It typically features a parade of bureaucrats and technocrats, both elected and unelected, proudly touting their plans for “managing the world.” But this year, there were a couple of particularly interesting speeches from two world leaders who stand in stark opposition to one another. </span></p>

<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Tune in to hear how Canada’s PM stood on a global stage in Davos and echoed ideas we’ve been hammering for years: self-sufficiency, independence, and the end of blind trust in global systems</span></li>

It is a country that has watched its most capable citizens flee for more than a decade. But after the shocking capture and arrest of Nicolás Maduro, as you can imagine, I’ve been getting questions left and right from the Expat Money community about the situation in Venezuela. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In today’s episode, my co-host Marc Clair and I break down what this arrest means for international law and geopolitical power, what it may mean inside Venezuela, and why this is not a classic “regime change” story. We also speculate on the real motives behind the move, who may be pulling strings, and where this could go next.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In today’s episode, I sit down with Natalie Danelishen and Remso Martinez, two colleagues who knew Kirk’s world intimately, to unpack how Charlie’s story is more than just American politics; it’s a reminder of how fragile systems can be and how taking steps to protect a family’s future is more urgent than ever.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH LAURENCE EASEMAN</b></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen as Laurence recounts his fateful trip up a mountain that changed his life and led to him pivoting away from filmmaking into becoming a full-time advocate for personal sovereignty. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear how the onset of the COVID regime shut down Laurence’s business in the UK and triggered him back into full-time activism and his current efforts on the “Eyes Wide Open” podcast.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss the concept of activism &#8211; how it can make you a “moving target” like Laurence and why I </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">do not </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">consider myself an activist. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Find out why Laurence has embarked on his own expat journey and is currently pursuing residency in Portugal.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen in to hear how Portugal got put on the “red list” by the UK, banning its citizens from travelling there for not initially fully going along with the COVID narrative. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Laurence break down how the powers that be utilize their </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">illusion of authority </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">to manufacture consent for tyrannical measures. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Laurence and I talk about the dark side of technology and why we both find value in places that are somewhat “backward in time” with their technological systems. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss the absolute flood of Canadians fleeing during the last few years of the Trudeau regime, reflected in the fact that Canadians are now taking up the </span><b>majority</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> of my private clients. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Lastly, Laurence and I share in our passion for using homeschooling as a strategy to shield our children from psyops while depriving the state of its essential workers. </span></li>

<h2><b>CONCLUSION</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">I had a blast speaking to a kindred spirit in Laurence Easeman, who shares my passion for individual liberty and personal responsibility. It’s no wonder he is climbing so quickly in the podcast world, as his insights and understanding of the systems of control in place &#8211; and, more importantly, how to deal with them &#8211; are second to none. </span></p>

<h2><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH DAVE DECAMP</b></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen to Dave recount how he first became a passionate antiwar activist and how he was able to turn that passion into speaking about the subject full-time. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Dave break down the current geopolitical situation involving Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. and its NATO allies, and why we are closer to a hot war situation than at any time during the Cold War. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Dave breaks down how the situation between China and Taiwan is escalating simultaneously and how the United States has been sabre-rattling on the Asian front as well.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Dave and I discuss the role of Elon Musk in providing Starlink support to Ukraine. Is he really a hero, as many libertarians seem to believe, or is he another wolf in sheep’s clothing?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">What would a full-scale war involving the U.S., Russia, or China look like? Dave breaks down the frightening possibilities of “warfare we’ve never seen before.”</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Has World War III already begun? Dave and I discuss the idea that the war has already begun and how the definition of just what constitutes an act of war has shifted so drastically in recent years.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss Turkey&#8217;s unique role as a peace broker and a thorn in the side of NATO in many ways, even while being a member state. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">What does Vladimir Putin want, and how far is the U.S. willing to continue to escalate its vast funding of the war in Ukraine? Dave and I both ponder these questions.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We also dig into the role some surprising countries have played in escalating tensions, like my former home Canada and even the supposedly neutral Switzerland.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Dave and I cap things off by discussing what the best region of the world would be if a full World War really does break out. </span></li>
</ul>

<h2><b>CONCLUSION</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">As much as this is a conversation I didn’t necessarily want to have, I don’t think it helps us any to bury our heads in the sand as some truly dangerous situations play out across the globe. I’ve been listening to Dave’s podcast since he started, and he was the first person that came to mind when I decided I had to do an episode on the topic of a potential World War. I hope the information proves useful to you as you plan your expat journey. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">What an absolute blast it was talking to Tom!

