What is Alex Merced Up To? May 04, 2022

Show notes

I will be on near radio silence for the next several months and I wanted to make sure you guys know I’m not disappearing. Please listen to this audio clip where I explain the journey I’ll be on. I’ll still be around and accessible if you need my help, advice or encouragement but I will certainly be a lot more low key till January.

For those who’d like to help the best thing you can do is buy a copy of my book (TheLibertarianHeart.com), buy a T-shirt (Tshirt.libertarian101.com) or make a donation at Donate.AlexMerced.com

Either way I’ll be around, my story ain’t done quite yet.
