    122: How To Choose Your Route When Sailing Around The World – Jim & Judy Brown Mar 04, 2021

    Today’s guests on the Expat Money Show are Jim & Judy Brown, who own and operate a charter yacht called Dauntless. Whether it’s a week of R&R exploring idyllic locations, or an adventure-filled experience learning the ropes of a liveaboard yacht, they make sure each and every guest will have simply the best vacation ever. HE... is a Veteran Coast Guard Ocean Rescuer and a licensed U.S. coast guard captain, with 8 years of deep ocean experience. SHE... is the first mate and chef aboard Dauntless and the Italian in her loves to create mouth-watering meals for their guests onboard. After 4 years of cruising the Caribbean, they decided that a change of scenery was in order, so they will ship their yacht across the Atlantic Ocean and operate out of Italy and Croatia this summer and next. Together they have sailed over 8000 nautical miles and hosted close to 30 couples and families aboard their yacht.

    This episode is the 3rd in a 3 part mini-series for the expat that wants to leave their home country but doesn't want to move to another country. Sailing around the globe and visiting countries that have beautiful scenery, amazing food and warm sunny days might be your best option.

    If you haven't watched Part 1, it's with Nick Fabbri & Terysa Vanderloo from Sailing Ruby Rose, expats from the UK who talk to us about mindset, getting ready to purchase a boat, what to look for, and how much a new boat might cost you.

    Part 2 is How To Fund Your Sailing Adventure Around The World with Brady Trautman. on SV Delos.

    HERE’S WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN THIS INTERVIEW:

    • Jim had a great love affair with the water since he was a teenager, so it wasn't a far fetch for them to sell everything and buy a yacht. This is really a great story for those that have a planned retirement and wondering what else is there!!
    • Judy, loves to entertain. She learned to cook 20 years ago and day by day, just fell in love with the idea of cooking for others. Nowadays, she just waits for the 'WOW'...that's what makes her day.
    • Together, they have a beautiful yacht called 'Dauntless' and they charter couples around the globe. How have they done that so far? What do they enjoy most about sailing the Caribbean and visiting beautiful dive sites, eating local fresh organic foods? Most importantly, what do their guests think?
    • How has Covid affected their business? have they been able to sail the beautiful blue skies?
    • Where is their boat today? and where will it be later this year?
    • 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?
    • Not surprisingly, different countries have different rules for immigration, really no different than when you come by car or by air. You have to follow the rules and Jim and Judy know what is required at each port.
    • Great story about The Royal Family!!
    • Are you a Game of Thrones Fan? Dubrovnik is one of their new stops!
    • I loved talking about shipping their yacht from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, you will too!
    • And so much more!

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Jim & Judy. They have such an amazing life, sailing around the globe. Working with folks that want a unique experience of the islands and now countries in the Mediterranean. Not everyone wants to go by land, or fly into a destination and see the big cities. Here's an opportunity to see it like most never do...I'm seriously jealous of their lifestyle. I'm pretty sure I'll have to book Dauntless for a trip to Croatia. Enjoy listening to today's episode!


    121: How To Fund Your Sailing Adventure Around The World – Brady Trautman Feb 25, 2021

    Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Brady Trautman. He is an entrepreneur, filmmaker, and the co-founder of the YouTube channel SV Delos. Originally from Florida, he studied environmental engineering before making the transition to full time sailing. His skills in marketing, video editing and qualifications as a Divemaster, Dive Instructor and Rescue Diver have played a huge part in keeping Delos in the top echelon of YouTube sailing channels, all the while inspiring others to follow their dreams.

    This episode is the 2nd in a 3 part mini-series for the expat that wants to leave their home country but doesn't want to move to another country. Sailing around the globe and visiting countries that have beautiful scenery, amazing food and warm sunny days might be your best option.

    If you haven't watched Part 1, it's with Nick Fabbri & Terysa Vanderloo from Sailing Ruby Rose, expats from the UK who talk to us about mindset, getting ready to purchase a boat, what to look for, and how much a new boat might cost you.

    Part 3 will be with Jim & Judy Brown from Dauntless on how to plan a route and where to go. Great places that have easy access to land with plenty to see and do once you drop anchor.

    HERE’S WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN THIS INTERVIEW:

    • If your family and friends aren’t sailors, where does the interest come from? How do you end up sailing around the globe in your early twenties?
    • Brady Trautman talks to us about his first journey. Where they started and the islands they reached along the way. The beauty of the open water and sunshine day in and day out.
    • Co-founder of the number two sailing YouTube channel in the world SV Delos and how they have documented their sailing experiences around the world.
    • The question is ‘how do you possibly fund a lifestyle where you are months upon months on the open seas? If you had any money to start, how long does it take to go through it?’
    • Living and working in New Zealand and Australia, and how that happened.
    • Mikkel & Brady talk a lot about diving...they both have a huge passion for scuba diving and some of the crazy things they have done while on a dive.
    • What one thing, more than anything else, is important if you want to help crew a boat that will be a sea for many months. It’s probably not what you think?
    • After living for years in the South Pacific and the Caribbean where it is warm and hot every single day, they head up to Norway with their final destination of 80 degrees North, where it is cold and snowy, every single day.
    • How they documented and filmed a 4 part mini-series called 80NorthSeries.com and detailed the expedition of 8 sailors and filmmakers in the Arctic Circle. On this journey, the crew discover the very real effects of climate change and plastic pollution, witness some of the Arctics' rarest wildlife and learn the true power of Mother Nature.
    • They self-published using a pay what's fair model! Brilliant!

    And what are Brady and his partner Alex doing now?

    • They recently created the Cruiser Academy, teaching others how they too can quit the rat race and find their true passion on the ocean. The Cruiser Academy provides those with a thirst for adventure, the opportunity to learn how to sail, film and create a living on the water. With thousands of people turning to digital nomadism, this academy will be the inspiration many need to create a more meaningful life in 2021.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    What a great episode with Brady Trautman. Living a life that most dream about. This 3 part mini-series has really opened my eyes to what it would be like to live on the open waters, visiting countries from the port side, opposed to flying in and maybe never getting to the water. There are still 80 countries I have not been to, maybe this would be a way to see them all!


    120: How To Prepare To Sail Around The World - Nick & Terysa Feb 18, 2021

    Today’s guests on the Expat Money Show are Nick Fabbri & Terysa Vanderloo, expats from the UK, who have a truly amazing story that started way back in 2009. They live a life most only dream of. They sail around the world documenting as they go for all to see. In May 2015, they set off on their sailing adventure and in 2016 they created their YouTube channel ‘Sailing Ruby Rose’. Imagine this is your life for a year:

    Starting in Charleston, South Carolina, sailing down the USA East Coast, across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas, and then up to Bermuda. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean and making landfall in the Azores, before finally crossing to mainland Portugal, and then making your way into the Mediterranean Sea. Wow, sounds absolutely perfect.

    This episode is the 1st in a 3 part mini-series for the expat that wants to leave their home country but doesn't want to move to another country. Sailing around the globe and visiting countries that have beautiful scenery, amazing food and warm sunny days might be your best option.

    Part 2 will be with Brady Trautman from SV Delos on How to Fund sailing. You may be thinking what a great idea, sail around the globe, but I still need to work.

    Part 3 will be with Jim & Judy Brown from Sail Dauntless on how to plan a route and where to go. Great places that have easy access to land with plenty to see and do once you drop anchor.

    In today's episode with Nick & Terysa, we talk about mindset, getting ready to purchase a boat, what to look for, and how much a new boat might cost you.

    HERE’S WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN THIS INTERVIEW:

    • How did Nick and Terysa meet? What brought them together.
    • Who was the sailor, Nick or Terysa? And how did the one convince the other that sailing around the world would be a great idea?
    • If someone was interested in getting into sailing, what would they need to do?
    • If you’ve never sailed, Nick and Terysa explain what they believe is best for you.
    • Plus, if you’ve never sailed, how big of a boat would you buy? Is the old analogy, 'go big or go home' appropriate?
    • Can you just buy a new boat and start sailing? Or should you start slow and ease into it? How about classes?
    • Nick and Terysa talk about their 6-month adventure from the UK to the Canary Islands. Things that went wrong, and things that were perfect.
    • They also discuss other sailors who were also en route to the Canary Islands and how they did things totally differently.
    • We discuss their first boat purchase, how long they had it and why it was time to upgrade. Similarly, having their 2nd boat for 6 years, and why they chose to sell and buy a brand new Catamaran.
    • The benefits of a Catamaran opposed to other types of boats.
    • The 3 most important items to look for when searching out and buying a new boat.
    • What 4 obstacles must be addressed in order to move forward with buying a new boat.
    • What life looked like through this Coronavirus pandemic and how 2021 will fare for sailors around the globe.
    • We talk about their new Catamaran that they will take possession of by the end of 2021 and what’s in store for her.

    119: Your Kids Abroad – How Children Deal With An Expat Lifestyle – Jessica & Will Sueiro Feb 11, 2021

    Today’s guests on the Expat Money Show are Jessica & Will Sueiro. Since 2014 they have been travelling the world - one hometown at a time. Together with their free-spirited children, Avalon and Largo, the family have visited 70 countries in their quest to provide a global education for their children, while building a deeper bond as a family. Over the past six years, these ‘WorldTowners' have found themselves hiking 580 miles along the Camino Trail in Spain, motorhoming through every country in Europe, and, most recently, buying a sailboat in France to sail the world's oceans.

    The Sueiro family are currently located in the Mediterranean and will head west wherever the wind takes them, with the goal of circumnavigating the globe. Upbeat and ready for adventure, Jessica is a voracious dreamer and glass-is-half-full type of gal – even when the glass is shattered into 1,000 pieces and her super glue is dried up.

    WorldTowning is a company committed to helping individuals broaden their global experiences through concentrated and immersive exposures to the world’s cultures. Through coaching, group expeditions and the sharing of their travels on the family YouTube channel, the Sueiro’s have documented their entire journey, to show the magic (and realities) of full-time travel. Their mission is to help others understand that this lifestyle is a possibility, to all who dare to dream, just ask them how!

    HERE’S WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN THIS INTERVIEW:

    • It took them 7 years from the start of the idea of becoming full-time travellers to actually being on the road.
    • We talk a lot about what schools look like in other countries. How the children handled not being able to speak the native language and being on the playground and being able to fit in.
    • Living full time in Costa Rica, Ecuador and in France. What did that look like? Was it easy to make friends? Did you love it or hate it?
    • Avalon asking to be homeschooled and how well she is doing today. As a 16-year-old she has 2 online businesses. Find out what they are and how they came to be.
    • The Sueiros' have been travelling non-stop for 6 years. What are the kids like today? are they empathetic? kind, funny? what does moving from country to country do to a child?
    • Will & Jess talk about how they broke into the community! you won't believe it!
    • Mikkel & Jess talk about doing the 'hard things' in life.
    • Then what did they do?........
    • They rented a 21 1/2' motor home. Small yes..cozy, for sure. They travelled all through Europe, crazy to hear these stories.
    • What are they doing today? and if you've wanted to travel, leave your home country and see the world, this episode is a must for you. You'll love it!
    • After four months locked down on the dock in France, they finally get to take their sailing lessons. They will set sail for Greece (from France) on March 1st.

    Because most countries are still closed for tourism, and in some cases, citizens are unable to leave, as in France, their business, called 'Worldtowning' is launching their new adventures and trips for late 2021 and all of 2022 next month! Coronavirus has been so hard on world travellers, I know, we've not been able to leave Panama either.

    Their group trips are very different from other companies because every trip is led by their family of four.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    Well, as most of you know, I love talking about education. Worldschooling, homeschooling, unschooling... It's just so great to talk with like-minded people. What they, as a family have achieved is remarkable.

    If you want to experience a trip with them, I really urge you to view some of their YouTube videos, watch how they live their lives, it's truly amazing. Their lives have been profoundly changed by travel, mine too! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed chatting with Will & Jess.

This time around Brian asks the questions and I get to answer them.

    Have you wondered what I do, day to day in my position as Director with Escape Artist.com? I was honoured to be a guest on the Brian Nichols Show, who is part of the We Are Libertarians Network. Same network as my last guest, Remso Martinez with his podcast On The Run.

It's a tropical country, with warm weather all year round. Taxes are almost nonexistent, no standing military, lots of expats, lots of freedom (outside of covid), high standard of living, and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. These are just some of the reasons Panama might be a good option for you.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    I can see why Tariq loves working with 'Pre High Net Worth' individuals. A young 22-year-old comes to him for advice, and they can plan out his/her future to ensure they take all the right steps so when retirement is around the corner, they are prepared. And these pre-high net worth individuals come to him because their parents came to him first. The parents made sure their retirement was in place and they were able to say to their children, see, we listened to the advice given to us by Tariq, we believe you should do the same. Wow, I just love it!

    101: How To Build A Fortune With Precious Metals In 2020 - Brien Lundin Oct 08, 2020

    Today's guest on The Expat Money Show is Brien Lundin, President and CEO of Jefferson Financial and serves as publisher and editor of Gold Newsletter which has been the cornerstone of precious metals advisories since 1971. He is also the host of the annual New Orleans Investment Conference on October 14-17, 2020, the oldest and most respected investment event of its kind.

    Brien was lucky enough to learn from one of the pioneers in Gold & Precious metals, Jim Blanchard, who started “Gold Newsletter” back in 1971. Jim passed away in 1999, but not before teaching and training Brien everything he knew.

    Now, in 2020, Brien Lundin has become one of the most trusted persons regarding the Gold & Precious metals market.

    098: Sixty Home Swaps In 3 Years Of Non-Stop Travel With 4 Kids In Tow - Daniel Prince Sep 17, 2020

    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.

    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

    096: How To Be A Digital Nomad - Kristin Wilson Sep 03, 2020

    On todays 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 have 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.

    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

    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 mind 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 about 6-7 countries and specific cities that really attract like-minded people, so interesting.

    Lastly, Kristin Wilson walks us through the Visa process for entering and staying in countries around the world as a digital nomad.

    095: Top Political Operative Tells Americans to Escape - Carter Clews Aug 27, 2020

    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.

