As you can tell from this conversation, Joshua is incredibly knowledgeable about education. Most of his knowledge was acquired directly through the education of his own children while travelling the world. As an unschooling father myself, I have gleaned so much knowledge from Joshua’s experience.

This conversation went so well that it kept going close to another hour, which we will present to you this Wednesday in part three of my discussion with Joshua Sheats. See you then!

CONCLUSION

I was so glad to have Benny Lewis on the show. Believe it or not, I’ve been wanting to get him on since I first started this podcast over five years ago! As you can see Benny’s approach to learning a new language is vastly different from that of many of the language apps and programs you’ll typically find out there.

At the end of the day, there is simply nothing that can replace just getting in there and speaking the language, and the sooner you can start doing that regularly, the faster you’ll become a fluent communicator. 

Heck, if you start now, you could be well on your way to mastering a new language by next Wednesday’s episode!

Paraguay is a new country for me and is the latest stop on my quest to try to tick off all of the countries in Central and South America. I saw all of Central America over 20 years ago, but there are still some South American countries that are on my bucket list.

Today we are going to break from format a bit, as it has been a crazy week in the expat world, with a ton of news breaking that affects a number of popular CBI programs.

Unfortunately, none of it is good news.

I’m not here to sugarcoat things but rather to deliver the truth of what is going on in the world so that you can make the best decisions possible on your expat journey.

Tune into this special breaking news edition of the Expat Money Show, wherein I break down all of the changes that have occurred in the last week and how they will affect those looking to do citizenship-by-investment programs in certain countries.

I also provide some insight into my experience working through a St. Kitts CBI for myself. Luckily, having completed my paperwork before these changes, I will most likely be unaffected by this.

Enjoy the episode, and remember that the right time to act on your expat dreams is always ‘ASAP.’

CONCLUSION

It wasn’t fun to have to record this episode and deliver some tough news that is going to affect a lot of people who were in the process of working on CBIs in these affected regions. The best we can do is stay up to date on what is going on and plan accordingly.

I emphasize to my clients all the time to “act now” because you never know when these programs will change or just end altogether. This week is an unfortunate real-life example of just that.

Johnny HODL is a freedom advocate, podcast host, and digital nomad originally from the United Kingdom.

In 2021 he decided to permanently leave the UK after becoming disenfranchised by that government’s authoritarian covid policies. He now lives on the sunny Mexican Pacific coast, where he continues to work remotely in the Bitcoin industry.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY HODL

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

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.

Today I am going to recap the last incredible week in Panama, beginning with a hugely informative conference for private clients and culminating in my 40th birthday party.

The last week has been unbelievable. Clients flew in from every corner of the world, literally from everywhere.

I am still decompressing from a busy and eventful week, but I wanted to first stop and take the time to record this episode for you and update you all on some other goings on here at Expat Money while everything is fresh on my mind. 

PANAMA CONFERENCE AND BIRTHDAY PARTY RECAP

• I recap the start of the week with the investor’s conference I put on in Panama with private clients from diverse places like Germany, Thailand and New Zealand attending.
• I explain the difference between my “private” clients and my “regular” clients and how you can become one!
• This week highlights why I like to get to know my prospective clients personally before I take them on  – because I spend a LOT of time with them!
• The type of information provided at this conference would literally take months or even years of research to acquire on your own – offshore investing and residency is definitely not a ‘DIY’ type of thing.
• Meanwhile, we also formally launched The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico, which has already launched to #1 in the “libertarianism” category on Amazon!
• I also provide a preview of the upcoming trips I am planning in the next year for private clients. If these sounds interesting to you, read this important letter and consider if becoming a private is a good fit for you.
• Finally, I reflect on my 40th birthday party that was made so special by the 150 + attendees who travelled from places like Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, USA, etc. – all culminating in an amazing fireworks display!
• Ultimately, these events are about building a community and realizing that we aren’t the crazy ones out there. We in the Expat Money community are building a better and brighter future for ourselves while much of the world goes mad.

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode in which I’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.

I want to once again thank everyone who joined us in Panama and came out to celebrate my birthday.

And as I said earlier, and it really is worth repeating; this party is not about me…

It’s about you.

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.

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’s to come should you decide to become one. Enjoy!

• I give away some really top ideas on how to perform better, be more successful and be considerably happier, even though I work like crazy! Don’t miss this part!
• What can your life look like when you stop hoarding every dollar you make? Being open and free and abundant with it. Especially when you live in a country with a lower cost of living.

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.

Today, I’m going to discuss expat life in Aruba. I visited the country for a week in early January to really understand the immigration process, what taxes were like for individuals and businesses, and what the cost of living and lifestyle could offer an expat interested in living there.

