Hello, My name is Matt & I’m the Founder of OnTheBall, LLC where I write about geopolitics, macroeconomic investment opportunities, global trends and my own contrarian thoughts on the world.
I want to offer you an alternative to the mainstream by providing insightful, forward-looking media content for you to navigate smoothly through these chaotic times.

Who We Are
On The Ball, LLC is a contrarian, financial media and intelligence subscription platform delivering deep-dive analysis across six core verticals: macroeconomics and country-specific outlooks, business and investment opportunities, global trends, geopolitical and finance commentary, original research and opinion, and boots-on-the-ground travel insights. The company operates a tiered subscription model distributed across its proprietary website, Substack, Soapbox and Medium, monetizing a growing readership of investors, international planners, and globally-minded professionals seeking independent perspectives beyond mainstream financial media.
Complementing our content business, On The Ball LLC operates Open Door Consultancy, a DBA advisory service specializing in immigration, tax strategy, lifestyle planning, wealth diversification, and gold allocation — providing a direct, high-touch revenue stream alongside the subscription base.
To put the content into action, I also operate a separate managed-accounts investment service, to position On The Ball as a practitioner-led intelligence brand. With an affiliate program, a multi-platform content distribution strategy, and a separately developed social blogging application (Soapbox) already live, On The Ball LLC represents a vertically expanding media and advisory business with a clearly differentiated editorial voice in the alternative financial intelligence space.
Taken together, this is much more than a simple blogging website that simple regurgitates what you already know.

On The Ball
On The Ball produces article posts that span 6 main categories (see above)–which are then split between free and paid content.
The paid content carries a more significant amount of depth, research, contrarian/controversial thinking and details but still resembles the writing work you’ve come to enjoy.
