Daryl Urbanski – Investing in Sustainable Homes

Imagine a home that grows your food, collects rainwater, and slashes utility bills—true freedom in an affordability crisis. Join host Bronson Hill for an eye-opening conversation with Daryl Urbanski, serial entrepreneur and host of The Best Business Podcast, recorded in June 2025. From hitchhiking across Canada at 17 to nearly launching a sustainable hostel at 19, Daryl’s journey led him to partner with Wonderful Structures to create the Oasis Bio Home—a modular, self-sufficient home built in 90 days with no money down, paid off in 3–5 years. Using fiber resin polymer (FRP) and Earthship-inspired systems, these homes feature solar power, gray water recycling for indoor gardens, and earth berm insulation, costing just $126 per square foot.

Whether for Airbnbs, retirement communities, or off-grid living, Daryl’s vision tackles housing crises, climate resilience, and tax burdens. Learn how to invest in sustainable homes, escape the “tax farm,” and align with a purpose-driven, contrarian lifestyle.

Bronson Hill: Welcome to the Mailbox Money Show. I am your host, Bronson Hill. Super excited to be here today.

We’ve got an amazing guest in the house, and really talking about what does sustainable living look like, not just from an eco-friendly standpoint, but also from something that your house actually is a place that you can get food and other sorts of resources and really, especially with the housing crisis, there’s a lot of issues that come with how do we create housing in a way that doesn’t, you know, damage the environment or it doesn’t cause us to just simply be dependent on having no natural disasters and not have any sort of sustainability for life. 

So really excited to have him here today. 

Hey, Darryl Urbanski, how you doing, brother?

Daryl Urbanski: Good, man. I’m good. Pleasure to be here, Bronson.

Pleasure to talk with you. Excited.

I think this is a really important topic. I think we’re going through a lot in the world right now. There’s a lot happening geopolitically.

There’s a lot happening with technology, and I think the way that we align ourselves, what we focus on as individuals and as a society and as a species, I think that’s probably one of the most important things for us to address because a lot of people feel that the system’s broken or that it doesn’t serve them or only a few are benefiting. And so I think that this is a really important topic for us to discuss. And I think it’ll hopefully benefit a lot of the listeners as well.

Bronson Hill: Yeah, absolutely. Well, let’s get in a little bit of your story. I know you are.

You said you’re overseas right now. You live overseas. And so you’re able to kind of create this amazing business that helps people all around the world.

But let’s talk a little bit about your journey, kind of how you got started and how did you get to I know you have a podcast called the Best Business Podcast, which I was a guest on recently. It was a great action. I haven’t been a guest on your show.

I think it’s going to be soon. I’m going to be like, I’ve had conversations with you. That’s why I feel like I’ve been on your show.

But talk to us a little bit about kind of how you got started and how this became an opportunity for you as far as your business and the sustainability side.

Daryl Urbanski: You’re talking about the Oasis Bialome. I mean, I so my first venue in the marketing, I don’t know how far back you want to go. And always, you know, shovel.

I grew up in Canada, so I shoveled driveways with a buddy for money. And I had a paper route.

Bronson Hill: I had a paper route also. So we share that. 

Daryl Urbanski: Yeah.

Bronson Hill: For three years.

Daryl Urbanski: I think I even did the lemonade stand. I think I even did that once. Don’t have vague memories of having some sort of stand with juice out in front of like my we were cul-de-sac, and when I was 17, I did this program called Katimovic, where I got to travel and work around Canada for nine months.

I spent three months in B.C., three months in Alberta, three months in Quebec, and we were a group of 10 kids, half guys, half girls. We’re all 17 to 21. And the basic way that that worked is the company was a nonprofit, but they would fly a project manager to the town and give them a budget.

They would have to find a house that could fit everybody. And they would be responsible for lining up partners in the city for where people would work. So you would go there when you show up with your group, you would have a full time job.

Then evenings and weekends, you’re automatically signed up to volunteer at whatever was going on in the city. I mean, I work soup kitchens. We built floats for parades.

What like we did, we painted halls. We did a haunted house. We put like we put together this haunted house for small town.

Five thousand people is great. We we have music festivals. We did one hundred and one different things.

And, you know, three months to be three B.C., three months, Alberta, three months, Quebec. And during those three months, also for two weeks, everyone would go and bill it. They would go stay with a local family and see how they live and what their lives are like.