    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

    Final Thoughts

    Carter Clews and I have become really good friends this past year, and we're extremely lucky to have him as a contributing writer for our Escape Artist Insiders Magazine, so I was thrilled when he agreed to be on my podcast. This was a fun and informative hour-long chat about some really important topics: the US election, the Coronavirus and leaving the USA for good. Enjoy the podcast and I’ll see you next week when my guest will be Kristin Wilson talking about life as a digital nomad.


    094: Alternative Ways To Learn, Enter The Workforce And Educate Children - Isaac Morehouse Aug 13, 2020

    Today’s guest is dedicated to the relentless pursuit of freedom. He is the CEO of Crash, 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.

    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.

    How To Reach Isaac Morehouse

    www.isaacmorehouse.com

    You will find all the information on both Praxis and Crash and a little bit about the man himself!

    The hour with Isaac went by so fast, we really got to chat about so many great ideas. He's a really cool guy with some amazing perspectives on life and freedom. I encourage all of you to listen and share this podcast with your kids, friends, and your friend's kids. Really!


    093: Why Are People Leaving The USA – Travis Luther Aug 06, 2020

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    I really had fun with Travis doing this interview. I just love talking about travelling and he's done a ton himself, along with his family. We both agreed, travelling changes you. I've been to Mexico many times, and I just love it there. The weather is perfect, the food is amazing and Spanish is my second language, so that makes it a trifecta!!

    092: Why Gold In An International Portfolio Is More Important Than Ever Before - Rich Checkan Jul 20, 2020

    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, he is a contributing author to my Magazine, Escape Artist Insiders 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.

    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"

    How to Reach Rich Checkan

    If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Rich at 800-831-0007.

    Final Thoughts

    Wow is all I can say. 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 on our blog, EscapeArtist.com 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.


    091: The Wandering Investor Shares Insights From Around The World - Ladislas Maurice Jul 08, 2020

    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 & 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 & 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

    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.

    090: Finding Sovereignty On The High Seas - Chad Elwartowski Jul 01, 2020

    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

    This was a really interesting episode to record with Chad. When we met back in February and we said we would stay in touch, as we both live in Panama. With this lockdown due to the Coronavirus, the topic of Sovereignty kept coming up and SeaSteading is a great way to become Sovereign. As soon as the lockdown has been lifted, I'm going to take my family out to Linton Bay, and spend a few days relaxing on the beach, swimming in the sea and making new friends!

    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 Invest 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 Friendlyness

    • 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 would'nt believe it. So listen to this podcast to actually here 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.

    087: The Man Who May Have Inspired The Creation Of Bitcoin - Paul Rosenberg Mar 24, 2020

    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.

    The Beginning of Cryptography

    So one may ask, ‘it’s 1993, how the hect did Paul Rosenberg run into cryptography’? In this episode Paul explains how he did in fact fall into cryptography. How it all began and where it is now. And interestingly enough, did he actually inspire the creation of cryptocurrency way back then.

    Find out who his mentors were, where his ideas came from.

    Today, cryptography is used for everything. Mikkel and Paul Rosenberg talk about hash symbols and what they are? Where they started and how important they are.

    Today, it’s March 24th, 2020. We are in the thick of the Coronavirus. China has pulled itself out of the pandemic; however, Italy and the USA are right at the early stages. This interview was done last week, and it’s interesting to hear Paul talk about his thoughts one week ago and where we are today with the virus.

    Mikkel and Paul also discuss:

    • Hong Kong uprising
    • Brexit
    • Coronavirus
    • Trade War
    • Election Year

    And what do those things all have in common? This is truly an episode that you can’t miss and you won’t want to turn off and listen to until later.

    Libertarian

    Everyone knows Mikkel Thorup is a true blue Libertarian. Paul and Mikkel discuss why more and more people are opening their eyes and seeing the truth. Paul talks about the start of the government in the USA. What they originally had planned for their country, and what ended up happening as time went on.

    With all of these crises taking place at the same time, is there a meaning to all of this, and if so, what will the outcome be?

    Economic Side of Coronavirus

    We are all undoubtedly worried about the health side of the coronavirus, but most of us can’t even fathom the economic side of this Noro Virus. This virus is cunningly smart, unlike any other virus we have been plagued with. There is no cure, just concepts and ideas to lessen the effect if you come down with the virus.

    However, the economic side could be so much more devastating. I don’t think we truly understand how this will all play out in the end, as we don’t even know when the end will be. Most experts say that there will be no cure for about a year, we’ll see.

    Paul Rosenberg and Mikkel Thorup discuss their ideas and thoughts about the supply chain, the company’s being baled out, the small guy that will be forced to go to the government and ask for handouts and help paying their rent or mortgage.

    Time will tell.

    What Does The Future Hold

    Discuss amongst yourself: ‘Jurisdictional Arbitrage’ or ‘PT - Perpetual Traveller’. This is something that may be making it’s way back into our society.

    Will our society ‘break’ and if it does, what will our new society look like? These and so many great questions are asked and answered in this podcast.

    Also, I really encourage all of you to get Paul's book: Lodging of Wayfaring Men. It was written long before it was published, and I know you'll see things just a little differently after you're done.

    086: Is An E-Residency In Estonia Right For You? - Ott Vatter Mar 09, 2020

    Ott Vatter is the Managing Director of the first ‘governmental start-up’, e-Residency. He took up the mantle of MD in 2019, having previously held the position of Deputy Director. He was responsible for the scale-up of the e-Residency project through strategic partnerships and product development from 2015 to the present day.

    He has spoken at several high-profile events like the World Knowledge Forum in South Korea where he spoke alongside the President of Estonia, Kersti Kaljulaid, about how digital initiatives like e-Residency will pave the way for stronger economic and societal relations worldwide.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    How to Contact Ott Vatter

    Ott Vatter can be reached at https://e-resident.gov.ee/

    His email address is: Ott.Vatter@eas.ee

    And you can find him on Twitter and Instagram.

    Final Thoughts From Mikkel

    I was really intrigued by this interview I did with Ott Vatter. I had never heard of a country doing e-residency's like this and I just know that you will be amazed at how far this country, which was once part of the USSR, has come in the way of technology.

    085: Warren Black – International Tax Expert Champions For Sovereignty Dec 09, 2019

    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 & 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:

    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)

    My friend and mentor, Joel Nagel: EP 081 - Best Countries For Citizenship by Investment and Residency by Investment

    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. If you haven't had a chance to pop over to see where I'm stationed out of, go to Escape Artist and visit me there. Make sure to sign up for my newsletter, I know you'll get a ton of value from it.

    084: Mark Nestmann – Why Americans Shouldn’t Have Negative Views Towards Offshore Investing Jun 28, 2019

    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.

    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

    Tax Havens, yes or no

    The next question Mikkel Thorup & 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.

    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.

    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.

    Overseas Bank Accounts

    The discussion then turns to what unique entrepreneurial opportunities exist outside the US that isn’t available domestically.

    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?

    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?

    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.

    To set the record straight, when do you have to file a tax return as an American?

    Final Thoughts From Mikkel

    My interview with Mark Nestmann from the Nestmann Group was extremely educational. I’ve had several interviews that delve into the topics we discuss, like, why Americans have negative views towards offshore investing and overseas bank accounts. I always find it fascinating how different my guests are and how they explain what they know about these topics. I know you’ll find these topics very helpful in you are an American living overseas.

    1. English
    2. French
    3. Italian
    4. Spanish
    5. Portuguese
    6. Japanese
    7. Cantonese
    8. Arabic
    9. A Smattering of German and Thai (so these two Olly does not count in his eight languages)

    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 & 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!

    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.

    Limiting beliefs like:

    • It’s impossible to learn a second language at my age
    • No one can learn Mandarin if you are not Chinese
    • I don’t encourage my child to learn more than 1 language at a time because it will confuse them
    • I have a bad memory; therefore, I can never learn a second language

    Here’s the truth:

    • Anyone can learn a second language
    • Everyone with the right motivation and condition can learn Mandarin
    • Children can learn 5 or 6 languages at the same time and it will NEVER confuse them
    • A bad memory is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe you have a bad memory, then you do

    How To Learn A Second Language

    So the question is: How can I learn a foreign language? and Is Spanish easy to learn? or whatever language you want to learn.

    Olly Richards started his online teaching course called I Will Teach You A Language because he loved being around people and really wanted to communicate with all different nationalities. He realized quickly that learning through traditional books, cue cards, and teachers for 1 hour per week was just an inefficient way to learn a foreign language. No matter what language it was.

    What worked for Olly Richards was using stories. Stories have been around for more than 10,000 years. As early as the caveman and the pictures inscribed on the walls telling of their stories, to Egypt and the hieroglyphs, and the Bible and now with YouTube, it’s all about telling a story. What better way to learn than through story.

    Olly explains exactly how his courses work and why he can teach you the secrets to learning a foreign language quickly using an innovative story-based method that puts the fun back into learning. It’s truly fascinating and exciting.

    Mikkel specifically asks questions that pertain to his wife and mother, who don’t speak a word of Spanish and what courses does he recommend. For them, start at the beginning with Spanish Uncovered as your first course.

    For himself, Mikkel tells us that he, once upon a time, was fluent in Spanish. Today, 15 years later, he has not kept up with practicing his Spanish and really needs a refresher course. Olly then recommends Fluent Spanish Academy.

    Is Spanish easy to learn

    With the right motivation and the proper environment, Spanish is easy to learn. Or any other language you want.

    Here’s what Olly Richards suggests.

    Sign up for one of his online courses HERE.

    Follow the course, listen and read the stories. What better way to learn than having a printed story in front of you with the words. SEE WHAT YOU HEAR and HEAR WHAT YOU SEE!

    Then, most important of all, go out into the world and start practicing. Start speaking to other fluent Spanish speakers way before you think you are ready. Don’t wait until you think you’ve mastered the art of a foreign language, you’ll never be ready.

    With ongoing practice, you will be so much farther ahead. If you don’t live in a country that speaks the language you are attempting to learn, try iTalki. For as little as $7.00/USD per hour, you can chat with Tudor or higher depending on what you would like to accomplish. This is a great tool to really perfect your language skills.

    If you are living in a country that is not your primary language, venture out daily. Go to the market, the parks, wherever, and use the skills you have learned. People are patient and are very forgiving that you are at least trying. Day by day your skills will improve.

    • Start with I Will Teach You A Language
    • Then spend $100 on iTalki (get $10 free credit when you sign up with this link)
    • Go to neighbourhoods that speak the foreign language you want to perfect
    • Travel to your newly acquired country language
    • Then start again and learn a 3rd, 4th or 5th language

    What better way to boost confidence and self-esteem, answering the question:

    Can I Learn A Foreign Language with a resounding YES!!

    FINAL THOUGHTS FROM MIKKEL

    This was truly a fascinating and interesting interview with Olly Richards from I Will Teach You A Language. This is the longest interview at 1 hour and 43 minutes because there was so much to learn. I’ve tried to learn Mandarin for 4 years and have been unsuccessful, now I know why. I learned to speak fluent Spanish in 3 months, how did I do that and not Mandarin? Olly explains why.

    As we’ve mentioned earlier on, the question really is can I learn to speak a foreign language, and the answer is a resounding YES! Please listen in if you’ve struggled with other courses and books and not had any success in moving forward. Maybe you just have not had the right learning tools for you. Give Olly’s course a try. If all else has failed, what have you got to lose? And if you are just starting out and you are starting at ground zero, this is the best language product I’ve come across. For 4 years I’ve tried cue cards and Mandarin dictionaries and they have not worked. This is the course for me and I hope you’ll take the time and wander through Olly’s website and sign up.

    Please leave me a comment below and let me know if you have any questions for Olly or myself regarding the learning curve and what to expect. I’ll keep you posted on how my wife, daughter and mother make out taking Spanish Uncovered and the progress they all make in Panama.

    082: Shlomo Freund – Financial Freedom for Expats Jun 13, 2019

    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 which 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.

    As promised, from Free Financial Self: Click Here For Free Net Worth Calculator

    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 follow through to achieve financial freedom for you, the expat.

    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.

    If you’ve wondered how entrepreneurs make and keep their money, this is how they do it.

    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

    So what is Point B? There is so much to know about Point B and Shlomo tells us all how this is done.

    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 business 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

    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’.

    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

    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.

    Why?

    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 really is fascinating!

    Shlomo discusses 3 different Crowd Investing platforms that he uses. Here are the links as we promised from the episode:

    Envestio

    Crowdestor

    Kuetzal

    Here is an article from EscapeArtist.com that talks about retirement, and the best places to do that in style and luxury and not worry about money.

    FINAL THOUGHTS FROM MIKKEL

    I really got a ton of information from my interview with my good friend Shlomo Freund from Free Financial Self. We talk about how you can achieve financial freedom as an expat and the sooner you start implementing Point A, the faster Point B will happen. When I first started The Expat Money Show, my goal was to help expat entrepreneurs and in this interview, we’re still on track!

    081: Joel Nagel – Best Countries for Citizenship by Investment and Residency by Investment Jun 07, 2019

    Joel Nagel, from Nagel & Associates Law in Pittsburgh, PA is our guest today to talk about Citizenship by Investment and Residency by Investment programs and the options that are available to the globally-minded individual. In EP 63 of the Expat Money Show, Joel talked in depth about Asset Protection. Today we have him and really go deep on Citizenship by Investment and specifically about Cyprus Residency Program and obtaining a second passport. What a huge topic, and I know you’re going to love it. Go someplace quiet with a pen and notepad because you’re going to want to take notes! Joel Nagel is arguably one of the most famous and well-respected lawyers in this space on the planet and has helped hundreds of clients from all over the globe to get a second residency and second passport abroad.

    What is Citizenship by Investment or CBI?

    Let’s start with what is Citizenship by Investment? or CBI? We will shorten it to CBI if that’s okay with you

    There are multiple ways to get second citizenship in countries other than where you were born. It’s an old concept, one that is quoted in the bible some 2000 years ago. Things have obviously changed since then, but the concept remains the same. You were born into one country. And that country, along with its political ties and socio-economic platforms, have a passport that has rules attached. Some passports are exceptional like Singapore and others are crap, like Iraq.