The topics we touched on in this conversation are of utmost importance, especially to those in the expat community who are tuned in to what is happening worldwide. If you weren’t already, you’ve got to follow Tom Luongo for his take on geopolitics. </span></p>

<h2><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH ANTONY SAMMEROFF</b></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Antony and I discuss the nature of remote work and why Antony had already begun moving his work primarily online even before COVID policies shut the world down.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Antony describe the onset of the absurd COVID policies in his home country of Scotland and how that propelled him to take his business fully remote and to search for more sane parts of the world to reside in.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Antony points out an interesting side benefit of the COVID travel restrictions &#8211; spending time in a place previously hadn’t planned to &#8211; in this case, Mexico.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Antony describe how the “COVID years” altered people’s sense of what they are allowed to say and has caused many to self-censor with friends, family and the workplace. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Antony describes the push for “subjectivity” within his education and profession, which is often a cover for leftist bias within institutions. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss what it is like to hold “radical” (sane) positions in today’s post-COVID clown world and how Antony helps people in his practice deal with this feeling of friends, family and institutions acting like they are the crazy ones. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Antony and I discuss the concept of natural law and why so many libertarians were able to see through much of the BS of the last several years due to their ability to filter things through the natural law model.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Anthony’s opinion on “conspiracy theories” and mental health after a member of our Expat Money Forum on Facebook questioned my own mental health due to my emails criticizing the World Economic Forum. Does Antony think I’m nuts? You’ll have to listen to find out!</span></li>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>CONCLUSION</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">It was great connecting with Antony and learning about how he has helped others cope with this crazy post-COVID clown world we’ve been living in and how he himself coped by leaving his own country and becoming a digital nomad. This conversation was even a bit therapeutic for me &#8211; it’s always nice speaking with someone with a similar view of ethics and natural law.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Antony is a fantastic example of someone who saw greener pastures elsewhere and didn’t hesitate to take life into his own hands and explore them. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">I can’t believe some of the incredible people I’ve gotten to speak to doing this podcast, many of whom I admired years before this show, were even an idea in my mind.  It occurred to me that many of you hadn’t yet begun your expat journey when I started this podcast back in 2017, and there’s a decent chance you haven’t heard some of the biggest and best interviews that I’ve conducted over the years. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">So this week, we’ll be checking out a sampling of top names I’ve interviewed since starting the Expat Money Show &#8211; people like Doug Casey, Grant Cardone, Jim Rogers, and the great Congressman Ron Paul. Enjoy!</span></p>

<h2>CONCLUSION</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">While this episode may have been a look back into the past, believe it or not, we are just getting started here at Expat Money. This podcast has laid the groundwork for the efforts we are currently undertaking, helping thousands of freedom-loving individuals seek higher ground. The future is bright for those who take action to improve their lives by becoming an expat, and this show will remain the flagship for those who share our ideals. I&#8217;m greatly looking forward to the next 250 episodes and beyond, and I&#8217;m thrilled to have you all along for the journey. </span></p>

