Today’s guest is Laszlo Kiss, who is making his return to the Expat Money Show after first appearing way back on episode 99. He has more than 30 years of experience in the offshore space since his first citizenship sale in 1997. Laszlo is a personal friend of mine and has been a mentor to me for a number of years. I invited Laszlo back to the show to discuss the various new immigration programs that have recently come out of his home country of Hungary. Who better than a Hungarian to help break it all down? &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH LASZLO KISS Listen to hear why, despite conducting his business in the expat world, Laszlo has decided to remain in his home country of Hungary.  Find out how the interesting influx into Hungary of students from both Iran and Israel are getting along together. Hear why Hungary has had to become more strict in recent years when it comes to its immigration policies. Learn the details of the different investment options available to pursue Hungarian residency. Listen to Laszlo and I break down the important distinction between having a residency in Europe vs. citizenship in regards to which countries you can actually live in.  Hear the fascinating story about the Hungarian man who acquired five different citizenships - without even leaving his village! What’s it like living next door to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine? Laszlo delivers his account from the ground. Listen to Laszlo’s first-hand breakdown of everything you need to know about life in Hungary, from safety to health care to cost of living and, of course, the food (always important to me!) &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 266: Is Georgia A Good Plan B Location For Expats? 264: How To Get A Backup Citizenship Or Residency 099: Best European Passports For Sale – Laszlo Kiss &nbsp; HOW TO FIND LASZLO KISS Email: expat@discussholdings.com Website: https://www.discusholdings.com/ &nbsp; CONCLUSION I have known Lazslo for many years, and I always have a blast talking to him. Hungary is a country many don’t often think about when it comes to an expat Plan B, but it certainly has a number of interesting advantages worth exploring.  As always, I try to provide as complete a picture as possible when breaking down a country, and there is quite literally no better expert in the world when it comes to gaining residency and citizenship in Hungary than Laszlo Kiss.

In today’s episode, I am going to provide a breakdown of my recent trip to Paraguay. Paraguay is a new country for me and is the latest stop on my quest to try to tick off all of the countries in Central and South America. I saw all of Central America over 20 years ago, but there are still some South American countries that are on my bucket list.  Today, you’ll not only learn about my time in Paraguay and my overall perspective on the country but also get a sense of the kind of things I look for when I am touring a new country for the first time, always with my listeners and clients in mind.  &nbsp; TODAY'S EPISODE ABOUT PARAGUAY Learn about my “hub and spoke” model for touring a country for the first time.  Hear about a little mishap with our room upon arriving in Villa Rica and how I turned that into an excuse to have an incredible meal.

Hear another of my tales of travel mishaps - this one involving my attempts to pay a Paraguayan cabbie.  Learn how Paraguay has leveraged its hydroelectric power, not just to provide electricity for its own people but also by selling power to neighbouring Brazil. Brilliant! I explain how the cheap electricity available in Paraguay has led to a boom in Bitcoin mining in the country - a unique potential area of investment to keep an eye on. Listen to me break down several of the exciting real estate investment opportunities I got to check out there.

As you can see, when I visit a country like this, I am there as much more than simply a tourist. Rather, I see myself as the first boots on the ground for any of my listeners or clients who might have an interest in pursuing residency or investments in that particular country.  I really enjoyed the...

In today’s episode, I am going to tell you guys all about the event we just had in Uruguay and give you an inside look at the kind of exploratory tours I do with my private clients.  These tours are so much fun, and today, you’ll get a little bit of insight into just how they are formatted and how these tours work overall. You’ll even hear some testimonials from actual clients who attended this tour in Uruguay.

I hope you’ll see not only see the great potential in Uruguay as a Plan-B location but, more importantly come to understand the kind of due diligence that my clients and I put in before investing or pursuing residency in another country. These aren't the sort of decisions to be made lightly, so no matter where you are on your expat journey, it’s important to start putting the wheels in motion and getting yourself informed about the options out here. That’s my mission here at the Expat Money Show.  I’ll see you back here next Wednesday, where I’ll break down what I learned visiting the country of Paraguay on my own exploratory trip there. See you then!

In today’s episode, I am going to detail the recent trip that I made to Prague via Costa Rica, via Germany, and then on the way back through Turkey, Cuba, and then back to Panama.

I never try to glorify things when I relay my experiences, and as you can tell, international travel isn’t always a walk in the park. This trip certainly had its low points, but in the end, it’s all a part of the adventure, and I’m certain you can take a few tips from my experiences. See you all next week!Mentioned in this episode:ExpatGuideBooks.comExpatGuideBooks.com

Today’s guest is Titus Gebel, a German entrepreneur with a Ph.D. in International law. He is the inventor of the “Free Cities” concept and the founder of the Free Cities Foundation. He is also the CEO of Tipolis, where he is focused on creating and developing autonomous cities by partnering commercially with governments and special economic zones around the world.  I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Titus over the years as I have served as both an Ambassador for the Free Cities Foundation and a member of the Advisory Council for Tipolis, and I’m excited to share today’s conversation in which we discuss the future of what is now being rebranded as “International Cities.” &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH TITUS GEBEL Listen to Titus detail how his ideas about free cities spawned from his frustration with politics.  Hear about Titus’s unique background in politics, law and entrepreneurship that made him the ideal person to craft the vision of the free cities concept. Learn about the many success stories that have emerged from the free cities model, including the widespread increase of special economic zones (SEZ’s). Titus and I discuss the concept of “government as a service” and how the services we’re used to getting from coercive governments can be delivered through the free cities model. Listen to Titus explain the new branding of “international cities” to counter the allergy governments have to the words “free” and “private.” Titus and I roll our eyes together at the concept of the “social contract,” -  the terms of which seem to change based on the whims of whoever is enforcing it. Hear Titus lay out the reasons why contractual governments are much better protectors of rights than the current coercive model.  Titus hints at the regions where we may see some of these International Cities popping up in the coming years.

In today’s episode, I bring you the final part of my four-part series discussing my experience travelling in each of the four countries I visited on my recent trip. In previous episodes, I discussed Turkey, Georgia and Armenia. Be sure to check those out if you missed them. This week, I’ll talk a bit about my time spent on the last leg of my trip in Azerbaijan. How did it compare to my experiences in Georgia, Turkey and Armenia? Which, in the end, has the most potential for expats?  &nbsp; TODAY'S AZERBAIJAN TRIP REPORT Tune in to hear how our initial impression of Azerbaijan of feeling like we were back in our old home of the UAE was quickly turned on its head once we arrived in Baku. Listen to me break down how Azerbaijan is like a weird mix of several countries I’ve been to before, with minimal feeling of a culture of its’ own. You’ll be shocked to hear how much of life in Azerbaijan is controlled by the government, and you can imagine how I felt about that.  I describe the F1 race track that runs through the city streets of Baku, which has quite literally shaped the city. Listen to my absolute indignation at our visit to what I called the “Museum of Propaganda” in Baku.  Hear me describe the stark contrast between the feeling in the countryside vs the big city once we got out of Baku. I explain how - much like in Armenia - the people of this country are deeply scarred by the conflicts with its neighbour.  Listen to the story of our simply unbelievable cab driver, quite possibly the most incredible driver I’ve ever had. I can’t stop thinking about this! Hear me break down Armenia’s truly horrendous response during the COVID hysteria. This is about as anti-liberty as it gets.  Tune in for my final assessment of Azerbaijan and the three other nations I visited on this trip. Which has the best overall potential for expats?

Azerbaijan is a country that doesn’t get a ton of attention from expats - and for understandable reasons. But I always...

In today’s episode, I bring to you part three of my series, breaking down my experience in each of the four countries I visited on my recent trip. I already discussed Turkey and Georgia in recent episodes - be sure to go back and check those reports out as well.  This week, I’ll discuss my time spent in the interesting country of Armenia. Does this country have the potential for expats? You’ll get all my thoughts in today’s episode.  &nbsp; TODAY'S ARMENIA TRIP REPORT Tune in to hear how my initial first impression after taking the train into Armenia was quickly flipped around after I ventured downtown Yerevan. Hear about the HUGE difference I noticed right away that put Armenia a notch above Georgia. As with the Georgia episode, you’ll once again have to hear me rave about the incredible food. Which country’s food did I rank higher in the end? Learn how I found Armenia to be more business-oriented and entrepreneurial than neighbouring Azerbaijan - which I’ll elaborate on in next week’s episode. Listen for an inside look at my visit to a building site. How did the conditions hold up compared to the first world? I give my take from the ground on how the geopolitics involving the war in Ukraine have affected the situation in Armenia.  Find out how friendly I found the people in Armenia to be towards visitors compared with Georgia. Learn how the Armenian genocide and the on-again, off-again war with Azerbaijan affect the country's people to this day. Hear my final verdict on all aspects of Armenia for expats, from banking to the cost of living to the political situation.  &nbsp; SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER Sign up for our newsletter and get my FREE special report, “Plan B Residencies and Instant Citizenships.” &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 266: Is Georgia A Good Plan B Location For Expats? 263; How To Get.A Turkish Passport 180: Residency and Citizenship Updates - Mikkel Thorup &nbsp; CONCLUSION That does it for Part 2 of my trip report, and I hope you all learned a lot about Armenia, a country that really goes under the radar. It’s a lovely place and one certainly worth visiting at a minimum. But it does bring a lot of baggage as far as a Plan-B location for expats goes, many of which concern the geopolitical situation and the constant problem with its’ neighbour, Azerbaijan. Well, Azerbaijan just happened to be the next stop on my trip, and it will be the subject of next week’s...

In today’s episode, I deliver an in-depth report of my time spent in Georgia. This is part two of my series breaking down my experience in each of the four countries I visited on my recent trip, starting back in episode 263 with my report on Turkey, with two more reports on the way on my trips to Armenia and Azerbaijan.  &nbsp; TODAY'S GEORGIA TRIP REPORT Listen in for the full story about our experience with a baseball bat-wielding cab driver (no, really!)  Hear my take on where Georgia ranks in terms of “friendliness” out of the four nations I visited on my trip. You’ll salivate as I describe the mind-blowing food we ate in Georgia - it was nothing like I expected!  Tune in to hear my biggest disappointment about dining in Georgia. This one was a big letdown. Learn about how the influx of Russians and Ukrainians into Georgia has affected the economic situation on the ground.

As I’ve said many times, there is no “Shangri La” perfectly free country that exists, and that’s why I always set my feet on the ground in a country and go through residency processes myself so that I can relay the reality to my clients, and I take the same approach with this podcast when discussing these countries.  As with any other country, Georgia has a mix of good and bad qualities, and only you can be the final judge on which countries strike the right chord with you.

This is the episode that you won’t want to miss. I start with the most basic language, so you’ll fully comprehend and understand it. I discuss the difference between temporary and permanent residencies and why they are so important to understand. The next step up is citizenship. What does this mean? What must you do or complete to become a citizen in a new country? Are you thinking about starting a family or having additional children? Listen as I talk about birth tourism and what it can mean for you and your family. One of my main focuses is on Residency by Investment. What does that look like, and how can you obtain one? What is a Golden Visa? You may have heard this phrase. The next piece of information I cover is Citizenship by Investment. The countries that offer it, and why I believe it is so important. I run through the countries that currently have citizenship by investment and the costs involved. &nbsp; THE EXPAT MONEY SUMMIT Do not miss the Expat Money Summit this October 2-6, featuring experts like Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Doug Casey, Tom Woods and more!

In today’s episode, I bring to you a personal report of a portion of my month-long trip that I just returned from as we focus on my time in Turkey, including an update on the citizenship by investment I am working on from there. While it was an incredible trip, it wasn’t all roses, as we had some challenges to face along the way.  I don’t hold back - you’ll get the good, the bad and the ugly of my experience in Turkey, one of my favourite countries. Enjoy! &nbsp; TODAY’S EPISODE ABOUT MY TURKEY TRIP Find out what it was like travelling with my entire family - my wife, the kids, my mom, and even the nanny - through four different countries. Learn about some of the difficulties I encountered while pursuing my citizenship by investment program for Turkey. Hear about all the incredible (and not-so-incredible) properties that I saw and the endless hurdles we faced along the way while shopping for real estate. Find out how we ran into a major complication with our CBI due to our marriage taking place outside of both of our native countries. Listen in to hear about our run-in with a pickpocketer that snatched my mother’s purse - a stark reminder to never let your guard down while travelling.

While I went into this episode with the plan to discuss my entire trip, the conversation about Turkey and the efforts I am making to achieve my citizenship by investment was plenty enough to fill its own episode.  In a perfect world, I’d only have positive things to report about the process, but one of the reasons I do these programs is to find the roadblocks so that my clients don’t have to. And rest assured, when it’s all said and done, I will be the owner of a Turkish passport. If you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes glimpse into my experience in Turkey, leave a comment and let me know.

He spends his time between the UK and Portugal, where he is pursuing residency. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH LAURENCE EASEMAN Listen as Laurence recounts his fateful trip up a mountain that changed his life and led to him pivoting away from filmmaking into becoming a full-time advocate for personal sovereignty.  Hear how the onset of the COVID regime shut down Laurence’s business in the UK and triggered him back into full-time activism and his current efforts on the “Eyes Wide Open” podcast. We discuss the concept of activism - how it can make you a “moving target” like Laurence and why I do not consider myself an activist.  Find out why Laurence has embarked on his own expat journey and is currently pursuing residency in Portugal. Listen in to hear how Portugal got put on the “red list” by the UK, banning its citizens from travelling there for not initially fully going along with the COVID narrative.  Hear Laurence break down how the powers that be utilize their illusion of authority to manufacture consent for tyrannical measures.  Laurence and I talk about the dark side of technology and why we both find value in places that are somewhat “backward in time” with their technological systems.  We discuss the absolute flood of Canadians fleeing during the last few years of the Trudeau regime, reflected in the fact that Canadians are now taking up the majority of my private clients.  Lastly, Laurence and I share in our passion for using homeschooling as a strategy to shield our children from psyops while depriving the state of its essential workers.  &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 252: Spit in the Eye of the Globalists - Tom Luongo 248: How To Build A Parallel System and Just Leave 245: Fleeing the UK Lockdowns to Become a Sovereign Individual - Johnny HODL &nbsp; HOW TO FIND LAURENCE EASEMAN’S WORK LaurenceEaseman.com Laurence Easeman on YouTube &nbsp; CONCLUSION I had a blast speaking to a kindred spirit in Laurence Easeman, who shares my passion for individual liberty and personal responsibility.

Hear Johny lay out some of his rules for trading, most of which he had to learn the hard way - by making costly mistakes.   Johnny and I discuss the difficult but necessary task of removing feelings and emotions from the trading process.  I recall how some of the lessons I learned myself the hard way by losing money in my options trading days. Johnny explains his motto for trading: "1% day keeps the 9 to 5 away.” Hear Johnny describe the disturbing trend with IPOs over the last couple of decades which has seen many retail traders left holding the bag.  Johnny and I discuss the outlook for new traders looking to enter the market now, as high-interest rates have put an end to the flow of free money. Will the dollar remain the world’s reserve currency for much longer? Johnny gives his prediction of what’s in store for the world’s currency markets.  We discuss the fine line between being prepared for what is going to happen economically without acting like “The End” is always around the corner.  Lastly, Johnny highlights the sharp increase in happiness he has found since leaving his “abusive relationship” with Chicago and starting a new life in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 237: What's It Like Relocating to Mexico When the World Doesn't Make Sense - Jonathan Lockwood 123: Investing in Foreign Stock Markets Like A Boss - Eric Schleien 093: Why Are People Leaving The USA – Travis Luther &nbsp; HOW TO FIND JOHNNY’S WORK Peddling Fiction Podcast  Peddling Fiction Substack &nbsp; CONCLUSION What I had first planned as...

Today’s guest is Alex Voss, a board member and the CFO of TIPOLIS, a company committed to becoming the creator, owner and operator of a global portfolio of international, autonomous cities.  Alex also shares an affinity for topics like Bitcoin, Austrian economics and free cities, so as you can imagine, we get along great. Alex and I have known each other for a few years now, and it was great to sit down and pick his brain on the topic of free cities. Enjoy! &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH ALEX VOSS Listen to Alex detail the pathway that took him from an interest in Austrian Economics to directly applying that knowledge through his work with Tipolis.  Learn the differences between the for-profit company “Tipolis” and the not-for-profit “Free Cities Foundation.” Alex answers the question on everyone’s mind when it comes to “free cities”: where does the money come from, if not from “taxes" in the traditional sense? We discuss one of the most well-known “free cities” projects in Prospera, Honduras, and provide an update on the troubles they’ve encountered with the government there. Hear Alex further explain the business model behind free cities and how the risk associated with these projects is “built-in” to the price. If everything were perfect and predictable, the costs wouldn't be as attractive as there are today. You are paid handsomely for the perceived risk. Alex and I discuss the interesting case of El Salvador and whether its’ adoption of Bitcoin could make it a prime location for a free city project itself.  Listen to Alex give an inside look at how and why the doors have rapidly begun to open in the last several years when it comes to finding opportunities with sympathetic governments for potential free city prospects.  We discuss how the economic impact of the COVID years, along with the rise of digital nomadism, have completely changed the landscape for the viability of free cities.  &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 222: Best Of Special Economic Zones And Private Cities 214: Stacking Laws Like Lego Blocks To Secure Your Freedom - Patri Friedman 192: Building Free Private Cities Around The World - Peter Young &nbsp; HOW TO FIND ALEX VOSS’ WORK Alex’s Substack: virtusvoss.substack.com Tipolis: https://tipolis.com &nbsp; CONCLUSION One of my favourite parts of what I do with Expat Money is all the great people like Alex I’ve had the opportunity to connect with through the shared interest of helping others achieve more liberty in their lives.

In today's episode, we are going to break from format a bit, as it has been a crazy week in the expat world, with a ton of news breaking that affects a number of popular CBI programs. Unfortunately, none of it is good news. I'm not here to sugarcoat things but rather to deliver the truth of what is going on in the world so that you can make the best decisions possible on your expat journey. Tune into this special breaking news edition of the Expat Money Show, wherein I break down all of the changes that have occurred in the last week and how they will affect those looking to do citizenship-by-investment programs in certain countries. I also provide some insight into my own experience working through a St. Kitts CBI for myself. Luckily having gotten my paperwork done before these changes, I will most likely be unaffected by this.

The best we can do is stay up to date on what is going on and plan accordingly. I emphasize to my clients all the time to "act now" because you never know when these programs will change or just end altogether. This week is an unfortunate real-life example of just that.Mentioned in this episode:Expat Money SummitExpat Money Summit

Today’s guest is Jim Lennertz, an American-born entrepreneur and adventurer. Raised in a beach town during California's "Golden Age," he became a self-described "well-educated surfer" who gathered real-world experiences and realized that the prescribed life path was not for him. He currently lives with his wife in Southern Brazil, and he’s also an admin in our private Facebook group at ExpatMoneyForum.com.

Hear Jim and I discuss the importance of “breaking bread” in person, especially today when so many of our interactions are digital. We discuss why Jim feels more safe and secure with his current situation in Brazil than he would if had the same situation back in California, which he calls a “dead state walking.” Jim and I go back and forth a bit on the pros and cons of investing in agricultural land based on our slightly different outlooks. If you’ve thought about investing in agricultural land, you cannot miss this conversation! Listen to us discuss why learning the local language as an expat is not just a convenience; it’s a matter of personal responsibility.

Today’s guest is the news editor over at Antiwar dot com and host of the daily podcast Antiwar News with Dave DeCamp. In this episode, we will be discussing the geopolitical situation as we head into a possible World War III scenario. While it’s not the cheeriest of subjects, this is a necessary conversation to have given the current state of affairs, so I hope you find great value in it. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH DAVE DECAMP Listen to Dave recount how he first became a passionate antiwar activist and how he was able to turn that passion into speaking about the subject full-time.  Hear Dave break down the current geopolitical situation involving Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. and its NATO allies, and why we are closer to a hot war situation than at any time during the Cold War.  Dave breaks down how the situation between China and Taiwan is escalating simultaneously and how the United States has been sabre-rattling on the Asian front as well. Dave and I discuss the role of Elon Musk in providing Starlink support to Ukraine. Is he really a hero, as many libertarians seem to believe, or is he another wolf in sheep’s clothing? What would a full-scale war involving the U.S., Russia, or China look like? Dave breaks down the frightening possibilities of “warfare we’ve never seen before.” Has World War III already begun? Dave and I discuss the idea that the war has already begun and how the definition of just what constitutes an act of war has shifted so drastically in recent years. We discuss Turkey's unique role as a peace broker and a thorn in the side of NATO in many ways, even while being a member state.  What does Vladimir Putin want, and how far is the U.S. willing to continue to escalate its vast funding of the war in Ukraine? Dave and I both ponder these questions. We also dig into the role some surprising countries have played in escalating tensions, like my former home Canada and even the supposedly neutral Switzerland. Dave and I cap things off by discussing what the best region of the world would be if a full World War really does break out.  &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 242: De-Dollarization and a BRICS Commodity-Backed Reserve Currency 179: War In Ukraine And The Economic Ramifications - Swen Lorenz 069: Richard Maybury – How Will The Trade War With China Affect You And Your Investments &nbsp; HOW TO FIND DAVE DECAMP’S WORK AntiWar.com <span style="font-weight:

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Antony Sammeroff. Antony is a psychotherapist, economics journalist, the author of Universal Basic Income - For and Against, and the upcoming book Pharma Lie, People Die. Originally from Scotland, he has spent the past several years since the onset of the UK’s COVId policies living outside the country as a digital nomad in places like Mexico, Costa Rica, Turkey and most recently, India. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH ANTONY SAMMEROFF Antony and I discuss the nature of remote work and why Antony had already begun moving his work primarily online even before COVID policies shut the world down. Hear Antony describe the onset of the absurd COVID policies in his home country of Scotland and how that propelled him to take his business fully remote and to search for more sane parts of the world to reside in. Antony points out an interesting side benefit of the COVID travel restrictions - spending time in a place previously hadn’t planned to - in this case, Mexico. Hear Antony describe how the “COVID years” altered people’s sense of what they are allowed to say and has caused many to self-censor with friends, family and the workplace.  Antony describes the push for “subjectivity” within his education and profession, which is often a cover for leftist bias within institutions.  We discuss what it is like to hold “radical” (sane) positions in today’s post-COVID clown world and how Antony helps people in his practice deal with this feeling of friends, family and institutions acting like they are the crazy ones.  Antony and I discuss the concept of natural law and why so many libertarians were able to see through much of the BS of the last several years due to their ability to filter things through the natural law model. Hear Anthony’s opinion on “conspiracy theories” and mental health after a member of our Expat Money Forum on Facebook questioned my own mental health due to my emails criticizing the World Economic Forum.

Today’s episode celebrates 250 episodes of the Expat Money Show! I can’t believe some of the incredible people I’ve gotten to speak to doing this podcast, many of whom I admired years before this show, were even an idea in my mind.  It occurred to me that many of you hadn’t yet begun your expat journey when I started this podcast back in 2017, and there’s a decent chance you haven’t heard some of the biggest and best interviews that I’ve conducted over the years.  So this week, we’ll be checking out a sampling of top names I’ve interviewed since starting the Expat Money Show - people like Doug Casey, Grant Cardone, Jim Rogers, and the great Congressman Ron Paul.