    The modern concept of Citizenship by Investment is only about 25 years old. Each year more and more countries get on board as they see their neighbouring countries being infused with new cash and a more stable economy.

    The idea of CBI is that you can either trade cash or buy real estate to obtain residency or citizenship into a new country.

    Each country has different rules because they all have different needs. Countries like the US and Canada were built on immigrants coming from European countries. They were told that life would be better in Canada and the immigration laws were very easy to get residency. Today, the laws are considerably stricter and to become a Canadian citizen can take 5 years or more. Likewise for the US and obtaining their Green Card.

    What is Residency by Investment

    Residency by Investment can be obtained much quicker than CBI. You apply for permanent residency in a country and from there it can still take 5 years. Often you only have to be in the country 1 day every year or 1 week. Not everyone needs a passport, they just want to live somewhere if something happens to their country.

    How Much Does it Cost

    Mikkel and Joel Nagel talk about the cost of obtaining both residency by investments and citizenship by investment in different countries. When you are ready to sit down and discuss where you want to live, there are questions that the lawyers will ask you. For instance:

    • What is your budget
    • How quickly do you want it
    • When do you want to go
    • Where do you want to live

    Mikkel asks, Is that investment in the Passport? OR is there an investment and you get the passport as a by-product. Listen as Joel Nagel explains this concept in detail.

    Cyprus Citizenship by Investment

    Cyrpus has an amazing program for those that want to invest in property to become citizens of Cyprus. 2 Million Euros and in 6 months you have permanent residency. The funds stay in escrow but you own the property when it is complete and when you want to move or sell the property and leave the country, you can and you reap the benefits of a good real estate market.

    Cyrpus only opens up 700 applications for this program every year. But if you do the math, 700 x 2 million euros, that’s 1,4B Euros infused into the economy. Every year. There are some additional fees like 5% VAT.

    Bulgaria Citizenship by Investment

    Bulgaria is similar to Malta. You are buying government bonds. The lower end of the investment grade. You will not get any interest, but you do get your initial investment back at maturity, which is 5 years.

    Portugal Citizenship by Investment

    Portugal has what’s called ‘The Golden Visa’ Mikkel and Joel discuss what this looks like in a ton of detail. So if Portugal is where you want to live, this is for you. There is virtually no return on investment in Portugal; however, the investment is based on where you buy your property. If it is a heritage building the price goes down. If it is outside the main cities, the investment goes down. There are incentives for different classes of investment.

    Austria

    For permanent residency and a second passport for Austria will only cost you 10 million Euros. This is a true investment. Joel lives in Austria, so he will explain this in more detail.

    Nevis St. Kitts

    They have what’s called the Sugar Fund and a contribution program. They are under 1 umbrella. You can fast track in 4-6 months and have a passport that has visa-free travel to 120 countries.

    Panama

    Friendly Nations Visa.

    Currently, there are 150 countries that can apply for this visa. It is quick and asy and you can have permanent residence in a very short period of time. A new passport can take 5 years but what a great place to live and work. Panama has other visas, but if you want to work and open up a business then this is the place to be.

    Our audience is of all ages. Many would think we would appeal to the 30 something generation. But we are split equally between all generations right up to 70. So this podcast will for everyone.

    US EB5 and EB2

    The US has the US EB5 Immigrant Investor Program and the EB2 Visa (Green Card). Each country has their own rules for entry.

    Other countries discussed in this podcast: Australia, Belize and Colombia.

    Why would a country open their doors for the Residency program?

    Joel & Mikkel talk in depth about the reasons why a country would want more citizens? What are the advantages to the country? Here are just a few of the reasons:

    • Brings wealth into the country
    • Those wealthy people buy homes, cars, food
    • The retail stores benefit, the lawyers, doctors, all benefit (you get the idea)
    • The government is infused with money either with a donation in some cases, other cases a bond with no interest.
    • It’s a win/win for the citizen and the government
    • Open a business and hire employees, who then, in turn, have more money to spend locally

    Why would a citizen leave their country for residency in another country?

    Bottom line: Personal Freedom

    • Plus,
    • More Visa-free travel
    • Lower income tax
    • Stability in government

    CBI was set up for wealthy people that could come full or part-time to a country they see as a nice addition to the country they were born into.

    If you were a citizen of Iraq and you had money, you might want to live somewhere other than there. But how can one do that? By applying for either second residency in another country or by citizenship by investment.

    Keeping with Iraq, their citizens have visa-free or visa on arrival access to 28 countries and territories, ranking the Iraqi passport 104th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index. If you were a resident of Iraq, wouldn’t you want the ability to live somewhere else, with a healthier passport?

    Why would you invest in one country over another

    Questions you would ask yourself? How am I going to be protected? What are the tax ramifications? What is the carrot that gets the investor over the top? How important is the investment?

    Joel explains in this interview how they work and that if you are a citizen of the US what your obligations are when you live abroad. The US is one of only two countries that you must file taxes no matter where you live or work. There is a Foreign Earned Income Exclusion that allows you $100,000 in tax-free exemptions, but if you are a wealthy investor, $100,000 tax-free is not going to make much of a difference. If you are the owner of a company that is bringing in a substantial amount of income, the only way to reduce your tax bill to Uncle Sam is by renouncing your American citizenship.

    If you want to renounce your 1st citizenship, you MUST have a 2nd passport in place. You cannot be a stateless person.

    Listen in as Mikkel Thorup and Joel Nagel discuss the history of Citizenship by Investments and Residency by investments around the globe.

    The question is: Is this for me?

    Before We Close

    There is a lot of fraud and abuse out there. Please be very careful if someone promises you a second passport quickly, or for an unreasonable amount of money. Do your due diligence and if you don’t want to use a lawyer, that’s up to you. However, as we go through the process of leaving the UAE and moving to Panama on the Friendly Nations Visa, I wouldn’t do it by myself. The fees paid to a lawyer are well worth the knowledge they have and the ease of knowing it is done right.

    080: Sean McFate – How the New Face of War Will Affect You and Your Investments May 31, 2019

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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, as has happened in the namesake Balkan region under the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian empire, and later in Yugoslavia.

    The Modern Mercenary

    The first book written by Dr. Sean Mcfate was The Modern Mercenary.

    The Modern Mercenary leverages a detailed analysis of private military companies and their role in recent wars to reveal a broader and more disturbing global trend: the dissipation of the current world order. This phenomenon, called Durable Disorder, encourages a free market for force in which anyone can buy the means to wage war. The world he reveals is dangerous, but there are opportunities to act strategically.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    What a compelling and thought-provoking interview with Dr. Sean McFate. The hour went by so quickly and I still had so many questions. For all of my guests, I thoroughly research them. I read all of their books, listen to them on YouTube, watch their Ted Talks. Sean was no exception. I read all 4 of his books so that I could really understand what we would discuss! I loved this interview and I know you will too.

    079: Mikkel Thorup – A Year in Review May 24, 2019

    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.

    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.

    Mikkel has been writing the EMS Pulse Daily Newsletter for 300 days straight. Imagine. Not missing one day. He tells us that it would have been so easy to skip a day because he wasn’t feeling well. Or just didn’t feel like it. But that’s not who he is. Rule #1 in life: Do all you say you are going to do. Simple. Easy. Just do it! He committed to writing to you every day. Keeping you abreast of what was going on in his daily life and that of the Expat Money Show. And that he has done!

    Exciting News about Escape Artist Website

    Many of you are already on the newsletter EMS Pulse, so this won’t be news. Many of you are new to the podcast, so this might be the first time you’ve heard this exciting news.

    Mikkel has been in talks with a website called Escape Artist. They have been in the offshore market for more than two decades and really need the expertise Mikkel has to offer to bring the company forward in 2019 and beyond.

    Talks began in November 2018 and it looks like the Thorup family will be moving homes and businesses.

    Mikkel recounts in detail what that all looked like and you really should hear it straight from him, so listen in to his story!

    Thailand

    Thailand is the first choice for the entire family. Listen in as Mikkel explains the benefits and pitfalls about moving to Thailand from the Middle East.

    Next came Malaysia

    Korea was a bit hit. There is so much to do in Korea and Mikkel’s wife speaks Korean, so the transition would be fairly simple. Why didn’t that work out?

    Okay, no Korea, what about the Philippians? or China?

    Then the decision to come West, starting with Colombia or Argentina?

    Finally…

    Panama

    Beautiful, sunny, easy-going Panama. The Thorup family decided on a new life in Panama.

    There are so many great reasons they chose Panama. The main one is that as Canadians, they are one of 50 countries that have easy access to Panama in what’s called ‘The Friendly Nations Visa‘. No other country has such an easy process for immigration and residency.

    Mikkel's wife is Chinese. They are not one of the 50 countries, however, Mikkel is able to ‘sponsor’ her to become a permanent resident in Panama. The process is easy, and within 5 years you are able to apply for citizenship and receive a new passport. If this interests you, please contact the office at support@mikkelthorup.com and he can put you in touch with the lawyer and bank that he used. He trusts them and they did an outstanding job.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    It is always fun to tell my story. My story of the Expat Money Show and how I came to work with Escape Artist. I can’t wait for episode 100, by then my family and I will be settled in Panama and my podcast will have grown exponentially.

    078: Brandon Pearce – How To Travel The Globe Homeschooling Your Children May 17, 2019

    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.

    “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did.” ~ Mark Twain

    What’s the difference between world schooling, homeschooling, and unschooling.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 SCHOOLS – AND WHAT I REALIZED AFTER READING WEAPONS OF MASS INSTRUCTION BY JOHN TAYLOR GATTO

    Pearce On Earth

    In the past 10 years, Brandon Pearce and his family have visited over 40 countries, starting with Costa Rica. They have volunteered at rescue centers and schools, experienced some of the earth’s most inspiring natural and man-made wonders, visited with people from all walks of life, and stayed in accommodations from people’s floors and hostels to 5-star resorts. They have attended retreats, conferences, classes, and camps, and had several major identity crises and relationship drama along the way.

    Hence, Pearce On Earth was born. They realized along the way that so many people wanted to experience something different than what society had told them they had to do. Brandon Pearce then created two different itineraries. First, Family Adventure Academy for parents that want to travel and make the transition; and Family Adventure Summit, a community event for families to meet on the road.

    Family Adventure Academy

    This 3-day intensive program is for parents who want to take their family on a long-term travel adventure. 2019 Family Adventure Academy will be held in Seattle, Washing from August 16-18, 2019. These 3 days are very structured where you’ll come away with a plan. Will this be right for you and your family? You’ll be totally prepared to make the next step, whether it’s travelling the world with your family OR staying put in your home town with traditional schooling for your kids. Either way, you’ll have the knowledge to make the right decision for yourself and your family.

    Family Adventure Summit

    For the past 3 years, Brandon Pearce from Pearce on Earth has put on an amazing seminar that includes the kids at some amazing outdoor facilities. The first one was in Penticton, BC where 200 participants came and got to interact with like-minded people.

    The 2nd year was in Mexico with 400 participants. This year, Oct 2-6 in Ubud, Bali you can be part of this adventure with 400 others just like you.

    Come hear inspiring speakers, participate in hands-on workshops, join informal discussions, and make new friends, all in a beautiful location with fun games, cultural performances, and educational activities for all ages.

    Best Quote: When we travel, we’re not just sightseeing. We try to experience “living” in a new place

    View the Gran Vineyard Estates Argentina

    Magnificent Gran Vineyard Estates in Argentina is the newest venture for ECI Development. For over 20 years they have been listening to their investors. They know we are all different in what we want.

    • Is it for personal use to live in year-round
    • to live in part of the year and rent out the remainder of the year
    • or strictly for rental purposes

    They have properties on the Ocean, on the Gulf in the Caribbean, inland, on an island and now in a vineyard. So many of their clients have wanted to buy property in Napa Valley, California but just don’t have the $3 Million that it takes to own a property there.

    076: Marek Zmyslowski – Chasing Black Unicorns – Tech Startups And Corruption In Africa May 02, 2019

    Marek Zmyslowski is a Polish-born entrepreneur and executive, focused on online businesses in Frontier and Emerging Markets. He co-founded HotelOnline.co – a Hospitality Technology Company, and Jumia Travel – Africa’s Biggest Hotel Booking Portal, with backing from Rocket Internet and Goldman Sachs. In 2014, he was chosen as one of the Ten Most Important People in Tech by IT News Africa Magazine. He is a Lead Mentor at Google’s Launchpad and World Bank’s XL Africa Program.

    Starting a Business in Lagos, Nigeria

    Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, sprawls inland from the Gulf of Guinea across Lagos Lagoon. 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.

    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!

    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’.

    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.

    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. Marek Zmysłowski describes this and many other events and puts them in the context of African history and cultures, a continent he fell in love with.

    Marek Zmyslowski’s book, Chasing Black Unicorns has been published in his home country of Poland. The book is being translated into English and will be available in September 2019. If you go to his website you can pre-order a copy of the book, which I encourage all of you to do. It sounds like it’s going to be filled with some pretty amazing stories!

    100% of his income from the book sales will go to giving laptops and coding lessons to the smartest pupils from the poorest families in Nigeria.

    Intrigue and adventure. If you love listening to others talk about a life that sounds like it came out of a spy novel or movie, then our guest John Perkins will delight you!

    How to Reach Marek Zmyslowski

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    What a life Marek Zmyslowski has led at such a young age. What he has been able to accomplish and still does even against all of the corruption in Nigeria. I can’t wait to read his book, Chasing Black Unicorns coming out in English in September 2019.

    Renting a Home Instead of Buying

    Grant Cardone and Mikkel Thorup spend a lot of time discussing the lies we’ve all been told about real estate. I can bet your parents told you over and over again, never rent your home, buy it, always buy your home. The biggest lie is because that just makes your landlord rich! Am I right! But listening to Grant Cardone, he tells you the opposite.

    In this 60 minute interview with Grant Cardone from Cardone Capital, he lays it out so that you can live the life you want, not coming from fear, especially your parents fear.