<h2><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH PARALLEL MIKE</b></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Discover how “Parallel Mike” was born. What caused Mike to go from pursuing professional sports to becoming a full-time organic farmer focused on self-sufficiency?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Mike describe how the COVID lockdowns prevented his initial move to Poland and what Poland was like when they finally did arrive later that year. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen as Mike and I discuss the difference between the enforcement of COVID rules “by the numbers” and the reality on the ground. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Mike lays out why he doesn’t believe massive systemic change will come from within the system itself but rather when the system finally </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">breaks</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> on its own. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Mike and I agree on the better strategy for individuals &#8211; to build your own systems and find higher ground to fight from. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Mike explain his outlook for the “dark days ahead” regarding hyperinflation and global debt liquidation. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen to Mike detail why he became part of a small Polish settlement rather than living in an expat community.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Mike breaks down some of the </span><b>practical steps</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> he has taken to further increase his independence from the system. Every single member of the Expat Money community can learn from this!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Mike and I agree that at this stage, focusing on </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">wealth preservation </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">is the key to financial preservation through what’s to come.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We delve into the looming threat of capital controls and why it’s so important to have the means to protect your wealth from government confiscation and seizure. </span></li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY HODL</b></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen to Johnny describe the evolution of his political views and how adopting Bitcoin in 2016 led him to a more freedom-oriented philosophy.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Johnny explains what was the </span><b>exodus point </b><span style="font-weight: 400">that prompted him to permanently leave his home country of the United Kingdom.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Johnny and I discuss the hubris displayed by many in the West supporting lockdowns while many of those in the developing world didn’t have the convenience of “just staying home.”</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We examine why the “soft admission” of guilt over the COVID narrative isn’t enough of a recanting from those supporting it.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Johnny and I talk about the lack of ethics in the COVID policies implemented and why </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">even if all the data were correct, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">it would still be a major ethical violation to enforce lockdowns, vaccine mandates, etc.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen to Johnny describe how, once you take the “red pill” regarding the nature of government, it’s hard not to see government at every level as a </span><b>monopoly on violence.</b></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">I drive home the notion that after 23 years of travelling the world and visiting over 100 countries, </span><b>voting with your feet, </b><span style="font-weight: 400">i.e. being an expat and utilizing offshore markets, is absolutely hands down the best solution I have ever found. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss how governments around the globe are starting to close their doors in various ways &#8211; including the looming threat of CBDCs.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Johnny provides his view of what “sovereignty” is and how others can reclaim more of their sovereignty as he has by seeking out more freedom abroad.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Johnny and I both reflect on how, once taking personal responsibility for every single aspect of your life and respect natural law, life simply gets better.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We have an interesting back-and-forth on the correlation between wealth and happiness. Does the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">ethics by which </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">the wealth is acquired affect the happiness of those who hold it? I’d love to hear my listener&#8217;s thoughts on this!</span></li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">I really enjoyed this conversation with Johnny HODL today, and I’m sure long-time listeners will understand exactly why I see him as a kindred spirit of sorts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">While my focus is on the actions you can take to achieve more freedom as an expat, the ethics behind those actions are vitally important, and it was great to hear about Johnny’s evolution on the subject and how he has now come to see individual sovereignty as an ethical ideal. You’re gonna love this one.</span></p>

<p>I am doing my best to stay current on the latest developments in privacy and security, and I was thrilled to speak with Josh, one of the most well-informed voices on these issues.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH JOSH SUMMERS</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen in as Josh recounts how living in highly surveilled China led him to take on a more complete understanding of privacy and surveillance issues.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Josh and I discuss how we bridge the gap between our own personal privacy while still maintaining a personal brand and business.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Josh explains why he sees himself as a</span><b> “privacy pragmatist”</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> in how he views finding the right level of achievable privacy for himself and his family.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen as Josh details the 3 different </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">solution sets</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> for privacy &#8211; which one is right for you?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We dig into how to look at the pros and cons of Big Tech companies and how even the biggest Big Tech villain can offer its own privacy advantages. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Josh lays out some of the most basic first steps that everyone with a baseline level of privacy concern should take. Have you done these yourself?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Josh explains the concept of “salting” a password on top of using a password manager. This is a great idea that I’ll be implementing right away!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Josh emphasize the importance of </span><b>holding the keys to your own security. </b><span style="font-weight: 400">Is your security in your own hands or that of a third party?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Josh and I dig into some of the more advanced techniques for securing your devices. I’ll be curious to hear if my audience has been utilizing any of these tactics!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss how to navigate the </span><b>KYC Problem</b><i><span style="font-weight: 400">. </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">How can you protect your identity when everyone requires you to prove it?</span></li>

