this only after losing millions, his health, and his sense of self. His breaking point became a blueprint: reprogram the subconscious, dissolve toxic identities, and rebuild on peace and purpose.
This episode shows you how.
How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

The Millionaire Who Felt Empty
Jaguar Hardt grew up in Australia in a turbulent home.
His mother was abusive and manipulative, and his childhood dojo trained him to be resilient but also deeply defiant. That drive carried him into property investing. He flipped houses, raised money, and built multimillion-dollar projects. From the outside, it looked like success. Inside, he felt soulless. Every sales call drained him further.
He knew the role he was playing no longer matched the man he wanted to be.

Early life stress (even prenatal + first three years) doesn’t just feel bad now—it alters brain structure & function. Regions like the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus show measurable reductions in volume or connectivity when children experience deprivation, neglect, or other adversity. (learn more)

Nine Months of Hell
The unraveling hit fast.
Over nine brutal months, overseas projects collapsed, partners betrayed him, and millions vanished. At a party, a stranger sucker-punched him from behind, leaving him with broken ribs, vertigo, and near blindness. He sold off his belongings, slept on a hardwood floor, and survived on ten dollars a day. His last source of comfort, his dog, died during this season. The real pain wasn’t financial loss. It was the collapse of identity.
Everything he thought he was built on turned to dust.

The Phone Call He Refused
The breaking point came when Jaguar sat down to dial another investor.
He froze. “I can’t make another sales call,” he told his partner. That one refusal was the pivot. The very next day, he had his first two coaching clients. He hadn’t crafted a plan or a funnel. He had simply stopped lying to himself about what he could tolerate. In stepping away from the old identity, space opened for a new one. It was in that space that the label “Australia’s Andrew Tate” appeared, as critics tried to box him in.
Instead of shrinking, Jaguar turned the moment into fuel for his deeper mission.
Indentity is the biggest addiction
Cracking the Code of Identity
Jaguar’s work starts with a simple premise: most of your life runs on old code.
He believes programming begins in the womb and is reinforced in the first three years. His first exercise with clients is disarming: name three traits you dislike about your mother. Those traits live in you as unconscious programs. To break free, you must face them. He draws a line between change and transformation. Change is reactive; it compares past to present. Transformation dissolves the code entirely. His diagnostic tool is language. Words like should, must, good, bad, right, wrong reveal subcons” reveal subconscious binaries.
When you spot the code, you create space. In that space, peace and purpose can emerge.
From Andrew Tate Label to School of Freedom
Jaguar argues that identity is the biggest addiction of our time.
Political tribes, gender narratives, and online outrage are all programs disguised as truth. Men especially, he says, need purpose and peace to stay clear of the noise. For him, peace is not a theory—it’s a daily discipline. He refuses unnecessary conflict, designs his life around order instead of chaos, and chooses values that keep him grounded.
From being branded “Australia’s Andrew Tate” to now running the School of Freedom, his mission is simple: help people reprogram the subconscious code that keeps them stuck and give men in particular a framework to rebuild on peace, brotherhood, and purpose.
Five Moves to Rewire Your Life
Audit your language today. Write down the words you catch yourself saying—should, must, always, never. Each one is a sign of old programming. Replace them with conscious choices: I choose to… or I won’t…
Run the “parent test.” Name three traits you dislike in a parent. Notice where those traits show up in your behavior. Then design the opposite action for the next 24 hours.
Choose peace as a metric. Before reacting online or in a conversation, ask, “Will this bring peace or conflict?” Remove one unnecessary conflict from your calendar or social feed today.
Anchor purpose in practice. Don’t wait for clarity. Set one small mission for the week—a workout goal, a financial target, or a skill to sharpen and treat it as your territory to protect.
Find brotherhood. Schedule one call or meeting this week with a man who challenges you. Stop isolating. Brotherhood is a safeguard against identity collapse.
That’s a wrap!