Today’s guest is Ernie Baca - the host of the YouTube channel “Retired Life in Mexico NO BULL”  - who came on a few weeks ago in episode 246 to talk about his experiences living in Mexico and beating cancer in Mexico. If you haven't heard that episode, I highly suggest you go back and listen. It was unbelievable.  Today Ernie is back to talk a bit about his work in law enforcement, specifically in Latin America, and some of the safety concerns, tips and tricks, and anything to do with safety and security in Latin America. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH ERNIE BACA Listen to Ernie detail his extensive background in law enforcement, including working on HUGE cases that you’ve absolutely heard of, including John Gotti and Timothy McVeigh! Ernie explains what he means by the phrase “security is an illusion” - and how you can use that knowledge to understand your own security situation better. Hear Ernie unveils his security philosophy of mitigating risk. How can you find the balance to understand the reality of the situation best and assess your personal security situation?  Ernie describes how obtaining only partial information, whether from national news - or, in Ernie’s case, security reports - can lead to a skewed view of the security situation in a given area.  Ernie and I discuss the concept of situational awareness - how to use your knowledge and the knowledge of others to assess the level of security you need in any given time and place.  Ernie lays out some very simple rules for travelling, using the examples of Mexico and Brazil. Follow these tips, and you will more than likely be safe and sound wherever you go. Ernie and I discuss more of the little steps we take to “stack” security in our lives and turn situational awareness into a habit. Ultimately, it all comes down to taking personal responsibility. Ernie and I trade personal stories about various security-related situations and how situational awareness - or lack thereof - drastically altered the course of events. Ernie also reveals his ultimate trick for avoiding a bad situation - learning to trust your instinct.

Today's guest is Ernie Baca, a retired law enforcement professional with a distinguished career spanning 30 years. During his tenure with the United States Marshals Service, he was part of high-profile cases such as the Trials of John Gotti, the World Trade Center Bombers, and Timothy McVey. Upon retiring at the age of 52, he moved to Mexico and fell in love with San Miguel de Allende, where he initially settled before moving to Monterrey. He now serves the Expat community by sharing his experiences of moving, living, and travelling to Mexico through his well-known YouTube Channel, "Retired Life in Mexico NO BULL." &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH ERNIE BACA Listen to Ernie detail his backstory in various U.S. federal law enforcement agencies, leading him to find and fall in love with Latin America. Ernie details why he ended up moving to Mexico "by accident" upon retiring at the age of 52.  Hear Ernie describe the U.S. doctor's visit that awakened him to the idea that, perhaps, U.S. health care isn't the greatest in the world after all.  Your jaw will drop as you hear the nightmare of red tape and bureaucratic boondoggles Ernie had to manage to try to deal with U.S. health insurance companies.  Learn how Ernie's healthcare woes led to his wife suggesting the crazy idea of trying a doctor in Mexico. Ernie describes his absolute amazement at the rapid and excellent service he received in Mexico, getting the MRI he spent months trying to get in the U.S. the next day in Mexico at a fraction of the cost.  You will be floored to learn about the incredibly high level of treatment Ernie received all along the process of diagnosing and treating his cancer in Mexico.  Hear the inspiring perspective that beating cancer gave to Ernie and how it has propelled his new lease on life as he continues to enjoy the retired life in Mexico, cancer-free. &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 237: What's It Like Relocating to Mexico When the World Doesn't Make Sense - Jonathan Lockwood 164 - Medical Tourism In Colombia 136: Medicare For Expats - Danielle Roberts &nbsp; HOW TO FIND ERNIE BACA'S WORK "Retired Life in Mexico NO BULL" on YouTube &nbsp; CONCLUSION It was absolutely incredible to hear Ernie's story.

Today’s guest is Johnny HODL, a freedom advocate, podcast host, and digital nomad originally from the United Kingdom. In 2021 he decided to permanently leave the UK after becoming disenfranchised by that government's authoritarian covid policies. He now lives on the sunny Mexican Pacific coast, where he continues to work remotely in the Bitcoin industry. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY HODL Listen to Johnny describe the evolution of his political views and how adopting Bitcoin in 2016 led him to a more freedom-oriented philosophy. Johnny explains what was the exodus point that prompted him to permanently leave his home country of the United Kingdom. Hear Johnny and I discuss the hubris displayed by many in the West supporting lockdowns while many of those in the developing world didn’t have the convenience of “just staying home.” We examine why the “soft admission” of guilt over the COVID narrative isn’t enough of a recanting from those supporting it. Johnny and I talk about the lack of ethics in the COVID policies implemented and why even if all the data were correct, it would still be a major ethical violation to enforce lockdowns, vaccine mandates, etc. Listen to Johnny describe how, once you take the “red pill” regarding the nature of government, it’s hard not to see government at every level as a monopoly on violence. I drive home the notion that after 23 years of travelling the world and visiting over 100 countries, voting with your feet, i.e. being an expat and utilizing offshore markets, is absolutely hands down the best solution I have ever found.  We discuss how governments around the globe are starting to close their doors in various ways - including the looming threat of CBDCs. Johnny provides his view of what “sovereignty” is and how others can reclaim more of their sovereignty as he has by seeking out more freedom abroad. Johnny and I both reflect on how, once taking personal responsibility for every single aspect of your life and respect natural law, life simply gets better. We have an interesting back-and-forth on the correlation between wealth and happiness. Does the ethics by which the wealth is acquired affect the happiness of those who hold it? I’d love to hear my listener's thoughts on this! &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES <a class="in-cell-link"...

In today’s episode, I will share a third and final portion of my recent webinar on Brazilian real estate featuring our question and answer section. I’ve received such a great response and questions from listeners interested in this opportunity over the last few days, so I figured I would go ahead and share our Q&amp;A section.  As I discussed in part one, I believe Brazil presents the greatest opportunity among the BRICS countries to benefit from the coming de-dollarization. After John broke down the incredible opportunities to acquire Brazilian beachfront real estate with 12% net returns this past Monday in part two, today’s episode should clear up any lingering questions you might have. Enjoy! &nbsp; TODAY'S Q&amp;A ON BRAZILIAN BEACHFRONT REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS Listen in as John and I address the question of the language difference in Brazil. Can you get by with English or even Spanish, or do you need proficiency in Portuguese? We address what the medical system is like in Fortaleza and how the private medical system is very affordable.  Brazilian native Bruno gives his insights on all of the great activities available to do in this region of Brazil. You will never get bored here! Bruno also further explains the details of the rental program, including addressing the owner's personal use of the property.  I detail how we’ve set things up so you can get Brazilian residency by purchasing just two of these investment properties. Not a bad bonus! John breaks down why one-bedroom villas are the real “workhorses” for these investment properties. I explain why keeping your money in real estate right now is much safer than in the stock market or fiat currencies. We address the question on everyone’s mind - when will these units be delivered? You’ll see why you must act now to lock in these prices while they are in pre-construction. &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 243: Brazilian Beachfront Real Estate with 12 Percent Net Returns 150: Six Months In Florianopolis, Brazil - Mikkel Thorup 097: Global Real Estate Bargain Hunter Says Buy Beachfront – John Palumbo HOW TO LEARN MORE ABOUT BRAZILIAN BEACHFRONT REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES EMAIL: expat@BeachfrontOffers.com Phone: +1 (904) 674-6900 &nbsp; CONCLUSION If you’ve followed along this past week, you know how high I am on Brazil, especially this incredible Brazilian beachfront investment opportunity from my...

In today’s episode, I will share part two of my recent webinar on Brazilian real estate. I had so many people who were interested in this concept that they wanted to hear the rest of the presentation. So today, I’m going to share a special bonus episode in which I’m actually going to release my business partner John's presentation, and what he will be talking about is beachfront real estate in Brazil with 12% returns. As I discussed in part one last week, I believe Brazil presents the greatest opportunity among the BRICS countries to benefit from the coming de-dollarization. Enjoy this presentation in which you’ll learn more about the nuts and bolts of acquiring Brazilian real estate. &nbsp; TODAY'S DISCUSSION ON BRAZILIAN BEACHFRONT REAL ESTATE WITH 12% NET RETURNS Listen in as John explains why when it comes to real estate, he advises not thinking outside the box but thinking outside the country. John reveals his not-so-subtle secret to buying international real estate by following one simple rule. Can you really own beachfront property for under $100,000? John breaks down how it’s possible. Find out how you can use this strategy to “supercharge” your retirement portfolio. Learn the secrets of why Brazil is literally a buyer’s market right now. John and his daughter Morgan address the most common question they get about Brazil: “Is it a safe place to go?” Rio and Sao Paulo get all the love, but wait until you hear about this incredible tourist location in Brazil that you’ve probably never heard of! What is the secret to earning consistent rental income? John unveils the key metric he uses to determine where to buy. John and Morgan address another common first-world question: “What do I do without Walmart and Costco?” Learn how you could lead a world-class lifestyle in Brazil for a fraction of the money it would cost elsewhere.

In today’s episode, I am going to share a portion of this past weekend’s workshop on Brazil, in which I gave a presentation about the de-dollarisation that is happening in the world and what we're going to see with either a new reserve currency or a second reserve currency in the world. This is an extremely important topic that is going to affect everyone’s investments, and no “Plan B” is complete without factoring in what is going to occur with reserve currencies over the coming years. Enjoy! &nbsp; TODAY'S PRESENTATION ON DE-DOLLARIZATION AND A BRICS COMMODITY-BACKED RESERVE CURRENCY I break down why many nations are currently fleeing the dollar, paving the way for new potential reserve currencies. Tune in as I go through a number of headlines from around the world highlighting the steps many countries are taking towards de-dollarization. I lay out which countries I believe will join up with the BRICS countries, including a few that may surprise you.  I dig further into the prospects of a BRICS reserve currency, and just what it might be backed by. Listen as I explain how this de-dollarization movement might not only threaten the U.S. dollar but the very use of fiat currencies in the global economy. I further look at the sheer vastness of the BRICS countries in terms of sheer size, population and resources. It’s truly mindblowing to think of the potential of their combined power.  I address the biggest question my audience will be asking: so how do we play this? What can we do to profit off of what is to come? Aside from the question of which commodities to play, I also look further at the pros and cons of each of the BRICS nations themselves.  Lastly, I answer the question on everyone’s mind “What am I doing with all of this information?” I offer a glimpse into my financial strategy going forward as it pertains to de-dollarization and the BRICS nations. &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 205: From California to Brazil An Expat Story - Travis 150: Six Months In Florianopolis, Brazil - Mikkel Thorup 143: Building A Business And Finding Romance In Brazil - Kevin Koskella HOW TO LEARN MORE ABOUT BRAZILIAN REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES EMAIL: expat@BeachfrontOffers.com &nbsp; CONCLUSION I hope you enjoyed this taste of the workshop from this past weekend.

Today's guest is Josh Summers, host of the "All Things Secured" YouTube channel. Josh is an expert in online security and identity protection who has been living and working in Asia since 2006. He has written for Lonely Planet, published his own travel guides, and built multiple online brands that reach tens of millions of people each year. I am doing my best to constantly stay up to date on the latest developments in privacy and security, and I was thrilled to speak with Josh, one of the most well-informed voices on these issues. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JOSH SUMMERS Listen in as Josh recounts how living in highly surveilled China led him to take on a more complete understanding of privacy and surveillance issues. Josh and I discuss how we bridge the gap between our own personal privacy while still maintaining a personal brand and business. Josh explains why he sees himself as a “privacy pragmatist” in how he views finding the right level of achievable privacy for himself and his family. Listen as Josh details the 3 different solution sets for privacy - which one is right for you? We dig into how to look at the pros and cons of Big Tech companies and how even the biggest Big Tech villain can offer its own privacy advantages.  Josh lays out some of the most basic first steps that everyone with a baseline level of privacy concern should take. Have you done these yourself? Josh explains the concept of “salting” a password on top of using a password manager. This is a great idea that I’ll be implementing right away! Hear Josh emphasize the importance of holding the keys to your own security. Is your security in your own hands or that of a third party? Josh and I dig into some of the more advanced techniques for securing your devices. I’ll be curious to hear if my audience has been utilizing any of these tactics! We discuss how to navigate the KYC Problem. How can you protect your identity when everyone requires you to prove it?

Today’s guest is Sam Rivello, who left his home in Los Angeles, California in 2010 as a ‘life experiment’ to combine work and travel to see the world. Since then, he has spent “1 minute or more” in 81 countries, with an average time of 58 days per country. Over the past 12 months, he has travelled extensively throughout Africa and plans to spend at least another 12 months seeing what this amazing continent has to offer. Sam and I have a lot in common, and this discussion is chock full of nuggets of wisdom on every step of the expat journey. Enjoy! &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH SAM RIVELLO Listen in to hear Sam recount how he decided to try the “life experiment” of working while travelling “for two years” - which is still going strong thirteen years later! Wow! Sam reflects on what it was like becoming a “digital nomad” before the term was popularized - and the infrastructure challenges that came along with it.  We discuss the importance of setting personal boundaries when it comes to technology and the constant challenge of drawing a hard line between work and personal time.  Sam explains how he made the professional choice to take more long-term ownership and responsibility for his own lifestyle as a full-time expat, to ensure balance in all areas of life.  Listen as Sam breaks down the challenge of expats and those leading a digital lifestyle to break a lot of their old mindsets in order to make the lifestyle sustainable for them.  We discuss the concept of “nomad burnout” as Sam explains what led to his decision to live for an extended period of time as an expat in Scandinavia. Sam details how the Danes have a very different concept of what entails “friendship” and the difficulty of breaking into pre-established friend groups there in Denmark.  We dig into our shared view that the expat lifestyle is a fantastic vehicle for learning, which makes it perfect for those with a passion for learning as Sam and I both hold.  We then discuss some of the reasons that many live vicariously through other expats instead of pulling the trigger and giving it a shot themselves. I’ve heard a ton of these before! Sam lays out some of the top reasons that some expats end up burning out from the lifestyle. Be sure to listen in for his advice on how to make sure this doesn’t happen to you! Listen to Sam’s insights on the key to learning a new language.

Often I get asked by subscribers and clients, "Hey Mikkel, What Are You Doing?" &nbsp; So I thought it would be helpful to record a quick episode on what I am doing with my own money to protect myself and my family from the financial armageddon that is on the horizon. &nbsp; This episode should give you a bit of insight into the way my brain works and what I think is important for us to defend ourselves. &nbsp; I don't expect my opinions to be popular, but at least I am honest. &nbsp; Enjoy, MikkelMentioned in this episode:Expat Money SummitExpat Money Summit

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is John Perkins. John is the author of the legendary book “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” and first appeared on the show way back in Episode 71. He has now published an updated version of the book titled Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition – China’s EHM Strategy; Ways to Stop the Global Takeover, featuring 12 new chapters breaking down how China has essentially become the world’s “economic hitman.” Longtime listeners will surely recognize that John and I share some differing world views, and I certainly do not endorse his beliefs on things like white supremacy, climate change, vegetarianism and feminism, to name a few. Nonetheless, his experience and insights are incredibly valuable, and you will certainly learn a ton from this conversation.  &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JOHN PERKINS: Listen in to hear John explain in detail what an “Economic Hitman” - or “EHM” strategy is from his own personal experience implementing it on behalf of first-world nations and banking elites and how he came to understand the dark side of what he was doing.  John details the predatory nature of the EHM strategy and the devastating effects it has had on third-world nations. You won’t believe the shocking statistics about the average age in Africa.   Hear John reveal the nefarious methods the EHM strategists use to manipulate statistics like GDP to display positive effects on the economy while the underlying reality paints a much bleaker picture for the citizens of the nations targeted by it. Then we discuss  the difference between honest entrepreneurship - the kind that I practice in my business - and “cronyism” or “predatory capitalism.” John explains how China has shifted its own economic hitman strategy under President Xi Jinping over the last ten years and their nefarious motivations for doing so.  We dig into what John describes as the “death economy” - as the EHM competition between the leaders of China and the United States wreaks economic havoc across the globe. John and I further discuss current global political issues and the different levels of attention conflicts in Ukraine and Yemen receive from the media and the general public. John drives home how many individuals have embraced changes in the last three years and the need to change our perception of our current socio-economic and governmental systems. We discuss the very different perceptions of “success” in Latin America and how things like spending time with family and friends often take higher priority than the gain of material goods in that region.  Lastly, we discuss China’s increasingly interwoven relationship with Latin America and the impacts, both positive...

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Jonathan Lockwood, a pro voice over talent originally from Detroit and currently living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. He now spends his spare time venturing deep into the Mexican countryside and finding amazing artisanal mezcal.  I enjoyed getting to know Jonathan and you are going to learn a ton from this conversation. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JONATHAN: Listen in to hear Jon share the story of how he grew up in an apocalyptic religious cult and how he “woke up” from the brainwashing, which helped him to see that things are not always as they seem. Jon describes how foreseeing the forthcoming fiscal nightmare in the United States led him to explore other options outside of his home country. Hear Jon describe the striking similarities with how politics created divisiveness in families over the last several years to his own experience rejecting the beliefs his family had raised him to hold.  We dig into our shared belief that it’s important not to condemn others for being behind where you are at any given moment in life.  Then we discuss how Jon wound up choosing San Miguel de Allende, Mexico as his home, where he now lives with his wife and their daughter.  Learn what Jon views as the surprising advantage of living in a country with an extremely inefficient government.  Jon relays a hilarious experience he had when he first attempted to speak Spanish upon arriving in Mexico - he had me stitches! We discuss the concept of “stacking freedom” as opposed to trying to find a “Shangri-La”, and how not to become paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong decision. Jon goes into detail describing the “melting pot” city of San Miguel de Allende, and how the locals have responded to the always-growing expat community there. You’ll be wanting to book your trip to San Miguel after hearing this! Then we discuss how Jonathan developed a passion for artisanal Mezcal that he sources from “the Disneyland of Mezcal” in Oaxaca, Mexico. I learned so much about Mezcal that I never knew before! &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 234: I Wrote a New Book on Moving to Mexico 213: From The Bay Area To Mexico an Expat Story - Ken 170: Searching For Freedom In Mexico - Marc

Today on the Expat Money Show, I am going to share a conversation I had last year on The Tom Woods Show. This interview has gotten such a great response since it first aired that I wanted to share it here with you to make sure you didn't miss it. Tom didn't let me off easy and really put me on the hot seat, bringing up a ton of objections that many who are first hearing about the expat lifestyle tend to come up with. &nbsp; Answering Common Expat Objections In this discussion, I respond to some common “black pilled" takes that Tom has heard about the negative side of expatriation, dispelling the notion that the advantages you can achieve outside your country of birth aren’t all that great when you break it down. There is no Shangri-La - no perfect libertarian country in the world. It does not exist. But that's not to be said that we can't get more freedom in our lives by being overseas or by jurisdiction shopping. I explain to Tom exactly what FATCA - the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act -  is and how it works, and why it’s even caused some Americans to go as far as to renounce their U.S. citizenship! I address Tom’s concern that whatever problems you have in the U.S., they may very well be worse outside the U.S., as was the case in certain countries when it came to COVID restrictions. Tom and I talk about how Americans can utilize the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to greatly reduce their tax burden while living overseas. I break down the concept of citizenship by investment and how the process typically unfolds for those with substantial funds to invest overseas. I lay out the many reasons to have a second passport, even if you do not plan to live outside your home country! I provide some definitive first steps to take for those that have caught the expat bug and are ready to take their expat journey to the next level. &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 221: What The World Can Expect In 2023 - Ron Paul 170: Searching For Freedom In Mexico - Marc Clair 093: Why Are People Leaving The USA – Travis Luther &nbsp; PURCHASE THE EXPATS GUIDE TO MOVING TO MEXICO Get your own copy of the Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico and after you read the book, do us a HUGE favour and leave us a great review on Amazon!

In today’s episode of The Expat Money Show, I am going to recap the last incredible week in Panama, beginning with a hugely informative conference for private clients and culminating in my 40th birthday party. Really the last week has been truly unbelievable. We had clients fly in from every corner of the world, literally from everywhere. I am still decompressing from a busy and eventful week, but I wanted to first stop and take the time to record this episode for you and update you all on some other goings on here at Expat Money while everything is fresh on my mind.  &nbsp; PANAMA CONFERENCE AND BIRTHDAY PARTY RECAP I recap the start of the week with the investor's conference I put on in Panama with private clients from diverse places like Germany, Thailand and New Zealand attending. I explain the difference between my "private" clients and my "regular" clients and how you can become one! This week highlights why I like to get to know my prospective clients personally before I take them on  - because I spend a LOT of time with them! The type of information provided at this conference would literally take months or even years of research to acquire on your own - offshore investing and residency is definitely not a 'DIY' type of thing. Meanwhile, we also formally launched The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico, which has already launched to #1 in the "libertarianism" category on Amazon! I also provide a preview of the upcoming trips I am planning in the next year for private clients. If these sounds interesting to you, read this important letter and consider if becoming a private is a good fit for you. Finally, I reflect on my 40th birthday party that was made so special by the 150 + attendees who travelled from places like Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, USA, etc. - all culminating in an amazing fireworks display! Ultimately, these events are about building a community and realizing that we aren't the crazy ones out there. We in the Expat Money community are building a better and brighter future for ourselves while much of the world goes mad. &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 234: The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico Is Here 208: From USA To Panama an Expat Story - Angela 207: From Arizona to Panama An Expat Story - Keith &amp; Yvette &nbsp; PURCHASE THE EXPATS GUIDE TO MOVING TO MEXICO Get your own...

Today on the Expat Money Show I am going to do a "freedom read", a concept inspired by my friend Kevin Koskella on his Freedom Lovin' Podcast, where he would read sections of prominent freedom books which I thought was such a cool idea. So today I am going to be reading the first few chapters from my recently published book, the Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico. We haven't even done an official launch of this book yet, so we need to help people realize it's out there. In today's reading, you'll learn much of the basics of why so many expats have been moving to the beautiful country of Mexico. &nbsp; The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico is a comprehensive A to Z guide through everything you need to know about Mexico and the processes behind moving there or setting up a Plan B residency in the country. Getting a residency in Mexico is not that complicated or expensive. So don’t fear; in my new book, I go into detail about what the process is like and how you can do it yourself. I explain my first task as the author of this book - to discuss mindset. Are you ready for a change, and how will you accomplish it? My goal is to present the full reality of Mexico to the fullest extent of my ability - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I address some of the biggest fears many have of becoming an expat. Are any of these holding you back? I outline some of the reasons Mexico can provide an excellent quality of life, including some advantages you might not expect. I discuss who this book is NOT for. Yes, it won't be for everyone. I lay out the major differences between living in Mexico vs. living in places like the USA, Canada and Europe. &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 213: From The Bay Area To Mexico an Expat Story - Ken 170: Searching For Freedom In Mexico - Marc Clair 093: Why Are People Leaving The USA – Travis Luther &nbsp; PURCHASE THE EXPATS GUIDE TO MOVING TO MEXICO Get your own copy of the Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico and after you read the book, do us a HUGE favour and leave us a great review on Amazon!

After reading this book, you will have a thorough understanding of the types of visas to be able to move to Mexico, the specific requirements to get residencies, the safest cities to live in as an expat, the cost of living, and so much more! Even in just the chapters covered here, you'll leave with a solid idea of everything you need to take into account to determine if Mexico is the right country for you. Our plan, as I said in the episode, is to release a number of these, but for that to happen, I need lots of support from the community. We want to make this a number-one bestseller. We need lots of reviews out there. So pick up the book and let me know what you think. Hopefully, you get lots of value. Send me a note or put a review on Amazon. I'm going to read everything. Thanks!

