127: Global Lockdowns and Safe Destinations to Consider – Jeffrey Tucker
Today's guest on The Expat Money Show is Jeffrey Tucker the Editorial Director for the American Institute for Economic Research. He is the author of many thousands of articles in the scholarly and popular press and nine books in 5 languages, most recently Liberty or Lockdown. He is also the editor for The Best of Mises.
I am super excited to be talking with Jeffrey today about the draconian lockdowns that have been taking place around the globe. Were they necessary? and have they solved the problems?
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
Freedom and Liberty
Central Planning
Herd Immunity
Political panic
Global lockdown policies
Choosing medieval strategies
Countries that chose not to lockdown
Countries that chose severe lockdowns and how they are doing
Texas, how the governor dealt with his lockdown strategy and what made him change his mind
Have we been primed by big Hollywood blockbuster movies, like Contagion to accept that this is real and we need to deal with it as such?
China, the start of it all. How are they doing? what did they do differently than the rest of the world
How states allowed diseased people into Long Term Care facilities because 'they needed the beds' in hospitals and they saved those beds for new cases of Covid.
Why anyone would pursue such terrible policies
Schools, concerts, Spring break...should they have been shut down?
Our natural immune system
Has the population been traumatized?
What countries are open for visitors right now?
and so much more!

126: Going Invisible: How to Disappear from Society – Gary Collins
Today’s guest on The Expat Money Show is Gary Collins, founder of ‘The Simple Life’ podcast. Today, we're going to be talking about going off the grid. What that looks like, how you can do it, and what you need to do before going off the grid.
.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
How does a former Special Agent, with tons of degrees, decide he wants to live off the grid?
What was the tipping point for Gary to make that move, to decide to sell everything?
Why would someone want to go off the grid? what are the benefits and what are the pitfalls?
If going off the grid was your dream, where would you start? what is the first thing you would have to do to make it a reality?
Gary Collins talks about how he found his first plot of land to build his off-the-grid house.
Is it easy to build your own home? how long can you expect it to take?
Mikkel and Gary talk about the phases that need to happen when you build your own home. What if there is no infrastructure, water, roads, septic? What are the priorities, where do you start?

CONCLUSION
Gary Collins is a really cool guy! I've never built a home myself and I just found it fascinating that a Special Agent would leave California, and go off the grid and build his own house.
