The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

Latest Episodes:

200 Episodes, 200 Adventures: Celebrating Global Exploration Aug 10, 2022

Show notes

Today we celebrate episode 200. Holy moly, I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since I bought my first podcasting equipment and made the move into full-time podcasting. In my heart, I knew this was the right move, and every week, with more and more listeners and as we grow, you all reaffirm my commitment to the expat life and helping every one of you to move offshore.

HERE’S WHAT I DISCUSS IN THIS EPISODE

Listen in to hear what happens when you don’t know what you want but just go for it, starting something that you really enjoy doing, and what the end result can be.
I talk today about what I’ve been up to, what’s happening in the business, the new resources, the projects, and all the cool stuff out there to make your expat dream a reality. If you’re not an expat and want to be one, this is the episode for you.
Exciting news about The Expat Money Summit later in the fall. What you need to do right now. Don’t wait or you may be very disappointed.
Big announcements about our speakers for the Expat Money Summit; you’ll want to hear who will be there, so don’t miss this opportunity, and why it’s so important for you to attend, whether you buy a paid ticket or come for free, doesn’t really matter. You just need to be there.
I share with you the updates on our project with 10 Eighteen Uganda, the organization that changed my life, what has been happening this past year, and with your support, what we can expect for 2023 going forward. So very inspiring all the good this organization is doing. I know you’ll want to be a part of this.
Even though we have way over 6,300 members in our Facebook group in just under a year, you’ll laugh at how we get people to leave, saying goodbye on their way out the door. If you’re not part of our FB Group, now is the time to join.
If you hate Facebook as much as I do, then you’ll be happy to hear we are talking about creating a group outside of Facebook. I’ll give you some of the details today.
Peru. Is it the perfect place for an expat? Or is it the worst country ever? I’ll keep you updated on what to expect when you visit and what tourism is like there!
Why was I in Turkey, Rome, Cyprus and Lebanon in July? I think you’ll find this interesting. What would make me fly across the planet?
Fairly excited to tell you about what I have planned for my Private Clients in the future. What better way to learn about a new country than to visit and take friends with you?
Very best way to work directly with me to figure out how to go offshore, to deal with your tax situation, your immigration, your investments, the structuring of your business, the real estate, your home, where you're going to plan this all out, all of these types of things.
What else is planned for 2022? The exciting places that I will be going to for my clients? I’ve planned for some really great adventures.
To wrap up this episode, I share with all of you the many reviews of the Expat Money Show. Maybe you’ll hear your name mentioned if you were kind enough to leave me a review. If you haven’t done it yet, now is the time. Go to Apple Podcasts or iTunes; then, you guys can leave the show a review. This is a great thing to do.

CONCLUSION

I can’t believe I’ve recorded 200 episodes of The Expat Money Show. I’d like to say that when I started over 6 years ago, I knew exactly where I was going, who my clients would be and that it would be an easy journey, but of course, that would be disingenuous; the truth is that I keep learning and asking lots of questions from my subscribers, how I can help more and what is important to you guys, that's what has made all the difference in the world. In this episode, I let you in on some of the secrets from the past 6 years, but really I let you in on the future plans of Expat Money. Where we want to go and who will come along with us. Will that be you?

Show notes

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Foster Gamble. Researcher, Co-Writer and Visual Designer of the documentary THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take? and THRIVE II: This Is What It Takes. Previously, he was CEO of MindCenter Corporation and an instructor in the non-violent martial art of Aikido. He was the on-screen host for the PBS documentary Aikido - The Way of Harmony and created three consulting services — Interaction Dynamics, LifeBalance and Zonesport — which he has delivered throughout the country.

TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH FOSTER GAMBLE

Imagine growing up in the Proctor and Gamble family. What that life looked like and how having such a family can influence you.
What life is like when you realize that everything you’ve ever been taught, about money, history, and physics, was all a lie and not actually true?
We talk about humanity, spiritual energy, and interpersonal energy.
How a special code that the Gamble family has, overrides everything else in life and is one that you might want to incorporate into your life.
Foster and I talk about the solutions and how we can have more freedom, more liberty, more prosperity, and more happiness on our planet… I think you’ll love this conversation.
Great question for Foster, ‘how would you simplify the entire world situation into a sentence?’ Incredible answer.
We talk about the ‘non-aggression principle and if you’re not sure what that is, make sure to listen today. I believe once you understand fully, this will become part of your day-to-day life.
What is Mob Rule? I think you’ll be surprised how the government works and why this is so important to really understand what the consequences can be.
Are you awake yet? What will it take to wake you up? This might be the episode that helps you get from there to here!
You’ll be amazed at how many families are now homeschooling their children, especially after the last 2 years of government-run schools and finding out what kind of BS the teachers were teaching. Parents are finally waking up!
Foster explains why he and his wife wrote and produced their films, both Thrive and Thrive II and why you need to watch both of them ASAP!
I asked Foster, 'do you remember that pivotal moment when you were first red pilled? When your eyes were opened? Foster shares his story with us, don’t miss this.
We discuss ‘accurate thinking... what is it and why is it so important?
Finally, a simple question; given everything that we know, what are our chances? How are we doing? Wow…

CONCLUSION

If this is your first time listening to The Expat Money Show, then you are in for a surprise. This is a really important conversation that Foster Gamble and things that just need to be said. I believe a lot of people out there feel like they're alone going through this situation, whether that's awakening or finding freedom or becoming an expat, which is my very small niche in all of this. Many of you are out there, and it's just about connecting and working together. This might be an episode you listen to more than once. Enjoy!

198: Esperanto Explained: Chuck Smith’s Vision of Global Communication Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

Chuck Smith is the co-founder of the Polyglot Gathering, contributor of Duolingo’s Esperanto course and founder of the Esperanto Wikipedia, among other Esperanto and polyglot projects. He had the idea for a GPS device to find fellow Esperanto speakers while travelling through Brazil in 2002 but needed to wait 15 years for the technology to catch up, so he could pursue this dream. Now he looks forward to meeting the challenges ahead to help people everywhere connect to make the world a better place.

TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH CHUCK

What is Esperanto, where did it come from, and why is Esperanto important?
Why do people use Esperanto?
Does Esperanto have any politics attached to it? Is it a nation-state type of language?
What would a new community in a country look like if Esperanto were the main language, instead of many different languages being spoken?
Listen in to find out where the Universal Congress of Esperanto will take place this year, what country and when? You might want to attend!
Find out how many people speak Esperanto worldwide and how long it took them to grasp the new language.
If you are a monoglot speaker, and this is the first language you will learn outside of your native language, find out how difficult it will be to learn Esperanto.
What are the stumbling blocks of why Esperanto does not have 20 million or 200 million speakers?
#1 system recommended by Chuck Smith to learn Esperanto, hands down.
I talk with Chuck about his app ‘Amikumu,’ what it does and how we can all learn about other Esperanto speakers when we travel to new countries or a different city.
Chuck and I discuss how someone would really learn the language of Esperanto, what you need to know and do to be fluent and how long that would take.
You would be amazed at the number of hours required to pick up a new language, depending on what your native language is and what you want to learn in a new language. It’s not as bad as most people think.
Best advice, tips and tricks if you want to learn the language of Esperanto!

CONCLUSION

Honestly, if you want to learn a second language and you’re struggling with Spanish, French or German, then Esperanto is a great language to start with. The time allotted to become fluent is considerably shorter than any other language, and the benefits of learning Esperanto are really worth the effort.

197: Global Wealth Protection: Taxes, Citizenships, and Safety Deposit Boxes Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

Recently I was on Dann Reid’s podcast called the Culinary Libertarian. This was a fun podcast episode and I wanted to share it with you, especially if you are a new listener to our show. This is a great opportunity to understand what we are all about and how to get involved with a community of like-minded people.