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Ramiro Romani.  He is a technologist, activist, educator, and entrepreneur who dropped his corporate career to work on meaningful social movements. His company, Above Agency, recently released Above Phone – a complete privacy phone solution that combines secure hardware, open-source operating systems, and cutting-edge privacy services. I know the issue of privacy is of utmost importance to Expat Money Show listeners, and today's episode will open your eyes to how your phone tracks you every single day and the actionable steps you can take to stop it. &nbsp; How to Stop Your Phone From Spying on You If you've long suspected your phone is spying on you, trust us, it is. Today's episode will give you the tools you need to begin to fight back. Ramiro delves into his background as a software engineer and how he realized the Big Tech companies are a part of the privacy problem. I discuss with Ramiro how he decided to shift his priorities and help build systems outside of Big Tech's grasp and bring heart back to their technology, quitting his job to become a full-time activist in movements such as the Freedom Cell Network before founding Above Agency in 2021. Ramiro breaks down how his software team went about creating Above Phone by “De-Googling” their phone and using open-source software to tweak existing open-source platforms We discuss in detail why having a privacy phone is so important and how Big Tech companies track everything you do because YOU are the product. Ramiro shares some SHOCKING examples of how innocent lives have been affected by big-tech spying. I discuss with Ramiro the 3 layers of tracking through the Operating Systems, the apps and the telecom companies.  We look at one of the most common questions Ramiro fields regarding why they use “the Devil” aka Google to build a privacy phone instead of using Linux or another system? Ramiro and I examine why it’s important to accept incremental steps in taking privacy back and not let the lack of the perfect tool prevent you from taking any precautions against Big Tech. We examine how even “privacy” companies track and mine data from their users and make false claims about their products while portraying a privacy face on the surface. Ramiro gives an on-screen demonstration of how some of the available apps work - this is a great reason to head over and watch the video on the Expat Money YouTube channel! We even learn how it's possible to use a phone without being exposed to ANY EMF at all by using an ethernet adaptor!

Today on the Expat Money Show, I want to go back to basics and ensure that everybody understands the terms we discussed so that you can make the right decision for yourself and your family if you decide to become an Expat and plan for the future. I realize that not everyone understands the verbiage and lexicon that immigration entails. There are many different types of immigration visas; there is not a one size fits all approach to this. &nbsp; IMMIGRATION BACK TO BASICS Confused about the lexicon or language when it comes to immigration? Many people are. This is the episode that you won’t want to miss. I start with the most basic language, so you’ll fully comprehend and understand it. I discuss the difference between temporary and permanent residencies and why they are so important to understand. The next step up is citizenship. What does this mean? What must you do or complete to become a citizen in a new country? Are you thinking about starting a family or having additional children? Listen as I talk about birth tourism and what it can mean for you and your family. One of my main focuses is on Residency by Investment. What does that look like, and how can you obtain one? What is a Golden Visa? You may have heard this phrase. The next piece of information I cover is Citizenship by Investment. The countries that offer it, and why I believe it is so important. I run through the countries that currently have citizenship by investment and the costs involved. &nbsp; CONCLUSION I hope today's episode was beneficial to you and works as a real complement to the three-hour workshop I did on Saturday. If you have more questions after watching the presentation and want to go through the CBI programs we discussed and join me on some of these things, there's a special email address just for people who registered and attended that presentation. I also want to say that if you're listening to today's episode and you registered for the workshop but did not get a chance to attend it, and you've received the email with part one and part two, you only have a couple of days left to watch the presentation and then I'm going to be locking it away. It's not a presentation I want floating everywhere on the internet. This is not a YouTube video or something. It's all...

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is James Baker, a Certified Public Accountant and international tax expert. He helps expats and foreign nationals grow their businesses and protect their wealth with custom tax planning strategies tailored for US expats and foreign nationals alike.  &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JAMES, Listen in to hear James talk about helping non-residents use US companies and bank accounts to save money on taxes. We dig into the US as an offshore jurisdiction and how the systems function. We talk about strong asset protection and wealth protection laws in the USA and that most CPAs don’t understand that the US is the largest tax haven in the world.  One of the biggest concerns Jim’s clients have is about information sharing. It’s a big concern, and listen to why that is. If you are a tax resident of any country outside the US, doing a service business, an e-commerce business, or some kind of coaching business, Jim shares a ton of information for you.  Understanding the tax laws of the country you live in or pay taxes to is highly important. It’s one of the many aspects of my business that I help people with daily. Jim lets us in on his favourite states for setting up structures and what you should look for. The bottom line is Jim can help you and your business make more money and pay less in taxes.  &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 181: Living Overseas With Your Family And How To Make Your Expat Experience A Raving Success 190: How To Build A Self-Sustaining Libertarian Community In Latin America – Patrick Hiebert 214: Stacking Laws Like LEGO Blocks To Secure Your Freedom – Patri Friedman &nbsp; HOW TO REACH JAMES BAKER www.expatmoneyshow.com/cpa to book a call with Jim. &nbsp; CONCLUSION Jim and I have been working together for several years now, and I trust him with my clients. We had a lot of people asking for a podcast about the US as a tax haven.

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Jeremy Cordon from Goldbacks. Jeremy has always had an interest in precious metals. On a whim, he quit a high-paying job to become one of the first full-time employees of the UPMA (Utah Precious Metals Association). He was able to help grow the organization from 400 members to over 25,000.   In 2019, he created the Gold product known as the Goldback. This exhibited Gold in spendable quantities for the first time. Using a patented production process, he effectively set up a novel product in one of the oldest industries known to man.  &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JEREMY CORDON Jeremy and I discuss in detail how the idea of Goldback began and the difficulties they had to overcome to create this amazing product. Imagine using real gold, not a digital reflection of gold, but real gold to buy and sell almost anything you want. How would that work? Wondering if Goldbacks can be counterfieted? Listen to find out! What interested me about the Goldbacks was the divisibility. Jeremy explains how it works. If you’re thinking about how legal the Goldbacks are, Jeremy runs through the laws that have been put into place throughout the United States. I found this super interesting. Can the Goldbacks be used in other countries besides the USA?  You will be pleasantly surprised if you haven’t seen the beautiful art on every Goldback.  Listen to find out where you can purchase your own Goldbacks. We talk about the commerce aspect and bartering with Goldbacks How do you find these people or stores when you want to buy something with your Goldback? Is there some way to identify them? &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 220: Marc Faber – Buying Asian Investments &amp; Currencies On The Cheap 218: Understanding Energy And Bitcoin – Nick Giambruno 193: Visiting Gold Mines In Faraway Lands – Larry Scharf &nbsp; HOW TO REACH JEREMY CORDON www.goldback.com - You can find everything on his website to get started. &nbsp; CONCLUSION I just love how beautiful the Goldbacks are.

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Michael Strong, my partner and co-founder of the Expat International School of Freedom &amp; Entrepreneurship. His experience in the education system is vast and varied. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside him for about three years now, creating this amazing program for students ages 8-19.  In today’s conversation, we will focus on expat families and the most crucial age for children. I’m excited to have him back on our show. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH MICHAEL STRONG Michael explains what our school is all about and why it is so important to reach students, especially middle school-age kids, as early as possible. What happens when traditional government-run schools become boring and meaningless?  Parents ask Michael all the time. You run an online school. What is the difference in the dynamic when kids are addicted to online games? Are you not part of the problem?  What is the fundamental difference between passive and active education? Understanding the program's flexibility is vital for families wanting to travel and to ensure their children don’t suffer with their education. Michael explains how our program is only for 4.5 hours a day, but the traditional school might be 7.5 or 8 hours a day. What is the difference, and how can that work efficiently? If your child is not thriving, take it seriously. Learn why this is vital information. What is the future for your children? Are they being educated on something that will not be around in 10 or 20 years, as government-run institutions teach? Or is it something that your child will love and be able to adapt for the rest of their life? The best question asked about ‘Free Education.’ Here’s Michael Strong’s answer to that if you’re wondering about the program's cost for this level of education. Homeschooling by professionals is how Michael Strong explained this type of education to me when I first met him and how I now explain our system. &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES 115: The Solution To Educating Your Children Abroad – Michael Strong 183: How Woke Ideology Has Taken Over Education And What You Can Do To Defend Your Children &nbsp; HOW TO REACH MICHAEL STRONG ExpatSchool.io ExpatSchool.io/schedule-a-call &nbsp; CONCLUSION This information will be invaluable if you have school-aged children between the ages of 11 and 14.

I think you’ll be surprised at what we have to say. Great questions were asked, What about transportation? a car? Can you bring down your own jeep or an SUV to Nicaragua? What are the import taxes like? One of the most frequently asked questions when moving to another country is, ‘should I bring my own household goods? Or purchase in my new country?’ Patrick talked about what he has done in the past and what he recommends. Healthcare is another concern for expats. We talk about the costs, what you can expect when using a hospital and what kind of service you will enjoy.

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is George Della Pietra, Founder of the SafeBlood Donation. For over 20 years, George has been in the medical field of studies, focusing on naturopathy and many different kinds of natural healing methods. He runs a naturopathic clinic which focuses on viruses, bacteria and vaccination damage, and for the past 10 years, he has run a health resort in Thailand. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH GEORGE DELLA PIETRA I want to say that this episode is not meant to attack anyone that chose to get the Covid vaccine. This is not about shaming anyone. People were under a lot of pressure to get the vaccine, and many realized later they should not have got the shots. This is new information, and I believe it’s vitally important to get this out to my listeners. We start off talking about blood donations today and how they have changed over the past five years. You’ll be amazed at the countries that DO NOT allow you to choose your blood donor.  And good luck asking for unvaccinated blood, it just won’t happen. We talk about a family in New Zealand and what happened there, it will break your heart. So you may be wondering, what’s the big deal? What does it matter if I get vaccinated or unvaccinated blood during an operation? George explains the many complications that can arise. Imagine hospitals worldwide changing procedures for direct blood donations and saying it’s the law, but George explains what he believes has happened. Are these hospitals lying to the public? George discusses the countries that are open to direct blood donations so that if you are in need of unvaccinated blood, you can travel there. mRNA vaccines. What does that actually mean? And how different are they from the childhood vaccines we all got when we were young? We discuss how SafeBlood Donations work, and what success they have had worldwide. We talk in detail about freedom. How to get more and keep what you’ve got! Such an important concept!

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. Author, activist, physician and retired politician. Dr. Paul has had an incredible career, beginning in the 1960s as an OBYN into the 1980s, delivering somewhere around 4,000 babies in rural south Texas. During the 1970s, he founded the Ron Paul Institute For Peace And Prosperity and, in 1976, began his career as a politician. He was the Libertarian Party nominee in 1988 and a candidate for the Republican Party in 2008 and 2012.  In 2015 the former 12-term US Congressman from Texas launched the Liberty Report to discuss his provocative opinion and to analyze breaking issues affecting our lives and finances, and it is still going strong today. He is the author of END THE FED, THE REVOLUTION and more. MY CONVERSATION WITH DR. RON PAUL  I ask Dr. Paul how he feels about the lack of freedom we’ve had over the past 2 and a half years; how did we get here? I’m Canadian. What does Dr. Paul make of what has happened in Canada over the last year with the trucker convoy and the government freezing bank accounts? We talk in-depth about his outlook for the future. Does humanity stand a chance? How can people all over the world protect themselves from what is happening? What is his advice for those seeking more freedom and liberty in their lives? &nbsp; CONCLUSION I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Congressman Paul. I truly look up to this man, and I know you’ll love the conversation as much as I did.

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Marc Faber, Editor and Publisher of the ‘’Gloom, Boom &amp; Doom Report.’’ Born in Zurich, Switzerland, he studied Economics at the University of Zurich and, at the age of 24, obtained a Ph.D. in Economics magna cum laude. In 1990, he set up his business, publishing a widely read monthly investment newsletter, “THE GLOOM, BOOM &amp; DOOM” report highlighting unusual investment opportunities. He is also the author of several books, including “TOMORROW’S GOLD – Asia’s Age of Discovery”  &nbsp; TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH MARC FABER Listen in to today's conversation I have with Marc Faber about the possibility of war between China and Taiwan. What are his predictions, and what are they willing to do regarding money and war? Do the Taiwanese people want conflict? Or is it that the US likes to provoke conflict? Where do you hold your assets? Marc shares his basic allocation and the percentage for each. Is holding cash a good idea? And if so, what currency is worth holding? Why is it vitally important to hold your gold in the country you live in and not in another country? Online brokerage accounts. Are they a good idea? How safe are they? An important question to ask yourself: How will I lose the least in an environment where things are bad? Marc explains all. A serious risk that the governments will impose some sort of wealth taxation. In an emergency decree, a government can do anything; look at what Trudeau did during the trucker strike. We discuss Qatar and the UAE and their monarchies, as opposed to the corruption with Canada’s Trudeau and the fact that democracies have the very worst people at the top.  I asked Marc, what countries would you diversify in?  If you are holding US cash, what other fiat should we look at? And what does he believe the top 3 currencies are? &nbsp; HOW TO REACH MARC FABER www.gloomboomdoom.com &nbsp; RELATED EPISODE 214: Stacking Laws Like LEGO Blocks To Secure Your Freedom – Patri Friedman 199: It’s Time For The World To Wake Up And Thrive – Foster Gamble &nbsp; CONCLUSION What an interesting conversation with one of the most brilliant minds of today.

He's the Founder of The Financial Underground and Editor in Chief of its premium investment research publication, Contra Speculator. Nick travels the world searching for lucrative investment opportunities in overlooked markets and is known for spotting geopolitical and economic trends early. &nbsp; TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH NICK GIAMBRUNO Nick and I dig into early Bitcoin adoption and what China and Russia would look like if they adopted Bitcoin.  Argentina and Venezuela, both energy-producing countries, might be great candidates as well to adopt Bitcoin and lead the world in Bitcoin mining, but what would that look like? Understanding the Petrodollar, the relations between the Saudis and the Americans, and knowing the fundamentals here. A fascinating conversation regarding governments using Bitcoin to trade things like oil and other commodities like grains and such, all in Bitcoin. Are there good investments or speculations in the Middle East that are worthwhile?  Nick and I discuss the big picture situation geopolitically, economically, and how very important it is concerning the Middle East. Nick shares his research on Bitcoin mining companies, and we learn about these companies and what the difference is between investing in them as opposed to investing in Bitcoin directly. If you’re a beginner in buying and selling Bitcoin, Nick explains his favourite wallet and what you need to do to hold your bitcoin safely.

He has a Ph.D. &amp; MBA, and is an Austrian School of Economics student.  He is a proponent of private, decentralized, sound money, a crypto enthusiast, privacy advocate and a regular speaker at international freedom conferences. &nbsp; MY DISCUSSION WITH TERRY TILLAART  Today’s conversation with Terry Tillaart focuses on how we should be looking at ways to seek absolute freedom in our lives. Why is freedom important? Why should we be looking at getting away from the control of organizations that don’t have our best interests at heart, even though they claim they are doing it for our sake? Concepts that we must absolutely stop doing now, right now, and why this is vital to our future, your family's future. How do we support projects that support freedom and businesses that move us closer to our main objectives of a parallel society? If you believe that the last 3 years has been orchestrated by groups worldwide that don’t have your best interest at heart, then this is the episode for you.  We dig deeper into which crypto is for the people, which ones are pro-freedom, and which ones can’t be controlled. What you absolutely must know to be able to survive what is coming for the future of our world. Terry shares his favourite privacy coins and why he thinks these are a much better option. I talked with Terry about how things could have turned out differently if people who donated to the Trucker Convoy had used a privacy coin and how they wouldn’t have had their accounts frozen, not had their assets seized and would not be on some kind of watch list.  &nbsp; HOW TO REACH TERRY TILLAART &amp; IMPORTANT LINKS FOR PRIVACY Private Telegram Group   https://t.me/+fRKdC-m1ActiNDRh www.terrytillaart.com Pirate Chain - https://pirate.black Most Private Email - www.mailfence.com Best Browser  - https://decentr.net (Also has the best search engine built in https://presearch.io ) More Resources in Telegram Group  https://t.me/+fRKdC-m1ActiNDRh &nbsp; RELATED EPISODES  <span...

Today on the Expat Money Show I am going to replay a really special webinar I did last week with my business partner and friend, Michael Strong, discussing why mainstream education is destroying your children and how you can easily prevent this.  This is not a new phenomenon and I don’t see it getting any better in the near future. With such a bleak outlook for our education system, it’s time parents took control of the situation to provide the very best education available today. &nbsp; IN TODAY’S EPISODE WE DISCUSS… How problems with today’s brick and mortar schools, like masking, bullying and the woke culture are defeating the true nature of our children and what you can do to eliminate this kind of behaviour.

Why a statement like ‘capitalism makes the rich richer and the poor poorer’ is so absurd. Learn what capitalism really is, and why it's so important for our children’s future. Michael and I discuss what teaching real history looks like, not what government-run schools demand their students to learn. It’s very sad.

Is your child learning real skills that will help her to be the best adult she can be? Listen to why this is more important now than ever before.

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Michael Wedaa, who has travelled to more than 100 countries on 6 continents. His love of travel started in his youth when he visited many of the great national parks in the U.S. He then took his first major international trips to Europe, South America, and Asia in 2011. From there, he caught the travel bug and began taking 4 international trips per year. In 2020 he became the host of a travel TV show called The Layover Experience.   &nbsp; HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE… Imagine visiting 100 countries! What does that take to accomplish? Michael shares with us what he’s done in his life over the last 10 years to make this happen in his life…and how you can too! What does it take for the love of travel to rule your life! I chat with Michael about how travel changed my life and the important lessons I’ve learned from the people I’ve met along the way. I bet you’re thinking…it’s so easy to go to London, Paris and Rome…but what about Iran, Egypt or Tanzania? Listen to how Michael visited those countries and his wild experiences. Michael and I share some great stories about the countries we’ve visited that people have been really afraid to travel to.  Have you imagined yourself as a writer? You’ve got some amazing plans and yet don’t know what the next steps are. Here Michael tells us how he started and finished writing his first book and I think you’ll really like this if you’re a budding author. I loved chatting with Michael about countries we still don’t know how to spell, or even pronounce, yet can’t wait to visit. Places most people are too scared to go to. Here are some really awesome tips! Michael shares some hilarious stories of his travels and the trouble you can get into when things happen that are out of your control.  Michaels YouTube Show is called ‘Layover Guru’. In today's episode, Michael and I talk about how you can utilize your time on a layover of let’s say 6 - 24 hours. Are you like most people and just sit in the airport? Ya, I get that. But listen to this…Michael uses that time to see a new city or a new country that he may never get a chance to visit again. He shares his tips and tricks for everyone to enjoy. Is Covid still scaring you? Are you waiting for things to go back to normal? Michael talks about all of the travelling he’s done in the past 2 years and how you can make it a reality. &nbsp; PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 165: Digital Nomad Life In The Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus During The Pandemic – Alex Bales 133: How to Find Cheap Flights To See The World On A Budget – Jen Ruiz 128: Travelling To Every Country In The World – Salvatore Lavallo &nbsp; HOW TO REACH

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is my very good friend Marc Clair, the co-founder, host and producer of the ‘Lions of Liberty’ podcast. Over the last eight years, Lions of Liberty has become a leading platform for libertarian voices in the alternative media.  I have had the pleasure of joining him on his podcast multiple times and have even been able to assist him in his own expat journey overseas. On today's podcast, Marc and I discuss his expat journey leaving Los Angeles where he had lived for more than a decade to now living in Mexico City. We discuss the struggles and craziness of dealing with the Mexican government to get residency and in the USA to get a green card for his wife and stepson. &nbsp; What a journey Marc has had these past few years, here are some of the things we talk about…  First off, what is a libertarian? What does it mean to be a libertarian? Do we all think the same, do we have the same ideas…do we wave around a libertarian flag? How neither Marc nor I became overnight libertarians. It became our ideals, our way of life and what brought us to this point in our lives. I think you will love this conversation. Expat living is a vehicle towards freedom and liberty. Are you leaning towards leaving your home country? Wondering what all the hype is about. Marc and I discuss the real struggles of leaving your home and all the things you take for granted.  We talk about the little things that drive us crazy about living in Panama and Mexico and the old adage of 'mañana'. If you’re American or Canadian, you’ll feel our pain.  Marc talks about the nightmare of dealing with immigration in the USA and the time it has taken to complete the paperwork. And in the end, has it been worth it? All these extra steps, and time spent…has it been worth it? Being an expat, leaving your family behind? Going for a green card? Immigration? I talk a lot about being a libertarian and a lot of my guests are libertarians. If you are interested in the philosophy and really resonate with what we talk about, then this episode will speak to you. &nbsp; PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 165: Digital Nomad Life In The Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus During The Pandemic – Alex Bales  157: Working Remote From Spain - Chase Warrington  151: Helping Spouses Cope With Expat Life – Linda Mueller &nbsp; BEST WAY TO REACH MARC CLAIR What a giant Marc has been in the liberty podcasting world.

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Nick Donnelly, a web developer working on a Solana NFT crypto startup. He has been a digital nomad for 20 years since a very random trip to China in 2001 and his first backpacking trip to Berlin and Prague shortly after. He is currently in Bansko, Bulgaria – Europe’s digital nomad hub, and maintains a flat in Prague where he is based much of the year. He has lived in Saigon and London and travels (while working) several months a year and has spent many years slow-travelling, visiting 73 countries so far. &nbsp; HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED... It’s maybe not for everyone, but slow travel compared to fast travel, what’s best for you? Make sure you truly understand what makes you happy! 3 keys that people just don’t understand about having a happy life. Can this possibly be your life? Have you ever considered ‘how do you become a world traveller?’ This episode helps to break down some really great aspects that you probably have never thought about.  Are you currently living a life trying to keep up with the Joneses? Do you have 2 luxury cars and a big old house? If you looked back on your life, is that what makes you happy? If not, listen in to hear Nick discuss strategies to get yourself out of that rut.  Nick &amp; I talk about some awesome countries that really help to develop their digital nomad communities. Wondering where they are? Could you spend several months a year in any of these amazing countries? And the question that comes up often, the language of the locals. Can you get by with English? You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the answer. A big discussion on living in a former Communist country, have things changed? What does Communism do to the spirit of the people? What life is like in some of the countries around the globe, governments being absolutely abusive…most won’t surprise you. What the heck is FIRE?