And that was a huge eye opening experience for me. And when I got back home, I wanted to go back out to B.C., but I still had to finish high school. I took a year off high school.

And in Canada, there used to be like OAC, they called it. I think it was like the 15th grade. And they got rid of that.

And my group was the last one to do it. But because I did Katunovic, it was like I got a free year because I still got to graduate with all my friends because I was it was it was a double cohort year. But I want to go back out to B.C. So I this is kind of where I got my cup my teeth in the marketing, you could say, is I knew I needed to have work when I got out there. I mean, I was a kid, I had $1,000 in my name.

Put all my stuff on a bus and shifted it there. I looked up online, I found this lady on a classified, rented a room in her house in Penticton, B.C., threw my stuff on a bus, shipped it across, and I just told my parents, hey, I’m going to B.C., I’m going to hitchhike there. And my parents convinced me to bus north of Toronto. They’re like, just get past Toronto.

So that’s what I did.

I just was me and my sign on the road. And I hitchhiked, I ended up hitchhiking across Canada six times. Then before I went, I wanted to have a job when I got there.

So I went on the city, the Chamber of Commerce for Penticton and I scraped. I had no idea what I was doing. Now they would call it spamming, but I scraped all the businesses’ websites off of it.

This is, for real, I don’t know, in 2025, I’m 42. And I was 17, 18 when this happened. So we’re like, it was like early days, the internet.

And I just scraped all the businesses websites and I just spammed them all. And I had, again, I had no marketing training, no experience. I just had a three-email sequence.

The first one was like cover letter and my resume and why you want to hire me. The second one actually made a PowerPoint presentation. Like, who’s this guy emailing me and why?

And then the last one was like final notice because I’m hitting the road, Jack. And it worked out. I ended up getting a job at the Hostling International Youth Hostile.

It was a nighttime manager.

Bronson Hill: Wow, hey, it worked.

Daryl Urbanski: That was the one of the earliest experiences. And when I was out there, I was there for four years. I worked and finished high school and I was paying all my own bills.

And one of the things I actually did is I found an investor who was gonna put in $50,000 to buy a property. Then I got a letter from the economic development officer of a Soyuz BC, which is on the border of the US. I was gonna build a hostel there.

And I wanted to use all these regenerative technologies because the hostel that I was working at, they had some sort of seaweed air cooler thing. I never got to see it, but we had some sort of certification thing on the wall and people come check it out. And they had this, I have no idea, even to this day, I’ve never really gotten to the details.

I’m like, that’s cool. And I was just meeting all, I mean, it’s BC, you know, there’s a lot of weed and a lot of hippies and stuff. And I was really, I was like, that’s really cool.

We should build smarter. And I came up with this whole business plan to basically renovate a house. And I learned about these buildings called Earth Ships.

People don’t know it’s, Michael Reynolds has been building these for over 55 years. He’s in New Mexico and he takes garbage. He takes like bottles, cans, and used tires and uses them to make a house.

And he takes the tires and he packs it full of gravel and sand to make like a dirt brick from load bearing brick. He’s been doing this. So I was inspired by that.

And I came up with all these ideas to make this sustainable, renovate this house. Though, you know, solar panels, this was when solar panels, they weren’t very common. You’d see about them in the whole earth catalog, and the bank approved my loan.

I think the loan was for $275,000 to buy the house and renovate it. And at that point, I crapped my pants and backed out of it because I think I barely turned 19.

Bronson Hill: As you say, you’re 19. How did you get a $275,000 loan when you were 19?

Daryl Urbanski: Well, I had a letter from an economic development officer and I had an investor and I had two other people that were willing to co-sign to help me get a project done. And, cause I think everybody was sort of, I mean, I’m just guessing, but I think the fact that, you know, I moved out on my own. I was 17, I paid, I would work nights and pay my bills while going to high school in a day and finished my, you know, I think people saw the grit type thing and they, you get how it is.

When you see someone that you think is making a good effort and they’re genuine and sincere, you know, if you can, you want to help them.

Bronson Hill: Yeah.

Daryl Urbanski: And there was a house in it. I think that’s a pretty safe asset, at least it was at the time. And, but I, at the time, my biggest purchase had been a car.

I’d fallen in love with the car before I bought it. It was a used car. I had a Ford T-Berg and I took it to a friend that was a mechanic and he said, don’t buy it, it’s a lemon.

