Free Cities Podcast 084 - Luke Thibodeau: Próspera Update, Pioneer Residents & New Projects

Timothy Allen talks with Luke Thibodeau.
Today's episode is a Próspera update show. Próspera is of course one of the Free Cities ecosystem’s flagship projects that everyone should be watching with an eagle eye as far as I’m concerned. The things that they are doing in Honduras and the pioneering issues that they are dealing with are laying the ground work for so many of the projects that we will see unfolding in the future.
In Prague last week I bumped into Próspera’s CFO Luke Thibodeau and he gave me the low down on all the latest developments in the jurisdiction, including the exciting news that residents have started moving into the Duna Residence, their flagship new build. We also discuss their legal battle with the Honduran government and all the latest info on new projects as well as how Luke sees the project evolving in the short to medium term.
This discussion is jam packed with great info and insights and I hope it inspires you to go and check it out for yourself. Or as Luke puts it: "It’s all theoretical until it happens”.
Enjoy the conversation.