And why it was the best investment he has ever made. He tells the story of flying into the UK and people noticed that he just arrived in his new Gulf Stream 550. If the Prince didn’t want to talk to him before, he certainly does now!

    • What happened to Grant Cardones first jet
    • Why did Grant Cardone buy a new jet
    • How much does Grant Cardone’s jet cost
    • What type of jet does Grant Cardone have
    • Did Grant Cardone buy his jet in cash

    Cardone Capital

For whatever reason, listen in to this episode and Grant Cardone will explain how CardoneCapital.com works. Who is getting in and how you can too.

    074: Nora Dunn – How To Pay Nothing For Accommodations And Travel The World Rent Free Apr 19, 2019

    Nora Dunn from The Professional Hobo is originally from Toronto, Canada. In 2007 she sold her financial planning practice, got rid of all of her belongings in order to free herself up for the adventure of a lifetime, and has been travelling the world full-time since then. She is an expert on travel, personal finance, and lifestyle design. She has authored multiple books about international travel including “Tales of Trains” where she travelled 42,000 kilometres through 11 countries over 44 days and is an expert of how to pay nothing for accommodations and travel the world rent-free.

    Over the course of several years, Nora Dunn with her company, The Professional Hobo, experimented with many different forms of remote work: volunteerism, freelance writing, teaching & tutoring, and building an online business.

    By 2008 Nora Dunn had crafted an all-new career, earning enough money on the road with The Professional Hobo that she no longer needed to rely on savings. She did this not only by finding ways to earn money, but also discovering creative techniques to live inexpensively. For example, in 2012 she paid just $1,718 for all of her accommodation — what many people pay in a single month.

    What is a Digital Nomad

    And is this something you've always wanted to do. Do you even know what is a digital nomad? Statistics for the future say that more than 50% of the workforce will be classified as Digital Nomads. That doesn't mean you will be leaving the comfort of your home country, it just means that you won't be taking the 1-hour commute to your downtown office any longer. You'll be working from home! Are you in?

    The Professional Hobo

    Mikkel Thorup and Nora Dunn from The Professional Hobo talk about the 5 distinct ways to travel the world and live for free. They are:

    • Hospitality Exchange
    • Volunteering
    • WWOOFing - World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms
    • Living on Boats
    • House Sitting

    We delve into each one of these avenues. They all have their merit depending on what you want to accomplish and if you are a solo traveller or have your family in tow.

    Nora also shares with us her Tips ~ Tricks ~ and Strategies that she has learned over the past dozen years. Her guides are written from self-discovery and working along the way. They may not be for everyone, but you can bet reading one of Nora Dunn's books or guides will take a lot of pressure off your next adventure! Listen in on how to pay nothing for accommodations and travel the world rent free.

    Best Quote of the Day: I wanted to live around the world instead of passing through it

    If you are new to our podcast I have some great suggestions for you if you want to listen in on a specific topic. If you love this interview with Nora Dunn on living your life and working while on the road, you will really enjoy this episode with Sam McRoberts. Sam, his wife, and their son left the USA to travel the world and World School their son along the way. Sam has a very profitable online business in SEO called VUDU Marketing. I think you'll really enjoy this podcast.

    Another great episode is with Mike Michelini from Global From Asia on How To Run An International Business. Mike and his family lived in China but recently moved to Chaing Mai, Thailand. If you're interested in starting an online business from China then this is a great episode to listen to.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    This was an easy going, fun and interesting episode with Nora Dunn from The Professional Hobo. I learned a ton during our talk and I know you will too. If you've always thought that being a digital nomad was the life for you, and learning how to pay nothing for accommodations and travel the world rent free sounds exciting, then don't miss this episode.

    073: Dr. Jack Wheeler – The Real Indiana Jones – One Of The Greatest Explorers Of Our Time Apr 12, 2019

    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.

    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! You will love it!

    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 what they have to teach us. Each podcast is unique and insightful...Enjoy!

In April, they will have their seventh Himalaya Helicopter Expedition to all eight of the highest mountains in the Himalayas - the greatest one-week adventure in the world -- followed by Central Asia, Atlantic Ocean, a Dream Africa Safari, Pitcairn Island, remote villages in Italy, exploring Morocco, Himalayas again, and the South Pole. To see more from Wheeler Expeditions go to www.WheelerExpeditions.com

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    071: John Perkins – Confessions of an Economic Hitman – Yesterday and Today! Mar 29, 2019

    John Perkins was an Economic Hitman. After finishing Business School, he wanted to join the Peace Corp. Around the same time, he had a job interview with the NSA. Their assessment of him was that he would make the perfect Economic Hitman and they encouraged him to join the Peace Corp. There he was thrown into the jungles of the Amazon River. He learned how to survive, to speak another language and understand how developing nations worked.

    After the Peace Corps, John was the Chief Economist at a major international consulting firm. He advised the World Bank, United Nations, IMF, U.S. Treasury Department, Fortune 500 corporations, and leaders of countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

    You may ask, what is an Economic Hitman? and how did John Perkins come to write a book called "Confessions of an Economic Hitman?"

    John Perkins life and the life of all Economic Hitman from around the globe are what action thriller movies are made of. Intrigue and espionage. Government coup and presidential assassination.

    John tells us stories of working with Prime Ministers, Presidents, and Heads of States of several Countries around the Globe during the 1970s. John Perkins was told he was doing good work, that the only way to help developing countries was to get them huge loans to build schools, infrastructure and more. However, the reality was that the money wasn't going to the countries involved, it was going to large corporations inside the USA who would build the roads and the schools and the countries would be left with a huge debt that they couldn't possibly pay off.

    Mikkel Thorup and John Perkins talk in-depth about:

    • The story behind the story
    • Iran Regime Change - the origin
    • Jamie Raldos - Ecuador president assassinated
    • Omar Torrijos - Panama president assassinated
    • Iraq - Saddam Hussein
    • 3 stages - economic hitman - jackals - military
    • Corporatocracy

    Confessions Of An Economic Hitman

    Confessions Of An Economic Hitman took 14 years to write. It provides Perkins' account of his career with engineering consulting firm Chas. T. Main in Boston. Ultimately, Confessions spent 73 weeks on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list, has been published in at least 32 languages and is used in many college and university programs.

    Life After the NSA and Chas. T. Main

    Let's Talk About 'What is a Capitalist'?

    A capitalist is a person who uses their wealth to invest in trade and industry for profit in accordance with the principles of capitalism.

    Likewise, Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

    What Is Corporatocracy

    Corporatocracy is a term used to refer to an economic and political system controlled by corporations or corporate interests. It is most often used as a term to describe the economic situation in a particular country. This is different from corporatism, which is the organization of society into groups with common interests. Corporatocracy as a term is often used by observers across the political spectrum.

    How Can we Change our Perceptions

    To be successful we need to change our perceptions. And how can we change our perceptions? We need to create a lifestyle, to create companies, to create a business' that look to the long term benefits not just the short term benefits for all.

    We need to protect the only planet we have right now, be conscientious and do the right thing for future generations, and we need to work together to make huge changes.

    He is an author & activist committed to transforming the world into a sustainable, just, and peaceful place where all beings thrive.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    This was truly a fascinating episode with John Perkins. Ultimately, after I read his book 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' I knew I wanted him as a guest on our show. Let me tell you, John was a hard man to pin down, due to the fact that he travels the world speaking to audiences about his experiences in the 1970s and to help people around the globe become more conscientious about the future of our planet. He now lectures about changes we all need to make for the survival of our planet. Please don't miss this amazing chat with John Perkins.

    070: Maurice Glazer – American Passports Seized For Not Being Tax Compliant Mar 20, 2019

    Maurice Glazer is the CEO and founder of Glazer Financial Network who started out as a bookkeeper at the age of 17. He has preceded to work in financial services for more than 6 decades (let that sink in for a moment). Together with his son and grandson, they have grown Glazer Financial Network to over 4,000 clients around the world. They have included a branch of their company ‘Expat Tax Experts’, which helps Expatriates to figure out their financial situation and stay tax compliant. He travels extensively as a keynote speaker giving presentations in places like Belize, Mexico, Ecuador, Panama and all over the United States.

    Maurice Glazer

    Maurice Glazer has been in the tax game since he was 7 years old. His extended family were entrepreneurs who convinced him that everyone needs a bookkeeper for their business so they understand where their money is going. Today, those rules haven't changed a bit. Tax laws have become more complex, and that is why having a tax expert to keep you tax compliant is so important.

    From early on, Maurice Glazer understood the rule: Plan to Plan. For the past 6 decades this is how he and his company, Glazer Financial Network, have grown their company successfully. More than once Maurice used this phrase. He has several stories about helping companies and individuals become tax compliant and to work on offshore voluntary disclosure. Planning to Plan is what has made him such an exceptional tax accountant.

    Listen in to hear funny stories in the life of Maurice Glazer about tax case for Jimmy Hoffa, Richard Pryor and many others that built his success!

    Offshore Voluntary Disclosure

    The Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) is a voluntary disclosure program specifically designed for taxpayers with exposure to potential criminal liability and/or substantial civil penalties due to a willful failure to report foreign financial assets and pay all tax due in respect of those assets. OVDP is designed to provide to taxpayers with such exposure

    1. Protection from criminal liability and
    2. Terms for resolving their civil tax and penalty obligations.

    Ex: If your grandmother left you a sum of money that was sitting in Switzerland, you have to understand what needs to be done to stay tax compliant. Most accountants don't know how to file properly, it's why it is so important to have a great tax accountant.

    We talk in depth about some of our past guests who deal with Offshore Voluntary Disclosure and being Tax Compliant. If you haven't had a chance to listen to these amazing interviews, here is a fast track to start your day!

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    Such an informative episode with Maurice Glazer. I tell my audience on an ongoing basis how important being tax complaint is and what can happen when you do not follow the rules. I've always led my personal and business life being compliant and doing things the right way. When I have important documents I trust my lawyer to look over the paperwork to make sure I am not signing something I shouldn't. And when it comes to tax laws and preparation, I call on my ever so important tax accountant. They always save me money, so why in the world would I ever try to go it alone.

    069: Richard Maybury – How Will The Trade War With China Affect You And Your Investments Mar 15, 2019

    Richard Maybury is the author of 22 books and monographs including his Uncle Eric series of books which focuses on economics, law and history and he has written The US and World Early Warning Report, an investment newsletter that follows an Austrian School of Economic perspective of what is happening in the world for nearly 30-years. Early Warning Report is read inside the CIA and the Pentagon and Former Libertarian Presidential Candidate Ron Paul said: "I look forward to reading every issue of your Early Warning Report."

    Over the past 18 months, we have had some amazing guests. Guests who have alternative viewpoints with regards to economics and politics. Guests like in Ep 036: Jim Rogers and recently Ep 60: Doug Casey who share their views on how our government can benefit from no government at all.

    Mikkel believes that he is carrying the torch to show his generation that there is something more than just the left and right governments and how important it is in this day and age to seek this information out.

    Natural Law

    Natural Law can be summed up in 17 words - Do All You Have Agreed to Do and do not encroach on other persons or their property.

    Humans cannot progress unless they are obeying these 17 words. Every legal system going back 6,000 years has followed this. Want to test Natural Law? Break Natural Law every day at every chance you get, and at the end of a week ask yourself "Has my life gotten better OR worse"?

    We touch on

    • Latin America Wars
    • USA Global Empire
    • Understanding Natural Law
    • Discussion on Austrian School of Economics
    • Scientific Law and Governmental Law
    • Early Warning Report
    • and so much more!

    Early Warning Report

    Early in Richards career, he started in the US Air Force and flew missions in South and Central America. Very quickly Richard realized what the governments were doing, and they were certainly not telling the American public.

    Since 1991, Richard Maybury has been the author of the Early Warning Report, which is a monthly publication discussing what the governments don't want you to know, what's happening around the world politically and what to do about it. Make sure you sign up for this report and get 40% off as a listener of The Expat Money Show www.EarlyWarningReport.com

    The Early Warning Report is as applicable today as it has ever been!

    Austrian School of Economics

    Wikipedia defines Austrian School of Economics as a body of economic theory developed in the late 19th century by Austrian economists who, in determining the value of a product, emphasized the importance of its utility to the consumer.

    Richard Maybury Books

    The Richard Maybury books use stories and examples to gives clear, simple explanations of topics that are generally thought to be too difficult for anyone but experts.

    Richard Maybury has penned eleven books in the Uncle Eric series. For anyone wanting to understand economics, these are a must read.

    Whatever Happened to Justice? (An Uncle Eric Book)

    Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? (An Uncle Eric Book)

    Are You Liberal? Conservative? Or Confused? (An Uncle Eric Book)

    Trade War

    Richard Maybury and Mikkel Thorup talk in depth about the Trade War between the US and China. They look back in history and compare this trade war with others and the outcome they had on our countries. How will it turn out if the US and China do not come to a solution? What will happen and when, and who is likely to start a war if that's the outcome? So interesting.

    We also discuss 'what is a trade war and how does it happen?'

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    This episode with Richard Maybury really was a thought-provoking, open your eyes show. We touch on so many important ideas and concepts. I believe with Natural Law, if everyone was to follow this as closely as possible, our world would be clear of wars and strife and we would see an improvement in our quality of life immediately.

    068: Gunnar Garfors – Travel Adventurer Visits Every Country In The world Twice! Mar 04, 2019

    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.

    Guinness World Record

    ~ 5 Countries on 5 Continents in just one day

    ~ 19 Countries in 24 hours

    ~ 22 US states in 24 hours

    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 travelers. They all agree, Travel Changes You! And almost always for the best!

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Books by Gunnar Garfors

    "198: How I ran out of Countries"

    "Nowhere - 20 Least Visited Countries" due to come out in April 2019 in Norway and the rest of the world later in 2019

    How to Reach Gunnar Garfors

    www.garfors.com

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    What a fun interview with Gunnar Garfors. So many fun stores. It's been my life long dream to visit every country in the world, so I'm totally impressed with Gunnar's adventures. As if once wasn't a feat beyond my dreams, doing it twice, and all before he turned 43 years old.