And I bought it and it was a lemon. And I paid for it like 500 to a thousand dollars a month and repairs. There are the cracks, I forget what I, anyways.

So I, you know, I hadn’t had a girlfriend for over a year and a half. I’d been very nomadic in my life. So I was thinking, I haven’t had a girlfriend for a year and a half.

My biggest purchase I made a big mistake on. If I’m wrong on this, or if I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m going to be marrying this money and I’m going to spend the rest of my life paying it back.

So I didn’t do it.

And then I got kind of lost and felt like I didn’t have any direction. I think I spent another year and a half out there, but I felt like I’d almost lost my life purpose to a certain extent. Cause I’d kind of given up on that, on that vision, that dream.

Like what am I doing? I’m just working to pay bills, to work to pay bills. So I ended up going back home to Ontario.

I figured I’d be a good son and just support my, I was adopted. So support my adopted parents and whatever. And then I met a girl and she was, had just graduated Queens University and was wanting to go back to Japan.

She’d gone to Japan in the summer between her third and fourth years. She was there for three months, four months, whatever. And worked full-time.

She managed to pay all her travel expenses and bank, come back with 10 grand US cash. So she wanted to go back and do that and pay off her student loans. And I was just started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

And I found out that Hicks and Gracie had a Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym.

Bronson Hill: Hey, Darryl, we’re kind of getting in the weeds here. Let’s focus it in here. I love what we’re doing.

Let’s just make sure we get right to the spot. So you’ve done so many things, so much respect for what you’re doing. With the sustainable stuff that you’re doing now, and I don’t need to be, because it’s gonna take a long time for us to get where we wanna go.

Talk to us a little bit about these sustainable homes. You talked, you sent me something on this. I think it’s super fascinating.

You’ve got, is it, do you create these now? Is it something that you’re actually building these? Is it a partnership?

Can you talk just specifically of these two, three, four bedroom houses that you’re creating? And then you’re gonna have to love, you can talk a bit about that.

Daryl Urbanski: Yeah, you wanna talk about that? So it’s called the Oasis Bio Home. And basically, in the States, we have an offer, no money down, beautiful, self-sufficient home.

You can build in 90 days, pay off in three to five years and be food, power, water, self-sufficient. So you’ve taken the idea of that earthship, that concept of a house that collects rainwater, that’s built in a way that reduces need for heating and cooling by 80 to 90%. It’s got like an earth berm, and has a passive geothermal cooling.

Bronson Hill: And that- Well, can we slow down a little bit? So the earth berm is like you have dirt and you have grass on top, right? So that it’s more efficient, it’s less heating and cooling.

Daryl Urbanski: Yeah, it’s packed insulation. I mean, right now what we do is we take a bunch of sticks, we make a stick house, and then we take a bunch of fiberglass or whatever, or press styrofoam, and we stick it in the walls, and we call that insulation. We put some plastic over it, call it a vapor barrier.

And then we take a bunch of chalk and drywall, and put that over it, and that’s how we make it, which is fine. I mean, it allows us to build fast houses, but they’re not always necessarily sturdy, and they don’t necessarily last a long time. We’re using an FRP technology.

The company has seven patents. So I partnered, I basically partnered with this company on this new product line that they have. The factory’s in Cancun, but with over a hundred orders, we could pop up a factory.

We’re working at a ski resort of 1000 units in Brazil. We got Germany wants 20 units. We got Saudi Arabia, they want.

Who knows how many?

Bronson Hill: So this is, it’s a business venture that’s going, and then so you’re building in Cancun, and then you ship them. Do you put them on a boat and ship them, or how do you get-

Daryl Urbanski: Yeah, we can fit them into a container and ship them anywhere in the world. So it depends on the size of the house, but the idea is that it’s not a finished prefabricated home. It’s a modular panel prefabricated system.

And so what we’re providing is the external shell. So to give you an example, for a lot of people when they want to build a house, they have to get a bin on site, you prep the site, you’ve got all these material costs, a lot of wastage, and you’ve got all the time to put the external part of the house together, to frame the building, they build the trusses, all that stuff. For us, two to five days, you’re done, boom.

The container arrives, you pop it open, you assemble it, it’s almost like one set. These things line up, you put them together, and in two to five days, you’ve put this shell together, you’ve sealed it, it’s waterproofed. Now what you do is you do the electrical and plumbing roughing in on the exterior of the shell.

