Breaking Free From Federal Control To Reach True Sovereignty with Kelby Smith

True Sovereignty Systems shape our lives long before we even notice them. Birth registrations, taxes and daily compliance appear normal, yet each step quietly defines status. These routines form the boundaries of identity and ownership. Many accept these structures without questioning how they began. Others sense something deeper is at work beneath the surface.

In this episode of The Best Business Podcast, Daryl Urbanski speaks with Kelby Smith, Founder of His Advocates. Kelby has spent more than a decade teaching the history behind state citizenship. He also explains the legal structure defining federal jurisdiction. His bestselling book What Does It Mean to Be an American? challenges mainstream assumptions and documents long-buried case law. His work gives people a clearer understanding of how to stand in the law with confidence.

Sovereignty, property, and personal authority sit at the center of today’s shifting landscape. Expanding surveillance and digital systems are reshaping how freedom is understood. Understanding how identity is created, and how it can be lawfully asserted, has never mattered more. Tune in for a grounded conversation revealing the core mechanics of modern liberty.

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: 

1. Learn how U.S. citizenship, as defined by law, may not mean what you think it does.
2. Understand how property rights and financial independence form the groundwork for true sovereignty.
3. Reflect on how digital systems are redefining the limits of personal freedom.
