The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Joseph El-Khoury, who has a Ph.D. in Applied Human Sciences from the University of Montreal and an MBA degree with a specialization in managing sustainability. Today, we will be discussing food autonomy and sustainable/ecological living based on Permaculture Design. These are topics that I have wanted to discuss in more detail for several months now.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JOEY EL-KHOURY What IS Permaculture Design? What does it include and can we achieve that in an optimum design? How a non-profit organization called ‘Gardens Without Borders’ made a huge difference to countries in West Africa, Lebanon, Costa Rica and Ecuador. Why being responsible for our own food, and helping to regenerate the ecosystems is so vitally important to our health on this planet. How we can grow food sustainably at the local level with minimum input in terms of financial investment, infrastructure and technology. Is it possible to live as a society and meet our basic needs altogether, collectively within the natural limits of the ecosystems and the environment? Joey and I discuss what he believes are best practices for us as human beings to ensure that our planet is sustainable and here for many, many years. We talk about the nurturing of our freedom while at the same time nurturing solidarity, and what kinds of challenges will arise. Best ideas ever for a permaculture mindset. I think you will really enjoy these concepts as they fall in line with your belief patterns. We discuss the tools in the toolbox and potential solutions on different aspects from different dimensions of what it means to organize ourselves as a society. The top 3 reasons why I left the Middle East and moved my family to Panama.  Joey shares his top 3 most important ideas when it comes to self-sufficiency and moving forward in the coming years and why this topic is vital for the existence of our future. How you and your family can get back to basics and protect your individual freedom and be able to make changes in your life to become more sustainable and take more responsibility for yourself.

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Larry Scharf, Senior Vice President of Scharf & Selden, Wealth Management of Raymond James. He specializes in portfolio management with a special passion for precious metals and mining companies. In this interview, we are focused on Larry's travels visiting dozens of mines around the world and his insights on investing in junior miners for fun and profit.   IN TODAY'S CONVERSATION Larry breaks down the difference between mines in a first-world country like Canada to mines in developing countries like Mongolia, I’m positive this will surprise you! What happens today, compared to mining in the early 80s, and how they can go back and mine the same area over again. And the money-making way that they wanted to mine silver from a bat cave in East Malaysia. The excitement involved taking an elevator down to the 1700 level of a mine, surrounded by rock everywhere you look and the mind-blowing fact that there’s only one way back out! How gold is leached out of the rock. I bet you have no idea how it’s done, the time it takes and what needs to be done to get ½  gram of gold. Great conversation about some of the more interesting countries in South America and how the government can really make a mess of things purely out of greed and which countries Larry will NEVER invest in.   Larry shares the companies he likes to work with best. Why understanding the culture, the people, the mentality and the work ethic and how everything fits together and plays very strongly into the performance of the mine or the investment itself, and what happens when you don’t do your due diligence. I asked Larry to walk me through the process of arriving in a new country, what is he looking for, and what is going to set off alarm bells or make him say ‘okay, this is it, I like it. Larry shares what his sweet spot is when he’s looking to invest for himself and his clients. Where does the company need to be for him to give them money and invest for his clients! Top tips for those of you who want to get into the mining space, either from the investment side or the hobby side.   HOW TO REACH LARRY SCHARF Phone or email at Raymond James: 203-635-5409 Raymond James 285 Riverside Avenue Westport, Connecticut 06880 Attn: Larry Scharf   RELATED EPISODES  188: Deep Dive On Privacy Coins And How To Stay Anonymous  158: Swen Lorenz - Investing in Russia For Massive Profits 137: Blockchain And The Future Of The Internet – Marco Wutzer   CONCLUSION I’ve loved the idea of mining and precious metals since I was young and started my travels across the globe. I’ve been to many private vaults around the world, but never have I been down 1 kilometre in a mine, or watched as they dig for gold! I just had so much fun chatting with Larry, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  Mentioned in this episode:Gold in the Caribbean—No Bank Can Touch ItFiat is failing. Banks are cracking.