Since then, he has spent “1 minute or more” in 81 countries, with an average time of 58 days per country. Over the past 12 months, he has travelled extensively throughout Africa and plans to spend at least another 12 months seeing what this amazing continent has to offer. Sam and I have a lot in common, and this discussion is chock full of nuggets of wisdom on every step of the expat journey. Enjoy!</p>
<h2><strong>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH SAM RIVELLO</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Listen in to hear Sam recount how he decided to try the “life experiment” of working while travelling “for two years” &#8211; which is still going strong <strong>thirteen years</strong> later! Wow!</li>
<li>Sam reflects on what it was like becoming a <a href="https://amzn.to/40z4DUa" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“digital nomad”</a> before the term was popularized &#8211; and the infrastructure challenges that came along with it.</li>
<li>We discuss the importance of setting personal boundaries when it comes to technology and the constant challenge of drawing a hard line between work and personal time.</li>
<li>Sam explains how he made the professional choice to <strong>take more long-term ownership and responsibility </strong>for his own lifestyle as a full-time expat, to ensure balance in all areas of life.</li>
<li>Listen as Sam breaks down the challenge of expats and those leading a digital lifestyle to break a lot of their old mindsets in order to make the lifestyle sustainable for them.</li>
<li>We discuss the concept of “nomad burnout” as Sam explains what led to his decision to live for an extended period of time as an expat in Scandinavia.</li>
<li>Sam details how the Danes have a very different concept of what entails “friendship” and the difficulty of breaking into pre-established friend groups there in Denmark.</li>
<li>We dig into our shared view that the expat lifestyle is a fantastic vehicle for learning, which makes it perfect for those with a passion for learning as Sam and I both hold.</li>
<li>We then discuss some of the reasons that many live vicariously through other expats instead of pulling the trigger and giving it a shot themselves. I’ve heard a ton of these before!</li>
<li>Sam lays out some of the top reasons that some expats end up burning out from the lifestyle. Be sure to listen in for his advice on how to make sure this doesn’t happen to you!</li>
<li>Listen to Sam’s insights on the key to learning a new language. Hint: there are no shortcuts!</li>

<h2><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></h2>
<p>Sam and I have a lot in common when it comes to our passion for travel as a challenge to learn and grow from. It was an absolute pleasure to learn from his efforts and struggles as an expat, and this discussion is a great example of the value of becoming an expat and what it can bring to your life.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">He has now published an updated version of the book titled </span><a href="https://amzn.to/3UlvAJa"><i>Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition – China’s EHM Strategy; Ways to Stop the Global Takeover</i></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, featuring 12 new chapters breaking down how China has essentially become the world’s “economic hitman.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Longtime listeners will surely recognize that John and I share some differing world views, and I certainly do not endorse his beliefs on things like white supremacy, climate change, vegetarianism and feminism, to name a few. Nonetheless, his experience and insights are incredibly valuable, and you will certainly learn a ton from this conversation. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH JOHN PERKINS:</b></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen in to hear John explain in detail what an “Economic Hitman” &#8211; or “EHM” strategy is from his own personal experience implementing it on behalf of first-world nations and banking elites and how he came to understand the dark side of what he was doing. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">John details the predatory nature of the EHM strategy and the devastating effects it has had on third-world nations. You won’t believe the shocking statistics about the average age in Africa. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"> </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear John reveal the nefarious methods the EHM strategists use to manipulate statistics like GDP to display positive effects on the economy while the underlying reality paints a much bleaker picture for the citizens of the nations targeted by it.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Then we discuss</span> <span style="font-weight: 400"> the difference between honest entrepreneurship &#8211; the kind that I practice in my business &#8211; and “cronyism” or “predatory capitalism.”</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">John explains how China has shifted its own economic hitman strategy under President Xi Jinping over the last ten years and their nefarious motivations for doing so. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We dig into what John describes as the “death economy” &#8211; as the EHM competition between the leaders of China and the United States wreaks </span><b>economic havoc</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> across the globe.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">John and I further discuss current global political issues and the different levels of attention conflicts in Ukraine and Yemen receive from the media and the general public.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">John drives home how many individuals have embraced changes in the last three years and the need to change our perception of our current socio-economic and governmental systems.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss the very different perceptions of “success” in Latin America and how things like spending time with family and friends often take higher priority than the gain of material goods in that region. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Lastly, we discuss China’s increasingly interwoven relationship with Latin America and the impacts, both positive and negative, on the region.</span></li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">When it comes to the nature of our global systems, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better expert than John Perkins. I know you’ll get great value from this conversation!</span></p>

<p>I enjoyed getting to know Jonathan and you are going to learn a ton from this conversation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH JONATHAN:</b></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen in to hear Jon share the story of how he grew up in an apocalyptic religious cult and how he “woke up” from the brainwashing, which helped him to see that things are not always as they seem.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Jon describes how foreseeing the forthcoming </span><b>fiscal nightmare </b><span style="font-weight: 400">in the United States led him to explore other options outside of his home country.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Jon describe the striking similarities with how politics created divisiveness in families over the last several years to his own experience rejecting the beliefs his family had raised him to hold. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We dig into our shared belief that it’s important not to condemn others for being behind where you are at any given moment in life. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Then we discuss</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> how Jon wound up choosing San Miguel de Allende, Mexico as his home, where he now lives with his wife and their daughter. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Learn what Jon views as the </span><b>surprising advantage</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> of living in a country with an extremely inefficient government. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Jon relays a hilarious experience he had when he first attempted to speak Spanish upon arriving in Mexico &#8211; he had me stitches!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss the concept of “stacking freedom” as opposed to trying to find a “Shangri-La”, and how not to become paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong decision.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Jon goes into detail describing the “melting pot” city of San Miguel de Allende, and how the locals have responded to the always-growing expat community there. You’ll be wanting to book your trip to San Miguel after hearing this!</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Then we discuss how Jonathan developed a passion for artisanal Mezcal that he sources from “the Disneyland of Mezcal” in Oaxaca, Mexico. I learned so much about Mezcal that I never knew before!</span></li>

