The "Jerk to God" Method | Wealth & Discipline Coach | Future of Switzerland Zurich, Switzerland • 2026
Everyone looks at the statistics and whispers. I look at them and see an army of wasted potential.
In 2026, Switzerland is still debating the same old number: 75%. That’s the percentage of foreign nationals sitting in our prisons.
Taxpayers pay 600 USD a day to keep them warm, fed, and bored. We are funding their stagnation. We are keeping them as "Jerks"—resentful, disconnected, and poor.
I proposed something different. A path from Jerk to God.
People called me crazy. They said, "Matias, you can't take a guy who barely speaks German, who broke our laws, and give him a weapon."
I said: "Watch me."
Here is the blueprint of the Swiss Foreign Legion Initiative (SFLI). Here is how we turn liabilities into assets.
The Gun is Responsibility
You don’t teach a man responsibility by locking him in a cage with a PlayStation. You teach him responsibility by handing him something dangerous and telling him: "This is for protection. If you mess up, you lose everything."
We took a unit of "high-risk" foreign inmates. We put them in uniform. We gave them the standard issue SIG SG 550.
Suddenly, they weren't inmates anymore. They were Protectors. For the first time in their lives, someone trusted them. The psychological shift? Instant.
The Dishwasher Protocol (The Mistake)
Discipline isn't about beating someone; it's about humiliation vs. honor.
In my unit, if you fail a drill, if you show up late, or if you disrespect the flag, you don't go to solitary. You go to the kitchen.
You do the dishes. For 1,000 men. By hand. It destroys the ego. It teaches you that if you don't want to serve as a warrior, you will serve as a cleaner.
One week in the "Dishwasher Protocol" and they beg for the mud. They beg for the duty. They learn that well-behaving buys you dignity.
Understanding "The Game"
Most criminals are poor because they don’t understand the game. They think value comes from taking. We taught them that value comes from providing security.
We employed them in the military logistics and border protection sectors. We paid them a soldier’s wage—not a prisoner's allowance.
They learned hierarchy.
They learned the Swiss standard of perfection.
They learned that protection is the highest form of service.
The Result? Six months later, I don't have prisoners. I have a platoon of men who speak three languages, know how to secure a perimeter, and have a bank account with legitimate savings.
They walked in as liabilities. They are walking out as Richer Men.
We stopped treating them like children and started treating them like men with a debt to pay. They paid it.
Switzerland gets safer streets. They get a future. From Jerk to God.

Whatever "prison" you are in today—mental, financial, or physical—pick up your weapon (your responsibility).
Or get ready to do the dishes.