And it’s FRP, for people who don’t know what that is, it’s fiber resin polymer, and it’s the same stuff we use for spaceships and submarines.

Bronson Hill: Okay, so you have a foundation, do you have a foundation, or you don’t need a foundation for this?

Daryl Urbanski: No, no, you bolt it to the slab. So yeah, you have a cement slab, you bolt it to the slab. Yeah, you seal it, you do all the electrical plumbing roughing in, then you seal that as well, then you spray foam insulate that, which is a second layer of waterproofing, then you cover it with a black pond EPDM, kind of rubber lining, which is a third layer of waterproofing, then you bury it.

And so now you’ve got this little kind of hobbit house looking thing, and they rate super high, we got a bunch of them. So the old model was the Echo Green, and what I did is I got this company to take the Echo Green, and I paid for consultations with Michael Reynolds, the inventor of earthships, because the earthships are great, but they’re really slow to build, they’re stupid expensive. To build a house you need at least a thousand tires, it’s 30 minutes per tire, that’s 500 hours and all you have are the load bearing walls.

You have nothing done, nothing finished, nothing. And so that’s just a big labor debt at the beginning, 500 hours, like just swing.

Bronson Hill: What’s the website again, I know we’ll get this to the end, but what’s the website if you wanna check it out?

Daryl Urbanski: oasisbiohome.com, they can find out, they can also go to wonderfulstructures.com. So you can go to oasisbiohome, which is a dedicated site for the one model, or you can go to wonderfulstructures, who’s the manufacturer and we have, you can see the Echo Green there, they’ve built those in over 25 countries. And like I said, what we did is with the Echo Green technology, it solves the external building part of an airship.

So we took the airship systems and put them into this. So for example, people may or may not know a house has two types of wastewater. They got gray water and black water.

Black water is your toilet water and sometimes it’s kitchen water. You get oils, you get meat, you get vomit, you don’t know what you’re getting in the kitchen sink. So black water is kind of like- So let me just describe this for real.

Bronson Hill: So I encourage you to go to the website oasisbiohome or wonderfulstructures.com. And if you see this, it looks like, I mean, the whole roof and the side walls are grass. And so you have basically everything, it’s way more efficient because you have that, you have plants inside and then there’s a lot of sustainable features here.

I mean, you really can build it on top of the ground. It kind of looks like it’s grass. I just don’t know why more homes don’t do this because it’s so efficient.

Tell me about the other sustainability sides as well. You’ve got, so you have a way more energy efficient and you cook, you can like grow vegetables aside sometimes, people are growing vegetables.

Daryl Urbanski: Well, that’s why I was talking about the water. So black water, you can’t do a lot with it necessarily because it can be toxic to humans. So that goes to the septic tank or to the sewer, but the gray water, which is wastewater house, the reason why that’s pollution is it’s full of soaps typically.

And soap is high in nitrogen and phosphate. And so when you put that into a lake or a stream or a river, it causes the plant life to bloom and it upsets the natural ecosystem between plants and animals. That’s why it’s pollution.

So because we all know if there’s too many rabbits, then the foxes increase. And if there’s too many foxes and not enough rabbits, but you upset the natural balance. But by pumping the gray water through a garden, like basically a, I just had a brain fart, I forget the term, but it’s a gravel, it’s like a gravel, it’s gravel, sand, dirt, garden beds.

And you pump it into the bottom. So your shower, your bathroom sink, your washing machine drain all hook up to these indoor garden beds. That’s fertilizer.

It’s fertilizer. So you don’t have to fertilize your garden ever. You just take a shower and you’re watering your garden.

And so, and then you have, cause a lot of people like indoor plants, but they forget to water them or like can keep one alive. Well, if it just lived off like part of an ecosystem. So now with this oasis bile home, most stick built houses in the United States are about $150 a square foot on the low end up to $300 square foot.

We come in at about $126 a square foot and that’s finished ready for occupancy. That’s your fixtures, your plumbing, your assembly, your shipping, all that sort of stuff with ours. So we come in with a lower price product.

Now you can spend, we have people that have spent, we had a guy in Tennessee that built an Echo Green and he spared no expense. You can get gold toilets and fly in, marble countertops from Italy. You can do all that stuff if you want.