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Alex Bales, a freelance digital marketer who made the transition to digital nomad life on January 1, 2020. Well, we all know what happened next. Despite the COVID pandemic and resulting lockdowns, he has lived the greater part of two years out of a suitcase, off the beaten path and traversing the Middle East, Balkans, and the Caucasus, visiting 80+ cities and 16 countries (17 if you count the unrecognized breakaway state of Transnistria). &nbsp; Here is a sneak peek of what we discussed... Do you find yourself disillusioned with your home country? Maybe the USA or Canada? Alex talks about his stay in Iran and the eye-opening experience he had there. Do you think you know and understand the world from your geography and history classes in high school? Ya, me too...except what we were taught way back then is not reality as Mikkel and Alex tell us. Maybe you haven’t been able to travel as of yet, after Covid hit the world, everyone just stopped vacationing. Alex didn’t! Listen in as he talks as a new traveller, having little to no experience and where he went and what he saw...you will be amazed! Imagine as a young adult, going to your family and telling them you’re going to Iran on vacation...can you imagine what your parents are going to say! Listen in to some words of advice! Mikkel and Alex talk about the forbidden land of Saudi Arabia. What it’s like? Why would you want to go there?, what all the fascination about the country is...and why it is #1 on Mikkel’s bucket list! Listen in to hear Mikkel talk about which countries are on the top of his bucket list, other than Saudi Arabia. Maybe one of them is on your list too! Imagine yourself, arriving in Tbilisi, Georgia...just as the pandemic was starting in March 2020. What was life like arriving in a foreign country, where you don’t speak the language, with English not widely spoken, jumping into uncertain waters, and the fear of Covid being almost unspeakable!  Have you ever wondered how safe using a mask being outside is, or inside for that matter? Alex has this horrible accident that he tells us about, not speaking the language and having to rely on Google translate...one more reason to dislike the use of masks! If you’ve wondered what country had the most locked-down mandates in The Balkans and what countries were the freest, you’ll really enjoy this episode. &nbsp; PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 160: Mikkel Thorup - Expat Life Secrets Across The Globe 132: The Future Of Remote Work And Digital Nomadism – Kari DePhillips 131: Travelling To Brazil During The Pandemic – Mikkel Thorup &nbsp; HOW TO REACH ALEX BALES EmpowerUMarketing &nbsp; CONCLUSION: I’m so happy to hear about Alex and his travels over the past 2 years.

Today on the Expat Money Show we’re going to do something a little different. Recently I had the pleasure of travelling to Medellin, Colombia with my family and we met up with my friend Jason and his wife Sophie and recorded a YouTube video about medical tourism, specifically medical tourism in Medellin. Jason's company is awesome. They really do a fantastic job of helping Americans and Canadians, but also Europeans and really, people from anywhere in the world who come to Colombia to get medical tourism done. I loved the video so much that I thought we would turn it into a podcast episode because there is just so much information to be heard. &nbsp; Here is a sneak peek of what we discussed... Are you wondering what medical tourism is? What does it entail? Sounds interesting but what’s in it for me? Jason shares with us the most important issues of not staying in North America and waiting for an important procedure to happen, or not happen! But Jason, what about the medical facilities? The Doctors? Are they trained properly and are they as trustworthy as the Doctors we have in Canada or the States? You may be wondering about the cost, don’t I have to be rich and famous to have medical procedures done while on vacation? Don’t be caught waiting and waiting for a procedure in Canada when you can hop on a direct flight to Colombia. You will be surprised at how quickly it can be done! Mikkel and Jason discuss the numerous procedures that are done in Medellin and the response time of the surgeons. It will blow your mind! Have you heard a lot of people talking about Stem cells? What is this and if I came to Colombia can you do this type of procedure? Okay, but I don’t speak Spanish and Colombia is a Spanish-speaking country...what do I do? If you are in need of a medical procedure, whether it’s for your health or to fix something you’re not happy with, listen to this episode. You will be amazed and thrilled! &nbsp; https://youtu.be/pG09sdarMpg &nbsp; PODCAST EPISODES YOU WILL ENJOY 146: Biohacking Immune Support For Busy Travellers – Siim Land 137: Blockchain And The Future Of The Internet – Marco Wutzer 135: Living A Perpetual Traveller Lifestyle – Sergio Von Facchin &nbsp; HOW TO REACH  Jason@expatmoney.io &nbsp; CONCLUSION: What a beautiful country Colombia is, especially Medellin.

After reading his first book on Warren Buffet when he was just 14 years old, he became passionate about value investing and has been managing his own capital since February 2005.

Jim and Judy share what they want for their new adventures in the Mediterranean. What countries they have planned for their guests, what sightseeing options are available? We talk a lot about their yacht Dauntless. What does she look like? How many people can she sleep? How big is she? We then spent some time on how they pick their routes? do they always stay the same course or is it different every time? and why?

Over the past 3 years of interviewing guests, we’ve usually come at it from the ownership side, or at least from a managerial side of a business. We talk about what our guest does for a living or how they left the crazy lifestyle of Corporate America and travelled as an expat and became an entrepreneur. Today, we’re going to change that up a bit and talk about a business that I think is amazing, Love Home Swap. Not from someone that has ownership in it, but has used it extensively. My guest today on The Expat Money Show did in fact leave the craziness of a 9-5 job, with his wife and family in tow and began travelling the world, homeschooling their children and becoming digital nomads. He has been travelling the world non-stop for over 3 years and has completed over 60 home swaps in over 16 countries across 4 continents using this system. After chatting with him on the phone a few weeks ago about his travels and reading his book, ‘Choose Life’, I knew that I wanted you, my listeners, to hear his story too. &nbsp; TOPICS DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN THIS INTERVIEW: Becoming part of a community 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris Fear Setting Exercise Love Home Swap and how it works Measuring Success Sir Ken Robinson Selling everything and moving to Thailand Home sitting/Pet sitting Digital Nomad Dual Citizenship And so much more! &nbsp; HOW TO REACH DANIEL PRINCE Blog: Prince off the Grid - talks about homeschooling, world schooling, travel, entrepreneurship, digital nomads.

On today's episode of The Expat Money Show, our next guest has been a full-time digital nomad and expat for the past 15 years, travelling throughout more than 60 countries and has helped thousands of people move, retire, or work abroad. At an early age, her mission was to discover an alternative to the typical “American Dream” 9 to 5 way of life. She always struggled with the simple question: ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and decided that one day she would invent her own job and that she did. Today, her goal is to help others become location independent and stay that way, for as long as their heart desires. Today, Kristin Wilson is living full-time in her home state of Florida and absolutely loving it. Costa Rica was home for 8 years and Nicaragua for 1 year. Travelling for long periods of time has become the norm for Kristin and in this interview, she walks us through all of the ups and downs of becoming a digital nomad and why choosing this path can be so empowering. &nbsp; TOPICS DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN THIS INTERVIEW: How to invent your own job International real estate Freedom Pre coronavirus and post coronavirus Owning or renting your primary residence &nbsp; Co-Living, Co-Working, and Meeting People:  WiFi Tribe: https://wifitribe.co/ Remote Year: http://remoteyear.com/ Hacker Paradise: https://www.hackerparadise.org/ Work Wanderers: https://www.workwanderers.com/ Nomad Summit: http://nomadsummit.com/ Nomad Cruise: https://www.nomadcruise.com/ Coworking Bansko: https://coworkingbansko.com/ Internations: http://internations.org/ Mikkel Thorup and Kristin Wilson talk in-depth about their travels, the countries they have been to and lived in.  A question on most people's minds is always: how do I make friends? Will I travel forever without sharing my experiences? What is the best way to meet people? Such great questions and all answered in this episode. Another really big question is: Where is the best hotspot for digital nomads to go and hang out with other digital nomads. Kristin tells us...

Today's guest on the Expat Money Show has long been considered one of America's foremost political operatives. He has worked on numerous major election campaigns, from the congressional to the presidential levels, and he currently serves as a strategic advisor to some of Washington's top political organizations and media groups. With the US Elections only a few months away, obviously, our discussion will revolve around politics.  Carter Clews is THE GODFATHER of an organization called Constitutional Rights Pac and has been in the political arena for more than 50 years, serving and working with many many Presidents. His favourite really nice guy? Ronald Regan. The rest...dirty, really dirty. Dirty as the day is long! When asked, Is politics dirty? He answers...yes, when it’s done right!! Today's discussion started with politics, the Coronavirus and getting the hell out of Dodge!  Did we say Coronavirus? We meant ‘fake’ Coronavirus.  Mikkel Thorup and Carter Clews talk about the biggest question on everyone’s mind: Who do you think will become the President of the United States come November 3rd. Obviously, Carter has no idea, but what he does say is that if Trump gets re-elected life won’t be easy, but if Biden gets in the economy WILL crash and the USA will be much worse off. Biden has already said he would raise taxes...and that’s just the beginning... (Side note: for anyone who is curious, Mikkel is a libertarian, not a Conservative) Then the discussion headed south, really south..to Honduras. Carter and Mikkel talk about life in Central America, Honduras to be specific. Carter has a home there and his wife is Honduran, so he really knows what he is talking about when he discusses what it’s like to live your life in a country that you can do good things for. Like, buy a house, go to restaurants, own a car, have a beer in the local pub... those are all good things. &nbsp; Topics discussed in detail in this interview: US 2020 Elections The turning point of leaving the USA Capitalism NOT Democracy Free Market Enterprise Iran, Iraq and North Korea Taxes in California 3 most dangerous words in the English language: Health and Safety How To Reach Carter Clews Carter Clews says you are most welcome to email him, whether it’s good or bad and he promises to answer you: carter.clews@yahoo.com &nbsp; Related Articles &amp; Podcast Episodes <a style="background-color: transparent" href="https://expatmoneyshow.com/captivate-podcast/086-ott-vatter-is-an-e-residency-in-estonia-right-for-you/" target="_blank" rel="noopener...

Today’s guest is dedicated to the relentless pursuit of freedom. He is the CEO of Crash.co, the career launch platform, and the founder of Praxis, a startup apprenticeship program, both of which are shaking up how young people pursue their dream jobs and develop necessary skills.  As we all know, the face of education is finally changing, in a good way, and today we’re going to delve into what the future holds for those looking for alternative ways people can learn, enter the workforce and educate their children. Here's a great line to live by: 'Don't do stuff you hate'. How often do you hear people say, I went to college for 4 years then got a job in my field and 6 months later I realize I hated it. Then what do you do? Some decide further education in their field is the answer, for others, a change in their major and another 4 years is ahead of them. But what if you could skip college altogether, the 4-year grind, the $200,000 debt? and do an apprenticeship that almost (96%) guarantees you a job when you complete the 1-year program? And to boot, love what you do! Isaac Morehouse has created a system that works. Plain and simple. It's called Praxis. &nbsp; Topics discussed in detail in this interview: What the biggest problems with the education system today The history of how the education system began What is 'deschooling' and why it's necessary Human Capital What's relevant in education And What is Praxis?  This episode will open your eyes and your future to a better, happier world for those that are about to enter the workforce. Also, for those that hate what they are doing today and want something more fulfilling and interesting and fun! Once Praxis was in full swing, Isaac realized that students trying to enter the workforce didn't really know how to make a good CV. He saw hundreds of students sending out cookie-cutter resumes to find that almost no one ever got a callback. There had to be something better, so he created Crash.co.  Listen to find out how Crash works and if it's right for you. &nbsp; How To Reach Isaac Morehouse www.isaacmorehouse.com You will find all the information on both Praxis and Crash.co and a little bit about the man himself! &nbsp; Related Articles &amp; Podcast Episodes EP 078: Brandon Pearce -Travelling the Globe World Schooling your Children EP 029: Jim Cockrum – How Creating Engaging Content On Social Media Is Translating into 25 Million In Sales On Amazon <a title="EP 004: Clara Day Herrera – How To Raise Your Child To Be An Entrepreneur.

Today’s guest is an award-winning writer, speaker, musician, and entrepreneur from Denver, Colorado. His nonfiction book, The Fun Side of The Wall: Baby Boomer Retirement in Mexico, has been a #1 New Release on Amazon, and portions have been quoted in Forbes and PBS. It details the sociological motivations for some of the most educated and affluent baby boomers in the U.S. migrating to Mexico. (the irony, of course, is the heated debate about keeping Mexicans out of the U.S.) The book is not a “How to..” guide for moving to Mexico. Rather, it is a sociological study of the state of retirement in the United States and how those challenges are driving some of the most educated and affluent Baby Boomers into Mexico. The book concludes that it is a longing for authentic community and a break from consumerism that keeps Baby Boomers in Mexico - not just cheaper living. Today Mikkel Thorup and Travis Luther discuss the question: Why are people leaving the USA? After years of research, Travis has some really great information, and answers. After visiting different areas that expats live in Mexico, he talked with many of them and seems the answers are different than you might think. &nbsp; Topics discussed in detail in this interview: Increase in people retiring abroad What is an authentic community? Financial possibilities for foreign governments The 'why' part, can they make a great life for themselves in Mexico? Where in Mexico are people migrating to? &nbsp; Are you like many North Americans? Do you believe that most countries in the world are not as evolved as the USA or Canada? That health care is sub-par? that infrastructure is almost non-existent? Well, then you'll be surprised to hear that this is not how the rest of the world actually is. Sure, there are a few countries that fit this bill, but for many countries that just isn't so, and Mexico is one of them. For those of you interested in the Why, you'll love this episode. And you'll love Travis Luther's book: The Fun Side of The Wall: Baby Boomer Retirement in Mexico.  &nbsp; Travis and Mikkel talk about: What has travel taught them? Is it different in Mexico? Do you have to speak Spanish? Should you buy real estate in Mexico? and so much more. You really need to listen in if you are contemplating leaving the USA and don't yet have a country in mind. And if Mexico is on your horizon, then this will help you understand more of the why. &nbsp; How To Reach Travis Luther Go to Amazon and check out The Fun Side of The Wall; Baby Boomer Retirement in Mexico.  www.TravisLuther.com www.MightyBuffalo.com &nbsp; Related Articles &amp; Podcast Episodes EP 089: Gill Phelan - Costa Rica, The Perfect Place to Be An Expat?

Rich Checkan from ASI is our guest today on The Expat Money Show, and I'm really excited for our listeners to get to know him and understand why buying gold is so important. He is a very good friend of mine and I promise, you are in for a real treat. Rich Checkan is the President of ASI - Asset Strategies International and I’ve had the privilege of working alongside him for several paid webinar presentations and he was a speaker AND a sponsor at our recent Offshore Summit. Through all of this, our audience loved his wealth of knowledge and got great value from listening to him. Rich is one of the most informed people in the world in the precious metals industry and I often consult with him on what is happening in this space. In today's episode, Rich Checkan and Mikkel Thorup talk in great detail about Gold. When it all began, what happens during a recession, how often in its history has this happened and how did people respond. They discuss all of the reasons why it's important to have gold in your portfolio and when the best, AND worst time to buy and to sell. &nbsp; Important Topics Discussed Price war with China Election Year Insurance, using Gold Did Gold 'Do its job'? Fabrication of the metal How DO you buy gold? As if these topics aren't enough to fill a fast-paced hour, Mikkel and Rich wrap it up with: Silver being for the growth Platinum, palladium and other precious metals Inflation/Deflation and Stagflation Quote of the day: "Holding onto a bad investment doesn't make it a good investment" &nbsp; How to Reach Rich Checkan www.AssetStrategies.com visit his website to see what makes them so special.

This is a really great episode with my friend Rich Checkan. If you don't know a ton about gold, where to buy and when to buy, this is a must-listen-to episode. We talk a lot about gold here on The Expat Money Show and I'm sure we will continue as this is such an important topic, especially with the uncertainty of Covid-19 and the FED debasing currencies around the world at such an alarming rate. &nbsp;

My guest today on the Expat Money Show is Ladislas Maurice from The Wandering Investor. After obtaining his Bachelor of Business Administration from Bishop’s University in Canada and his Masters of International Business &amp; Law from the University of Sydney in Australia, he spent 7 years in the corporate world. At age 30, after a fantastic experience, great learnings and profitable side investments, he cashed out &amp; wandered off, wanting to deepen his investing skills. He has travelled to almost 100 countries and lived in a dozen countries across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. He speaks English, French, Russian and German. If investing outside your home country, preferably somewhere with higher growth potential or yields is what you’re looking for then you’ll love this podcast episode. In this episode, we do something a little different. Instead of compiling a bunch of questions for Ladislas, Mikkel decided to have a friendly chat to talk about Investment opportunities around the world, cool places they have visited and just opened the floor for some really great conversation. Both Ladislas and Mikkel have visited roughly 100 countries give or take in their lifetime and they wanted to talk about how different countries offer different benefits for investing. And those that both would agree were not wise investments. Ladislas grew up with expat parents, which obviously swayed his decision to become an expat after working in the corporate world. The really neat thing about Ladislas travels is that he has wandered through countries that most would never even think of going. Some were for business, others purely pleasure. Listen in while Mikkel and Ladislas talk about: Uzbekistan Ivory Coast Liberia Ghana Oman Georgia Corruption in Africa Investing in Africa (no brainer!) and the theft from the Federal Reserve &nbsp; What Makes The Wandering Investor So Unique Ladislas then talks about his philosophy for investing and what makes his approach so appealing and down to earth and why he has become so successful at what he does. Lastly, they discuss Bitcoin. Why Ladislas loves it and the history with Bitcoin for both Mikkel and Ladislas. &nbsp; How to Reach Ladislas Maurice Ladislas@ExpatMoney.io &nbsp; Related Articles &amp; Podcast Episodes EP 068: Gunnar Garfors - Travel adventurer visits every country in the world!

Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Chad Elwartowski, the COO of Ocean Builders. You may not have heard of Ocean Builders, but you most likely have heard of SeaSteading and SeaPods.  As a first seasteader he brings along his expertise of knowing how life on the open ocean can be and what will be necessary for future customers to feel comfortable in their floating homes.  Ocean Builders is located at Linton Bay Marina on the Caribbean Sea in Panama. They are the first company to build a floating home in the open ocean with plans to build many more. Mikkel and Chad met back in January at a convention and they struck up a conversation regarding SeaSteading and LandSteading. Mikkel's interest was piqued and he really wanted his audience to understand what happened in Thailand and what great things are happening here in Panama. It's a fascinating story, and we're pretty sure you'll love listening to Chad tell it. If you're not sure what SeaSteading is, go check out Chad's company Ocean.Builders One of the really great things about Panama is that the government here is totally behind Ocean Builders concept and are supporting Chad and his company to build these pods both in shallow water and in deep water. Listen in as Chad also explains about LandSteading and what will be happening in Panama inland. Here are some points discussed: What will these pods look like What is the energy source What about garbage disposal Internet How are these units built Will these units affect the coral in the water Can you really 3D Print a home and so much more If you are interested in owning a pod whether it be on the shores of the Caribbean, out in International waters or in the interior of Panama, then please check out this podcast and reach out to Chad via his Facebook group The Seasteading Institute Chad Elwartowski YouTube &nbsp; Related Articles &amp; Podcast Episodes EP 085: Warren Black - International Tax Expert Champions For Sovereignty EP 071: John Perkins - Confessions of An Economic Hitman - Yesterday and Today!

Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Gill Phelan. Gill has truly led a most interesting life. He grew up in the cold north of the USA, moved to Florida after his divorce and now lives full time in Costa Rica, making Gill a true expat. He says his book ‘ The Caribbean of Costa Rica’ Live and Invests on the Last Frontier’ was written to help expats buy international Real Estate, specifically in Costa Rica. In 2005, with a partner, they started Grand View Estates Costa Rica on the Caribbean Sea which they lovingly call ‘The Last Frontier in Costa Rica”. They sold out their first three phases and are finishing up the project in Phase 4. Today we're going to really delve into WHY Costa Rica and WHY the Caribbean Side. What makes this country so amazing, and what you can expect to get when you buy one of Gill's homes. Gill came to call Costa Rica home on his first visit 20 years ago. He fell in love with the people, the economy and the natural beauty. Listen in to this amazing conversation Mikkel Thorup and Gill Phelan have. This is what they discuss: Eco-Friendliness Scuba Diving Do Dreams come true How do you know if you're cut out to live in Costa Rica Grand View Estates Costa Rica Is this a good investment if you're a senior The Monetary Stuff And so much more... I know you won't believe it, but Gill tells us that the land, which is anywhere from 1.25 - 1.50 of an acre costs $75,000 USD...no, that can't be true you're probably saying... And, you can have him build you a custom; a true blue custom; home, for $56/sq. meter...I said you wouldn't believe it. So listen to this podcast to actually hear Gill tell you himself. You're probably doing the math...1000 sq meters = 3281 sq ft (huge house) for $56,000...plus $75,000 for the land for a total of $131,000 USD. Sounds incredible...this is the real deal folks. &nbsp; Pictures and More Pictures Open up Facebook and go and look at Gill Phelan's community, called Grand View Estates Costa Rica you won't be disappointed. The best way to contact Gill is through his FB page or if you have specific questions, Gill says you can email him @ info@gillphelan.com.  He's happy to answer any questions you might have. &nbsp; Related Articles &amp; Podcast Episodes EP 082: Shlomo Freund – Financial Freedom for Expats EP 080: Dr. Sean McFate – How the New Face of War Will Affect You and Your Investments EP 068: Gunnar Garfors – Travel Adventurer Visits Every Country In The world!

All other country expats, you need to listen too. &nbsp; What's Covered In This Episode You will never look at doing your taxes by yourself again. Vincenzo and Mikkel discuss things like: Expats living overseas - what they need to do Why it's important to choose a specialist Myths that people believe about who needs to file their taxes and how much money they make before filing (you're going to LOVE this one) Who has to file Can you skimp on your tax accountant? What's the downside of not filing properly Cryptocurrency Capital gains and so much more!! &nbsp; NOTICE TO ALL ENTREPRENEURS!! Do you spend most of your day concentrating on the offence? How can I market more? How can I get more customers? More revenue? Vincenzo suggests concentrating on the defence. The discussion then turned to Puerto Rico and the decision was made to do another podcast episode just on Puerto Rico and Act 20/22. We are also going to write some articles about Act 20/22 for American Citizens. &nbsp; Related Articles &amp; Podcast Episodes In Episode 082: Shlomo Freund talks about Financial Freedom for Expats or Joel Nagel in Episode 063: How to Protect Your Assets so No-One Would ever Dare to Sue You &nbsp; Final Thoughts This was such an amazing interview with Vincenzo.

Paul Rosenberg has been deeply engaged with cryptography and cryptography-based projects since the first cypherpunk era. He wrote the first protocols for law in cyberspace, co-authored a foundational paper on private digital economies, and co-founded the Cryptohippie Anonymous VPN. He wrote the highly influential book A Lodging of Wayfaring Men, as well as Production Versus Plunder. He has been featured on or at: LewRockwell.com Zero Hedge RT Expat World International Man Freedom Fest               And many many more!  Paul Rosenberg is known for seeing things decades before others, as an example of this, in his book, A Lodging For Wayfaring Men, he talks about a fictional community of people using a digital currency based on cryptography for commerce. This was written in the 90s, a long time before the advent of Bitcoin, and because Paul was so involved in the cypherpunk space a lot of people believe Satoshi Nakamoto was actually inspired to create Bitcoin after reading this cult-classic book. In this episode we dig into a lot, including what is happening in the world right now and what Paul believe will happen next, these are insights from a true thought leader. Paul Rosenberg originally started his career in the construction, electrical, and business industry. He wrote books, taught courses, namely for Iowa State University, then, the Cryptography movement started. When Mikkel Thorup and Paul Rosenberg first met back in February of this year at a conference in Mexico, Mikkel knew that the discussion on Cryptography and Cryptocurrency would be an amazing talk and that you, his listeners, would find great value in his ideas and his awareness. But first, let’s talk about ‘What is Cryptography’. All of you use it, daily, but probably don’t really understand it. Here’s Wikipedia’s definition: What Is Cryptography? Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties called adversaries. More generally, cryptography is about constructing and analyzing protocols that prevent third parties or the public from reading private messages, various aspects iin information security such as data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation are central to modern cryptography. Modern cryptography exists at the intersection of the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, communication science, and physics. Applications of cryptography include electronic commerce, chip-based payment cards, digital currencies, computer passwords, and military communications. &nbsp; The Beginning of Cryptography So one may ask, ‘it’s 1993, how the...