    067: Lobo Tiggre – Generate Additional Streams Of Income As An Independent Speculator Mar 01, 2019

    Lobo Tiggre is the founder, CEO, and principal analyst and editor at Louis James, LLC and The Independent Speculator. He has dedicated his work to the causes for free markets and individual liberty and is currently a member of the board of directors of Liberty International. He is a writer and publisher with many books to his name, along with co-authoring two of Doug Casey books from International Man; whom he worked alongside with for 16 years writing under the pen name ‘Louis James’.

    Speculator

    "a person who invests in stocks, property, or other ventures in the hope of making a profit"

    I know many of you want to know if it's safe? are there risks involved? how much money can I make? or lose? Do I need a University degree to be a Speculator?

    What Does It Take to be a Top Notched Speculator?

    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.

    [caption id="attachment_4387" align="alignnone" width="485"] Lobo Tiggre in front of the Reverse Ziggurat in Africa[/caption]

    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!

    Who is Louis James?

    "Louis James” was legendary speculator Doug Casey’s protégé at Casey Research for almost 14 years, until early 2018. By 2007, he was writing and making investment recommendations in Casey’s flagship newsletter, the International Speculator. Now he brings his experience, his connections, and his deal flow directly to you, without the barrage of marketing hype used by larger publishers with his newsletter, Independent Speculator.

    We have had the privilege to interview several members of International Man. One of our most recent was episode 65: Joel Bowman If you haven't listened in yet, you'll love our chat with Joel.

    Independent Speculator

    The Independent Speculator is Lobo Tiggre's flagship monthly publication. It delivers actionable ideas, information, and analysis via disclosure and discussion of actual investments they make. This is not a theoretical approach to speculation. The trades are real. So is the money they risk. And so is the opportunity for clients to enter the same or similar trades.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    What a great interview with Lobo Tiggre from Independent Speculator. So many fun stores, I was laughing so hard my sides hurt. I believe you will truly enjoy this educational episode about Speculating.

    066: Christoph Heuermann – Free Private City Project And Alternative Investments Abroad Feb 21, 2019

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    065: Joel Bowman – Real World Economic Examples on How to Internationalize Your Life Feb 15, 2019

    Joel Bowman, the Editorial Director for International Man, talks to us today about real-world economic examples. He works alongside Doug Casey and Dr. John Hunt helping individuals around the world to understand how internationalizing your life can free you from the State.

    During Joel Bowman's professional career, he has written from more than 85 countries, a dozen of which he called temporary home. His columns have appeared in well know libertarian outlets, such as Mises.org, FEE.org, lewrockwell.com and The Daily Reckoning, which he managed for 5 years with Bill Bonner and Addison Wiggin. He speaks regularly at conferences around the world on topics including philosophical anarchism, internationalizing your life and the decentralization revolution.

    Real World Economic Examples

    Listen in to this amazing episode to hear Joel Bowman and Mikkel Thorup discuss real-world economic examples. We've never done an episode like this, so if you want to understand world economics past, present, and future, then you'll love this interview. Also, we delve into how our life can look when these lessons are implemented; therefore, creating a more interesting and peaceful life.

    Internationalizing Your Life

    Have you ever wondered what this means? 'Internationalizing Your Life' Today we chat about why and how this can be done, from the beginning of deciding this life is for you, to implementing all of the steps for yourself. Here are a few of the ideas you can look at to see if internationalizing your life is for you:

    • Cost of Living in your current home city
    • Monthly outlay, examples: mortgage, credit card repayment, car insurance
    • Health Insurance Cost
    • Also, never think you can't afford it, you can afford it!

    Travel is Fatal to Prejudice, Bigotry and Narrow Mindedness, and Many of Our People Need It Sorely on These Accounts ~ Mark Twain 1869

    Once you start traveling and seeing the world, the way others live, you start to question how you were brought up, what the governments have been telling you; most importantly, our schooling.

    063: Joel Nagel – How To Protect Your Assets So No-One Would Ever Dare To Sue You Jan 30, 2019

    In this interview with Joel Nagel, we discuss what asset protection is, how to protect your assets, the offshore markets, estate planning and how to make sure no-one would ever dare to sue you. Grab our brand new infographic report called “15 Global Strategies to Protect Your Wealth” for free that Joel and I created.

    Interview with Joel Nagel

    Joel Nagel is an internationally-recognized lawyer, visionary, and strategic thinker. He has been featured in countless business publications across the world and quoted in U.S. News & World Report as well as in Forbes Magazine. He is the founder and managing partner of Nagel & Associates, LLC, which specializes in international law, estate planning, global commercial transactions, and asset protection. And has been the Ambassador to Austria and other countries in Europe.

    What are the Offshore Markets?

    We start the episode off with two important definitions: What is Asset Protection? and What are the Offshore Markets?

    Investopedia’s Definition of Offshore

    “What is Offshore? – “Offshore” refers to a location outside of one’s national boundaries, whether or not that location is land- or water-based. The term “offshore” may be used to describe foreign banks, corporations, investments and deposits. A company may legitimately move offshore for the purpose of tax avoidance or to enjoy relaxed regulations.”

    I ask Joel Nagel some questions like: “Why do you use the offshore markets? Is there anything illegal, dodgy, or unethical about using the offshore markets in this manner?”

    What is Asset Protection?

    Investopedia’s Definition of Asset Protection:

    “Asset protection is the concept of and strategies for guarding one’s wealth. Asset protection is a type of financial planning intended to protect one’s assets from creditor claims. Individuals and business entities use asset protection techniques to limit creditors’ access to certain valuable assets while operating within the bounds of debtor-creditor law.”

    I also ask Joel Nagel some questions about asset protection like: “Why do we need asset protection? Why don’t people just use a normal asset protection lawyer and keep things onshore, or inside the USA?”

    Hear how Joel Nagel describes asset protection and why he decided to practice this field of law, and the very personal reasons for doing so as it will help you understand why asset protection is so important.

    Estate Planning

    Joel talks about how using the offshore markets and international trusts are more than just asset protection. Estate Planning is often just as important and is one of the three main reasons people go down this road.

    Listen in to the complete episode to hear the third major reason you might want to consider the offshore markets for more than just asset protection.

    Hear how the offshore markets can set your family up for generational wealth with Estate Planning and how you can responsibly pass your wealth on to your descendants.

    How To Protect Your Assets

    In this interview with Joel Nagel, we go into depth on multiple strategies you can use to make creditors double think about coming after you and attorneys terrified to even consider suing you.

    For a complete outline on how to protect your assets download “15 Global Strategies to Protect Your Wealth” in PDF for free right now.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    Joel has really become a mentor to me these last couple of years. As he says in our interview: “we are cut from the same cloth" and I tend to agree with him. I hope you get as much out of this interview as I did.

    062: Ronald Stöferle – Author of In Gold We Trust Report Talks Predictions And China’s Role In Gold Markets Jan 25, 2019

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    One of the best ways you can store your gold and silver is through an Offshore Vault company which I talk about in detail here.

    061: Olivier Wagner – CPA Gives A Masterclass In How To Renounce US Citizenship Jan 18, 2019

    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?

    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.

    In my research, I've found a lack of reliable information for American Citizens who want to renounce their citizenship.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 illegal or shady practices on The Expat Money Show or in any of my writing. I always encourage people to be tax compliant and seek advice based on their individual situation. This article or any material put out at The ExpatMoneyShow.com should not be considered individual tax advice.

    How to renounce US citizenship

    Olivier Wagner walks us through a step by step process of how to renounce US citizenship. We talk about the interview process, what will take place, where it is done, how many times you need to visit and what you should expect when you go.

    Really a step by step understanding of how to renounce US citizenship.

    Pros and cons of renouncing US citizenship

    In this interview with Oliver Wagner, we get into all the pros and cons of renouncing US citizenship. Once again it is a truly personal decision and it is important to have a full picture of all the tax implications when renouncing your US citizenship. I highly suggest you speak with someone who understands the entire process, it is very possible there are alternative options available to you instead of having to renounce your citizenship.

    What are the tax implications of renouncing US citizenship?

    With Oliver Wagner, we discuss all the tax implications of renouncing US citizenship. We get into the capital gains tax and the exit tax. And we dive deep into the difference between a covered Expatriate and a non-covered Expatriate.

    Olivier even tells some stories and examples on all the tax implications of renouncing US citizenship.

    How much does it cost to renounce US citizenship?

    We break down the costs in general terms what someone can expect to pay based on the exit tax fees, what you will pay your CPA or Tax Attorney, and how the capital gains tax works. It will also highly depend if you are already tax compliant or if you must have your previous 5 years of tax returns filed.

    Olivier Wagner highlights what his firm typically charges for their services. Download it now or access the show notes below for the full breakdown.

    The other thing I will note here is for the right person renouncing your US citizenship can actually save you tens of thousands of dollars a year in taxes that are owed to the IRS.

    As a free service, I am happy to introduce you to Olivier Wagner for your US Expat Tax Return or for more information on Renouncing your US Citizenship. Just fill out your details below and my team will be happy to make an introduction.

    Final Thoughts

    Renouncing your US Citizenship is a deeply personal decision and you should never allow anyone to influence you one way or another if it is right for you. My goal with this interview with Olivier Wagner is to really paint a clear picture of all the pros and cons of renouncing US citizenship so you have a much clearer picture of how to renounce US citizenship and if it is the right decision for you.

    Such a great conversation with Jeff Berwick from The Dollar Vigilante about Libertarianism and Anarchy. Listen in as Jeff and Mikkel talk about what these terms really mean and why it is so important to understand them and to incorporate them into your life. They truly believe that for the future, you will see the Libertarianism and Anarchy movement grow and be mainstream instead of just a few, it will be the many.

    Safest Countries in the World

    Both Jeff Berwick and Mikkel Thorup have been to 100 countries + and both agree on their favourite places to visit and some of the cities and countries they have both visited and both disliked. Such an interesting topic to discuss!

    They discuss countries like Mexico, Colombia, Iran, Polland, Cambodia, Somalia, Iraq, and Afganistan. They both have such love for most of these countries and will tell you that the governments have it wrong, terribly wrong. Other than Somalia, Iraq, and Afganistan, which are truly dangerous!! So maybe don't plan a vacation there, but the other countries! they just love!

    Unschooling

    Unschooling is discussed, as with many of our guests, and why it is really the ONLY way to educate your children. After listening to several of our guests discuss Unschooling, and you are still not satisfied that this is the platform of the future, listen in to this interview with Jeff Berwick from The Dollar Vigilante. Listen to his views of the children that come and join in at their conferences each year, Anarcupluco, and their family camp. How clear and bright these children are and how free from constraints they are with other families that are also Unschooled.

    056: Gregory Diehl – Independently Publishing Books That Matter Dec 14, 2018

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work with an independent publisher? Here are some of the ideas we talk about in this interview with Gregory Diehl.

    • Is it difficult
    • What do they require
    • What if I have something to say but don't know how to put in down on paper
    • Where do I begin..and end?
    • And everything in between

    Interview with Gregory Diehl

    In this interview with Gregory Diehl, we talk in-depth about his own writings. The books he has self-published and what he has learned along the way. Gregory Diehl has certain things he wants to teach you, the budding author like how to work with an independent publisher. Also in this interview with Gregory Diehl, we discuss how important writing a book can be for your future as an entrepreneur. What it can do for your branding and your authority.

    How Can I Write and Publish A Book

    In this interview with Gregory Diehl, we talk a lot, and I mean a lot about how to write and publish a book. What is needed, what is not important and if you're cut out to write and publish a book.

    I know that for many of you listening to our podcast, you've always wanted to write and publish a book. You have so many great ideas, and you're sure that if you could put it on paper, someone would buy.

    And I can only assume that for many of you that can come true. But where do you start? What do you need to do? What is a waste of time? In this interview with Gregory Diehl and Mikkel Thorup, all of that is covered and more.

    Are book Reviews Important

    What a great question Mikkel Thorup asks Gregory Diehl. Are book reviews important? and why? Why is it so important to get book reviews especially as a new author. You may ask 'are they difficult to do' or 'do they take a lot of time'? Gregory explains it all, so don't miss this amazing episode.

    Mikkel talks about his experience with book reviews and why he believes they are so darn important. He tells us that when he wrote and published his new book Expat Secrets that he sent copies to some of his most trusted mentors and asked them for an honest review to be published on Amazon.

    How Can Travel Change Your Life

    Then, as this interview with Gregory Diehl starts to unwind, they discuss Mikkel Thorup's favourite subject...travel, and how travel can change your life. Gregory is 30 years old and has visited 56 countries, which is unbelievable. Mikkel has been to more than 100 so they had so much to discuss. They discuss how it has shaped their lives in such a good way. Travel is not always about just the positive aspects but also about the negative things that can happen while you are away from your home country. The language barrier, the food differences, the water...the list is quite extensive.

    Don't miss this interview with Gregory Diehl. He has some fascinating stories to tell and I know you'll be genuinely interested in hearing them all.

    055: Bobby Casey – Expat Anarchist Explains How Blockchain Can Replace Government Dec 07, 2018

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    In this interview with Bobby Casey we spend a ton of time talking about the Blockchain and Anarchy, also:

    • Crypto Currency
    • Gold & Silver
    • Stock Market
    • Overseas Real estate
    • Block Chain is the way of the future
    • Decentralized currency
    • Smart Contracts

    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!

    Definition of a Libertarian

    The definition of a libertarian is a person who believes in free will.

    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.

    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?

    054: Jonathan Levi – How To Get Super Powers From A World Class Memory Expert Nov 30, 2018

    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'.

    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.

    Phrases like:

    • I'm such a clutz
    • I'm so bad at math
    • I never remember names

    So the question is: how do people break this pattern, what are the steps to becoming a SuperLearner?

    SuperLearner

    Years ago if you wanted to become an Entrepreneur it was hard. The information wasn't readily accessible. You had to go to the bookstore and hope that someone had written a book on the subject you wanted to learn and you had to trust that they knew what they were talking about.

    Today, information is at our fingertips. So much information in fact that if you have the skills that Jonathan Levi teaches, you can become a SuperLearner, a memory expert and superhuman in no time. In this episode, all is revealed. Are these skills important to becoming an entrepreneur? you bet they are!

