The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

036: Perspectives on Mandarin, China, North Korea, and Education Today – Jim Rogers


Listen Later

In this Interview with Jim Rogers, I get updated opinions on everything from North Korea and China to the Mandarin language and the current state of education around the world. Jim Rogers tells me what he is teaching his own children and where he, as an investor, is putting his own money today.
.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
  • Episode Focus: Jim Rogers and Mikkel Thorup discuss education, particularly for their children, and what kind will best prepare them for the future.
  • Jim's Book Insight: Moving to China or an Asian country offers children a rigorous education system, unlike in the USA.
  • Importance of Education: Education is a recurring topic with many guests, including multimillionaire entrepreneur Jim Cockrum.
  • Jim's Change of Heart: Initially, Jim Rogers did not want children, seeing them as a waste. Now, he believes everyone should have children and regrets not having them earlier.
  • Family Decision: After completing a world record trip in 2002, Jim decided to have children, which he claims was the best decision of his life.
  • Book for Daughters: His book "A Gift to My Children" was written for his daughters and might inspire others to do something similar.
  • Mandarin Importance: Jim believes Mandarin is the second most important language after English. His daughters, fluent in Mandarin, have won national awards in Singapore.