Back in 2014, Ott Vatter was hired by the Estonian Government to work on a special project, to figure out how to distribute national documents to non-citizens globally using Estonia's e-government platform. He realized quickly that he needed more time and took on an additional 18 months. Today, 5 years later, he is still employed by the Estonian Government and is the Managing Director for the e-Residency program. Let’s start out with the not so obvious. Most of you may be thinking, ooh, e-residency in Estonia, I can go and live there and reap all the benefits of residency.  Well, it’s not exactly how it works. You can’t actually live in Estonia; however, the program is really forward-thinking and as a matter of fact, has attracted 70,000  e-residents and 11,000 businesses in the 5 years since it started. Listen to this really interesting podcast to learn what the real benefits of an Estonian e-residency. Mikkel Thorup and Ott Vatter discuss how, why and where you can apply for an e-residency. &nbsp; What Can You Expect When You Apply For An Estonian e-Residence How long can you expect to take before the process is complete Who gets accepted Who doesn’t get accepted What is the cost to apply Do I have to come to Estonia? Or can I do it all online What documents do I need to provide &nbsp; Is This Program For You? Ott and Mikkel also talk in length about who this program is for. Do you think you qualify? Do you want to qualify? &nbsp; What About Taxation? You are a US citizen travelling around the world as a digital nomad. Is getting an Estonian e-residency for you? Every country taxes their citizens differently, how different is Estonia? And of course, it’s not just income tax, what about VAT? Estonia is part of the EU, so do they fall into the same category with VAT? Are you required to pay it? Or can you sidestep the process? These are all really great questions that Ott Vatter and Mikkel Thorup discuss in this episode of The Expat Money Show. A ton of research goes into each and every episode here on The Expat Money Show, especially for something like this e-residency program. What I found that was so fascinating was their sense of community. Who would have thought that Digital Nomads would want to reach out to other Digital Nomads inside or outside of Estonia and connect?  Find out how and when they do exactly this and most importantly, why they do this. &nbsp; What Are The Next Steps? It’s been 5 years since this all began. The Estonian Government is now really good at what you do, considering 70,000 people have registered for this e-residency.  They clearly have the citizen's best interest at heart. What’s next? The Future for Digital Nomads is ever-changing. The Estonian Government wants to be in the forefront of technology. Listen in to find out what they have in mind to launch next, you will be blown away. If fact, it was so interesting that Mikkel asked if Ott maybe had some ‘inside information’ lol. &nbsp; How to Contact Ott Vatter Ott Vatter can be reached at <a style="background-color: transparent" href="https://e-resident.gov.ee/" target="_blank"...

It's great to be back! It's been a few months since I've have had the opportunity to sit down at my desk, put my headphones on and interview some of the most brilliant minds in the expat space. I'm happy to announce that today, I had an amazing conversation with Mr. Warren Black, from WealthSafe. Warren is a specialist in Australian and international taxation. His expertise is in offshore tax planning and higher-level tax structuring for investors and business owners. His credentials include over 30 years of experience in tax and wealth protection, 10 years at the Australian Taxation Office, he has qualifications as an accountant, lawyer and investment advisor. He is passionate about sovereignty and freeing business owners and investors from the oppression of unjust taxes and government asset thefts - 100% legally. Warren Black started out of university as an accountant. Law &amp; finance interested him so he decided to obtain a law degree. He worked for the government and absolutely hated it, so quit and opened his own tax business. A few years later he got certified as an investment Councillor and now runs a completely sovereign business helping individuals and businesses legally reduce their tax bill. In Warren’s own words, his mission is to "help his clients slash their tax 100% legally. Mikkel Thorup and Warren Black have a candid conversation about governments and what they each despise most about government control. The corruption, the bureaucracy, and if countries are not on the ball, we'll be seeing more go the way of Venezuela, Chile and Bolivia. For instance: &nbsp; ABU DHABI, UAE Countries like the UAE, where Mikkel Thorup and his family lived for over 8 years, originally had zero income tax. In fact, there was no tax of any sort. Then 2 years ago, they decided to implement a 5% VAT for the entire population. Nothing was exemt, if you could buy it, it was taxed. Well, the government racked in several million dollars in revenue, and as predicted, has gotten greedy and wants more. We could see that one coming. Once a government tastes this extra 'free' revenue, they always want more. Here it comes: as announced in KhaleejTimes, within the next 18 months, these taxes will be implemented. December 2019 100% tax on tobacco 50% on soft drinks Corporate Tax Property Tax Income Tax The government just doesn't realize that people have moved to the UAE due to the fact that they can make more money than at home and they don't have to pay any taxes. Do you think they've actually thought this one through? or are they just greedy parasites wanting what their citizens have and more? Predictions are that the population of the UAE will decrease quickly over the next several years. Companies that don't pay their employees a great salary today will have to double their wages so that they will stay in the country and work; and because of that, costs of goods will double, and all of a sudden the UAE isn't a great place to live and work any longer. Here are a few of my most favourite episodes so far (I have so many, it was really hard to choose) &nbsp; FINAL THOUGHTS I had a ton of fun with this interview with Warren Black from Wealth Safe. He is a die-hard libertarian, like me, so we had a lot to chat about. I know you'll love this interview as much as I do.

Mark Nestmann has a Masters of Law in international tax law. His work has been featured in well-known media outlets including The Washington Post, ABC News, The New York Times, Bloomberg News, Business Week and Forbes. Fans of his work include former US Congressman Ron Paul and Bob Bauman, as well as famed analysts Gary North and Dr Mark Skousen. He has been able to help more than 15,000 customers and clients protect their assets, protect themselves and live more free lives. In this interview with Mark Nestmann, they really dive deep on why the Americans have negative views towards offshore investing. &nbsp; Negative View Towards Offshore Investing Mikkel Thorup starts off this interview with Mark Nestmann talking about why US citizens have such a negative attitude about Americans living and doing business overseas. Is this a justified concerned? The US has the world’s largest economy. With 300 Million people, only 60% have travelled outside of the country. That leaves 40% that have not. Many have only travelled to the bordering countries, Canada and Mexico. So it’s hard for most Americans to understand why someone would want to move or live overseas. Mark Nestmann explains why Americans have this belief system and sets the record straight. Here are a few of the topics discussed about these negative views regarding offshore investing: The mainstream media equates investments outside the US with Tax evasion There are 9 million Americans that live overseas that require a bank account, why is this any different than Americans living inside the USA All nationalities must have a bank account if they live overseas &nbsp; Tax Havens, yes or no The next question Mikkel Thorup &amp; Mark Nestmann discuss is that the USA is the largest tax haven in the world. Due to FACTA, they have no information exchange. This information is invaluable and is quite interesting to learn from Mark. &nbsp; Mikkel asks Mark Nestmann: What have you seen, do most Americans who live outside the US live in tax havens? Is it hard for Americans to get bank accounts when they live overseas? The majority of US citizens living overseas actually have to pay higher taxes than if they lived in the USA. Canada is the #1 destination for US citizens to live overseas because it is right next door, they speak English and they have a similar culture. However, taxes are higher. 1 Million Americans live in Canada. 1 Million Americans also live in Mexico. The other 8 Million are spread throughout the rest of the world. &nbsp; Mikkel’s next question to Mark Nestmann was, why would an American wish to consider living outside the US? I’m sure many of you may be wondering about that. The US currency is really strong, there are lots of opportunities available for Americans, and if they have to pay higher taxes, what is the draw? Listen in to hear Mark discuss this in detail. &nbsp; Overseas Bank Accounts The discussion then turns to what unique entrepreneurial opportunities exist outside the US that isn’t available domestically. &nbsp; Apart from the need to readjust to a new culture when moving outside the US, what unique challenges do Americans face when they relocate to another country? &nbsp; Most will find this extremely interesting. There are more than nine million Americans living overseas, but only about 500,000 file tax returns with the IRS. Does that mean the other 8.5 million are evading tax? &nbsp; What options does an American living abroad have if he/she hasn’t been filing tax returns, FBARs, etc.? This is fully explained in this interview with Mark Nestmann. Make sure you have a pen and paper to take notes. &nbsp; To set the record straight, when do you have to file a tax return as an American? &nbsp; Related Articles &amp; Podcasts In...

English French Italian Spanish Portuguese Japanese Cantonese Arabic A Smattering of German and Thai (so these two Olly does not count in his eight languages) &nbsp; Where Did The Love of Language Come From The reasons for learning a second language are different for everyone, for Olly Richards, he wanted to converse with people from different nationalities. Growing up monolingual, learning French was Olly’s first foreign language. He worked extremely hard and lived in Paris. His next two languages were Spanish &amp; Portuguese. He states that these three languages were fairly easy to learn as a native English speaker. Why? Because they are very similar in nature, due to their Latin roots. Next came Japanese. Well, this is certainly different! Nothing prepared him for learning his 5th language. Listen to this interview with Olly Richards to hear how he managed to learn Japanese and Cantonese that have characters and have nothing to do with the rules of English. So fascinating! &nbsp; What is at the root of being able to learn a second language Or 8 languages as it is for Olly Richards. Mikkel Thorup and Olly Richards talk about their experiences as they have decided and followed through to learn a second language. What was it for them? What is it for you? Are you thinking of learning a foreign language? Are you relocating to another country and feel forced to learn a second language? During this interview with Olly Richards, he takes all the questions you may have and the doubts that you have instilled in yourself, your limiting belief pattern, and squashes every idea you’ve ever thought to be true. &nbsp; WANT $100 OFF OLLYS FRENCH COURSE?

Shlomo Freund is a serial entrepreneur. His latest company is called Free Financial Self, where he helps expats eliminate money as a source of stress and gain confidence in their future finances. He has travelled to 32 countries so far and he lived in China for 3 years as an expat. There he built a company that is still operating called App In China, where he helps foreign companies distribute their app on the Chinese market. In this episode of The Expat Money Show, we are going to discuss financial freedom for expats. &nbsp; As promised, from Free Financial Self:  Click Here For Free Net Worth Calculator &nbsp; Mikkel Thorup and Shlomo Freund discuss how and why expats need help becoming financially free. I’m sure you won’t be surprised! Tips to avoid falling into several traps that steal your hard-earned money; however, may be surprising. Today’s episode is all about a system of preparation and follows through to achieve financial freedom for you, the expat. &nbsp; When we talk about financial freedom for expats, we’re not talking about making enough money to live off. We’re discussing how to take the money you do make, and make it work for you. &nbsp; If you’ve wondered how entrepreneurs make and keep their money, this is how they do it. &nbsp; During this interview with Shlomo, he explains that you MUST start at the beginning. Point A What do you want to happen in 5 years, 10 years, 30 years where do you want to go have you calculated your net worth? if not, this needs to be done This is Point A &nbsp; So what is Point B? There is so much to know about Point B and Shlomo tells us all how this is done. &nbsp; Here are some of the concepts Shlomo Freund from Free Financial Self talks about in this episode. Crowd Investing Crowd investing is the term given when a large group of people, the crowd, co-invest in people or businesses online. CI encompasses both equity and debt forms of investing as well as hybrid forms of the two. Those investing together don’t necessarily know each other before they decide to invest &nbsp; Equity crowdfunding This is perhaps the type of crowd investing that investors are most familiar with. Equity crowdfunding allows businesses to sell shares in their company to ‘the crowd’. &nbsp; Peer-to-Peer Lending Peer-to-peer lending, also abbreviated as P2P lending, is the practice of lending money to individuals or businesses through online services that match lenders with borrowers. &nbsp; Mikkel asks, ‘how different is this from being a Digital Nomad? Shlomo explains in full detail. During this interview, Mikkel asks some really great questions for Shlomo to walk you all through what it would be like for you if you can see what it is you desire for your life. What is most important to you? Do you want to get married in 5 years? Start having a family in 8 years? What about retirement? Let’s say you are 25 right now, what do you do? Where do you start? Before you know it, 20 years has flown by, you’re 45 years old and you haven’t saved a penny. You did get married but didn’t have the wedding you really wanted or haven’t been able to give your children what they want or deserve. &nbsp; Why? &nbsp; Because you didn’t have a plan to get where you wanted to go. At Free Financial Self, this is what Shlomo helps entrepreneurs at any stage of their life get. Financial freedom for expats is doable and if this is important to you, then I urge you strongly to listen to this episode. It...

Dr. Sean Mcfate is a strategic maverick. He is an author, novelist, and expert in foreign policy and national security strategy and is a professor of strategy at the National Defense University and Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. He began his career as a paratrooper and officer in the U.S. Army’s storied 82nd Airborne Division. Among his many experiences, he dealt with warlords, raised small armies, worked with armed groups in the Sahara, transacted arms deals in Eastern Europe, and helped prevent an impending genocide in the Rwanda region. Looking forward as the new face of war and the new rules of war. After reading his newest book, The New Rules of War: Victory in the Age of Durable Disorder, you will agree, it is fantastic. And I have heard, it is generating a lot of discussion inside the Pentagon. &nbsp; How Do You Become a Mercenary? Dr. Sean McFate shares his early years in the 1990s where it all began. From his life as a paratrooper to working for a private military company in Africa in the 2000s. His story is one we only hear about in action movies and spy game novels. But this, however, was Dr. McFate’s life, and the lives of many many people. We try to think that maybe things like this don’t happen to real people, that it is a concept for the movies, but let me tell you, these people are real and they have been in existence for thousands of years. He was a private military contractor which is a euphemism for a mercenary. In this interview with Dr. Sean McFate, Mikkel asks the hard questions. Make sure you listen to this compelling interview. &nbsp; Before we go too much further, let’s get some definitions out of the way. It’s important you understand what we’re talking about in this interview. &nbsp; Definitions Mercenary Mercenary: noun 1. a professional soldier hired to serve in a foreign army. A person employed to fight in an armed conflict who is not a member of the state or military group for which they are fighting and whose prime or sole motivation is private gain. Lexicon for the word Mercenary: lexicon noun: the vocabulary of a person, language, or branch of knowledge. “the size of the English lexicon” People think of villains, that Soldiers are wives and Mercenaries are prostitutes. They think of the 1960’s Congo, Murderous people killing people. But nothing could be farther from the truth. Soldier Soldier (noun): an enlisted man or woman who serves in an army Army Army, regular army, ground forces(noun): a permanent organization of the military land forces of a nation or state Hegemon: something (such as a political state) having dominant influence or authority over others: one possessing hegemony Has it Always Been This Way in the Face of War Mikkel Thorup and Dr. Sean McFate discuss Balkanisation which is a geopolitical term for the process of fragmentation or division of a region or state into smaller regions or states that are often hostile or uncooperative with one another. Balkanization is a result of foreign policies creating geopolitical fragmentation,

Mikkel Thorup, host of the Expat Money Show interviews himself. Truly it is nice to hear what’s been going on in the life of an expat living in the Middle East. The changes over the past 6 months, and what’s ahead for the next 6 months. The fact that he has written an email for EMS Pulse Daily Newsletter every day for more than 300 days is pretty darn impressive! Imagine 79 Weeks straight of broadcasting the Expat Money Show. Every. Single. Friday! Mikkel shares what it’s like to have a weekly podcast, the work involved and how much growth has taken place since he ventured into this space. The great thing about podcasting is that it’s very personal. He researches his guests, talks with them, books them on the show and then really gets to know them on a personal level during the one-hour conversation. After the episode airs he sends the recording to his guest so that they can send out to their audience, and he, of course, sends to his via his website, the Expat Money Show. It becomes like a cross-pollination of genres and fans. It’s a win/win for sure. &nbsp; Past Guests We’ve always believed in co-operation, not competition. That’s why you’ll hear from guests that are in our field in the offshore market. Guests like Doug Casey in episode 60 from International Man. Or Richard Maybury from The Early Warning Report in episode 6. And John Perkins from episode 71 – Confessions of an Economic Hitman. These old boys really know how to knock it out of the park! The lessons of life learned from these 3 veterans are like gold. If you haven’t listened to these 3 podcasts specifically, go and take some time so that you can understand where we were and where we should be going, today!! Past guests become friends in most cases. Everyone works together to help build each other up so that’s what makes podcasting so worthwhile. For Mikkel, this is what makes the business so much fun. &nbsp; EMS Pulse Daily Newsletter Those of you that are on NOT on the EMS Pulse daily newsletter, head on over to the website, Expat Money Show and sign up right now. As a bonus, you’ll receive the 15 Global Strategies to Protect your Wealth. Podcast guest from episode 63: Joel Nagel, and Mikkel Thorup worked exceptionally hard to create this amazing resource tool just for you!

Brandon Pearce is the creator of Family Adventure Academy, an annual live event for families interested in long-term travel, location independence, alternative education, entrepreneurship, community, deepening family relationships, and more. With his wife and 3 children, they have been travelling the world for the past 10 years, visiting over 40 countries and world schooling their children along the way. &nbsp; “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did.” ~ Mark Twain &nbsp; What’s the difference between world schooling, homeschooling, and unschooling. &nbsp; World Schooling World Schooling is an opportunity to let your children grow at their own pace. To develop the confidence to turn strangers into friends knowing that you are there close-by while they need you. With world schooling, children learn from real-life experiences. They can learn naturally about the places they go, the people they meet and the experiences they have. Imagine learning about the pyramids by travelling down the Nile River in Egypt; volcanos at the top of Mount Vesuvius; the Amazon rain forest on a riverboat cruise down the Amazon River, about Buddhism in Thailand. &nbsp; Homeschooling Homeschooling, also known as home education is the education of children at home or a variety of other places. Home education is usually conducted by a parent or tutor or online teacher. Many families use less formal ways of educating. “Homeschooling” is the term commonly used in North America, whereas “home education” is commonly used in the United Kingdom, Europe, and in many Commonwealth countries. &nbsp; Unschooling Unschooling is an educational method and philosophy that advocates learner-chosen activities as a primary means for learning. Students learn through their natural life experiences including play, household responsibilities, personal interests and curiosity, internships and work experience, travel, books, elective classes, family, mentors, and social interaction. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities initiated by the children themselves, believing that the more personal learning is the more meaningful, well-understood and therefore useful it is to the child. While courses may occasionally be taken, unschooling questions the usefulness of standard curricula, conventional grading methods, and other features of traditional schooling in the education of each unique child. &nbsp; World schooling and homeschooling is always a hot topic here on the Expat Money Show. We’ve had several guests that decided that living the life of an Expat Entrepreneur was the way to go. Sam McRoberts from the USA is one of them. Running his SEO Company, Vudu Marketing from the road, along with his wife and son, they are travelling the world while world schooling. This episode was fantastic, and even if you’ve listened to it once, it’s worth listening to again. &nbsp; If you’re still not satisfied that Unschooling is what’s best for your children, here’s an article that Mikkel Thorup wrote last year. It will open your eyes to what’s going on with traditional education. MY EXPERIENCE WITH GOVERNMENT-RUN...

Victoria Island, the financial center of the metropolis, is known for its beach resorts, boutiques, and nightlife. To the north, Lagos Island is home to the National Museum Lagos, displaying cultural artifacts and craftworks. Nearby is Freedom Park, once a colonial-era prison and now a major venue for concerts and public events. With a population of 21,000,000, Lagos is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. &nbsp; Imagine leaving your home country of Poland to start a business in one of the largest cities in the world population wise. That’s what Marek Zmyslowski did in 2013. His story is incredible! &nbsp; Corruption is rampant! The police, the government, the people. How do you create something new and profitable? Will the people accept you? Listen in to this episode with Marek Zmyslowski to hear his stories. These stories led him to write ‘Chasing Black Unicorns’. &nbsp; Chasing Black Unicorns Wolf of Wall Street meets Indiana Jones. “Chasing Black Unicorns” is a memoir of one of the most recognized Polish internet entrepreneurs, Marek Zmysłowski. Witty and humorous, although it describes real, often dangerous events. Before moving to Nigeria to build the Amazon of Africa, Zmysłowski was an early employee of one of the biggest Polish financial services company and the founder of many online ventures in Eastern Europe. &nbsp; While building the first nationwide network of funeral services, he had to face the Polish mafia. His businesses in Nigeria made him some powerful enemies, who corrupted the police and government officials against him. Overnight Marek Zmyslowski became an international fugitive on the run and was put on the most wanted list by Interpol, an organization with a history of abuse by corrupt regimes.

Dr. Jack Wheeler has been described by The Wall Street Journal as “The Real Indiana Jones”. His lifelong accomplishments are so impressive that it’s hard to pick just a few.  Many would say that he is one of the greatest explorers of our time and the most interesting man of modern times. &nbsp; Dr. Jack Wheeler ~ The Real Indiana Jones At age 12 he was the youngest Eagle Scout in American history and travelled to the White House to meet President Eisenhower. At 14 he was the youngest person to summit the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps. In 1979 he led an expedition retracing, for the first time in history, Hannibal’s route over the Alps with Elephants. In 1981, he set the world record for the Most Northerly Parachute Jump: at 90°North, free-falling right onto the North Pole. And in 1996 he defeated both Vladimir Putin and his KGB bodyguard in arm wrestling in Kelly's Irish Times bar on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. After receiving his Ph.D. in Aristotelian ethics from the University of Southern California in 1976, Dr. Jack Wheeler wrote his first book, The Adventurer’s Guide, the first how-to handbook to becoming an adventurer oneself. In the same year, 1976, Dr. Jack Wheeler founded Wheeler Adventures, later to become Wheeler Expeditions, with the goal of leading anyone with an intrepid spirit and a positive attitude on thrilling journeys all around the world. He has designed and led unique, first-class adventures to exotic locations all around the world. Mikkel Thorup and Dr. Wheeler talk about his Ph.D. in Aristotelian Ethics and discuss this statement: A life of Eudaimonia is a life of striving. It’s a life of pushing yourself to your limits and finding success. A Eudaimonistic life will be full of the happiness that comes from achieving something really difficult, rather than just having it handed to you. Having a Ph.D. in Aristotelian Ethics led Dr. Jack Wheeler to explore the world in a unique and thought-provoking way. He asked questions of others that were compelling. This episode is so interesting in so many ways. If you're like me, you wonder how people like Jack Wheeler and my previous guests can live a life filled with intrigue, espionage, and wonderment. In this episode, we talk about all of that and more! Please don't miss this amazing chat with The Real-Life Indiana Jones! I absolutely love learning from my guests who have lived their lives to the fullest and have so many amazing and insightful stories. Stories that only they can tell, stories that don't happen to a countless number of people, only to them. Listen in to EP 036: Jim Rogers wherein 2002, arriving back home in NYC after completing his third Guinness World Record being on the road for 3 years, covering more than 245,000 kilometres in a one-of-a-kind Mercedes-Benz taking them to six continents and 116 countries. Or, EP 071: John Perkins as an economic hitman in the 70's. Then EP 070: Maurice Glazer who has been in the tax game since he was 7 years old (pretty amazing considering he's now 79!) Last but not least,  EP 069: Richard Maybury starting his career years ago in the US Air Force and flew missions in South and Central America. These old boys recount how life was then and now. These guys are historians, so please take a few hours and listen to...