    Memory Expert

    What does a memory expert look like? What is it that you want to accomplish? When you go to a dinner party do you want to remember guests names? what do they do for a living? become friends with them? Jonathan Levi has a system, a course that he is willing to share with our readers. It can be found at www.JLE.VI/5

    Jonathan Levi was kind enough to give us this free gift. It is a treasure that you should all take advantage of, really. 5 days can change the course of your entrepreneurial life!

    Jonathan Levi shared one of his favourite quotes with us, from Robert Hyman about specialization:

    'A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, con a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, co-operate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly -

    Specialization is for insects!'

    Super Human

    What does being a Super Human mean to you? It means something different to all of us. What's important in your life?

    • How important is our self-belief patterns, how we see ourselves?
    • Is there a cost?
    • What about cause & effect?
    • Should we sacrifice it all to get what we want?

    For the Fun of It

    In every episode, we talk about some fun stuff. After discussing being a SuperLearner, How to get Super Powers, and becoming a Super Human, we talked about coffee....yes coffee...specifically Jetfuel coffee. It's called Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee. This stuff sounds amazing, I may have to order some when I go stateside!!

    Last but not least we discussed the 'Memory Palace'. This is where Jonathan Levi's 5-day memory course www.jle.vi/5 comes into play. It's yours free to discover the benefits of how to get superpowers, to become a memory expert, a super learner with a super memory and being a superhuman!!

    052: Michael Michelini – How To Run An International Business As An Expat In Chiang Mai Nov 16, 2018

    Michael Michelini started his career out of college on Wall Street and soon realized that entrepreneurship was his calling. 11 years later, his business, Global From Asia, calls Chiang Mai, Thailand home.

    In this Interview with Michael Michelini, we chat about:

    • How to Run an International Business
    • Best way to meet Expats in China
    • The Cross-Border Summit
    • Being an Expat in Chiang Mai
    • Cross-Border Match Maker
    • Canton Fair
    • and so much more!

    How to Run an International Business

    Are you the type of entrepreneur that always wondered what it would be like to have an FBA store? or a Shopify store? And just thought it might be too difficult to build a profitable store online? Then this is the episode for you!

    Or are you already successful in the online shopping world? Do you have a profitable store but have no real say in how the products are manufactured and delivered? Then this too is the episode for you!

    Michael Michelini and Mikkel Thorup talk about how to best start in this space. What needs to happen, meeting the suppliers in China, branding, and plain old hand-holding. Michael Michelini started his business in Hong Kong, China. After 11 years he has mastered the ins and outs of how to effectively and efficiently work alongside the factories in China so that you, the import/export company can easily create the products that suit your needs.

    Most of us would be afraid of the language barrier, the thousands of factories to choose from, and the fear of trying to communicate with the shop owners. Michael Michelini understood those issues when he first started his business and is here to help guide you through the process.

    How To Meet Expats In China

    Living in the USA his entire life, having school friends and work colleagues, moving to Hong Kong meant that Michael had to learn to socialize with the locals, or find new expat friends. We discuss where Michael Michelini found his new tribe; was it difficult; and is that where he met his wife?

    Meet another Expat in China in this interview with Rico Ngmoa, we also dive deep into the Canton Fair and talk about how to safely judge a manufacturing plant who builds your products.

    051: Mike Cobb – International Real Estate Investments In Belize And Nicaragua Nov 09, 2018

    Mike Cobb is the Co-Founder of ECI Development, that does International Real Estate Developments in Central America and the Caribbean with a lot of the focus these days being investments in Belize and investment in Nicaragua. Mike and his family lived as Expats in Managua, Nicaragua for 14 years before returning to the States. They went there for business and stayed there by choice.

    International Real Estate

    Mike Cobb is extremely passionate about what opportunities the country has for Expat Entrepreneurs and International Real Estate! Have you ever wondered how someone from the USA could end up living and working in Central America? What would the draw be and why would you stay? This is the episode to listen to if Central America is where you've contemplated investing, retiring or a little of both.

    When Mike Cobb starting building communities in Central America, they believed that their market would be for investors to buy and to rent out as vacation homes. This was true until the baby boomers decided they could have it both ways. They could buy International Real Estate, rent out 6 months of the year and pay down their mortgage. Then as 'snow birds' spend the winter months in a fabulous community in a country that offers a high standard of living with a low cost of living.

    Time Machine & Path of Progress

    Mikk Cobb, what does that mean? Time Machine & Path of Progress? If you could go back 20 years and see how the path of progress was, you'd be rich. I'm sure many of you have dreamt about the 'what if's' If I only knew what the economy would be like. You still have time with an investment in Belize or an investment in Nicaragua.

    Investment in Belize

    Let's talk about investments in Belize and the time machine & path of Progress. In Belize, you're likely going back in time about 5-10 years. If you're talking about Nicaragua, it's more like 20 years. It truly is the best time to make an investment in Belize.

    Are you interested in an investment in Belize? Mike Cobb discusses what is available, what life is like in Belize and what you can expect from your investment in Belize.

    Are you an early baby boomer? Do you find yourself wondering if you've saved enough money to have the life you're accustomed to in the US or Canada? If not, again, this is the episode that is so important to give a listen to.

    Offshore Banking in Belize

    Are you an American or Canadian entrepreneur? with a viable business and paying high taxes? Let's talk about offshore banking in Belize. Life in Belize is warm and sunny most of the year. Crime is low, medical care is fantastic, in fact, they welcome medical tourism. Therefore, the real question is 'why would you stay in your home country when you can set up offshore banking in Belize and pay next to nothing in taxes and have a lower cost of living and a higher quality of life'. I know that sounds like a paradox, but it's true.

    Investment in Nicaragua

    Talking about investment in Nicaragua, Mike Cobb and his partner have been at this a long time and have built their company ECI from the ground up. They know what they are talking about and are an integral part of helping to develop a country so that Americans & Canadians have a resource to follow through on.

    For those of you who are interested in an investment in Nicaragua, an investment in Belize or Offshore Banking in Belize, don't miss this episode with Mike Cobb & Mikkel Thorup.

    Mike Cobb & Mikkel Thorup reminisce about what life is like living in Nicaragua with a full-time maid for $200 - $300 a month, having a coffee sack full of organic vegetables & fruits delivered to your front door every week for $8 and going to the movies for $2. Life is peaceful, safe and this may surprise many of you, they have international hospitals, so medical care is on par with the US or Canada.

    Listen in to hear what Mike Cobb has to say about the trends he is witnessing in Central America today! What has become common and accepted? This is a jam-packed interview.

    Discussions about:

    • BUPA - Insurance for Expats
    • Logistics of getting a Visa and
    • Who you should really trust for the best advice

    049: Gregor Gregersen – Electric Vehicle Metals Held In Singaporean Vault – Next Big Commodity To Boom Oct 26, 2018

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is one of those times...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 lot of work goes into understanding this.

    In the coming months, I will be writing more on investment topics like this. I am working on a paid newsletter where every month you will receive a special report detailing timely opportunities that I uncover in my journey around the world.

    In it, I will break down everything you need to know to make smart investments with double-digit returns. This is going to help you to diversify your wealth overseas, protect your assets and take control of your financial future...

    The subscription newsletter is called EMS Underground, but... it’s not quite ready yet… as a test to see how you like this type of information, I have put together a special report on Electric Vehicle Metals. So instead of waiting until next year until everything is ready to launch I want to this in your hands right now.

    I suggest you take me up on this offer as I will most likely be selling these special reports from anywhere between $97 to $197. - Honestly, I believe, they are more than worth that...

    048: Rico Ngoma – How To Source Products In China For Drop Shipping and FBA Oct 19, 2018

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Rico Ngoma's company: Source Find Asia

    • Manufacturing Consultants
    • Introduction to Factories
    • Interpreting the language
    • Peace of Mind for Clients
    • and more!!

    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.

    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!

    I hope you get as much value from this interview with Rico 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 travel the world and build my business, develop key relationships and invest in non-traditional investments overseas (very profitably I might add!)


    047: Jeff Haden – The First Rule Of Ghostwriting Is: You Do Not Talk About Ghostwriting… Oct 12, 2018

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    046: Edmund John – KYC Chain A New Blockchain Technology From The Founder Of Flag Theory Oct 05, 2018

    Edmund John From Flag Theory has embarked on a new platform and in this episode, Mikkel Thorup delves deep into what is KYC & 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.

    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

    • 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.

    What is KYC & AML

    Edmund John From Flag Theory explains KYC: Know Your Customer & 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 & 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 & 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...

    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!

    Covered in this episode with Edmund John from Flag Theory:

    • Visa-Free Travel
    • Strong passports
    • Cryptocurrency
    • Review of Flag Theory
    • Expat Communities

    Where to reach Edmund John from Flag Theory

    www.selfkey.org

    Final Thoughts

    Super interesting conversation with Edmund John from Flag Theory. We broke down, what is Flag Theory? We then had a review of Flag Theory and really talked about each flag specifically. But we had to start at the beginning and talked about what is KYC & AML, topics that are a must for those that are concerned about how your own country is dealing with their economy.

    045: James Guzman – Vacation Rental Business Using Airbnb As An Expat In Mexico Sep 28, 2018

    James Guzman is an American Expat living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. He is an expert on how to start a vacation rental business, and specifically, how to start an Airbnb in Mexico and Airbnb as an Expat.

    James Guzman and Mikkel Thorup talk about short-term rentals when it comes to how to start an Airbnb in Mexico. Are short-term rentals more beneficial than long term? Are the risks different? If you've ever considered how to start a vacation rental business, then this is the episode for you.

    How to Start a Vacation Rental Business

    We have all heard about Airbnb and how it has revolutionized the lodging and accommodation world of travel, and you probably know someone that puts their home on this site when they are away on vacation to maybe recoup some of their expenses while they are away.

    However, have you ever considered renting properties and then turning around and advertising on Airbnb? Did you know that you don't have to own the property? As long as the landlord is aware of what your plan looks like, there is no reason for them to say no. This and many other ideas are discussed in this fun episode on how to start a vacation rental business.

    As mentioned, Airbnb has changed the face of short-term rentals forever. How did they get so big? so quickly? and you must be asking yourself, what kind of software do they use and can I use it too? Listen in as James Guzman explains the software they use for efficiency and speed.

    Starting a Business in Mexico as an Expat and How to Start an Airbnb in Mexico

    We also talk about the demographics of his short-term rentals and how to start an Airbnb in Mexico. Because James Guzman lives in Mexico, of course, it is much simpler, as he can keep an eye on his business, but you can start an Airbnb anywhere. The concepts are the same all across the globe. Here are a few ideas discussed:

    • Platforms and Software
    • Access to the property/keys
    • How to earn more income from your properties
    • What to do during slow seasons
    • What does a 'Full Vacation' look like
    • Challenges of owning your own business

    What To Consider When you Start a Vacation Rental Business

    • Is your city safe? Clean?
    • What about the culture? the food?
    • Why do people come to your city?
    • What kind of return can I expect?
    • Vacancy rates?
    • All this and more is discussed!

    James Guzman on Education

    Most of our listeners are aware of our passion here on the Expat Money Show regarding the current state of the education system in North America and the trend towards homeschooling and world schooling. James Guzman and Mikkel Thorup discuss this hot topic. Many of our past guests discuss this same topic, listen in to Ep 37: Zak Slayback or to Ep 43: Sam McRoberts who currently owns and operates his business as an expat and world schools his son.

    We all know how much Mikkel loves to talk about travel and the experiences learned from each country. Today's episode was no different. Mikkel and James Guzman chat in detail about Medellin & the country of Colombia. Mikkel spent quite a bit of time there when he first started his travels and speaks kindly about the people, the food and the culture. James Guzman would agree!

    Best Way to Reach James Guzman

    www.borderlessblog.com

    Final Thoughts

    I really didn't know much about Airbnb myself, so I learned a great deal from James Guzman. It really is a great business model for those interested in learning how to start a vacation rental business. James has some great insights and totally worth listening in.

    And Why use Drop Shipping Physical Goods?

    Question Mikkel asked: Ian, Is it too late to get into E-Commerce?

    Answer: Listen to this episode to find out because Ian Bond is pretty in depth and has a ton of information to share, specifically about e-commerce as an expat.

    If you're still not convinced, listen to EP 029: Jim Cockrum - Jim is a constant top 10 seller on Amazon, and along with his two closest partners (Nathan Bailey & Brett Bartlett), run a combined $25 million annual sales empire all through an E-Commerce store.

    043: Sam McRoberts – Internationalize To Protect Your Wealth And Your Family Sep 14, 2018

    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.

    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 & 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!

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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?

    In Ep 029: Jim Cockrum talks about what is unschooling and how happy his children are because they chose this type of education.

    What Else Will You Learn From This Episode

    • What is the Schengen Area and why is it important to understand
    • Why travelling the world is so important for our survival
    • Flag Theory and what is Sam attempting to implement in his life
    • Why Flag Theory is not reserved for the ultra-wealthy or even the wealthy

    2nd Passport

    Another of Mikkel's favourite topics, obtaining a 2nd Passport. A number of guests on The Expat Money Show have discussed 2nd passports. Listen to Ep 036: Jim Rogers as they discuss living and working in Singapore.

    Final Thoughts

    Flag Theory, SEO, Family, and Unschooling. What an episode! I loved my hour spent with Sam McRoberts as we talk about living life as an expat entrepreneur. Travelling the world with his family and allowing his 7-year-old son to learn the education that's ultimately what's best for him, not an education that is instilled upon us by our government.

    041: Oren Klaff – Learn To Pitch Anything From The Guy Who Has Raised Over 2 Billion In Capital Aug 31, 2018

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ideas & 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???

    3 Major Takeaways

    1. People want what they can't have
    2. People chase that which moves away from them
    3. and People only value that which they pay for

    How can I reach Oren Klaff?

    Go to Amazon or Audibles and get his book Pitch Anything in audiobook form. Oren himself reads it and it truly is one of the best books I've ever read.