In Today’s Episode, We Talk About

Michael Wedaa has travelled to more than 100 countries on six continents. His love of travel started in his youth when he visited many of the great national parks in the U.S. He then took his first major international trips to Europe, South America, and Asia in 2011. From there, he caught the travel bug and began taking four international trips per year. In 2020, he became the host of a travel TV show called The Layover Experience.  

HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE…

• Imagine visiting 100 countries! What does that take to accomplish? Michael shares with us what he’s done in his life over the last 10 years to make this happen in his life…and how you can too!
• What does it take for the love of travel to rule your life! I chat with Michael about how travel changed my life and the important lessons I’ve learned from the people I’ve met along the way.
• I bet you’re thinking…it’s so easy to go to London, Paris and Rome…but what about Iran, Egypt or Tanzania? Listen to how Michael visited those countries and his wild experiences.
• Michael and I share some great stories about the countries we’ve visited that people have been really afraid to travel to. 
• Have you imagined yourself as a writer? You’ve got some amazing plans and yet don’t know what the next steps are. Here Michael tells us how he started and finished writing his first book and I think you’ll really like this if you’re a budding author.
• I loved chatting with Michael about countries we still don’t know how to spell, or even pronounce, yet can’t wait to visit. Places most people are too scared to go to. Here are some really awesome tips!
• Michael shares some hilarious stories of his travels and the trouble you can get into when things happen that are out of your control. 
• Michaels YouTube Show is called ‘Layover Guru’. In today’s episode, Michael and I talk about how you can utilize your time on a layover of let’s say 6 – 24 hours. Are you like most people and just sit in the airport? Ya, I get that. But listen to this…Michael uses that time to see a new city or a new country that he may never get a chance to visit again. He shares his tips and tricks for everyone to enjoy.
• Is Covid still scaring you? Are you waiting for things to go back to normal? Michael talks about all of the travelling he’s done in the past 2 years and how you can make it a reality.

CONCLUSION:

I’ve never been the sort of guy that loved sitting in an airport, but I always just did it, no matter how long the wait was. I try to book the least amount of time between flights I can, but if I had much of a wait, I would sit in the business class lounge and work. 

But I have to say, this conversation with Michael Wedaa has really changed my mind. I think maybe using his tips and tricks for my next flight will greatly enhance my experience!  

Make sure you buy his book. It contains an absolute ton of information for both novice and seasoned travellers!

I’m excited to see what trouble I can get into in a new city or country!

Today’s guest is my very good friend Marc Clair, the co-founder, host and producer of the ‘Lions of Liberty’ podcast. Over the last eight years, Lions of Liberty has become a leading platform for libertarian voices in the alternative media. 

I have had the pleasure of joining him on his podcast multiple times and have even been able to assist him in his own expat journey overseas.

On today’s podcast, Marc and I discuss his expat journey leaving Los Angeles where he had lived for more than a decade to now living in Mexico City. We discuss the struggles and craziness of dealing with the Mexican government to get residency and in the USA to get a green card for his wife and stepson.

Here’s What We Discussed:

• First off, what is a libertarian? What does it mean to be a libertarian? Do we all think the same, do we have the same ideas…do we wave around a libertarian flag?
• How neither Marc nor I became overnight libertarians. It became our ideals, our way of life and what brought us to this point in our lives. I think you will love this conversation.
• Expat living is a vehicle towards freedom and liberty. Are you leaning towards leaving your home country? Wondering what all the hype is about. Marc and I discuss the real struggles of leaving your home and all the things you take for granted. 
• We talk about the little things that drive us crazy about living in Panama and Mexico and the old adage of ‘mañana‘. If you’re American or Canadian, you’ll feel our pain. 
• Marc talks about the nightmare of dealing with immigration in the USA and the time it has taken to complete the paperwork.
• And in the end, has it been worth it? All these extra steps, and time spent…has it been worth it? Being an expat, leaving your family behind? Going for a green card? Immigration?
• I talk a lot about being a libertarian and a lot of my guests are libertarians. If you are interested in the philosophy and really resonate with what we talk about, then this episode will speak to you.

CONCLUSION:

I had such an interesting conversation with Linda about living overseas with a spouse who has taken on a new job in different countries, 7 times. They were lucky enough to live in Japan twice and also one of my favourite places, Abu Dhabi UAE. 

Life can be daunting for a spouse that has their own career and is then asked by their spouse to give it up. Linda really understands what it takes to make the move and still keep her family together. If you’re thinking about moving, you’ll love this episode.
