248: Breaking Free: How Parallel Mike Constructs Parallel Societies
Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Parallel Mike. Mike is an organic farmer, investor and host of the Parallel Systems Broadcast.
Having spent most of his adult life in Britain while working as a counsellor and competing as an endurance athlete, Mike and his wife emigrated to Poland to focus on living a more self-sufficient and decentralized life.

CONCLUSION
It was great speaking to Mike, someone who views the world very much like I do. As I often discuss, I believe in taking action to preserve your wealth and increase your liberty. Mike is the perfect example of someone who sees the problems around him and takes action to put himself in a better position. Mike’s optimism is infectious, and it’s the same attitude I hope to inspire in my own listeners right here every week.

Mikkel, I enjoy hearing your interviewees and would like it to be less about you. Just a suggestion.
Hi there Sunny, thanks for your comment, the show has been (and will continue to be) a conversation back and forth between myself and my guest. It works for me, and if nothing else, I have to keep things fun for me after nearly 250 episodes