<p>Tom didn&#8217;t let me off easy and really put me on the hot seat, bringing up a ton of objections that many who are first hearing about the expat lifestyle tend to come up with.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Answering Common Expat Objections</h2>
<ul>
<li class="p1">In this discussion, I respond to some common “black pilled&#8221; takes that Tom has heard about the negative side of expatriation, dispelling the notion that the advantages you can achieve outside your country of birth aren’t all that great when you break it down.</li>
<li class="p1">There is no Shangri-La &#8211; no perfect libertarian country in the world. It does not exist. But that&#8217;s not to be said that we can&#8217;t get more freedom in our lives by being overseas or by jurisdiction shopping.</li>
<li class="p1">I explain to Tom exactly what FATCA &#8211; the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act &#8211;  is and how it works, and why it’s even caused some Americans to go as far as to renounce their U.S. citizenship!</li>
<li class="p1">I address Tom’s concern that whatever problems you have in the U.S., they may very well be worse outside the U.S., as was the case in certain countries when it came to COVID restrictions.</li>
<li class="p1">Tom and I talk about how Americans can utilize the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to greatly reduce their tax burden while living overseas.</li>
<li>I break down the concept of citizenship by investment and how the process typically unfolds for those with substantial funds to invest overseas.</li>
<li>I lay out the many reasons to have a second passport, even if you do not plan to live outside your home country!</li>
<li>I provide some definitive first steps to take for those that have caught the expat bug and are ready to take their expat journey to the next level.</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>THE EXPAT MONEY SUMMIT</b></h2>
<p>We also discussed the <a href="https://2023.expatmoneysummit.com/">Expat Money Summit</a> a bit, and even though this was from last year, we will be doing another summit this year, so you can <a href="https://2023.expatmoneysummit.com">head to this link</a> and grab a FREE ticket to the largest expat event of the year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>CONCLUSION</b></h2>
<p>I hope you enjoyed today&#8217;s conversation on The Tom Woods Show. Tom is an excellent interviewer, and I loved how he pressed me on some of the common objections people who are first learning about the expat lifestyle often hold. These are questions that don&#8217;t often come up here on the Expat Money Show, where I primarily interview those who are already on the expat journey, so it was a great change of pace.</p>
<p>This is the perfect episode to share with a friend or family member who has expressed interest in the expat lifestyle but has been hesitant to pursue it further due to many of the objections addressed in this conversation.</p>
<p>See you all next Wednesday on the podcast!</p>

<p class="p1">The last week has been unbelievable. Clients flew in from every corner of the world, literally from everywhere.</p>
<p class="p1">I am still decompressing from a busy and eventful week, but I wanted to first stop and take the time to record this episode for you and update you all on some other goings on here at Expat Money while everything is fresh on my mind.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>PANAMA CONFERENCE AND BIRTHDAY PARTY RECAP</h2>
<ul>
<li>I recap the start of the week with the investor&#8217;s conference I put on in Panama with private clients from diverse places like Germany, Thailand and New Zealand attending.</li>
<li class="p1"><span style="font-weight: 400">I explain the difference between my &#8220;private&#8221; clients and my &#8220;regular&#8221; clients and how you can become one!</span></li>
<li class="p1"><span style="font-weight: 400">This week highlights why I like to get to know my prospective clients personally before I take them on  &#8211; because I spend a LOT of time with them!</span></li>
<li>The type of information provided at this conference would literally take months or even years of research to acquire on your own &#8211; offshore investing and residency is definitely not a &#8216;DIY&#8217; type of thing.</li>
<li>Meanwhile, we also formally launched <a href="https://amzn.to/3ynEThI">The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico</a>, which has already launched to #1 in the &#8220;libertarianism&#8221; category on Amazon!</li>
<li>I also provide a preview of the upcoming trips I am planning in the next year for private clients. If these sounds interesting to you, <a href="https://expatmoney.com/important-letter">read this important letter</a> and consider if becoming a private is a good fit for you.</li>
<li>Finally, I reflect on my 40th birthday party that was made so special by the 150 + attendees who travelled from places like Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, USA, etc. &#8211; all culminating in an amazing fireworks display!</li>
<li>Ultimately, these events are about building a community and realizing that we aren&#8217;t the crazy ones out there. We in the Expat Money community are building a better and brighter future for ourselves while much of the world goes mad.</li>
</ul>

