Fellow Freedom Seeker,
If you’re serious about building wealth, preparing for a “luxury lifestyle” retirement, protecting your assets, and securing the future of your family…
…then, “Money Shackles: The Breakout Guide To Alternative Investing” could be the most important book you ever read.
Right now you’re thinking, “Great! I’d love a book like this. But who are you? And why should I listen to you?”
Excellent question.
I’m Dutch Mendenhall.
You might already know me as the President of the Alternative Investment Association and Founder & CEO of RADD REIT.
We are proud of our accomplishments:
I’m a family man, proud of my faith, and although I work every day, I’m in an enviable position where I don’t have to worry about money.
Honestly, it wasn’t always this way.
Although my parents were investors, my youth was a rollercoaster. That’s because both my mom and dad were addicts. “Feast or famine” was how my family lived most of our early lives.
Even worse, my only escape plan failed. Although I was a talented baseball player with a bright future, I was permanently sidelined with a career-ending injury.
My early attempts at professional success were hit or miss.
Can you relate?
Ever had a stretch in your life where it doesn’t last even when you catch a break? Then you’re left wondering what you did wrong.
Have you ever ridden that type of roller coaster? It can make you sick, stressed out, and feel unworthy. I’ve been there.
It was a life-changing wake-up call when I finally discovered the shocking truth.
The American Dream has been re-defined.
For some, it has mutated into a nightmare. For others, just an unattainable fantasy.
But for a smart and motivated few, it has become more reachable and prosperous than ever!
How did they do it? What do they know that most other Americans don’t?
You’re about to find out.
I’ve spent the last two decades around America's most successful and lifestyle-driven investors. I ripped all the useful knowledge from their brains and into mine.
Everything I learned, I applied immediately. It wasn’t always easy, and I didn’t always win. But I wouldn’t trade those hard-learned lessons for anything.
Now that I’ve compiled everything that worked (and noted what didn’t), I’m ready to share it with the world.
That’s why I wrote the book “Money Shackles: The Breakout Guide To Alternative Investing”. So others could live the new American Dream and recession-proof their lives (even if they’ve struggled or been treated like outsiders).
Now you can bypass all the frustration and skip over all the mistakes.
You will quickly learn about what radically changed my life and the lives of many others I’ve helped: Alternative Investments.
Here’s what makes alternative investments so attractive right now:

Billionaires Love It - According to a recent KKR survey, people with more than $1 billion in assets keep *more than half* their investable wealth in alternative investments.
Trend Is Only Just Beginning - 88% of financial advisors expressed their intention to increase allocations to alternative asset classes over the next two years. - Oct 2022 CAIS Survey

“Dutch is redefining the American Dream for the modern age. He leads from his heart with grace, humility, and dignity. I am proud to have witnessed all he’s come to accomplish over the years. It is wonderful to see him sharing his lessons and learnings, his hardships, and wins to empower others to break their status quo and challenge what defines financial freedom. Breaking out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself is when you grow to build a better version of you and find out what you are capable of achieving - Dutch is the model of this and challenges others to find their meaning of financial freedom.”