But if you’re just looking for like the Home Depot, especially you’re just gonna grab some nice cabinets there and that we’re about 120. It’s about 2.5 times our listed price. So if you take a look at our, what we provide the prefabricated part and you 2.5 exit, you double it 0.5. That gives you a rough ballpark estimate for what it would be for ready for occupancy. If you’re in a country like Mexico and the Philippines, it’s closer to two times. So if the list of what you see is 50 grand from us, then you double it. Mexico and the Philippines, it’s a hundred grand.

And the States would be like 112,000. So that’s our smallest model. That’s like 760 square feet on the interior.

Our largest model I think is 85,000. So it’s the same thing. Germany, it’s about 2.7x. They pay a little bit extra there, but that’s ready for occupancy.

Bronson Hill: And this is, and this is like, so let’s say I’m an investor or I wanted to build a house like this. I’ve got to order the kit. You guys sent it over and then I still have to have a contractor put it together and put the different pieces.

And what’s the total time to kind of get it moving ready once your container arrives, I guess generally.

Daryl Urbanski: So manufacturing is about three to five weeks, then shipping. And then like I said, you can assemble it in two to five days. And then with all the exterior finishes, you’re talking about two weeks.

Now you’re in two weeks to maximum a month, if you’re slow. And then it’s all interior finishings after that.

Bronson Hill: Some of these people would do like on your wonderful structure site, some people would be like you said, high-end homes, some people are doing Airbnb, some people are like cool spots that you can create this really unique experience. And then I imagine, you know, there’d be investors. Investors want to do Airbnb’s, investors want to create a second home or something like that.

And just so like, again, if you don’t, if somebody’s driving or something, can’t go to these sites and see it, it doesn’t look like you’re like in the ground or something. Like it looks like a house.

It’s luxury. It’s really nice looking.

Daryl Urbanski: Yeah, if someone registers on the website and contacts me, I can send them a list of ones that are listed on Airbnb. And these are even some of the earliest models. And they’re like, a lot of these are rated as top 1% on Airbnb, top 5% on Airbnb.

Worldwide, these models, the Echo Green model, which is the Oasis without the systems, it’s rating, it’s like five out of five. There’s one in Ecuador, five out of five with 67 reviews. Like I said, we built them in over 25 different countries.

And now what we’ve done is like, there’s a guy in Hawaii who built one. Once he got his built, then he bought solar panels and a rainwater system. It’s like duct tape of bubble gum trying to have this hybrid, not necessarily off-grid, but hybrid living setup.

And the Oasis just has it blended in there. So the idea is that you buy this, you build it, you pay it off. And now you’ve got no power bill, no water bill are drastically reduced.

You’re more resilient to the elements, the outside temperature, where is it gonna change the inside temperature very much? And you can grow a small amount of food because this is something we talked about for you at Record, a lot of people, like it’s great to have money. COVID for me was a wake-up call that I can have life insurance in a big bank account.

But when I’m locked in my condo and I can’t go to the grocery store, or if I’m in it, because I was in Vietnam, I didn’t speak the language. We got locked in our condo in the beginning of February.

I couldn’t go to the grocery store, couldn’t go to an ATM. I could order stuff online, but I don’t read Vietnamese. You know what I mean?

So it’s like, none of that stuff is any good at this point. That’s great. I’ve had friends that have been places when hurricanes hit.

I’m one buddy who told me a story about the hotel, the windows popping because the wind was so strong and the hotel flooded with water and that. And then after the aftermath was what was dangerous because the gas station, the gas pumps don’t work, the ATMs don’t work. You only got the cash that’s on you that you can carry.

Man, it would be so good to have a place to go. And you don’t have to worry about any of that. You got power from the sky.

Even if you don’t have power, you got water from the sky. The whole building’s designed to collect rainwater. So the building, you build a French drain around the property that collects all the rainwater and that you pump up and then use it.

It gets, you know, again, you can be on city water. You can be hybrid or off-grid. But we’ve got people that are looking at putting these next to Hilton Five Star Hotels because there’s, you know, if you, when you buy land, because if you want to build a building, you need power, water, sewer, the land you buy comes at a premium because somebody had to invest the money in the infrastructure.

But if you have a house that you can put anywhere, you can buy land for pennies on the dollar and build this and still have a functioning unit, still have a functioning home. Depending on where you are, what’s the annual rainfall, right? And as long as you got that figured out and for most, the punchline is most places you’ll be fine.

