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. See you all next Wednesday on the podcast!Mentioned in this episode:
Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach
This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity.

If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