Gunnar Garfors is a Norwegian media professional, traveller, and author who has circumnavigated the globe, visiting every country in the world. Not once, but twice! Author of Nowhere, his newest book walks us through the 20 least visited countries in the world. The first time for Gunnar Garfors was on May 8th, 2013. He entered the 198th and last country, Cape Verde, as a 37 years-and-344-days-old, which made him the youngest person to visit all the countries of the world while working full-time, or as a hobby traveller. Recently, he became the first person to have visited every country in the world TWICE. Consequently, while accomplishing this amazing feat, he has set several Guinness World Records. &nbsp; Guinness World Record ~ 5 Countries on 5 Continents in just one day ~ 19 Countries in 24 hours ~ 22 US states in 24 hours &nbsp; Travel Changes You Gunnar Garfors says he's a Globetrotter and seeing the world has opened his eyes in so many ways that he would like to inspire others to do the same, or at least travel more.  We hear that a lot from our guests that are avid travellers. They all agree, Travel Changes You! And almost always for the best! &nbsp; Travel Makes People Unite We've had some pretty awesome guests on our show. With Mikkel being such an avid traveller himself, he loves to hear stories about exotic and unknown countries. In Ep 60: Doug Casey or Ep: Frank Bures - we talk about dangerous adventures in Africa, really a fascinating episode. If you haven't listened in yet, definitely go back and enjoy! &nbsp; Nowhere - The 20 Least Visited Countries in the World Gunnar Garfors newest book, Nowhere - The 20 Least Visited Countries is due in Norway bookstores this April. The rest of the world will have to wait until later this year! The concept behind his new book Nowhere is to showcase the 20 least visited countries in the world. &nbsp; Mikkel does his very best to figure out which 20 countries out of 198 are the least visited! It's quite funny really as Mikkel manages to figure out about 1/2 of them. Gunnar Garfors talks about a few in this wonderful interview. He recounts stories of how he got into some of these war-torn countries and lived to tell the tale. Countries like Comoros, Africa getting 28,000 visitors a year. Why don't more visit this tiny island nation? What's there to attract tourism? What can be done to bring more tourists? &nbsp; If countries like Comoros, or any other island nation interests you, you must go back and listen to Ep 031: James Ellsmoor as he talks about small island nations and the problems that they deal with today. &nbsp; We talk about the South Pacific. Countries you may not have heard of, and why most don't go for a visit. It's usually not that they are not beautiful in their own right, it's usually infrastructure, government policies, etc. &nbsp; Have you always wondered what countries like Iran and North Korea would be like to visit? Mikkel and Gunnar have both been...fascinating how they both felt the same about these two beautiful countries. &nbsp; How about South Sudan, Yemen or Somalia? What does it take to enter into these countries? Are you somewhat interested? Have the wars destroyed the natural beauty of the landscape? Gunnar has been twice, to all of these countries and has found in some cases, drastic changes from the first visit to the last visit. &nbsp; Books by

Lobo Tiggre explains what makes a great speculator. Is it different than a gambler? What are the important distinctions between the two? When you hear the word 'Speculator' what comes to mind? Mikkel Thorup and Lobo Tiggre discuss this as a profession or how becoming a Speculator could be an additional source of income. We talk about how Gold is mined? where is it mined? What does gold mining look like in the beginning, with the Geologists and coming in contact with illegal miners. Lobo Tiggre tells a story about how creative locals can be when they believe there is something of value in the land they own. In Africa, many countries have a rule for artisan miners. If you can dig out of the ground by hand on your ancestral grounds with hand tools than that's free for you. &nbsp; [caption id="attachment_4387" align="alignnone" width="485"] Lobo Tiggre in front of the Reverse Ziggurat in Africa[/caption] &nbsp; Additional Streams of Income After 67 episodes of The Expat Money Show, we have a few recurring themes with our guests and that is how to create additional streams of income. As an Expat we feel that it's important to have at least one additional stream of income and there are so many to choose from.  In Episode 058: Pete Sisco, we talk about how to start an online business so you can safely leave the rat race. In episode 044: Ian Bond, we talk about E-Commerce and Drop Shipping. This episode with Lobo Tiggre is another way to add additional streams of income. Becoming a Speculator. I believe you will really get a ton of value from this episode, so make sure to listen to all of the stories that Lobo shares with us, they are really incredible. Even in episode 036: with Jim Rogers, he explains why these types of professions are so important! &nbsp; Who is Louis James?

By 2007, he was writing and making investment recommendations in Casey’s flagship newsletter, the International Speculator. Now he brings his experience, his connections,...

In this interview with Christoph Heuermann, we talk in detail about Libertarian concepts like his association with the Free Private City Project in Honduras; plus, alternative investments in Walnut farms overseas. Christoph Heuermann has been to 140 countries as of this interview. That's pretty impressive for sure, and along the way, he does his best to understand the culture and the way of life that each country offers. When an alternative investment presents itself he has a better understanding of how the idea can play out. &nbsp; Libertarian Concepts So the theme for today's interview with Christoph Heuermann was to look at alternative ways to make investments. Most would consider these Libertarian concepts. Things we were not taught in school, and not taught in University economic classes. So where do you learn about these Libertarian concepts?  Great question for our listeners! &nbsp; Alternative Investments "Alternative Investments are investments or funds that invest in asset classes other than stocks, bonds, and cash. The term is a relatively loose one and includes tangible assets such as precious metals, arts, wine, antiques, coins, or stamps and some financial assets such as real estate" Christoph Heuermann walks us through how he defines Alternative Investments and the risks involved. Risks can be anything from the local government buying back the land you've purchased, or bad weather for agriculture. Listen in to hear more! &nbsp; Investing in Walnut Farms Alternative Investments like investing in walnut farms may seem like an unusual concept, but as we listen to Christoph Heuermann talk in depth about how it all begins and how each year plays out, we can get a feel for why so many leave the traditional investments and look elsewhere for healthy returns. Walnut Farm &nbsp; Free Private City Project After listening to this podcast regarding Free Private City Project in Honduras, you may be asking for more. If we could go back in time, even 50 years ago, and invest some money in Singapore or Hong Kong, would you do it? Of course, you would! Free Private City Project could be just that; the twist will be the Libertarian concepts applied. Take notes from this episode, lots to learn! &nbsp; How to Reach Christoph Heuermann www.tax-free.today christoph.today personal blog &nbsp; FINAL THOUGHTS Fascinating interview with Christoph Heuermann from Tax-Free.today. I'm certainly intrigued about the Libertarian concept of the Free Private City Project in Honduras. I truly believe that this interview will help many of our subscribers see a brighter future. &nbsp; If you would like to stay up to date with all new content that comes out at The Expat Money Show make sure you sign up below for our newsletter; EMS Pulse. – My behind the scene daily correspondence where I give you all the intel as I travel the world and build my business, develop key relationships and invest in non-traditional investments overseas (very profitably I might add!)

In this episode of The Expat Money Show, we speak to Ronald Stöferle, author of In Gold We Trust Report. We talk about the relationship between The Austrian School of Economics And The Gold Standard. Also, China's Role In Gold Markets, and his Gold Predictions going forward. &nbsp; Ronald Stöferle Ronald Stöferle is one of four managing partners in Incrementum AG, an independent investment and asset management company based in Liechtenstein. They specialize in a holistic form of asset management and professional portfolio management for retail investors. Along with his partner Mark Valek, they have created an annual gold report, In Gold We Trust Report, which is the gold standard of all gold studies. &nbsp; The Austrian School of Economics And The Gold Standard I ask Ronald Stöferle about The Austrian School of Economics and the Gold Standard and their relationship together. Ronald explains it is not so much about gold and the gold standard. The Austrian School of Economics is a way to look at investing in general and how investing and monetary flow fits into our world. Listen in to hear Ronald Stöferle's views on The Austrian School of Economics and the Gold Standard in his own words. &nbsp; China's Role In Gold Markets China's role in gold markets is extremely interesting. Obviously, we know that governments like China are using gold as a way to hedge against inflation, and as Ronald Stöferle explains in this interview it's pretty much a non-secret that China holds a considerable amount more gold than they are reporting to the rest of the world. Listen to Ronald Stöferle's stories of visiting Shanghai and his opinions on China's role in gold markets. &nbsp; Gold Prediction 2019 We discuss not only gold predictions for 2019 but also for 5 and 10 years out. Will it be 5k an oz? 6k an oz? Listen to today's interview with Ronald Stöferle to hear where he thinks gold is heading. And as importantly, WHY he believes it will go in that direction. &nbsp; In Gold We Trust Report In Gold We Trust Report is the gold standard in gold reports. Last year it was downloaded more than 1.7 million times and is available in English and German (2019 will also be available in Chinese). The report is now more than 230 pages long and has taken a team of analysts months of work to compile. Listen in to hear Ronald Stöferle explain how he has tried to incorporate an Austrian School of Economics view of the world in his report and how he uses fun easily understood examples of the value of gold in relation to things like the price of 1L of beer at Octoberfest in Munich, or gold in relation to the price of a ticket to Walt Disney World. Ronald Stöferle and his team do a fantastic job of explaining gold in a way that anyone can understand. I guess that's why the In Gold We Trust Report is so wildly popular! Download your copy for free and learn more about what Ronald Stöferle and his team do here: https://InGoldWeTrust.report &nbsp; FINAL THOUGHTS Obviously, by listening to this episode, you will see I am massively into tracking and understanding the gold markets and how it relates to the financial affairs for Expats around the world. I see this as a worldwide currency that combats out of control governments from completely eroding our wealth. I hope you got as much value from this interview with Ronald Stöferle as I did… and if you would like to stay up to date with all new content that comes out at The Expat Money Show make sure you sign up below for our newsletter; EMS Pulse. – my behind the scene daily correspondence where I give you all the intel as I...

In this episode of The Expat Money Show, we interview Oliver Wagner to talk about a very controversial subject. That is, how to renounce US citizenship. We get answers to questions like: Why do people renounce their US citizenship? What is an Accidental American? How To Renounce US Citizenship? What are the pros and cons of renouncing US citizenship? What are the tax implications of renouncing US citizenship? and How much does it cost to renounce US citizenship? &nbsp; Notes on Today's Interview with Oliver Wagner You may be asking yourself, is this for me? Let me tell you, this is not for 99% of the population. However, for a certain portion of my audience, it is extremely valuable. &nbsp; In my research, I've found a lack of reliable information for American Citizens who want to renounce their citizenship. &nbsp; We get into details why some people choose to do this and I am not saying people should do this, but for certain Expats, it really does make sense.  Americans are taxed on worldwide income no matter where they live… so it can mean tens of thousands of dollars in taxes every year. &nbsp; I will also tell you that this interview is really dense. It is a Masterclass in how to renounce your citizenship, by a CPA who does this every day, all day. &nbsp; This interview is so packed full of information I decided to have the entire episode transcribed. This way you can go through it carefully. The transcription is at the bottom of the show notes for today's interview. &nbsp; Who is Olivier Wagner Today's guest is an IRS Enrolled Agent and CPA (Certified Public Accountant) who specializes in tax services for US expats. He is the best selling author of ‘U.S. Taxes for Worldly Americans' and with his company, 1040 Abroad, his goal is to eliminate tax anxiety - by helping expatriates become US tax compliant. &nbsp; Why do people renounce their US citizenship? There are a whole host of reasons people renounce their US citizenship. The main reason is the tax implications.  Oliver Wagner explains that it is often not the taxes themselves that people owe money for. It is the fee from their CPA or accountant who must file their tax return every year. Add to this all the yearly bureaucratic paperwork that goes into filing your taxes, renouncing your citizenship makes sense. Make sure to listen in to this complete episode with Olivier Wagner.  Or you can download the transcripts at the bottom of this page to get the full explanation. &nbsp; What is an Accidental American? Who should consider renouncing their US citizenship? An Accidental American is someone who has dual citizenship and does not live in the USA. Perhaps they never actually lived in the USA at all. They may have been born there or one of their parents are American, so they are subject to citizen-based taxation. Or, as it is often referred to as worldwide taxation. If you are an American citizen or American green card holder and earn more than $10,000 a year it is your obligation to file a tax return no matter where you live in the world. &nbsp; If you are an American taxpayer and live as an Expat feel free to fill out the form at the bottom of this page for recommendations on a competent and trustworthy Expat CPA, like Olivier Wagner, who can file your taxes for you. It is worth every penny to hire a great CPA for your Expat taxes. They will help navigate the entire process and can often save you considerable amounts of money, certainly more than you have to pay them. Once again, it is mandatory to be tax compliant and we are able to help accidental Americans and other American Expats become tax compliant in a straightforward and expert manner. Although I do not believe the income tax is just or right I never advise anyone to break the law and we do not deal in...

In this interview with Bobby Casey, we talk about the definition of an Anarchist and how blockchain and anarchy give you true personal freedom. We also touch on the definition of a Libertarian and what the differences between this and Anarchy is. Bobby Casey is an expat anarchist who believes that blockchain is the way of the future, creating smart contracts for just about anything you want, and a way to replace the government. &nbsp; Like so many of our guests, at 19 years old, Bobby Casey only lasted 1 year in college before realizing that this was not how he wanted to spend his life, taking 4 years of college to start working for someone else. Coming from an Entrepreneurial family, Bobby Casey was destined to become a leader, to help others live a better life. &nbsp; After many attempts and failures, Bobby Casey hit a home run with a company that grew into an $8 Million venture. Then something happened that no one saw coming. A new company on the block came along with a new, better software platform. In Bobby Casey's words: they got their asses kicked.  His company, along with a lot of his competitors, could not compete and eventually many of them shut down. By the time these large companies realized that this new company with fantastic software couldn't deliver, it was too late. The good news for Bobby was that he sold his venture for a nice profit. &nbsp; So with money in hand, he recalled family dinner topics. Like, 'how to properly structure an LLC, asset protection, and investments' Even as a 14-year-old he was part of the family discussions and recalled them later in life realizing that he didn't want to pay high taxes, and wondered how he could protect himself from liability. &nbsp; The Next Step Bobby Casey talks us through how in 2007, his company Global Wealth Protection came about. Where he started, why it was so important for him and who he works with. As Bobby realized, he needed to plug his holes, so his friends were likely in the same boat. &nbsp; In this interview with Bobby Casey we spend a ton of time talking about the Blockchain and Anarchy, also: Crypto Currency Gold &amp; Silver Stock Market Overseas Real estate Block Chain is the way of the future Decentralized currency Smart Contracts &nbsp; What's the Difference Between a Libertarian and an Anarchist Answer: About 7 years! As Bobby would say! Once you've made the decision to become a Libertarian, it takes 7 years to make the move to being a full-blown Anarchist! &nbsp; Definition of a Libertarian The definition of a libertarian is a person who believes in free will. &nbsp; Definition of an Anarchist The definition of an Anarchists are people who want to live under their own authority. They are against having a political party making the rules. Anarchists are extremely peaceful, but when pushed they will take action. Also, the definition of an anarchist is a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power. &nbsp; Blockchain and Anarchy You might be wondering how Blockchain and Anarchy could solve the problems with how governments currently run, so we could move away from traditional government and no longer have lines in the sand. 100 years ago we had around 100 countries; today, we have 193...why? &nbsp; How to Reach Bobby Casey www.globalwealthprotection.com &nbsp; I hope you got as much value from this interview with Bobby Casey as I did… and if you would like to stay up to date with all new content that comes out at The Expat Money Show make sure you sign up below for our newsletter;...

Jonathan Levi ~ Super Human, Super Powers, Memory Export, SuperLearner~Are you born with these skills? or do you develop them! How to get superpowers anyways? How about being an entrepreneur? Do you have to work harder and longer than anyone else? or are their 'hacks' for becoming one of the greats in your lifetime? Is there someone you emulate and want to be just like? and have you wondered how they got there? Can you change YOUR life and become all that you want, without huge sacrifices? or is it possible? Have you ever wondered if you could become a better boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse? what about a better parent or is it all in the genes we were dealt? Would you like the skill to get up on stage fearless? write a book? learn how to code? be a mathematician? or do these ideas scare you enough to not even give them a try? Does the thought go through your mind, 'these skills must be for the brave, the fearless, the brainiacs of our time. I couldn't possibly achieve all that's out there'. &nbsp; How to Get Super Powers Jonathan Levi and Mikkel Thorup talk about all of this. They talk about how to get super human powers and becoming a SuperLearner and that we can all achieve what we most desire. And yes, there is work involved, this is not about a mantra that says, 'I have no fear, I have no fear'. This is about attaining the secret skills that we don't learn in school, that someone like Jonathan Levi and his SuperLearner course can teach you. Jonathan Levi coined: The intellectual Pigmalian Effect- how others can influence someone's ability. If they believe you are highly intelligent and can get the work done, then you most likely will. The Intellectual Golem Effect - The same effect if they believe you cannot do the job, you won't.

Gregor Gregersen is the CEO and founder of Silver Bullion Pte Ltd. A gold bullion and silver bullion Singapore dealer as well as The Safe House. A Singaporean Vault company for many types of precious metals; including electric vehicle metals. Gregor Gregersen has lived as an Expat for nearly 38 years, and he actually gave up his German passport to become a Singaporean citizen. In this interview, we talk about why Gregor chose this country to build his vault for gold bullion and silver bullion Singapore and how this led to electric vehicle metals. &nbsp; What are "Electric Vehicle Metals"? The Electric Vehicle Metals I am referring to are the metals that go into the batteries that power electric cars. These are precious metals and bullion of high grade. They are used in the manufacturing process and compose the bulk of the batteries themselves. &nbsp; Why Should we care about Electric Vehicle Metals and Batteries? Electric vehicle batteries are becoming too cheap to ignore. In the past 4 years, production costs for EV batteries have fallen by over 70%, thanks to investments from major automakers. Elon Musk thinks that these costs will fall a further 20% by 2020. That would make these batteries cheaper to produce than internal combustion engines. &nbsp; Special Report on Electric Vehicle Metals After recording the interview with Gregor Gregorson I got massively interested in the topic of electric vehicle metals as an investment. &nbsp; I took everything I learned from Gregor plus a couple of hundred hours of research and I compiled it down into a special report. In this special report, I break down why electric vehicle metals is a space you should really be paying attention to, what the opportunities are, what the pitfalls are and most importantly how you can get involved. I think you will see that the world is changing, fortunes are being made and by the time you hear about it on mainstream media it will be too late and you will have missed your chance. &nbsp; In my daily life, I travel the world searching for unique opportunities, I put an intense amount of due diligence in my research and when I find something really extraordinary I share it with my subscribers. &nbsp; This is one of those times... &nbsp; I was thinking about charging for this special report on electric vehicle metals…. Maybe $97 or $197 or maybe it will be part of a paid subscription newsletter I am working on, I have not decided yet... &nbsp; In the meantime I don't want to delay, this is timely information and I want to get this special report into your hands as fast as possible… therefore I will let you have a copy of it for free for being a loyal listener of this podcast. &nbsp; If you really want to dig into electric vehicle metals as an investment; to learn about the opportunities, how to protect your investment and what the exact steps are to get started in the most profitable way possible you can download your copy of the report for free by clicking HERE. &nbsp; What Does Gregor Gregersen Store in his Singaporean Vault Silver Bullion Singapore holds all types of precious metals including gold bullion, silver bullion, platinum bullion. They buy, sell and test all types of bullion. And of course, as we talk about in this interview electric vehicle metals. &nbsp; Conversations on Commodities With Gregor Gregersen I find conversations on commodities like electric vehicle metals really fascinating. I have been speculating on things like this for nearly 10 years now. Sufficed to say a

Rico Ngoma grew up in Canada and at a very young age realized being an expat entrepreneur was in his blood. After a trip to China and seeing the difficulty with finding how to source products in China for drop shipping and how to do business in China, Rico realized that he could assist other entrepreneurs on how to find a good manufacturer in China. &nbsp; Rico Ngoma talks to us about his life since 2014 living and working in Guangzhou, China. With 24 Million people and thousands of factories, most would find it almost impossible to navigate, especially with the language barrier. China is not like most countries where English is spoken in most parts of the country. To survive in China, one must learn even the basics of Mandarin just to survive. Rico found a small expat entrepreneur community in Guangzhou, which has helped him to feel more at home. &nbsp; Source Find Asia is Rico's company. He explains to Mikkel how they are problem solvers for those that want to learn: How to do business in China How to source products in China for drop shipping And how to find a good manufacturer in China. &nbsp; Rico Explains How to do Business in China Rico Ngoma and Mikkel Thorup chat about how to do business in China and the concept that China is a great source for drop shipping, but where do you start? who do you trust? These questions and more, from someone that knows how to source products in China for dropshipping. Rico Ngoma tells us the difference between a Trading Company and a Factory. Rico recounts some pretty funny stories about when they first started Source Find Asia. He claims that you must be a detective to really understand how the buying works in China. &nbsp; How to Find a Good Manufacturer in China Rico Ngoma chats about how to find a good manufacturer in China and how to source products in China for drop shipping and all the pitfalls that can happen if you're not aware of the many different areas that need to be covered when you want to learn how to source products in China for dropshipping. &nbsp; Rico Ngoma's company: Source Find Asia Manufacturing Consultants Introduction to Factories Interpreting the language Peace of Mind for Clients and more!! &nbsp; If becoming an expat entrepreneur is in your blood, or you want to learn how to do business in China, or how to source products in China for drop shipping listen to Ep 029: Jim Cockrum - where Jim talks about how his company does $25 Million in Sales on Amazon. &nbsp; How to Reach Rico Ngoma www.SourceFindAsia.com Made in China Podcast rico@sourcefindasia.com &nbsp; FINAL THOUGHTS Super interesting episode with Rico Ngoma. I previously understood some of the intricacies of drop shipping, but Rico really helped me to realize that what is the most important part of the process is having a company that speaks your language, that you can trust to get the job done, and having someone in your corner!

Jeff Haden author of The Motivation Myth spent over 20 years in manufacturing when he realized he really didn't love what he was doing. Over the next few years, he learned different skills to create a job for himself in the ghostwriting arena. Some may ask? What is ghostwriting? Why do people hire a ghostwriter? and where do you find a ghostwriter? &nbsp; What is Ghostwriting? Ghostwriting is when someone is hired to write literary or journalistic works, speeches, or other texts that are officially credited to another person as the author. Celebrities, executives, and political leaders often hire ghostwriters to draft or edit their autobiographies, memoirs, or a book they have an idea for. &nbsp; Why Do People Hire A Ghostwriter? In this interview with Jeff Haden, he explains it this way: You get an offer to write a weekly column on a certain subject, but you either don't have the time nor the talent, so you hire someone to write for you, and they sign your name to the work. Often someone is in a field with expertise that everyone wants to hear about. The problem is that you are a terrible writer, but a fantastic expert. You hire a ghostwriter to clean up and polish your idea. &nbsp; Where Do You Find A Ghostwriter? Jeff Haden and Mikkel Thorup talk opening about where do you find a ghostwriter? It's actually quite simple. Use sites like UpWork, Freelancer and BloggingPro, to name just a few. One of the key takeaways from Jeff Haden was to hire someone that has written before, been paid for it, and does it daily. Jeff has written 70 books as a ghostwriter...I'd say...hire Jeff Haden if you want a book that is professionally written. &nbsp; The Motivation Myth Jeff Haden's book, The Motivation Myth, overturns the beloved (but false) idea that motivation leads to success, instead, small successes lead to constant motivation - and let you achieve your biggest goals while also having more fun. In short, motivation isn’t something you get — motivation is something you create. Listen as Jeff and Mikkel go through several concepts in the book, The Motivation Myth. Jeff breaks down some of his controversial ideas and helps us to understand that what's been drilled into us since we first started in the workforce are actually false. &nbsp; What is a Serial Achiever Jeff Haden and Mikkel Thorup talk about how we CAN do more than 1 thing in life, and that we LOVE doing more than 1 thing. We spend our early adulthood pursuing a career that we believe we will stay at for the rest of our lives. After 15 years we decide to move on to something different. We go back to school, we learn everything that is required and then we pursue that career. That may happen several times in our life, and that's perfectly fine. In fact, in this Interview with Jeff Haden, he encourages people to add the word 'AND' to your elevator pitch. You don't have to be just one thing; you can be several; like a photographer AND a writer. That's part of life that gives us character and depth. &nbsp; Check out this podcast to hear about: What's the difference between a Coach and a Pro How to write a book in 1.5 weeks Learning to persevere and work hard is a SKILL! Leadership skills Coping Skills And so much more! &nbsp; In Ep 042: Matt Javit left his executive job to travel the world. You can be any age when you realize you want something different. Listen in to hear from Matt Javit. &nbsp; If you would love to hear from other authors, check these two episodes out! <a...