Yeah. Most places you’ll be fine. So now you can do, there’s people that want to do this for retirement communities.

The lady in New York, she wants 26 to 86 for a retirement community. Like I said, we got a guy that wants these as ski resorts in Brazil. I thought he was pulling my leg because I’m like snow in Brazil.

Apparently they’re working on it. It needs to sort of break through the snow maker. There’s people that are really, you know, that are really preferred type.

There are people that want to build them as a rental. There’s people, there’s a family that just wants to build a couple. We’ve got one in Hemet, California that are looking into building eight units and like a little cul-de-sac kind of configuration.

You know, just selling three to family members and renting out the others. But to me, these houses are lifeboats and they really represent freedom because a lot of people I did, you know, I do business coaching and consulting and I held a mastermind lunch in Singapore and I had about 10 business leaders there. And one of these guys, I was talking about the Oasis cause I was really excited about it.

Then he said, well, you know, Darryl, Singapore has got one of the highest percentages of home ownership in the world. And he felt really proud. He’s a nice guy.

I said, do you mean condos? And he said, yes. I said, how long can you miss your condo fee before they take your precious condo away from you?

So they own their home, but they’ve got to pay their insurance and their water bill and their electric bill and their condo fees. And so it’s death by subscription. That’s not real.

Like Florida has been talking about abolishing property tax. Cause when you pay off your house and then if you miss $2,000 in taxes, they’re going to steal your house from you. This is ridiculous.

I’m from Canada. If you’re in a high income earning bracket, you’re going to pay 36% federal income tax. And then you’re going to pay 13, 14% provincial income tax.

Every dollar you spend in your day-to-day life, you are paying a 15% sales tax on everything you buy. And then when you die, if you leave things to relatives, there’s a 50% inheritance tax. You are on a tax farm.

You are a tax slave.

Bronson Hill: Sounds like California. Yeah, we’re about 39% federal taxes. And then another 13, 14% taxes on top of that.

And if you’re self-employed, it’s another 10, 12%, whatever the amount is on top of. So 60% for some people.

Daryl Urbanski: This is nonsense. It’s complete nonsense. It’s just a complete perversion of what it’s supposed to be.

I’m all for paying my due to help support the bottom, those less fortunate, and to help the gears of society move. But this is the foxes in the hen house. This is not sustainable.

Bronson Hill: We didn’t have an income tax in the US until 1913, until the Federal Reserve, and it was very minimal. It was like 2% or something. It was like a very low amount.

Daryl Urbanski: I think it was less than 12% of people and it’s still supposed to be voluntary, but they don’t want necessarily, I don’t know, there’s who knows. There’s a whole self-sobered man thing about that.

Bronson Hill: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Having a second passport and all that.

Daryl Urbanski: You build an oasis because it’s not a finished home. We’re really looking on projects in Florida that have to be certified, is it NOAA, NOA certified for category five hurricanes? So we’re just doing extra sand cement buttressing.

We built houses in Australia after the brush fires. We applied, it has to have a certain fire retardant.

Bronson Hill: Have you guys built in California yet?

Daryl Urbanski: Yeah, I mean, there’s like a dozen of these in California, but they’re the older models. They’re not the new oasis. We’ve got about 60 oasis projects that are underway right now around the world.

Everyone’s somewhere between land builder permit and we’ve got, I think four houses that are done. One we just shipped out and two that are in the factory that are just waiting to be shipped out and another one. So we’ve got tons of case studies of people that have built these in 60 to 90 days, like finished and ready for occupancy.

And if you put two feet of dirt on this thing, that’ll protect you from nuclear radiation. You get some bulletproof glass, you get those heavy duty shutter roll downs and it looks, for people go to the website, you’ll see these things are beautiful. So for those that don’t have $100 million to build a bunker like Kim Kardashian or Zuckerberg or whatever, you could build this thing and it would be a nice beautiful home.

That’s also actually incredibly resilient, very easy to make. You could very easily wrap a Faraday cage around this with some copper wire or something. And you’ve got this, that’s why it’s the oasis by home.

It’s an oasis and a house of an affordability crisis. An oasis and I can’t afford land to build a home. It’s an oasis and I need a home and I need a forever home somewhere I can live and I don’t necessarily have to worry.

You know, and I mean, I have an aunt in Canada. I know you’re trying to reel me in here, but Canada has this great program because the government’s pilfered the social securities funds. And so they wanna get rid of all as many old people as they can.