Peter Young is the Managing Director of the Free Cities Foundation. He leads the operational management of the foundation, with oversight over project delivery, communications and finance. Before joining the Free Cities Foundation, he spent most of his career based in Beijing, supporting trade links between the UK and China.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH PETER How the growth of countries like Hong Kong, and Singapore have been so successful and why most countries chose not to adopt this kind of system even though they find them inspiring. Focusing on building a new Hong Kong and a new Singapore to give more people the choice regarding the kind of place they want to live in and what that might look like for the future. What do Honduras, El Salvador and West Africa have in common when it comes to governments and how their history can change what’s coming. What is a ZEDE? What do they do? Where are they located? And why should you even care? Where is the focus now for Free Private Cities? What can be done to ensure they are successful and that governments don’t come along and wipe them out with the stroke of a pen! Countries and projects that have ZEDEs, like Honduras, and what happens when they are started by a government that is no longer in power.  How all the work that goes into building a ZEDE can be disrupted and why having a strong legal foundation is so important. El Salvador… how are things on the ground with their adoption of Bitcoin? Panama and cryptocurrency. What does the future hold for this Latin American country?  Living in the most efficient and effective manner possible and what that can ultimately look like in the years to come. Lastly, we talk about Free Private Cities. What does the organization stand for? How do they work? And how do they actually help and make changes in these countries?    RELATED EPISODES 190: How To Build A Self Sustaining Libertarian Community In Latin America – Patrick Hiebert 182: Creating Your Freedom Cell Overseas - John Bush 172: Building A Community For Liberty Minded Entrepreneurs – Jason Stapleton   HOW TO REACH PETER YOUNG  www.freecities.net Twitter: FreePrivateCities   CONCLUSION I know you will enjoy this episode that I had with Peter Young.

Patrick Hiebert is the Co-Founder of EcoVillages, an eco-home and sustainable community design and development company based on libertarian values and the Founder of MavenNFT.io, a hard asset NFT marketplace.  EcoVillages has defined the “F.I.R.S.T. Community Certification” program whereby other eco-friendly and sustainability-based community developers can become certified as implementing best practices.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH PATRICK, Why being with like-minded freedom-lover is the only path forwards How self-sustainability and personal responsibility are your greatest defence for what is happening in the world Zero power bill to run your home or your business…imagine…wondering how that works? We talk about creating that for your home. We talk about the financial benefits of wind power, solar power, recycling, greywater…things vital for the future.  If you get separated from the grid or if there’s a problem with a hurricane or other type of natural disaster, are you ready? Will you be able to live? Big questions we answer here. Patrick explains F I R S T…you will want to know and understand the rationale behind this amazing concept of living. I wanted to know how a community will grow and be able to sustain itself, what the technology will be, the responsibilities, and how these types of things will be built. Patrick goes hog wild on the details! What happens to the greywater and the black water in this new community? Should we all be buying new eco-friendly soaps… an interesting question. How living in a country that grows fresh vegetables and fruits year-round is so different from countries in the Northern Climates, like Canada or Norway. If you think you can come down to countries like Panama or Nicaragua and use the same systems…think again! How vitally important it is to understand the culture, the history, the language, the food, and making friends with the local people and incorporating yourself into the new country you will now call home. If you’re looking at getting back to traditional values, and warm family values, then you’ll really enjoy this episode with Patrick and me. Two extremely important concepts…a self-sustainable lifestyle and like-minded people. It’s hard not to imagine what our world will look like in the future. We talk in detail about security. Are these communities walled? How will you be protected when you live in one of our communities? Will you feel safe? To all my American friends still up in the States, you’ll be excited to hear what’s new in Panama, and what you can now do that was once almost impossible! Think you’ll be bored living in a community with 300 homes in the middle of the mountains with a view of the ocean? Wondering what you’ll do every day? You will not believe what Patrick and his team have built in other countries, it will blow your mind!   Patrick explains an NFT and how it pertains to buying real estate. The benefits of using an NFT and how he’s taken a messy concept and made it really really easy. You’ll want to buy homes this way for the rest of your life.  Financially sustainable, living tax-free, growing your own food, producing your own energy and spending time with like-minded people…it doesn’t get much better than that.    RELATED EPISODES  185: Investing In Short-Term Rentals To Fund Your Expat Lifestyle – Tim Hubbard 183: How Woke Ideology Has Taken Over Education And What You Can Do To Defend Your Children 182: Creating Your Freedom Cell Overseas – John Bush   HOW TO REACH PATRICK HIEBERT Expat@EcoVillages.Life   CONCLUSION Building self-sustaining libertarian communities is one of the main things I am working on in the background these days. I have a lot going on, but this is at the top of the pile, I see it as the best path forwards for many of us.

