About
Tom Bodrovics is a Canadian private investor and podcast host from Western Canada (Alberta) with a background in oil and gas. He began his career welding in the oil patch and later ran a business servicing the sector. In 2013 he attended an entrepreneurship course in Europe that shaped his libertarian and contrarian outlook; the following year he sold his home near the top of the housing cycle and shifted into the junior resource sector. For roughly five and a half years he hosted Palisades Gold Radio, interviewing experts on junior mining, gold, silver, commodities, and macroeconomics. In 2025 he launched his own shows (Competent Man / Competent Investor), continuing the focus on markets and sound money while expanding into health, freedom, and personal resilience. An avid motorcycle enthusiast and former competitive racer, he emphasizes high agency, continuous learning, and taking control of one’s wealth and future.