So they have this medically assisted intentional death program made where basically you go see your doctor, you’re like, hey, I’m kind of feeling sad. And they go, oh, have you tried dying? You’re like, no, I haven’t considered that.

They go, oh, it’s great. You should really try it. And you go, really?

And they go, yeah, come back next Thursday. So you come back next Thursday and they put you down like a dog and the doctor gets their 20 grand or whatever fee for killing you. Then you, the government inhales all your assets and doesn’t have to pay you your social security because the politicians are corrupt.

And anyways, mismanage the funds. So I have an aunt in Canada that got that program for that exact reason. She didn’t want to ask for help.

My parents know five people that have taken that program. And the majority of the reasons are people don’t want to be living on the street when they’re old. And then what are they gonna do?

Like what am I getting? What am I getting?

Bronson Hill: Like assisted suicide for older people. Is that what it is?

Kind of thing.

Daryl Urbanski: For older people or if you’re, you know, you got medical issues in that, it’s an opt out. It’s an opt out. And I’m so sick of this with the way society is gone.

I get it. But there’s a huge anti-humanity sentiment. And I’m just, this is, you buy an Oasis bio home.

This is a legacy. You own this. It can feed you.

It can protect you. For the States, cause you’re in the States. You know, what’s crazy is some States don’t allow you to collect rainwater, which is crazy.

I’m like, what’s next? You’re gonna tell me I can’t, sorry, you’ve had your quota of sunlight today.

Bronson Hill: What’s the reason they would say that.

Daryl Urbanski: I have no idea. They’re psychopaths, control freaks.

I have no idea. I’m like, what’s next? You’re gonna regulate how much oxygen and sunlight I can have.

Oh, I’m sorry. Like this is just so stupid. Some of these things.

And that’s why I say at the beginning of the call, how we align ourselves and what we align ourselves for is mission critical. And I think, talk about the Oasis. Somebody’s got, there’s a guy he’s got a, I think he’s got 17 acres and he’s subdividing a subdivision.

He’s already subdividing the lots. And he doesn’t have to pay millions of dollars to put power lines and water mains and sewers out there. You can just build these.

You can just do dirt roads, build a model home and then build as they sell and build the subdivision.

Bronson Hill: So these would be, cause they have, they’re sustainable. You would create some sort of septic or you’d have water collection and then you wouldn’t need electricity cause you’d have solar panels and you’d be able to be totally self, totally off the grid.

Daryl Urbanski: So the solar kit is built into the price. So you don’t have to buy solar. So when you buy from us, you get the external shell of the building and the solar kits, five kilowatt hour system for the small units.

And then the larger homes, the 10 kilowatt hour system, which is a lot of energy. And because if you, even if you want to get solar, this is another, like again, you, so a lot of these companies, they want you to get their solar and listen, I don’t want to knock anyone because everyone’s got to make a living. So I get it.

But a lot of them, they lock you into having, there’s a guy in another guy I spoke to, he’s renting one of the small islands in Hawaii and the solar systems busted, but they have to go to the main company to service it. But the main company doesn’t have any offices in Hawaii. So we have to wait six months for there to be a buildup of houses that need to be serviced for the company to fly a guy over there to go and service them.

Whereas if I’m like, hey, here’s everything you need. Here’s the panels, here’s the batteries, the inverters. You just get an electrician to wire it up.

It’s not rocket science. None of this stuff is revolutionary, right? It’s just doing it smarter.

If you’re smarter, cheaper, better, faster, and we’re working on type permitting. So in Germany, we’ve already got, there’s a mayor that wants 20 units. We already have the local permits.

They’re working on getting type approval, which will fast-track any of these buildings in Germany. And once we get that, all of Europe opens up because Europe just follows Germany. We’re talking with the city of San Diego for ADUs about getting fast-tracked.

And actually at this, I said I was triple booked for this call. We’re talking to a guy in Oregon about the same sort of thing for getting him fast-tracked there to help with the permitting process to speed this up.

Bronson Hill: Yeah, it’s amazing. I wanna say I really appreciate your passion for this project. So obviously you’re doing this because you believe in it both from a sustainability standpoint, as well as helping people to get into something that they can be a bit off the grid.

They can have a home somewhere they don’t have to be relying on.

