  • Have you ever wished I would loosen up a little and tell you what I really think? I say this somewhat in jest, of course - long-time listeners know I am not really one to hold back and always strive to deliver my perspective in the most straightforward way possible.But I think you’ll find in this episode that I let loose a bit more than normal as I joined my friend Adam Carswell on his live show “Ancap Radio” on Twitter (or X, which I’ll never get used to saying…). I’m not sure what was in the air—perhaps it was the show's “live radio” format of the show—but I was in a certain kind of mood and really just let loose. I had such a fun time chatting with Adam and going on a number of rants, so I just had to share this one with you today. There’s even a special appearance from our mutual friend Doug Casey, who, of course, Expat Money Show listeners are more than familiar with. Enjoy this one - we sure did! WHERE TO FIND ANCAP RADIOFollow @AnCapRadio on XEmail Adam: [email protected] SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERIf you enjoy hearing my opinions as you did in this episode, be sure to sign up for our email newsletter, through which you’ll receive a steady stream of my opinions, as well as plenty of news and updates affecting the expat community.Sign up now, and you’ll also receive my FREE special report, “Plan B Residencies and Instant Citizenships.” RELATED EPISODES277: Mikkel Unleashed: A Raw Take On Today's Tumultuous World276: Mikkel's Travel Chronicles: 2023's Unforgettable Adventures265: Tips, Tricks & Strategies For Moving Abroad With Your Family CONCLUSIONI can honestly say this was one of the more enjoyable appearances on another show that I’ve had in quite some time. So often, I get asked the same questions over and over, and Adam is just great at keeping things conversational and really bringing out the rants that have been bubbling inside of me. Plus, you can never go wrong talking to Doug Casey. I highly encourage you to check out his live show when you get a chance. See you all next Wednesday.

  • What’s it really like to work with me? That’s exactly what my colleague Marc Clair asked several of my clients and partners last month during my 41st birthday bash in Panama. This came at the tail end of our Panama Expat Exploration & Investment Tour, where I spent the week helping clients craft their own Plan B, whether it be residencies, citizenships, or simply investing internationally and protecting their wealth. People often ask why I have spent so much time and resources building this company when I could easily retire on the beach somewhere and spend the rest of my days staring off into the sunset. Aside from the fact that I am simply not built that way and would completely lose my mind, you’ll see from these testimonials today what it’s really all about. More people than ever before are awakening to the threats to their freedom and wealth, and I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to help others dramatically improve their situation. In today’s episode, you will get a glimpse into what it’s really like to work with me, craft your own Plan B, and protect yourself and your family from the machinations of corrupt politicians around the globe.

Today’s episode is just for you.This week, I am going to share a recent webinar I held where I invited our new partner, Matt Calhoun from Equity Trust, to discuss how to take control of your retirement with a self-directed IRA and share strategies for using one to invest in foreign real estate. This really is a can’t-miss for my American friends. TODAY’S PRESENTATION ON USING SELF-DIRECTED IRAS FOR INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE Tune in to meet Matt, who was referred to me by a trusted real estate partner as the “best in the business” when it comes to understanding American retirement accounts and foreign real estate. Discover how Matt first became interested in the niche area of self-directed IRAs after previously being involved with more conventional mutual funds. Learn how a self-directed IRA is unique from most in that you can direct and manage your own portfolio, including the type of assets you invest in. Uncover the wide variety of assets that you can own using self-directed IRAs, from precious metals to cryptocurrency to international real estate. Do you already have an account that can fund a self-directed IRA without your realizing it? Find out the most common ways to fund self-directed IRAs. Learn the differences between a “traditional IRA” and a “Roth” IRA - and the tax implications of each. This knowledge is absolutely crucial for understanding how to use these types of accounts to your benefit properly. Discover the very few types of assets that retirement accounts are prohibited from managing. Cross these off your list of investment ideas for IRAs. Hear about the most common mistakes people make using self-directed IRAs so that you don’t make them yourself!

  • In today’s episode, I'm going to share with you the second part of the presentation I put together with my friend Fernando about the incredible, under-the-radar opportunities for real estate investment in Paraguay.I got to meet Fernando when I took a trip to Paraguay last year to explore the country on the ground, and we became not only fast friends but business partners as well. I was thrilled to have him come on and share everything he has learned living and investing in Paraguay. We also took some questions from attendees of the webinar as we recorded it live. If you missed last week’s episode, be sure to go back and listen to that one first so you’re all caught up.

  • In today’s episode, I'm going to do something a little bit different and share with you guys what has been going on with my health over the last two weeks or so. It has not been a great couple of weeks here for myself and my family, but I want to share this story with you because I think there is an excellent opportunity to impart some lessons, not only about the excellent healthcare system here in Panama but also about living overseas overall. You’ll hear it in my voice that I’m still not entirely back to 100%, but I wanted to get this one out while everything was fresh on my mind. I hope you find value in my experience and can use it to better prepare for your own expat future.  EXPAT HEALTH INSURANCEIf one thing should be clear from my story today, it is that it is absolutely essential to plan for the worst-case scenario when you are living abroad or travelling.

Dr. Paul is a former U.S. Congressman, ran for President three times, and is an accomplished author and speaker. Dr. Paul always has valuable insights to share from his perspective, both as an Austrian economist and a former U.S. politician and with everything going on in the world, I wanted to invite him back to get his perspective on the trends going into 2024, including the march toward a possible World War 3.  TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH DR. RON PAUL

He has more than 30 years of experience in the offshore space since his first citizenship sale in 1997.

  • Today’s guest is Peter Schiff, an American stockbroker, financial commentator and radio personality. He is the CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc. This is a conversation that I was originally a part of this year’s Expat Money Summit, and I wanted to share it with you today to give you a taste of the sort of exclusive content I bring to the Summit every year. Peter Schiff is someone who I have followed for years, and I think he brought tremendous value to the Summit with this conversation. Enjoy! TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH PETER SCHIFF Listen to Peter’s take on the most recent trends in the price of gold and how it’s affected by inflation and government deficit spending. Hear Peter’s early 2024 election predictions and what it will mean for the U.S. and global economy. Find out why Peter fears what I have been saying all along - that when the crisis hits, the government will make it very difficult for Americans to escape. This is why I always emphasize acting now! Listen to Peter detail why failing prices, aka deflation, can lead to companies making more money, contrary to the popular opinion of many ‘mainstream’ economists. If you think the headlines showing 20% inflation looks bad, wait until you hear Peter’s breakdown of what sort of inflation we’ve really experienced in the last few years. Find out why Peter believes the banks are currently in worse shape than they were during the 2008 crisis. Will the Federal Reserve continue to attempt to fight inflation or just let the banks fail? Hear Peter break down this no-win situation. Hear Peter’s thoughts on why he didn’t get any mention in the film The Big Short for predicting the 2008 crisis. I had never heard him talk about this before! Find out Peter's thoughts on some important topics like CBDCs, and a potential gold-backed BRICS currency. Lastly, you won't want to miss Peter's predictions on what's to come in 2024 - and how you can best prepare.
