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.

.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

• Episode Focus: Jim Rogers and Mikkel Thorup discuss education, particularly for their children, and what kind will best prepare them for the future.
• Jim’s Book Insight: Moving to China or an Asian country offers children a rigorous education system, unlike in the USA.
• Importance of Education: Education is a recurring topic with many guests, including multimillionaire entrepreneur Jim Cockrum.
• Jim’s Change of Heart: Initially, Jim Rogers did not want children, seeing them as a waste. Now, he believes everyone should have children and regrets not having them earlier.

• Book for Daughters: His book “A Gift to My Children” was written for his daughters and might inspire others to do something similar.

CONCLUSION

Self-learning is such an important topic to me, considering I have a rather short experience with formal education. I started failing out of school at 12 and by 15 I was completely done with high school and never went back. I have had to continually push myself harder than my peers to learn more and more so I could stay competitive in the marketplace and increase my own income.

CONCLUSION

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.