Daryl Urbanski: And even just think of COVID. If people had a garden that just was producing green peppers and a few permaculture crops, tomatoes, green peppers, some herbs and spices, you have a couple of chickens. How many people would have gone through COVID differently?

If they owned the home that they were in, if they had water from the sky, free power. It’s just, it’s a totally different approach. And I think it’s the way that we gotta go.

Bronson Hill: I think you’re right, I think you’re right. Well, Darryl, I really appreciate you, man. You’ve obviously shared a lot of value here today.

I think there’s a lot of applications from investors that want to develop, even in the area where I’m in, I live near the fires in LA. And so building ADUs or building this could be an option for that or somebody who’s building Airbnb’s or things like that. How can people reach out with you, connect with you and learn more about, and then we share those websites, we’ll put them in the notes.

But how else can people reach out to you?

Daryl Urbanski: Yeah, well, there’s not a lot of Darryl Urbanski’s out there, Urban Ski, U-R-B-A-N-S-K-I. If you’re seeing the video, you know what I look like. So you’ll know if it’s me or not.

I’m never selling crypto or any, get money rich in, if you ever contact me about an investment or if I ever contact you about an investment opportunity, we’ll meet on the phone. Just saying that, cause there’s a lot of that impersonation.

Bronson Hill: Oh yeah, that happens to me too.

Daryl Urbanski: We’ll hop on Zoom. We’ll hop on Zoom. Never send money to me unless we’re on Zoom or you’re on my website, but you can go to oasisbiohome.com and go to wonderfulstructures.com.

You can go to bestbusinesscoach.ca for Canada or California. You know, it’s the internet. I’m a click away.

I’m a click away. And a lot of people don’t realize how close they could be to real freedom. Not just, cause everyone’s trapped in the rat race.

And that was the original American dream. It was even the Canadian dream. They said, come to Canada, we’ll give you some land, make up the land that which you will and just pay a small amount of tax and you’re good.

And that has evolved into what we have now. And it’s just because it’s not sustainable. There’s food deserts.

There’s places where people can’t even get apples. They can’t get a single piece of like real food. Everything is processed.

And we know that processed food reduces your lifespan. Like some of this stuff is such nonsense. It’s not that we don’t have the ability.

It’s just, it’s so damn profitable to have people paying. My wife and I walked our neighborhood here in the Philippines. We’re in a rich, I got a general that’s one of my neighbors and some ambassadors that are other neighbors.

And this one neighborhood is at least a half a million dollars U.S. in electric bills. If everyone’s paying around what we pay for electricity. And that’s per month, right?

And I’m like, that’s so profitable. So, wastebiohome.com.

Bronson Hill: Awesome brother, we appreciate it. Thanks for being here, man.

Daryl Urbanski: Yeah, appreciate you too.

Bronson Hill: Are lots of passion here. You can tell Daryl super passionate about really helping people to be sustainable. And after we just stopped recording, he just mentioned that, hey, if I were 19, I were young, just, it would be amazing to have a business and just buy, you know, have a house that’s kind of off the grid.

And the reason why is because, I mean, wherever you live, utility costs have gone crazy. Actually, where I live in the great state of California, the People’s Republic of California, they say gas prices for cars. We’re at right, we’re close to $5 a gallon now.

They should be about around $8 a gallon or above $8.50 a gallon by next year, which is just, and there’s a whole story behind that, just the way that they’ve really demonized, you know, oil and gas and stuff that we really like to invest in. But I do think it is really important to start looking at things that are different, a contrarian way of living, right? If you’re going to live in a place that’s, you know, it’s a nice furnished place, but it has some unique ways of setting up, how do you actually create a place that is sustainable, that you can have, you know, food that you grow.

I actually have a farm stand at my house that I grow and I go out there every single, I travel, and I’m sure I’ll have to travel. So I go out there and I’ll grab in the morning, I’ll grab a bunch of kale and spinach and herbs and different things, and I’ll grab them and I’ll slice, chop them all up, you know, eat half for lunch and half for dinner. And so I just love, love, love doing that, love being able to have fresh veggies kind of whenever I want to have them.

So anyway, I hope you got some out of this. I hope that if you are looking to put in homes, this is an option for you. You talk about the Oasis homes or the wonderful structures, you can check out those websites in the show notes.

And I hope you enjoyed this episode. Look forward to catching you on the next episode of the Mailbox Money Show.