Dann wanted to really understand the concept of dual citizenship and getting a second passport. This is great if you’re still unsure of how this is possible.
I explain, in detail, how to accomplish a Plan B that you will be happy with.
Top 4 ways to get a second passport for you and your family that you probably don’t know about, plus 1 extra easy way.
For those of you who don’t fully understand what citizenship by investment is, then you will learn a ton today!
Dann asks me about the countries in the world where you can buy a second passport? You will be amazed at where most are located, and why they sell their passports.
If you’re looking for a country that ticks all of the boxes, that magical place for safety, health, infrastructure, freedom, weather and more, find out if this place even exists, and if it does, where is it?
Find out what you need to do, and have, to get your citizenship by naturalization. It’s not as difficult as you may think.

Two words that you really should understand while discussing safety deposit boxes… what do they mean and why are they so important?

196: How To Make Friends With Warlords And Other Dangerous Individuals – Kolja Spori Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

Dr. Kolja Spori, Formula 1 Agent and Austrian Economist who has visited all 193 countries of the world. In his quest to seek truth and liberty, he met freedom fighters, guerrillas and warlords, such as the FARC leaders "Black Death" and Tanja Nijmeijer in the Colombian mountains, the Russian Nightwolf "Chirurg" in Crimea, Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov in Grozny, and Liberia's putschist Prince Johnson in Monrovia. Kolja narrowly missed the bombing of Donbas rebel leader Alexander Sakharchenko in the Separatist Cafè Donezk, and he won a staredown against US "Defence Secretary" Donald Rumsfeld in an elevator in Batumi. He is often known by his nickname Dr. Dangerzone and is the Ambassador of Germany to the World’s youngest country: Liberland, and he also happens to be a very dear friend of mine, so I’m really excited to have him on our show!

A GLIMPSE INTO MY CONVERSATION WITH KOLJA

What an intense conversation with Kolja on the most dangerous cities and countries you can travel to and what can happen at any moment while you are there.
What life is like when you have visited every UN country in the world, especially war zones…
We talk about THE most dangerous capital in the world and what the government does and doesn’t do to protect its citizens.
On the other hand, we talk about Russia and the freedom from government and what it’s like in Siberia. Such dichotomy.
I really wanted to understand what is it about these dangerous countries or the war zone that attracted Kolja to want to visit and see them, and why he continues to visit them again and again.
Listen in as Kolja describes war zones and crisis areas in Belfast, Northern Ireland… what it felt like and the process he undertook to be able to process what was happening… countries like Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo… each one more dangerous than the other
How hiring a local taxi driver in these horrific war zone areas who can explain why after so many years these things are still happening, can impact who you are as a person and why it’s so important to understand the truth.
Find out which city and country are Kolja’s most favourite of all the countries he has visited in his lifetime. I bet you’ll never guess.
How the information we get on television or in our mainstream media is the direct opposite of the reality on the ground, as we discuss several different countries and what life is actually like living there.
Extreme Traveller Congress… from billionaire to backpacker, how 150 participants come together, no matter what they’ve done in the past, and why it just doesn’t matter, all for the love of travel and adventure.
We discuss in detail what life is like for Kolja now, living in Monaco, after spending years travelling… is this still a passion for him?
I wanted to understand what Kolja has learned from visiting all of these different types of war zone countries and meeting the players that are involved? What have been his insights?
If you have an extra $250,000 sitting around and want to do something so radical that almost no one else on earth has done or even heard about, then listen as Kolja pitches you on his next adventure of 2023.

CONCLUSION

This was a fun hour spent with my friend, smoking a cigar and talking about our radical travels throughout our lives. I’m not a jealous person, but wow, Kolja’s experiences have been just mind-blowing for me. If you’re viewing war zones through the lens of mainstream media and believe what you see and read, this episode will open your eyes to the truth of what is actually happening on the ground.

The excitement involved taking an elevator down to the 1700 level of a mine, surrounded by rock everywhere you look and the mind-blowing fact that there’s only one way back out!

Larry shares what his sweet spot is when he’s looking to invest for himself and his clients. Where does the company need to be for him to give them money and invest for his clients!