Edmund John From Flag Theory has embarked on a new platform and in this episode, Mikkel Thorup delves deep into what is KYC &amp; AML and how KYC Chain is using blockchain technology to solve problems they face. We then give an in-depth review of Flag Theory and explain what is Flag Theory. &nbsp; What is Flag Theory - A Review of Flag Theory Some of you may be asking 'what is Flag Theory'? Here is a review of Flag Theory. It was created about 50 years ago and it started with 5 flags: Passport Residency Company (Check Out Our Services On Offshore Company Formation) Bank Account Physical Assets Edmund John from Flag Theory has added 2 more: Digital Security Digital Assets (Additional Episodes With Cryptocurrency Founders) Listen in to the episode now as we review Flag Theory and how all 7 Flags work to give you more control over your life. &nbsp; What is KYC &amp; AML Edmund John From Flag Theory explains KYC: Know Your Customer &amp; AML: Anti Money Laundering. For decades there has been an issue with collecting personal data and how it is stored, and most important: can it be hacked. Often times as Expats we need KYC &amp; AML for a host of different reasons, including; sending funds abroad, buying real estate or investments and getting residency or second citizenship in a new country. If a person with malicious intent intercepts this KYC &amp; AML pack and it contains your passport copy, utility bills, birth record, SIN or Personal Identity Number, bank account details and a host of other things they really can take control of your life... &nbsp; How KYC Chain Is Using Blockchain Technology To Solve Problems Edmund John from Flag Theory talks about Selfkey, A Self-Sovereign Identity system that empowers individuals to find more Freedom and Privacy through the full ownership of their digital identity. And Edmund John from Flag Theory founded KYC Chain a blockchain based technology that is solving problems (explained above) by securing your sensitive data, removing redundancies making for a more user-friendly and secure environment. To learn more, you'll want to listen to the entire episode! &nbsp; Covered in this episode with Edmund John from Flag Theory: Visa-Free Travel Strong passports Cryptocurrency Review of Flag Theory Expat Communities &nbsp; Where to reach Edmund John from Flag Theory www.flagtheory.com www.selfkey.org &nbsp; Final Thoughts Super interesting conversation with Edmund John from Flag Theory. We broke down, what is Flag Theory?

Sam McRoberts, with family in tow, left behind his home country of USA to travel the world and unschool his 7-year-old son.  We talk in depth about how to internationalize your life, how to protect your wealth and most importantly, how to protect your family. &nbsp; About Sam McRoberts Sam McRoberts is the successful CEO of VUDU Marketing, where he consults with medium to large size companies and influencers on SEO. They audit websites, figuring out what's right and wrong, what needs to be fixed to increase organic traffic and helping people put together strategies so they know what to do to dominate their space. As Sam McRoberts and his family travel the world, the most important thing he requires is a good internet connection, and from there, he can run his company. VUDU Marketing is his bread &amp; butter, but that's not the only company Sam operates. Sam realized in the beginning; when he was trying to learn SEO; that no one taught it, so that became his mission, to teach other people how to get the job done easily. Sam walks us through what that looks like and how SEO works. Screw the Zoo, Sam McRoberts book is another way he has helped to monetize his adventurous travel. Listen as everything is woven together to make life as an expat easier and for more fun! &nbsp; How To Internationalize Your Life We then delve into how to internationalize your life. Besides education, how to internationalize your life is the biggest topic we discuss here on our podcast. More and more people are compelled to learn how this is done, and how easy it can be if you follow some simple rules and talk to people that know what needs to be done before you leave your home country. We've realized that to pay big corporate taxes is just not necessary anymore.  If you are traveling the world, why do you have to pay for the roads to be fixed and for schools in a neighbourhood that you no longer live in? &nbsp; How To Protect Your Wealth Once you've learned how to internationalize your life, it's time to learn how to protect your wealth. You're making big bucks so you need to protect your wealth. We chat quite a bit about this topic, because if you live in the USA or Canada, the taxes are outrageous and what's left can be a lot less than if you know how to internationalize your life and then protect your family. &nbsp; How To Protect Your Family Sam McRoberts and Mikkel Thorup both love their family. Family first! Do you know how to protect your family? Are you interested in learning how to protect your family, and how to internationalize your life, then this episode is a must listen to. &nbsp; What is Unschooling Have you been wondering what is unschooling? Sam McRoberts gives his definition of homeschooling compared to unschooling and it's right on the money. Mikkel and Sam spend at least 1/3 of the episode delving into education, what's wrong with our current system and answering the question, what is unschooling?

Oren Klaff is the author of Pitch Anything, which has sold well over 1,000,000 copies and he has trained over 80,000 people using the Oren Klaff Pitch Anything Method. Oren has raised over 2 Billion in Capital, so who better to learn from when you have an idea to pitch or you want to know how to raise capital. Why would you go in alone? Doesn't make any sense. Oren Klaff recounts how he would pitch, well, anything! Oren Klaff tells us that techniques like the Pitch Anything Method come about from pain, misery, frustration, confusion, alcohol consumption, moving to the desert, living in a trailer living with a 3 legged dog and saying 'Where did I go wrong' hahaha...but I totally understand. If the systems you've been working with so far; the conventional systems we've all been taught on how to pitch a deal or to stand in front of a CEO and ask for money; are not working, then systems and techniques need to be created out of necessity. &nbsp; Starting a Business Overseas Oren Klaff talks directly to our audience, the Location Independent Entrepreneur. What is that you need to know? How a deal you want to pitch can ultimately work and how to raise capital. We all know there are international business opportunities and that starting a business overseas, with these techniques created by Oren Klaff and Pitch Anything, you are more likely to succeed. &nbsp; What do you need to know first? Frame Control It's important to understand what Frame Control is: The Ability to see the world in terms of frames. And a frame is just someone's perspective (there is Mikkels favourite word again) on how they see things. &nbsp; Time Frame We talk about how to make the deal more likely to happen. A Timeframe is directly related to frame control. Listen in to this episode. Oren Klaff and Mikkel Thorup talk in great length about frame control and time frame and if you don't have this down right, your chances of bringing in that big deal or raising capital are very slim. &nbsp; Ideas &amp; Concepts We Talk About Why people will do a deal with you and why they won't Is rapport important How can you raise your status to that of a peer and why this technique is so important How to NOT fall into the Beta trap International Business Opportunities Wolves??? &nbsp; 3 Major Takeaways People want what they can't have People chase that which moves away from them and People only value that which they pay for &nbsp; How can I reach Oren Klaff?

Mike told me that there are over 300 members certified worldwide in Profit First Accounting and they are working hand in hand with Entrepreneurs. If you are looking for a fantastic tax accounting agency, directly dealing with American Expats, listen to Mikkel's interview with EP 032: David McKeegan, it's awesome!

Listen to the episode and you'll learn this most valuable lesson. &nbsp; Do you Have a Healthy Business? Can you change your mindset to take Profit First? Is your company a powerhouse in your industry? How can I tell if I have a healthy business? Mike helps us to understand these concepts in the books he has authored. &nbsp; Topics we Discuss in Detail It's not how much you make! It's how much you take! Cash equity - What is that? Okay, now that I have some Profit Built-up, now what? Can you take a 4-week vacation and not have your business fall apart? &nbsp; Clockwork: Design Your Business to Run Itself I really wanted to discuss Mike Michalowicz's Clockwork Book. Q: What does Oxygen have to do with Sales? Find out more! The Clockwork Book teaches us how to design our business to run itself and how to remove the business owner from the business so it can survive on its own. Does that appeal to you? It did to me! &nbsp; Mike Michalowicz Books Clockwork: Design Your Business to Run Itself The Pumpkin Plan: A Simple Strategy to Grow a Remarkable Business in Any Field Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine.

In this Interview with Zak Slayback, we talk about how important being coachable is and that it's not so much about what he can add to your business structure, rather what he can take away so that you land your dream job while teaching you the proper skills of writing the perfect email and how to create your attractive character. Zak Slayback was the perfect student. He got great grades, got into an Ivy League College but didn't know what he wanted to do. Do you find yourself here too? Maybe you're in University or College, maybe you never went and are out working somewhere that you hate and don't really know how to get out of that rut. &nbsp; Writing Proper Emails Listen in to this episode as Zak Slayback takes us through the many steps that are required to find the job that you want and how to write proper emails so that the correct person will take the time to read your resume. Have you ever sat down and tried to write the perfect email? and when you thought you had it nailed, you sent it out and no one replied? Zak lets us in on some secrets of making sure your email gets to the right person and they get read. If you can conquer these two items, your chances of getting hired go way up! &nbsp; Zak Slayback on Creating Your Dream Job Career Expert What does a Career Expert do you might ask. Zak Slayback really goes into detail on who he feels is qualified to work with him. Not everyone is a good fit, and there are so many people out in the field of self-development and working with young entrepreneurs that you really have to find that perfect fit.  Zak tells me that he doesn't do LIFE COACH STUFF! AT the end of the day Zak is a communicator, sales, and career expert. &nbsp; Listen in as Zak &amp; Mikkel discuss The Trust Factor Attractive Character Call to Action (CTA) An Incentive Map The Big 5 Copywriting voices (which one are you?) &nbsp; Zak Slayback on Education 37 episodes of The Expat Money Show and time and time again we talk about education. Without realizing it, almost 1/2 of our guests have some form of opinion on what has happened in the world regarding education. In Ep 004: Clara Day Herrera talks about her daughter and the education system in the Philippines. Zak Slayback talks about the USA and here is a direct quote: &nbsp; 'School should have taught you how to succeed at work and build a great career. Instead, it taught you that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Thankfully, I teach what school never taught' &nbsp; I love it because it's true. If you listened to Ep 034: Michelle Dale she'll tell you the same thing. Life is about doing, getting out there and learning the skills required to be a professional. Attending College or University doesn't always give you the skills to make sure you know what you're doing once you've received that diploma. Zak Slayback realized this a long time ago and has built a system to help those that are stuck in a job they hate. &nbsp; Short Cuts to Success Have you ever wondered if there really is such a thing as a shortcut to success? People talk about it, but does it really exist? Yes, Virginia, it does exist! Zak goes into detail about the methods he uses, you can shortcut success ethically and morally! &nbsp; We've had many wonderful guests on our show that let you in on the secrets of success. Like in  Ep 020: Mindy Stern - What learning from the best coaches can do for you, today we have Zak Slayback on helping ambitious...

In this Interview with Jim Rogers, I get updated opinions on everything from North Korea and China to the Mandarin language and the current state of education around the world. Jim Rogers tells me what he is teaching his own children and where he as an investor is putting his own money today.&nbsp;Jim Rogers is a world-renowned investor, famously known for his co-founding of the Quantum Fund.&nbsp;He has frequently appeared on CNBC, Fox Business and Bloomberg. He is a multiple best selling author and has multiple Guinness world records for his around the world trips visiting nearly every country on the planet. (listen in to hear which countries he has yet to visit!)&nbsp;Jim Rogers Talks about his Current thoughts on EducationOn this episode of The Expat Money Show,&nbsp;Jim Rogers and Mikkel Thorup talk in depth about education, specifically about their children and what kind of education they believe will propel them forward in this new and most difficult time.Jim writes in one of his earlier books why moving to China or another Asian country is such a vital move for parents.&nbsp;If you really want to give your children an unfair advantage, the education system in Singapore or China is rigorous and difficult, unlike schools in the USA.&nbsp;As with many of the guests, education is such an important topic. To hear from another multimillionaire entrepreneur on&nbsp;education&nbsp;listen to this fantastic interview with Jim Cockrum.&nbsp;Jim Rogers spent most of his adult life not wanting children. He believed children were a horrible waste of time, energy, money and everything else, feeling sorry for people who had children, so he was not ever going to do it. Jim now believes everyone should have children and that he was just wrong for not having them earlier in his life.&nbsp;In 2002, arriving back home in NYC after completing his third Guinness World Record being on the road for 3 years, covering more than 245,000 kilometres in a one-of-a-kind Mercedes-Benz taking them to six continents and 116 countries, they decided to have children.&nbsp;Jim Rogers claims this was the best decision of his life. His two girls are now the center of his universe, in fact,&nbsp;his 2009:&nbsp;A Gift to My Children book was written for his daughters. Listen in to hear about why he wrote this most special gift to his children.&nbsp;This may spark some creativity in yourself for your children to follow!&nbsp;Jim Rogers Opinion on MandarinMikkel and Jim discuss in lengths about what they believe the most important languages their children should speak.

Ben Hammersley is a futurist, but that's not how he started his career some 20 years ago. Similar to so many of us, his career path has evolved into something he absolutely loves as he helps companies and individuals create a more productive and effective workspace. &nbsp; Let's start with the obvious..what is a Futurist? and why is it so important in our daily lives and in our businesses? &nbsp; FUTURIST 'a person who studies the future and makes predictions about it based on current trends' &nbsp; Today on the Expat Money Show Ben Hammersley and Mikkel Thorup discuss what a futurist might do for Big Corporate America who thinks they're ready to implement artificial intelligence and how you yourself can change your life radically using concepts that Ben will teach you. Ben describes what most companies want for the future. They see their business as moving forward and being innovative and being companies of the future. But in reality, they are still using fax machines, their staff don't know how to use the systems that are currently in place properly, and in most cases, the systems they do have in place are old and antiquated. So wanting to move into the future really takes going back into the past and moving them into the present. If you work for a company that this sounds familiar, or you own a company and see yourself here, then this is the episode for you. &nbsp; FUTURISM Futurism is a fascinating topic and I believe that most of you will really love this episode. When it's time to implement changes in your life. Ask yourself these two questions first: What problem am I solving by doing this action (the why?) If I was to be solving this problem today, but I was doing it for the 1st time and I was using modern tools how would I do it? Imagine that you change 2-3 things a month in your life. That's 36 things a year! WOW! Year after year, implementing new strategies that help to bring you up today and into the future. Ben is hired by large companies and governments to talk about using AI and to bring them into the future. After he stops rolling his eyes, he tells them they can't use AI, you can't even use 'Outlook' properly! &nbsp; ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Mikkel gets Ben to reveal what are the biggest companies that have welcomed AI and innovating in a way that will take them into the future seamlessly. I'm sure none of you will be surprised! And who are the companies that have refused to move forward? Again, no surprises! &nbsp; IN A NUTSHELL  What an interesting chat Ben and I had. I thought for sure we were going to talk about artificial intelligence and the big monolithic theory, when in fact we talked about the micro changes that can be made in our everyday lives and in our business. &nbsp; BEN'S WORDS TO LIVE BY: Pay attention to what's happening day to day and be responsible for your life! &nbsp; HOW CAN WE REACH BEN HAMMERSLEY: www.benhammersley.com Twitter @BenHammersley Ben@BenHammersley.com &nbsp; WHAT BEN WANTS YOU TO KNOW ABOUT HIMSELF! I'm 6'6 with a handlebar mustache and full of tattoos. So if you see someone that's 6'6 with a handlebar mustache full of tattoos, it's likely me so come up and say hi! &nbsp; FINAL THOUGHTS Every week on The Expat Money Show I aim to bring in the best Entrepreneurs from around the globe who are doing some really incredible things. Ben is such an amazing guy, his life's work...

Michelle Dale is the creator of Virtual Miss Friday, an online Virtual Assistants company that helps entrepreneurs realize their dreams starting with what Michelle would say is the most important aspect of a successful business: Mindset. Michelle equates working on mindset and being an entrepreneur as one in the same. &nbsp; Specializing in digital product sales and working with 6 and 7 figure earners, Michelle has spent a considerable amount of time crafting her trade and loves working with the location independent contractors by helping them scale up using virtual assistants in smart and creative ways. &nbsp; Today on the Expat Money Show Michelle Dale and Mikkel Thorup walk down the path of what it takes to be a successful location independent entrepreneur. What are the steps that need to happen, how do they happen and why? And specifically why mindset is the key to all success! &nbsp; GOING IT ALONE! Listen in to hear what Michelle Dale does with clients to get them ready for their online success. She understands that it can't be done alone, and why would you want to do it alone? &nbsp; This theme seems to come up time and time again. Don't go it alone. Get help from the professionals that do the job you don't want to do, like Facebook ads, YouTube, SEO, Marketing, whatever that job is there is someone out there that usually does it better than you. &nbsp; Maybe you are wondering where on earth would I find support staff that is knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy, and willing to work for me for a decent wage? Look no further! Michelle lets us in on the secrets of hiring a top-notch freelancer! &nbsp; BUSINESS MODEL The virtual assistants business model is brilliant. If you are tired of trying to create an online digital marketing company, or are tired of living in your country of birth and want that amazing life as an expat entrepreneur, don't miss this episode. &nbsp; WHAT LIFE IS LIKE BEING AN EXPAT ENTREPRENEUR Mikkel Thorup and Michelle Dale talk about being expat entrepreneurs and how similar their paths have been and how they got to be where there are today using the skills they have learned along the way. They both credit their success to being creative and thinking outside the box, and how they chose not to follow the conventional rules of education. &nbsp; Michelle is a native Brit but left when she was 24 to pursue her dream of travelling the globe. We talk in depth about what it took for her to leave her home in the UK, to pack her bags and make that crucial decision to not buy a return ticket home, to make her crazy idea of living and working outside her country of birth a reality. &nbsp; INSPIRATIONAL STORIES Michelle tells us stories of her families travels, the places they have lived and worked and the excitement. When her family decides it's time to move and start a new chapter in their lives, one filled with excitement and passion, people ask her how her children feel about selling everything they own other than a few suitcases of their personal effects and set out for the unknown. &nbsp; Most of you would be surprised to hear that it is her children, all 3 of them, that get the urge to leave their home and travel and make a new home for themselves somewhere new. They love the travel, the food, the culture just as much as Michelle and her husband do! &nbsp; That was so inspiring to hear. We always worry about how our children will be affected by the changes we make in our lives, but time and time again we hear the same stories, about how resilient our children are, and how they love the adventure and learning about a new country. They love learning by being immersed in the culture and they are happy and well adjusted. &nbsp;

Many just want to travel, but a lot of our listeners will attest to this, they find their home country is heavily taxing them and their freedom could be in jeopardy. &nbsp; LIVING OUTSIDE YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH Many Americans have figured out they can live somewhere else and not in the USA.

James Ellsmoor is a Social Entrepreneur with expertise in renewable energy, sustainable innovation and entrepreneurship in rural, remote and island regions. He has experience living, working and travelling in over 40 countries. James lives a fascinating life helping Small Islands Developing States (SIDS). There are about 50 different jurisdictions around the globe. James has found that entrepreneurship in these countries is strong and it’s what drives these small nations. Take a look at Jamaica and the impact this small country has had on North America. Their music, their food, their athletes. As a Canadian, and we love our Reggae music, our curry goat and Jamaican patties and Red Stripe beer! What’s really impressive is that James is a Forbes 30 under 30 winner and top 100 most powerful young entrepreneurs under 25. This guy is smart and creative. And for an entrepreneur that’s the winning ticket!! As most of you know, I love to travel. I love to experience what the locals experience and chatting with James really got me interested in so many places that I have never had the pleasure of visiting, and now are on my list of countries to see . My reasons are very different than most, and James agrees, what he finds fascinating is also different. We dove deep into what renewable energy looks like. Is it the same for each area? Does Jamaica require the same as Samoa? Or Guyana? What do countries like this require to be self-sufficient, with their government, the infrastructure and food crops? &nbsp; SOLAR HEAD OF STATE James and his company, Solar Head of State, tried to put solar panels on the White House, which is how his company name came to be. James and his team work with countries to reduce their carbon footprint, teach them about renewable energy and sustainable energy. I’m just really happy that someone is working with these smaller nations. Their electricity costs are extremely high and their incomes are extremely low so let’s work on bringing them closer together. &nbsp; HOW DOES RENEWABLE ENERGY IMPACT AGRICULTURE? I truly believe that we all need to understand the impact of using renewable energy can make on the countries we visit. So many of these small nations Import 90% of their food because it’s cheaper to buy chickens from China than to grow them locally. So, in the end, these countries rely heavily on canned food even tho it’s a tropical paradise. It’s why 9 out of 10 countries that have an issue with obesity are Pacific island countries. Using renewable energy to power the machinery and the agricultural equipment is a step in the right direction to allowing these nations to not be as reliant on food imported from abroad. &nbsp; WHAT HAPPENS TO A SMALL NATION AFTER A NATURAL DISASTER Our conversation about Puerto Rico was fascinating. After the hurricane in 2017, the island was devastated and literally had to shut down. I know they rely heavily on tourism, with dozens of cruise ships docking every day, and the US came to the rescue. Millions of dollars were spent to get the country back up and running. Interestingly, they had to rebuild new electricity grids and they started to use sustainable energy and renewable energy, and how smart is that. If we, North Americans, had to rebuild our grids, we just wouldn’t build them the same way, we would use far more renewable energy. James and I talk about how people are leaving, 500,000 of them since the hurricane to live in Florida, which has left a huge gap in the real estate market for anyone to walk into, especially if you are an American, and buy property at a reduced rate. &nbsp; In a Nutshell How important is renewable energy to these small island nations, and for all of us for that matter What are smart grids? How can we use new technology? New style greenhouses...