<h2><b>PURCHASE THE EXPATS GUIDE TO MOVING TO MEXICO</b></h2>
<p>Get your own copy of the <a href="https://amzn.to/3ynEThI">Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico</a> and after you&#8217;ve purchased and read the book, do us a HUGE favour and leave us a great review on Amazon! This is a huge help in getting the book in front of more people.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>CONCLUSION</b></h2>
<p>I hope you enjoyed today&#8217;s episode in which I&#8217;ve provided just a small glimpse into the type of conferences, tours and celebrations I put together for my friends and clients in the Expat Money community.</p>
<p class="p1">I want to once again thank everyone who joined us in Panama and came out to celebrate my birthday.</p>
<p class="p1">And as I said earlier, and it really is worth repeating; this party is not about me&#8230;</p>
<p class="p1">It&#8217;s about you.</p>
<p class="p1">We are not just some online group or a podcast, no. We are a real-life community of people who understand what is going on in the world and will actually do something about it.</p>
<p class="p1">Our plan is to do many more private events this year for clients, so I hope this episode will serve as a great preview of what&#8217;s to come should you decide to become one. Enjoy!</p>

So today I am going to be reading the first few chapters from my recently published book, the <a href="https://amzn.to/3LfinPD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico</a>.</p>
<p>We haven&#8217;t even done an official launch of this book yet, so we need to help people realize it&#8217;s out there. In today&#8217;s reading, you&#8217;ll learn much of the basics of why so many expats have been moving to the beautiful country of Mexico.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico</h2>
<ul>
<li>The <a href="https://amzn.to/3ynEThI">Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico</a> is a comprehensive A to Z guide through everything you need to know about Mexico and the processes behind moving there or setting up a Plan B residency in the country.</li>
<li class="p1"><span style="font-weight: 400">Getting a residency in Mexico is not that complicated or expensive. So don’t fear; in my new book, I go into detail about what the process is like and how you can do it yourself.</span></li>
<li>I explain my first task as the author of this book &#8211; to discuss mindset. Are you ready for a change, and how will you accomplish it?</li>
<li>My goal is to present the full reality of Mexico to the fullest extent of my ability &#8211; the good, the bad, and the ugly.</li>
<li>I address some of the biggest fears many have of becoming an expat. Are any of these holding you back?</li>
<li>I outline some of the reasons Mexico can provide an excellent quality of life, including some advantages you might not expect.</li>
<li>I discuss who this book is NOT for. Yes, it won&#8217;t be for everyone.</li>
<li>I lay out the major differences between living in Mexico vs. living in places like the USA, Canada and Europe.</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>CONCLUSION</b></h2>
<p>I hope you enjoyed today&#8217;s episode, and I really do hope you enjoy the brand-new book.</p>
<p>After reading this book, you will have a thorough understanding of the types of visas to be able to move to Mexico, the specific requirements to get residencies, the safest cities to live in as an expat, the cost of living, and so much more!</p>
<p>Even in just the chapters covered here, you&#8217;ll leave with a solid idea of everything you need to take into account to determine if Mexico is the right country for you.</p>
<p>As I said in the episode, our plan is to release several of these, but for that to happen, I need lots of support from the community. We want to make this a number-one bestseller, and we need lots of reviews out there. So pick up the book and let me know what you think. Hopefully, you&#8217;ll get lots of value. Send me a note or put a review on Amazon. I&#8217;m going to read everything. Thanks!</p>

<h2><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></h2>
<p>What a fast-packed hour with Chris Temple. We talk about the predictions for the upcoming US elections. It&#8217;s a nightmare no matter who gets in I reckon, but it&#8217;s good to hear someone else back up the theories I&#8217;ve got. Discussing the Deep State was super interesting too. So much information, you just really have to listen to the entire hour.</p>