    Visit Pitch Mastery to discover Oren's top-level coaching: http://pitchmastery.com

    What's Coming Next For Oren Klaff?

    Oren's new book is called: The Users Guide to Power (working title), and I can't wait for it to come out. Watch for it on Amazon.

    Here's What Oren Can Help You With

    • How to Raise Capital
    • A 50% Higher Sales Conversion
    • Finally, Selling A Big Idea

    We've had some really fantastic authors and entrepreneurs on our podcast. Listen to Ep 40: Mike Michalowicz author of Profit First, or click here for Ep 003: Tyron Giuliani who chats about Lead Generation and International Business Opportunities.

    Here is a recent interview we did with Grant Cardone, one of my mentors. Grant talks about the Millionaire Mindset. If you haven't had a chance to listen in, do so, the episode is brilliant!

    If you're more of a reader, here are a few articles I think you'll enjoy!

    Why Investment Seminars are so Vital for your Business Health

    Final Thoughts

    What a powerhouse Oren Klaff is. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting and discussing his techniques for success. There's just one thing... I wanted to know about this $3500 sandwich I got insiders info on! Oren promised me that after his new book: The Users Guide to Power comes out, he'll come back on The Expat Money Show and tell us his story! I look forward to that day!

    Profit First

    We talked about Mike Michalowicz's book: Profit First. He states that you should give your accountant this book, as they know your business. 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!

This may all seem foreign to you, but Mike assures us that if you follow the rules of Profit First and implement these bank accounts, you will not only be more profitable, you will be able to eradicate Entrepreneurial poverty in your business forever.

    It Takes Money to Make Money

    As Mike Michalowicz states: 'whoever said this is a jerk!' This statement is absolutely false. Are you asking, 'how do I make money with less money?' Listen to the episode and you'll learn this most valuable lesson.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    Award-winning freelance writer and essayist, Frank Bures, shares his unique perspective on the world he has lived in and written about in depth. As a world-renowned Travel Writer, Frank talks about the historical features and the geography of a city/country, that we have no idea exist and because of that, we have become fascinated with his ability to see and to write about the most interesting of cultural differences.

    How Does a Travel Writer Get Started

    Frank Bures began his love of language and travel when he was young and his family took in an exchange student from Italy. A few years later he returned the favour and lived with this boys family back in Italy. He was immersed in the culture and language and learned how to speak Italian with the locals. Find out how he learned to speak Italian quickly and efficiently! In Ep 033: Tim Leffel shares his love of travel and how his career blossomed and he became such an amazing Travel Writer.

    Teaching English as a Second Language

    If you've ever considered teaching English as a second language overseas, then listen to this episode as Frank Bures tells his story of first living in Tanzania learning Swahili and teaching English, to living in the south of Thailand with his wife, in a small town called Yala earning their living as teachers.

    Getting Paid as a Travel Writer

    I'm sure many of you love the idea of being a Travel Writer and seeing the world. There are a few ways to get paid to do what you love and Frank Bures tells us how he and his colleagues interact with Editors and Publishers.

    The other question you may ask is, do I write first? then get a publisher? or do I wait for an assignment? Great questions and Frank Bures takes us all through that in detail.

    What is a Freelance Writer and Essayist

    You may be wondering what it takes to be a freelance writer or essayist. Do you need a degree? What are the different styles of writing? Are they important? Frank walks us through his style of writing and how he has become such a prolific writer. He also talks about how he gets his inspiration, where it comes from and why he writes.

    Countries Discussed in Detail

    • Uganda
    • Rwanda
    • Djibouti
    • Nigeria
    • Tanzania
    • and more!

    Bucket List Travel Countries

    Mikkel Thorup and Frank Bures talk about their bucket list. We know that Mikkel has wanted to go to Mali, Africa for 20 years. Do you have a destination you've always wanted to visit? The world offers such an education for those that go and immerse themselves in the language, heritage, cultural differences.

    What's next for Frank Bares?

    Like so many of my guests, Frank and his family want to travel for a year; he says to mostly Spanish speaking countries as his children are locally immersed in Spanish in Minneapolis, and teach their children along the way. Similar to Ep 032: David McKeegan and his family. Living and working and travelling the world! It really doesn't get any better than that.

    038: Gundi Gabrielle – How To Self Publish Ten #1 Best Selling Books While Travelling The World Aug 10, 2018

    Ever wondered what it would be like to travel the world for free, for as long as you want, staying as long as you would like in any one destination? Then this interview with Gundi Gabrielle is for you. Listen in to hear from a 10 x best selling author on Amazon, Gundi Gabrielle, and her thoughts on how to self-publish, and how to have your business on Auto-Pilot!

    Gundi's favourite places on earth!

    Travelling the world really changes your outlook on life. In this interview with Gundi Gabrielle, we go into depth about her travels in Spain, Bali, Thailand and in South Africa, it reminds me of my own travels. Recently, in Ep 036: Jim Rogers, we talked about the most dangerous places to travel alone. Gundi Gabrielle shares some of her stories about places that she was told NEVER to travel to, and just using common sense she was able to view the amazing scenery and meet the most wonderful people. Had she listened to all the naysayers she never would have lived her dream. Don't let fear stop you from experiencing the wonders of our world.

    Have you been to your Urgent Countries?

    This is a great question for so many of you? Have you seen all you want to see? Are you just at the beginning of your travel life or have you done all you want to do? Mikkel & Gundi talk about all of the countries they've been to and where they still want to go.

    The World of Self Publishing

    Should you Publish your book FIRST before you have a following? or LAST after having an audience to sell to? Gundi Gabrielle says, 'start with the end in mind'. Write the book FIRST, then everything else will follow. It's not how most entrepreneurs have done it, but hearing Gundi's tale of success, I'd say to those that are listening...try it! It has worked for Gundi Gabrielle and given her some amazing results

    We talk about a power launch; how to write your first book and become #1 best seller on Amazon in just 4 weeks. Don't think it can be done, Gundi will tell you differently.

    What does your business look like on Auto Pilot?

    Would you like your business to be on Auto Pilot...every day you wake up and someone has either purchased a book or one of your courses? Make sure you listen carefully, Gundi tells us all how she has done it and how you can too!

    What's in the future for SassyZenGirl and where can we find her:

    Free Webinar: https://DreamClientsOnAutoPilot.com

    Final Thoughts

    I loved doing this interview with Gundi Gabrielle! From being a Classical Musician that needed a change to Cat Sitting in South Africa to finally having her amazing business SassyZenGirl on autopilot! Wow! What an amazing life Gundi has created for herself! For all of you that wonder 'what else is there', make sure you listen in as Gundi Gabrielle walks us through what it takes to leave a job that no longer satisfies the needs you have and to create a really nice life for yourself with some well thought out plans.

    037: Zak Slayback – How To Land Your Dream Job Abroad Aug 03, 2018

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Listen in as Zak & Mikkel discuss

    • The Trust Factor
    • Attractive Character
    • Call to Action (CTA)
    • An Incentive Map
    • The Big 5 Copywriting voices (which one are you?)

    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:

    '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'

    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.

    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!

    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 people get ahead in their careers.

    Zak Slayback's New Book

    'How to Get Ahead' will be out early next year. If you've ever written your own book, you know how much hard work and effort is necessary to build a really successful, worth reading book. I believe that Zak has the tenacity and fortitude to create such a product.

    How To Find Zak Slayback

    Why You Need to Talk to Zak Slayback

    If you want to get hired at a 'startup job' or a 'high growth company' or a company that still has the decision-maker that is still accessible to people, then Zak is your guy!

    Final Thoughts on My Interview with Zak Slayback

    I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with Zak Slayback. He addresses where things go wrong early, right from the time you email a prospect, and works with you all the way through so that you can land that dream job you've always wanted. Over the years I've had discussions with people that don't know what to do with their lives and didn't learn it in high school or college. Zak walks people through finding what their passionate about and working through all the obstacles that most people deal with. In the end, you have a job you love!

    036: Jim Rogers – North Korea, China, Mandarin And The Current State Of Education Jul 27, 2018

    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.

    Jim Rogers is a world-renowned investor, famously known for his co-founding of the Quantum Fund. 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!)

    Jim Rogers Talks about his Current thoughts on Education

    On this episode of The Expat Money Show, 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. 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.

    As with many of the guests, education is such an important topic. To hear from another multimillionaire entrepreneur on education listen to this fantastic interview with Jim Cockrum.

    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.

    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.

    Jim Rogers claims this was the best decision of his life. His two girls are now the center of his universe, in fact, his 2009: 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. This may spark some creativity in yourself for your children to follow!

    Jim Rogers Opinion on Mandarin

    Mikkel and Jim discuss in lengths about what they believe the most important languages their children should speak. Due to the fact that Jim and his family live in Singapore, his two daughters are fluent in Mandarin and have actually won awards for the best Mandarin Speakers in the Nation. Jim believes that this is the second most important language to learn, behind English.

    In Ep: 025 Mikkel shares his own opinions about China and Mandarin and what he is doing in his own life to prepare.

    Jim Rogers Books

    • 1994: Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers
    • 2003: Adventure Capitalist: The Ultimate Road Trip
    • 2004: Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in the World's Greatest Market
    • 2009: A Gift to My Children: A Father's Lessons For Life and Investing
    • 2013: Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets

    Jim Rogers talks about the possibility of a new book

    Is there a new book on the horizon? What would the topic be? Jim promised Mikkel that the next time he was in Singapore to bring his copies of his book (He has all of them!) and he would be happy to sign them! I’m pretty confident that Mikkel will hold him to his word!! Jim's wife Paige has written her own book called 'Don't Call Me Mrs. Rogers' which will be due out in September. Maybe when Mikkel visits Singapore Paige will autograph her book and the girls can autograph in Chinese!

    Is Jim Rogers Bullish or Bearish?

    Are you wondering about the next Bear Market? What North Korea will look like in 20 years? What can we expect from China? Then this interview is for you!

    Mikkel Thorup's Personal Thoughts on his Interview with Jim Rogers

    Jim has been an idol of mine for many years and I wanted to hear him recount some of the crazy stories while on his journey around the world. His story about arriving in Botswana and finding the stock exchange and deciding to invest in all of the companies listed! (You just have to listen in to hear this story!)

    I ask Jim about a Safe Investment for my listeners! You can only imagine his response! Jim shares what his investment portfolio looks like, what he expects for the future and what we should all be investing in!

    We then go into detail about some of the most dangerous countries on the planet (everyone warning us to never ever go there). Jim and I list some of these countries and between the two of us, I think we’ve been to them all!

    Final Thoughts on this Interview with Jim Rogers

    Jim Rogers has lived an amazingly wonderful life doing what he loves. Investing, guiding and writing about his adventures. Millions of people have gained a sense of knowledge from Jim and his ability to communicate with the public. Jim has been very influential in my life as both a human being and as an investor.

    035: Ben Hammersley – Artificial Intelligence And The Radical Changes That Will Happen In The Next 3-5 Years? Jul 20, 2018

    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.

    Let's start with the obvious..what is a Futurist? and why is it so important in our daily lives and in our businesses?

    FUTURIST

    'a person who studies the future and makes predictions about it based on current trends'

    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.

    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!

    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

    Mikkel get's 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!

    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.

    BEN'S WORDS TO LIVE BY:

    Pay attention to what's happening day to day and be responsible for your life!

    FINAL THOUGHTS

Ben is such an amazing guy, his lifes work is rewarding and comprehensive and in this interview, he really teaches us how if we take, watch and improve just 2 or 3 daily routines in our life a week, that's 36 unique changes we can make in our lives in one year. Imagine over 5 years and what an impact this will have on our efficiency!

    034: Michelle Dale – Using Virtual Assistants To Grow Your Business So You Can Be Location Independent Jul 13, 2018

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Michelle talks about her love of Egypt. The people, the culture, the smells...and as her and her family travel the world, living and working in several countries around the globe, they always consider Egypt home.

    Her story is fascinating and I believe that so many of you might just resonate with it. It is one of adversity and perseverance and pushing through those boundaries that were set by others to come out on top.

    Strong Females Travelling the world

    Certainly, we have been fortunate on The Expat Money Show to have a number of strong females like Nydia Monarrez, Trish Leto, and Mindy Stern. And now with Michelle Dale appearing as a guest on the podcast we really do have a rock star line up of Female Expat Entrepreneurs. I really hope this inspires other females to get out into the world, travel, build their business abroad and more than anything follow their dreams.

    IN A NUTSHELL

    I loved this interview with Michelle Dale because she has lived the life of her dreams. She started her journey at 24 with nothing and has created an extremely successful mentoring program, all while travelling the globe, getting married and having children... so inspiring.

    033: Tim Leffel – Expat Entrepreneur Shares What He Has Learned In His 3 Decades As A Professional Travel Writer Jul 06, 2018

    Tim Leffel, an award-winning travel writer and author of several travel books, including, Travel Writing 2.0: Earning Money From Your Travels in the New Media Landscape, and, A Better Life for Half the Price: How to prosper on less money in the cheapest places to live. Joins us on The Expat Money Show to talk about travel writing, life as an Expat Entrepreneur, and to give advice to new travel bloggers and travel writers in the industry.

    Tim started backpacking in the 90’s through a number of countries and learned how to make money. From teaching English to writing articles for hotels. Over the next 3 decades Tim Leffel’s journey has taken many turns along the way, so let’s see into the life of an entrepreneur Travel Writer!

    LIFE BEFORE THE INTERNET??

    Have you ever wondered what life was like before the internet? Before YouTube sensations, Adsense, and computers and there was only TV, News and a typewriter? And to travel as an entrepreneur travel writer was considerably more expensive and time-consuming. That’s where Tim started, long before what we know today was the norm in the world of blogging.

    With Tims experience and knowledge we break down how you can become successful in a career where you might see yourself in the next few years.

    Listen in with Mikkel and Tim as they talk about the secrets to being successful as an expat entrepreneur travel writer and blogger:

    • Being Focused
    • Having passion
    • The fundamentals of writing for a living
    • Is SEO really all that important
    • How often should I write
    • How often should I post
    • What’s the key to writing a good blog post

    Where to next?