Why learning a new language is so important when you move to a new country, and how best to accomplish this in the shortest period of time. Fergus recounts the dystopian reality of living and working in Venezuela at the peak of the conflict…crazy times. I chat with Fergus about what a complete totalitarian, psychopathic government can do to its beautiful people and a nation. Learn about a country where if you are a foreigner, earning a foreign income, you can have a really great life, with amazing culture and breathtaking landscapes. If you’re a meat-eater like me, we talk about the very best country to get your beef, they are #1 in my book. We talk openly about Canada and why the necessity for using cryptocurrency for financial sovereignty and privacy. This will shock you, especially if you are Canadian. Have you become a bit fat and happy or become lulled into a false sense of security, those days are over my friends. Listen as we discuss what the future could look like if things don’t change right now. I talk with Fergus about the insights and directions of Argentina. Will they keep going in the direction of socialism and Marxism? Very interesting for sure. And the last country we discuss is Peru…the question is, are they going down that Marxist route?   RELATED EPISODES  169: Best Foreign Language Learning Techniques, Strategies, And Methods For Shortcutting Your Language Learning Journey 164: Medical Tourism in Colombia  150: Six Months In Florianópolis, Brazil – Complete Update   HOW TO CONTACT FERGUS HODGSON https://twitter.com/FergHodgson www.econamericas.com   CONCLUSION Very knowledgeable guy Fergus is.

You won’t want to miss this amazing episode. Tumbling coins…is this a good idea? Or not? Is it possible to retain privacy on Bitcoin and if so, what are the protocols to make that happen. Monero…Zcash…how do they work? And why do we need something else if these coins are already doing their job? What happens when you leak your KYC data and what can go wrong when it does CBDC…what are they, how do they work and why should you even care? Tobias explains one way the government will get CBDC into the market. There are only 3 ways… listen in to hear which one they have chosen and why.

Hrvoje Morić is the host and producer of The Geopolitics & Empire Podcast and hails from the United States. He was bred between the two worlds of America and his ethnic homeland of Yugoslavia/Croatia, moving back and forth between the two countries. He is also a naturalized Mexican, fluent in English, Croato-Serbian and Spanish, and truly a proud citizen of all three nations! My conversation today with Hrvoje was not the usual happy-go-lucky fun podcast. Today, we talked in-depth about some real-life issues that are important for everyone to listen to and take notes Please don’t miss this really important episode.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH HRVOJE, Hrvoje talks about why he believes Covid 1984 began, and what the reasons are… this is truly insightful. The top 5 really important points to ensure your freedom in the coming years. I don’t think people truly understand the severity of what has gone down the past two years… We talk freely about which countries over the past two years have handled Covid 1984 and the mask mandates best and worst. What are people just not talking about and should… you will be amazed. If you are not prepared for what is coming, what is about to happen, then listen as Hrvoje and I discuss it… If you are scratching your head, trying to figure out what people are doing, and not being prepared, you’ll love this episode. If you don’t know much about the CBDC, Hrvoje and I talk about it…this is really worth listening to. So much so that I will do a complete episode just on this topic. Listen in to the debate whether crypto is for real or not… you be the judge, both sides have some really compelling arguments. What do you believe has happened these past 2 years? Are you in or are you out? Hrvoje and I have a nice little debate…what side of the fence will you fall on?  What you need to own come the future… you won’t believe it! And what not to own, I never actually gave this much thought, I will now for sure. We talk about the globalists, the technocrats, do you think they’ve overplayed their hand? Do you think that things are going to get better or are we all screwed?  We have to fight the good fight and do what honest people do. Injustice against evil, don’t sit down and let it come and hit you.   RELATED EPISODES 179: War In Ukraine And The Economic Ramifications – Swen Lorenz 162: How Privacy Can Protect You If They Come For You – Gabriel Custodiet 137: Blockchain And The Future Of The Internet – Marco Wutzer   HOW TO REACH HRVOJE MORIĆ  Geopolitics and Empire   CONCLUSION Well, I wouldn’t say this was the happiest episode we’ve ever done on Expat Money Show.
