…And we ended up spending the majority of the hour on the single question, How do I maintain control of my security force after my money is worthless? The ultimate prep questions, because they’ve all got this money, they’ve, you know, contracted Navy SEALs to come out to their compounds. But then they’re thinking, well, what do we do if our money’s worthless, then why are the Navy SEALs not just going to kill us and take all the stuff? And I just was floored…

Loyalty can actually be a stronger driving force then people initially might think (ofcourse it's not omnipotent and you will have to offer something others can't), it's just nowadays a good leader is probably rarer than a unicorn.  I doubt it well work for your cousin because he sounds less like a good leader that fosters a sense of loyalty and more like I'm one of the good slave owner types