    Ever wonder where someone who has been travel writing for 3 decades still hasn’t been to. We talk about that one special place that Tim and his family have yet to be to (hint: I lived there for 1 year as an expat).

    EXPAT ENTREPRENEURS

    It doesn't surprise me how many people leave their home to travel, to see the world and to educate themselves and their family. 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.

    LIVING OUTSIDE YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH

    Many Americans have figured out they can live somewhere else and not in the USA. Tim and his family live part time in Mexico and part-time in Florida. In this interview, we talk about a number of benefits to living outside your country of birth and how you really can make life work on your terms.

    I loved this interview with Tim Leffel because he is living the life of his dreams. He set out to do something he loved and has become an expert in his field. For an hour we talk about how he has made his dream a reality as an expat entrepreneur, and what you can do to follow in a similar path, and as one of my mentors always says, find someone who is having success doing what you want to do and model them...

    On The Expat Money Show, I aim to bring in the best expat entrepreneurs from around the globe who are doing some really incredible things. Tim Leffel shows us that patience is a virtue and that if you always do the very best you can do and stick to a plan you can have a truly wonderful life!

    David McKeegan and Mikkel Thorup talk in detail about what it takes to be an expat entrepreneur. How a young couples life looks like starting in NY City as students, moving to Barcelona Spain for an MBA program, starting their careers in Finance in London, England and realizing that they just didn’t want to raise a family with both parents working 12 hour days and how could they achieve their dream life.

Listen carefully because David and Mikkel talk about how a business is born and how you can create your business if you go about it methodically yet creatively.

    031: James Ellsmoor – How You Can Make A Difference In Small Island Nations With Renewable Energy And Sustainable Innovation Jun 22, 2018

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 that withstand hurricanes
    • The disappearance of small islands in the South Pacific and the difference between an Atoll and an island
    • What are the parallels, similarities and the economy between the Caribbean the South Pacific

    What is HOT in renewable energy?

    Batteries? Yes, batteries! Elon Musk and his influence in renewable energy and sustainable innovation. He’s my hero, I love this guy! What Elon has been able to bring to the forefront of innovation is amazing. With SpaceX and Tesla and he is working on bringing the price of batteries down in price so that everyone can take advantage of them.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

His fascination with the island communities will play out well in the long run, make sure you listen in to find out what’s being done to save these small island nations.

    030: Greg Rollett – The New Age Of Video Marketing Is Easier Than You Ever Imagined Jun 14, 2018

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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 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!

    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 on 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 love ‘Don’t be just any old Monkey’ (Find out who originally coined that phrase lol)

    In a Nutshell

    • Find out what discoverability is
    • Why Social Proof is so vitally important
    • What shooting a vertical video can do for your platform
    • How to add value to your videos
    • What should you spend $$ on to create an outstanding video
    • How to shine through all the other crap that’s out there
    • How to outperform EVERYONE in your genre
    • Tempo Pitch Cadence
    • Building your network

    As if that’s not enough, we discuss OmniPresence and if you listen to what Greg and I talk about you’ll understand this a whole lot better.

    Greg's Final Thought

    No one cares about how you look on camera. They don’t care if your hair is out of place, that you’ve buttoned up your shirt the wrong way, they just don’t care. What they do care about is your message. The message must be for them, and that it’s not about you!

    Greg’s advice for growing your business exponentially is amazing. Don’t miss this episode!

    029: Jim Cockrum – How To Do 25 Million In Sales On Amazon Jun 08, 2018

    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 & 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.

    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.

    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?

    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).

    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.

    Life Learning Just Never Stops

    What we learn from Jim is how to be a remarkable parent and how to be the best that you can be so that others will follow your lead. We spend a great deal of time discussing child-rearing tactics and how to lead a fulfilling life.

    Over and over again my guests show us that it’s not just about making money, it’s about the balance in your life between family and work. And how important this balance is to have a truly successful life. Jim teaches in such an amazing fashion and we can see why he is the best at what he does. If we implement these skills into our everyday life, our outcome is sure to improve.

    My Favorite Quote From The The Interview With Jim Cockrum

    I don’t care and neither does anyone else until you figure out how you’re going to serve others!!

    Listen in to hear what Jim’s best advice is and what his perspective on growing your business wildly!

    028: Nydia Monarrez – What It Takes To Dominate In The Hispanic Market Of 56 Million Americans Jun 01, 2018

    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).

    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!!

    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.

    027: Stephan Spencer – Breaking Down The 3 Pillars Of SEO May 25, 2018

    Today's returning guest on The Expat Money Show is Stephan Spencer and he's here to talk to us about the 3 pillars of SEO (along with a dozen other awesome concepts!)

    Last weeks episode of The Expat Money Show Stephan Spencer and I spent our time together talking about how what he did in his personal life showed up so dramatically in his business life. How his love of seminars, books, and conferences has made him such a powerhouse in the world of SEO.

    In this episode of the Expat Money Show Stephan Spencer gets down to the nitty gritty Science of SEO; how it works, why it works, and most importantly can you do it yourself? Then Stephan breaks down the 3 pillars of SEO and how to conceptually think about them when you produce content.

    We talk About the Big Questions that Everyone Wants to Know:

    What the Heck is SEO and Why is it so Important?

    When I wanted to know and understand WHAT SEO is. Stephan directed me to his 1000 page book, The Art of SEO (funny guy)

    Stephan explains that SEO is such a massive subject, with layers upon layers of understanding that it takes years to really master this Science. And he feels that if you attempt to do it by yourself, or you hire someone that doesn’t really understand SEO, you could do more harm than good. Often an expert in SEO is needed to be called in after you’ve tried to do it yourself and the process can take months to correct.

    Here is a great article that explains what SEO is

    We love our entrepreneurs! Especially this episode with Jim Cockrum, EP 029: How Creating Engaging Content on Social Media is Translating into 25 Million in Sales on Amazon.

    How about videos? Do you love video? Thinking of adding video in your business? Then here is a really great interview with Oren Klaff, author of Pitch Anything!

    I had so many questions for Stephan Spencer

    • What ARE the 3 pillars of SEO?
    • And can you Break down the 3 pillars of SEO?
    • Explain Keywords for me?
    • What can I do to rank higher on Google?
    • What is ‘Black Hat’ and ‘White Hat’?
    • Best resources for SEO
    • How do I hire someone I can trust to do my SEO?
    • How long should it take for a website to rank #1 on Google?
    • And on and on...

    Are you thinking about that one big question, same as me?

    What About Ranking Higher For Your Personal Name?

    I really want to own that first page of google for my own name. How can I do it, and how long will it take me? Stephan breaks down the way you can move into the top spot in Google and dominate that space!! (okay, maybe it’s just me, but Stepan rocks this answer!)

    Stephan has graciously given our audience the ability to read Chapter 7 of his book ‘The Art of SEO’ ‘How do I create great content’ which you can download free at MarketingSpeak.com/expat

    Lately, I’ve been getting a ton of mail about the last question I pose to my guest at the very end of each episode. (No hints). I have to laugh because it’s so much fun to spring this question on my guests and listen in for their reaction. Make sure you listen all the way to the end of my podcast because my question, and Stephans answer, are just awesome!!

    I am so excited that Stephan agreed to come back to The Expat Money Show to really let us see into his world of SEO and to break down the 3 Pillars of SEO.

These experiences radically changed who Stephan was, and because he changed himself, he was able to influence everyone around him in positive ways.

    In 1994 Stephan started down the path of studying for a Ph.D. in Chemistry and had a few websites on the side for fun to pay for his tuition in Med School then in 1999 Stephan decided to drop out of his PhD program realizing he could work from anywhere in the world instead and followed his passion for SEO, so he moved his family to New Zealand and began to dominate the SEO market.

    On The Expat Money Show, Stephan Spencer really shows us how to be at the top of our game and what is possible in life, business, health, and family when you are connected spiritually. We talk about what is possible. Stephan delves into his experiences of where he started from to where he is as an entrepreneur, speaker, coach and how being connected has created great wealth for him and his family and what he is able to do with his wealth, is all so inspiring!

    Stephan has offered listeners of The Expat Money Show his SEO Bull S#!t Detector and his SEO Hiring Blueprint completely FREE, you can download them now at MarketingSpeak.com/expat

    Passion, Self Awareness, Rish Taking - What Do These Have To Do With SEO?

    Everything! Listen in to hear what Stephan Spencer and Mikkel talk openly about:

    • The very best version of yourself
    • Stem Cell Therapy
    • Up-leveling your life & soul
    • Amazing guests on his podcast; Byron Katie, Oneness Monk, Tim Ferris
    • Longevity Escape Velocity? What the heck is this? And why you’ll love it!
    • And of course, how this all helped him to be one of the best SEO experts in the world

    During this interview, we chat about living abroad with your family. Over the past several months we have had several guests that have moved with their families and they share with us their trials and tribulation. If you're interested to hear more, EP 078 with Brandon Pearce, he tells us his story of leaving the US and setting up residence both in Mexico and in Bali. You'll love this interview!

    When you have finished listening to this episode with Stephan Spencer, please go directly to Part 2 of this interview. We just needed more time with Stephan, so here is Part 2: Stephan Spencer: Search Engine Optimization Expert Breaks Down the 3 Pillars of SEO

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    I loved this episode with Stephan Spencer. We talked about so many things, it was crazy. When the conversation began we just clicked and I know you'll be able to hear that straight away.

    Funnily enough, we never did get into SEO though, or Marketing, or business at all for that matter... we really just talked about life, higher consciousness, and being the best person you can be...

    So at the end of my hour with Stephan, I boldly asked him back on to the show so we could double down and focus solely on SEO for a complete episode.

    And Stephan said, "of course let's do it!" So we have broken Stephans interview into two parts, we discussed the concepts of success first, then in our next interview we’ll chat about the magic of SEO, or as Stephan calls it, SCIENCE!!

    024: Akbar Sheikh – If You Get Your Fundamentals Correct Success Is Automatic May 04, 2018

    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.

    You can learn more about Akbar Sheikh at https://akbarsheikh.com

    Mikkel Thorup & Akbar Sheikh at FHL 2018 in Orlando, FL.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    023: Erik Paquet – How to Unlock an Extra $20,000 Worth of Free Travel Using Frequent Flyer Miles Apr 27, 2018

    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

    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...

    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

    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. And if you want to keep up to date with every new episode of The Expat Money Show make sure you sign up for our Newsletter below. I send out heaps of amazing content that I don't share on Facebook or on my Website.

Think about creating an asset that will last forever and pay you dividends in the future.

    Live by the Calendar

    Write everything in your calendar, including time with family, time for yourself, time to learn, time to reflect. If it is important to you then you need to have it in the calendar. It's that simple, if it's not scheduled it will not get done.

    Every Minute of work has to be focused on a revenue event

    Make sure every minute you are working in the office that there is a direct correlation between what you are doing and generating revenue, and not just revenue, but revenue in the short term. It is important to be focused on rewards to help move you and your business forward.

    019: Dave Woodward – How A Sales Funnel Will Change Your Business Mar 30, 2018

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.


    018: Trish Leto – Why You Need To Use Facebook Live Videos To Grow Your Business Today, Even If You Are Shy Mar 23, 2018

    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.

    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

    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

    Here is a fabulous article from Facebook itself on how to use FB Live! Enjoy!

    015: Eyal Hertzog – Why Bancor A Decentralize Liquidity Network Will Change The World Mar 02, 2018

    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.

    You can learn more about the Bancor Network here:

    Website: https://about.bancor.network/

    Telegram: https://t.me/bancor

    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

    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 balance between Smart Tokens and their connectors.

    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.

    Amazing Entrepreneurs

    013: James Richards & Tim Smith – Selling Art As An Entrepreneur Feb 16, 2018

    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.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=C-b4vDUoQf0

    We are joined by James Richards and Tim Smith.

    I first met James Richards through a mutual entrepreneurial friend, Michael Chiang (From Episode #11 where he teaches us to create an app from scratch)

    James invited me for a private screening of Tim's work at his downtown penthouse apartment in Manhatten. I was struck how raw and uncensored the work was.

    Through many (often inebriated) discussions with James and others, I learned a lot about the underground art scene in New York and the entrepreneurial spirit that runs through it.

    This was a really interesting episode to create and I hope you get as much out of it as I did...

    In this episode you are going to learn:

    From the business side:

    • Tips for curating your own collection as an investment
    • Learning from your mistakes
    • Why having a personal network is so paramount

    From the creative side:

    • What's hot in the art scene today
    • Even artists need mentors
    • How to be honest with yourself
    • Why you need to always look forward

    011: Michael Chiang – Ninja Steps to Building An Application Feb 02, 2018

    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.

    Twitter: iAmMikeChiang

    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.

    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

    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:

    1. Reading news websites--1 hour, 5 minutes
    2. Checking social media--44 minutes
    3. Discussing non-work-related things with co-workers--40 minutes
    4. Searching for new jobs--26 minutes
    5. Taking smoke breaks--23 minutes
    6. Making calls to partners or friends--18 minutes
    7. Making hot drinks--17 minutes
    8. Texting or instant messaging--14 minutes
    9. Eating snacks--8 minutes
    10. 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.

    I really enjoyed recording this episode with Mihkel Sepp because the question of how to be productive has come up so many times in my own life... it really is easy to become distracted with that "Shiny object syndrome" that entrepreneurs are so well known for and fall down the rabbit hole of the internet.

    This episode of The Expat Money Show is so packed with actionable steps you can take in your life to increase your own productivity.


    006: Tony Medina – Building A Medical Tourism Business In Korea Dec 29, 2017

    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.

    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.

    You can learn more about Tony Medina and his company at:

    In this episode we discuss:

    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.

    Since recording this episode Tom Augenthaler has become a personal friend of mine and has advised me exactly what I should and should not be doing in regards to my influencer contracts.

    I believe that working with influencers is another strategy that all businesses should be looking towards, it's important to not count on only one stream of traffic to your business and influencer marketing is another way you can add to your pipeline, but as mentioned make sure your influencer contracts are clearly laid out so both parties are protected and is clear what is to be expected.
