About Peter J. Merrick, TEP
Peter J.
Merrick, co-author of the #1 International Best-seller, "It Starts with Gold," (a dystopian thriller novel), shares insights, historical evidence and lesser-known information which directly affects us all. "Our book was never about profit.
It was about making the truth accessible before it disappears." - PJM
Peter is not here to sell fear.
He delivers clarity, context, and concrete action in a world teetering on economic destruction and chaos.
He also has a shocking story of attending a military-style school cited for unfathomable abuses to the boys.
He now feels this prepared him for today - for this mission - to shine the light where so many cower in fear and darkness in a similar way to the school designed to break the human spirit.
He is a deep thinker who examines the human mindset, questions why we believe what we believe and writes articles that inspire others to re-examine their personal philosophies.

Spitters.
This blog excerpt says it all:
- Reclaim Your Financial Sovereignty -
"It Starts With Gold" bridges the gap between tangible and digital value.
It contrasts the incorruptible nature of physical gold with the vulnerabilities of digital assets that can be altered, controlled, or shut down.
The book invites readers to look beyond the noise of innovation and speculation and return to first principles, the enduring qualities that truly protect wealth and freedom.
The challenge now is not just technical.
It is educational.
The only way to protect freedom is to understand how it is being taken away.

Why Invite as a Guest?
Here is why Peter is different: He isn't just a "suit" - Peter's personal story of surviving years of abuse at a military-style boys' school (and nobody believed him, including his parents) - will open hearts as he moves to open minds with eye-opening information every human needs right now. His dystopian financial thriller novel peels-and-reveals the wizards behind the curtain. Couched as fiction, (is it though?), he brings receipts about all the deception and manipulation of mind, money & men. Even the "awake" sit up and take notes. BUT... He isn't looking to sell books. In fact, his #1 International Best-seller, a 580-page dystopian novel, "It Starts with Gold," is on Amazon for $.99. He is here to shift perspectives, and does so adeptly, smoothly and with conviction. Warm, witty and wise, Peter Merrick humbly refers to himself a late bloomer with an informed sense of humor. His personal story, hailing from an abusive military-like school (ages 11-15) is the ultimate story of personal transformation. He now feels it prepared him for his calling. The story will touch your audience's heart right from the start. His bio and one-sheet shows you he is valued both as an oral as well as a written resource, persuading subtly through insight, laughter and a 'soft touch' armed with hard facts few know, but NEED to know now more than ever. With 20+ years of NLP training, and over 30 years experience in the financial industry, he has a knack for opening minds, offering new perspectives by using relatable examples - such as he did in his book revealing hidden messages and analogies from the classic movie, "The Wizard of Oz," then igniting your audience with actionable steps. Your audience will want him back for his depth of knowledge, likable presence and sincere desire to serve humanity. Often, it is evident a guest is there to sell XYZ. Audiences pick that up, and they shut down. He is different. Peter J. Merrick, often referred to as The King of Main Street, is an internationally recognized author, writer, commentator, and keynote speaker. He will delight your audience, leave a lasting impression, and help you co-market your episode(s) with fervor.