Greg Rollet is a fast-talking, energized, crazy video marketing genius, who is an Emmy Award-Winning Producer, Best Selling Author and Marketing Expert who works with the likes of Brian Tracy, Michael Gerber and Coca-Cola. Who better to learn about Video Marketing than from an expert TV producer that has created ‘Ambitious Life’ a weekly show on air for 98 consecutive weeks, and ‘Ambitious Adventures’ which was just picked up by ‘Entrepreneur and Amazon Prime’, very impressive! Maybe you’re wondering if video marketing is for you and your company, I wondered the same. After my hour with Greg, I better understood how and why videos work and most importantly, how to repurpose my videos. And why it’s just not good enough to produce ONE video and leave it at that. &nbsp; HOW DO I CREATE A VIDEO? Greg and I talk about the iPhone and is it good enough to use to make a 5 or 6-minute video. He tells us ‘It’s fine, just get started’ When you have a little experience and some confidence add a couple of hundred dollars to amplify your iPhone so that the lighting is great, (no shadows), the sound is crisp and clear, (no humming) and the picture is clear! One of the other tips from Greg was to use a 2nd camera, for many reasons like editing. It just works better! But here’s the truth, it doesn’t HAVE to be video, but if you have taken a great video there are so many ways you can use that video and repurpose the content. &nbsp; 3 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS FOR VIDEO MARKETING Start with a 5-6 minute Video Be consistent - don’t do 1 video and leave it at that. If you want success, true success keeps the content coming every week. And don’t over-commit. If you’re just starting out, don’t say you’re going to create a video every day, you’ll get burnt out. Solve your clients' problem (pain point) &nbsp; NOW WHAT DO I DO? HOW TO REPURPOSE YOUR VIDEO MARKETING Greg really delves in deep with every way you can repurpose the content, and it’s crazy! Ways I never even thought about. He starts with a 5-6 minute video, and here are just a few tips from Greg on how to repurpose that video: Break down the video into bite-size snackable pieces Use it for YouTube, FB, Twitter (listen carefully how this is done) Strip it down and use as a podcast Have it transcribed so you can use it ... As a blog,(or many blogs) Broken down as a guest blog Use little snippets and have quotes designed (Greg talks about how he does this) And more…..so much more! &nbsp; What was really cool about having a video marketing expert on The Expat Money Show, was that everything Greg talked about I could use to grow my business. I gotta tell you, my guests here on the podcast are brought here for me, as much as they are for you, my listeners. I know that to grow my business, to create likeability, for you to trust me, all of Greg’s tips are super important. I’m pretty sure for most of my listeners, you will be stopping and starting this episode because it has heaps of value for those just starting out in business to those with years of experience. Greg and I chat about not stopping just because you only got 30 views on YouTube with your video. Take a look at all of the other platforms. Where did you rock it? What kind of content can you pull out and use better for that platform? Greg shares what his best platform is and how he has super-sized it to make a killing! When you’re listening, take note of what’s new in the world of video marketing. What new platform can you use to take your business to the next level? Greg uses this line, which I totally...

Today’s guest on The Expat Money Show is Jim Cockrum. Jim was ranked among the most trusted Internet Marketers in the world, his best selling book “The Silent Sales Machine” has been read by an estimated 800,000 people around the globe. Jim is a constant top 10 seller on Amazon, and along with his two closest partners (Nathan Bailey &amp; Brett Bartlett), run a combined $25 million annual sales empire. You can join Jim's Facebook group of 48,000 members, where they are always creating engaging content not just about Amazon selling but about internet marketing as a whole. When I heard Jim was going to be on our show I was ecstatic! Jim is such a well-known influencer in the world of Internet Marketing and has such a reputation for creating engaging content I knew our audience would go crazy to hear him. What I found fascinating was that you would think a guy making heaps of money, having over 150 staff, and being in the business for almost 2 decades would have a pretty high opinion of himself, but nothing could be farther from the truth. I’ve got to say that Jim Cockrum has to be one of the nicest, most down to earth guy I’ve ever met. &nbsp; How creating engaging content on Facebook is driving his Amazon business Jim and I dig deep into what it takes to dominate the market with Amazon. We discuss his tactics with Facebook and how their teams' creativity is unparalleled and how they are selling millions of dollars worth of Toys! We talk about how creating engaging content with something as simple as your mobile phone is beating out the monster brands like Mateel in the toys department. And how they have been able to get tens of millions of organic views of their products on Facebook. &nbsp; In a Nutshell Learn what three concepts are needed to totally rock as a human being Take away solutions for life Top books as suggested reading What Jim looks for when hiring a new employee How important is getting your MBA? (his answer for this is hilarious) What does a CEO of over 150 employees and $25 Million a year do? How DO you create an 8 figure product line on Amazon? &nbsp; Hot Topics for 2018 As a lot of our interviews go on The Expat Money Show, we start our conversation talking about family, schooling, and education. For those of you that know me well I am opposed to traditional education. I believe there is a better way to learn. Interestingly enough many of my guests have the same beliefs and even some, like Jim Cockrum, have opted to homeschool his children (all 5 of them). &nbsp; Why Traditional Education is Failing Jim and I discuss why it is so vitally important for the future of our children to not rely on others to teach them. That we just can’t sit back and expect the current social schooling system to teach our children the fundamentals for being a successful human being. That we need to show our children, day in and day out how to be the best. How to accomplish their goals, and not to have the expectation that they will be able to read a book and then understand it. That we need to be interactive with our children. Jim shares how is 8-year-old son would never ‘expect’ his mom and dad to just pay for something. He reaches inside and figures out a way that he can create a business that will ultimately fund his desires! Wow! If that isn’t motivation for becoming an entrepreneur I don’t know what is. &nbsp; Life Learning Just Never Stops What we learn from Jim is how to be a...

Today’s guest on The Expat Money Show is Nydia Monarrez. She is a top-rated Voice Over Talent, International Speaker, Hispanic Marketer and Business Consultant. Nydia has worked with the likes of McDonald's, Toyota and Walt Disney. She is focused on helping you to get your business ready to dominate in the Hispanic market. In this episode, we talk in detail about why it is so vitally important to market to the Latinos inside the USA from Mexico, Columbia, Chili and other Latin American Countries. Nydia Monarrez goes into detail about how you can get your company ready for this booming market. Early on, Nydia quickly realized that the interpreters that had been hired to translate from English to Spanish for the major companies in the USA were missing out on the most important aspect of the translation, the culture of the Latin American people. They had never grasped what it meant to be a Latino and couldn’t understand why they couldn’t dominate in the Hispanic market. This is a market that grew roughly 50% from 2010 to 2015 and they lost such a massive opportunity. Nydia goes deep and really explains what the hot buttons for the Hispanic people are and how you can incorporate these hot buttons into your marketing (these are gold, don't miss these). &nbsp; WE TALK ABOUT HISPANIC MARKETING SOLUTIONS! As Nydia says, "We came and we’re not leaving." Born and raised in Mexico, Nydia understands fully what it takes to market to this powerful growing market. She takes her clientele to the next level of marketing and tapping into the 1.5 Trillion $$ buying power. You heard me, 1.5 Trillion USD buying power!! &nbsp; I ASKED NYDIA ‘HOW DOES A BUSINESS KNOW IF THEY ARE RIGHT FOR THE HISPANIC MARKET? Chiropractors, Doctors, Dentists Information Products/Webinars/Books/Educational Products Physical Stores, Grocery Stores Are all perfect fits Nydia tells me, It doesn’t matter the type of business you are in. We shop for everything, and everywhere and we prefer to buy from someone that understands our needs and takes the time to speak to us in our native language. So to really make a killing for your company you must start paying attention and learn the how’s and why’s to dominate in the Hispanic market. &nbsp; WHERE YOU CAN FIND NYDIA MONARREZ: Website: https://www.NydiaMonarrez.com/hispanic-market-strategies/ Email: NydiaMonarrez@NydiaMonarrez.com &nbsp; FINAL THOUGHTS On The Expat Money Show, I aim to bring in the best Entrepreneurs from around the globe who are doing some really incredible things. It was an amazing and exciting experience to chat with Nydia and I found the idea of how to get your business ready to dominate in the Hispanic market fascinating.

Akbar Sheikh helps Entrepreneurs to ethically scale their businesses to 7-figures immediately. In this episode of The Expat Money Show, Mikkel Thorup and Akbar Sheikh discuss how getting your fundamentals correct first can make success automatic. Often times people over complicate things and miss the basics like health, wellness, diet, sleep, association, and others that we touch on in this episode. Akbar Sheikh talks about how he went from homeless to a top 1% earner in his industry by focusing on these exact fundamentals. &nbsp; You can learn more about Akbar Sheikh at https://akbarsheikh.com &nbsp; Mikkel Thorup &amp; Akbar Sheikh at FHL 2018 in Orlando, FL. &nbsp; The romantic notion of an entrepreneur working 24 hours a day 7 days a week, never sleeping, and hustle-hustle-grind-grind around the clock is not a sustainable approach. Akbar Sheikh recommends balance and he has some very strong opinions on how to get it. Make sure to listen to the complete episode to learn how these seemingly basic fundamentals can propel you and your business forward. &nbsp; Akbar Sheikh talks about the 7 ethical principles of persuasion In this interview Akbar Sheikh also shares some of his secrets on how he helps businesses to scale to 7 figures fast, using what he calls the 7 ethical principles of persuasion. He uses these principles to walk into an existing business and "fixes things up". He uses a great analogy of a house and how with the right modifications you too can scale your business to 7 figures. &nbsp; Final Thoughts on my Conversation with Akbar Sheikh I enjoyed this conversation with Akbar Sheikh immensely and was very fortunate to pry him away from his work while he was in Sydney Australia for a project. Akbar Sheikh is very obviously a sought-after coach and consultant and his time is very valuable, I hope that you take advantage of this interview and write down some killer notes on things you can modify in your own life to make successes automatic for you too.

Today's guest on The Expat Money Show is Erik Paquet, the Co-Founder of Abroaders.com and the Co-Host of Abroaders Podcast on iTunes. In this episode, we dig deep not only into the success mindset of an Entrepreneur living around the world but he explains exactly how all us Entrepreneurs can get free unlimited travel around the globe with some small tweaks to how we collect frequent flyer miles and how we use our credit cards. I don't know about you but 3 or 4 extra roundtrip tickets in business class anywhere in the world every year sounds pretty awesome to me! You can reach out to Erik Paquet at Abroaders.com &nbsp; Free Travel Using Frequent Flyer Miles - The Basics... You are going to get the majority of your points from the bank by using your credit card... not from actually flying The BEST points to collect for free travel using frequent flyer miles are called "Transferable Points" The WORST points to collect for free travel using frequent flyer miles are called "Fixed Rate Points" To get the most value out of your frequent flyer miles make sure you are spending them on flights... and sometimes hotel stays The worst way to use your frequent flyer miles is for online shopping of goods, often the price of say a coffee maker and a one-way business class seat can be the same amount of points even though the dollar amount could be thousands apart... &nbsp; Free Travel Using Frequent Flyer Miles - More Advanced... Using frequent flyer miles all you need to pay is the airport taxes... typically $50 to $200 a trip The government counts the use of frequent flyer miles as a "rebate" and not as income... so if you were to take $20,000 of free travel during the year it would not bump you to a higher tax bracket Making sure all your Facebook Ads and Google Ads you spend for your business are done through your credit card that is connected to your frequent flyer program Your Ad spend only needs to break even for you to get unlimited travel around the planet When signing up for a new credit card make sure you are getting a signing bonus of 50,000 + points for joining Purchasing a business or first-class ticket can be 5 to 10 times the cost using cash, but it is not 5 to 10 times the amount when paying using points. Make sure you check the difference and try upgrading your ticket &nbsp; Final Thoughts I don't want to spoil too much from this episode because you really need to listen to it yourself to understand the whole concept. You will also be able to laugh at how poorly I have used my points in the past LOL.

Today's guest on The Expat Money Show is the Host of Funnel Hacker Radio a Top-Ten Business Podcast and is the Chief Revenue and Business Development Officer at Clickfunnels. Dave Woodward joins us on the podcast to discuss what is a sales funnel and more importantly... why do you need one today. &nbsp; Free 14-Day Trial To learn more about Clickfunnels and sales funnels and to get your 14-Day free trial visit: https://ExpatMoneyShow.com/funnels &nbsp; Same of the big questions Dave Woodward answers for us about what is a sales funnel: Why do you need a Sales Funnel? How to develop a lead to a buyer as quickly as possible? Why will a regular website not cut it anymore? What are some of the most common mistakes new entrepreneurs make? What is the number one thing you can do TODAY to fix your website? &nbsp; In this episode, we discuss what is a sales funnel but we also talk at length about Clickfunnels, the most powerful funnel software on the planet. I have used this software extensively and loved how easy it was for me to navigate even though I know NOTHING about programming. I remember a couple of years ago when I started my online Travel Agency and I didn't have access to a product like Clickfunnels I had to hire a programmer to do everything from scratch for my website. Without a lie it cost me over $30,000 USD to build and took more than 4 months... yes it is a beautiful website, but today I would be able to do the same thing in a fraction of the time and for tens of thousands of dollars less. &nbsp; Who uses this software? The list of successful Entrepreneurs who use Clickfunnels software is staggering, including Akbar Skeik, Trey Lewellen, John Lee Dumas, and about 56,000 other Entrepreneurs from around the world. Even Robert Kiyosaki and Dan Kennedy wrote the forwards to the books Expert Secrets and DotCom Secrets. &nbsp; Finial Thoughts I could just write out in a couple of sentences technically what is a sales funnel but that will not explain the complete picture. That's why I would suggest you listen to this complete episode of The Expat Money Show and then claim your free 14-Day Trial of Clickfunnels here. Take the 14-Days free trial... take the free training... beat the hell out of the software! Learn everything you can about it and discover how easy and powerful it is... then make the decision if it is right for you or not. That will actually answer your question of what is a sales funnel, and more important than knowing what is a sales funnel you will understand how to use it to take your ideas and turn them into an additional stream of income, which at the end of the day is what I am always trying to help you to do on The Expat Money Show. &nbsp;

Earlier in the year I was a guest on Trish Leto's Show - The Expert Connection - and I had such a good experience I thought it would be fun to ask Trish onto The Expat Money Show to talk about her experiences as an expert with Facebook Live Videos, why businesses need to be doubling down on Facebook Live Videos and how you can really make your Facebook Live Videos shine. &nbsp; Why should you care about Facebook Live Videos? Engagement  Facebook Live Videos get 3x the engagement as traditional videos on other platforms Indisputable Proof  People can steal and repurpose your written content and put their name to it. But Facebook Live Videos are proof you actually know what you are talking about, you are an expert and you are original It's Free  Hate to say it, but it's hard to beat free... broadcasting live to thousands of people used to be reserved for the big media companies, but now doing Facebook Live Videos gives you the same power and it's not going to cost you thousands of dollars Get Feedback in Real-Time  You will know how people are receiving your content in realtime, your followers will be able to tell you if they are enjoying it or not and you can adjust by listening to them Native Content  By using the Facebook Live Videos feature you are using actual native content to Facebook, and you will organically drive more traffic to your Facebook business page &nbsp; Tips even if you are shy or are nervous on camera: You don't actually need to record yourself, feel free to do a screen share of what you are teaching and let the content be the visual Start by doing an interview based show (Similar to The Expat Money Show) and allow the interviewee to provide the majority of the content Invite a friend onto your Facebook Live Video and have a conversation And remember... even if you mess up, make mistakes say the wrong thing, whatever... it's okay... people are forgiving, Facebook Live Videos are not supposed to be perfect &nbsp; Here is a fabulous article from Facebook itself on how to use FB Live! Enjoy! &nbsp; Books we Discuss: Expert Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Finding Your Message, Building a Tribe, and Changing the World by Russell Brunson DotCom Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Growing Your Company Online by Russell Brunson Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen by Steve Sims Crushing It!: How Great Entrepreneurs Build Their Business and Influence - and How You Can, Too by Gary Vaynerchuk &nbsp; Coaches, Courses, and Consultants we discuss: Dale Hensel Grant Cardone Russel Brunson &nbsp; Where you can reach out to Trish Leto: Make sure to join Trish Leto's Private Facebook Group - Making it Rain with the Hustlers!

We are joined by Eyal Hertzog the Co-Founder of The Bancor Network a top 100 Cryptocurrency Token. In this interview, we talk in depth about not just Bancor and what it will do in the world but the future of money as a concept. We dive deep on the liquidity problems that face the landscape and why longtail products are so important. Eyal Hertzog makes some interesting points about user-generated content in the case of video and now with the possibility of user-generated money. When you understand the implications of this you can really understand why Cryptocurrency is changing the world and why it is here to stay. In the case of the Bancor Network when you remove the need for counterparty and third party people or organizations and keep Cryptocurrency as decentralized as possible it is incredibly interesting and important. &nbsp; You can learn more about the Bancor Network here: Website: https://about.bancor.network/ Telegram: https://t.me/bancor &nbsp; Highlights to understand about the Bancor Network No Spread - Low-cost conversions thanks to a non-profit automated market maker Continuous Liquidity - Convert any token at any time regardless of buyers and sellers or trade volume No Counterparty Risk - Buy and sell through smart contracts, no deposits, no exchanges No Registration Required - On-chain conversions directly from your web3 wallet Predictable Price Slippage - The Bancor Formula incorporates transaction size and needs no order book so prices are transparent Backwards Compatible - Any existing ERC20 token can integrate into the Bancor Network with no code changes or fees &nbsp; From the Bancor Networks Website: The Bancor Protocol is a new standard for cryptocurrencies called Smart Tokens™. They are autonomously and continuously convertible to other tokens in the network at algorithmically calculated rates. The protocol utilizes “connector” modules, which hold balances of other ERC20 tokens within a smart contract. The Bancor Formula constantly recalculates prices to maintain a balance between Smart Tokens and their connectors. &nbsp; Benefits The Bancor Protocol is a technical revolution allowing tokens to be converted without matching two parties with opposite wants. The magic is in the math. With a simple formula, balancing buys and sells so that every token in the network maintains a formulaic relationship to others. The result is continuous liquidity regardless of trade volume or exchange listings. &nbsp; Amazing Entrepreneurs I can see you are loving the space of cryptocurrency. Here is another great interview with Austin Kimm about Crypterium A Crypto Bank for Crypto People - How they are changing the landscape &nbsp; We have been fortunate enough to have several million-dollar entrepreneurs grace our podcast.

In this episode of The Expat Money Show, we do something a little different... I wanted to show how working together with a partner and being able to leverage each other's strengths can lead to success. We take a look at the creative side matched with the business side and how splitting roles allows you to focus on "That one thing" that really makes you shine. &nbsp; https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&amp;v=C-b4vDUoQf0 &nbsp; We are joined by James Richards and Tim Smith.

Michael Chiang joins us on The Expat Money Show to discuss app development. We break down 4 simple steps to building an app and why these steps could save you 6-12 months of wasted time and effort... Michael is an Entrepreneur based out of Manhatten, he specializing in app development in the pet space and is now moving into mobile games. Michael is the Co-Founder of FitBark.com, FitBark is a small, colourful device that you attach to your dog’s collar. It monitors activity levels, quality of sleep, distance travelled, calories burned, and overall health and behaviour 24/7. In the show, I refer to it as a Fitbit for dogs, but I quickly was able to see, it is a lot more than that. Fitbark is available in more than 125 countries worldwide. We discuss Michaels newest venture, JoyRide, it is a mobile game you play while taking an Uber. It is a 10 question trivia game that if won will pay for your entire Uber ride as a prize. Check out PlayJoyRide.com to learn more. You can find Michael Chiang at: Instagram: iAmMikeChiang Twitter: iAmMikeChiang &nbsp; 4 Key Steps To Building An App: 1. Share your idea with your trusted circle and even go outside your circle to get opinions. Sharing your idea will help you flush out the concepts and force you to articulate them to someone else. What is their response? Do they understand? Is your product needed in the marketplace? These are all questions that must be answered before moving on, and you are not able to be objective enough without asking others for feedback. 2. Build a team. The right team can make anything happen. You can start with your personal network, ask people you respect if they can recommend someone in this space. Trust is such a massive factor when starting a new project. Make sure your team understands your vision and help guide them to the outcome you want. 3. Create your Minimum Viable Product (MVP). You can build a rough MVP in a weekend that you will be able to take to market and test. Let people see it and feel what it is like to use it, even a very basic MVP can be extremely valuable in showing you if you have a product worth moving forward with or not. If it is not going to work, it is better to fail fast then waste 6 -12 months of your life on an idea that will never have wings. 4. Make sure you are bankrolled properly. Capital is extremely important in the early stages of developing your idea. Aim at 10-20k USD to properly roll out a decent MVP and test the market. If you need to pivot your idea to something new you will really need the extra funds. &nbsp; Topics On This Episode Of The Expat Money Show: Why pivoting an idea in a new direction can make you money The beginning of Augmented Reality apps (AR) Why 200k downloads in 4 days can still be considered a failure Looking for problems to fix can make you a good entrepreneur How having the mindset of an athlete can set you up for success in business Books we discuss: Malcolm Gladwell Outliers: The Story of Success The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference <a...

Mihkel Sepp is the creator of Time Book, an all in one Productivity Planner that I personally use and have had massive success with. In this Episode of The Expat Money Show, we tackle the difficult topic of how to be productive! You can find Mihkel Sepp at: Website: TimeBook.life (use promo code "expat" for 10% off your order) IG: timebook.life How to be Productive? Productivity is such an interesting topic in today's day and age, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an average American works 8.8 hours a day. But a study of 1,989 full-time office workers revealed that most people aren't working for most of the time they are on the clock. The most popular unproductive activities sited were: Reading news websites--1 hour, 5 minutes Checking social media--44 minutes Discussing non-work-related things with co-workers--40 minutes Searching for new jobs--26 minutes Taking smoke breaks--23 minutes Making calls to partners or friends--18 minutes Making hot drinks--17 minutes Texting or instant messaging--14 minutes Eating snacks--8 minutes Making food in office--7 minutes Other research shows that most people are not productive for more than 2.8 hours a day... looking at your own life where do you fit in? In this episode, we try to break down exactly how to be productive and talk extensively about some of the heroes in this space. &nbsp; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BtBKKd5lAY&amp;feature=youtu.be In This Episode We Discuss: What does productivity mean?

When I used to read random textbooks on economics a few years ago, economies of scale was not a topic I paid much attention to... In this interview with Tony Medina, we talk in-depth about why economies of scale are so important when looking at a business model and why your first instinct may be completely wrong... Tony Medina is the CEO of Seoul Guide Medical, a private company that manages top calibre plastic surgery hospitals in Seoul Korea as well as works with one of the best Dental Surgeons on the planet, Dr Chulmin Bae from Oaks Dental Clinic in Gangnam. In this Episode of The Expat Money Show, we discuss Tony's experiences as an Expat Entrepreneur for the last 10 plus years living in Seoul Korea. He shares a hilarious (and also scary) story of travelling to meet a previous high-level client in Kazakstan. &nbsp; Wikipedia Explains Economies of Scale as: "In microeconomics, economies of scale are the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation (typically measured by amount of output produced), with cost per unit of output decreasing with increasing scale. Economies of scale apply to a variety of organizational and business situations and at various levels, such as a business or manufacturing unit, plant or an entire enterprise." But that does not give us a very good understanding as Expats trying to create your own businesses or to increase our income. Tony Medina uses the example of why a country like Korea can move so much further ahead then somewhere like the USA in something like Cosmetic Surgery. Listen to the full Episode (above) to hear the full story. &nbsp; You can learn more about Tony Medina and his company at: Website: www.SeoulGuideMedical.com IG: seoulguidemedical &nbsp; In this episode we discuss: Why you should not get arrested in Kazakhstan Understand economies of scale How to solve a problem The number one skill every entrepreneur should focus on &nbsp; Books we discuss: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle The Gate to Women's Country by Sheri S. Tepper &nbsp; Coaches and Mentors: Grant Cardone &nbsp; Random Stuff from the Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-sfG8BV8wU &nbsp; Final Thoughts: This interview was really enjoyable for me. Tony Medina has been one of my closest friends for many years and we have travelled all over the planet together (not to mention the 60 some-odd times I have gone to Korea to visit him for work) and I can attest first hand to the success Tony has created for himself in a country completely different from where we grew up in and in a language that is not the easiest to learn. &nbsp;
