It was so fun to have Wilfried on the show after working with him professionally and becoming good friends over the last few years. Wilfried is not only one of the world’s foremost experts in digital marketing but also, as you can tell from our conversation, certainly shares the values we embody here at Expat Money. 

Each of us has to find the right balance between utilizing Big Tech's tools for our personal and professional needs and avoiding the insidious traps set by technocrats. 

As discussed in the episode, this podcast remains very difficult to censor, so we can speak openly here (but for obvious reasons, you won’t find today’s conversation on YouTube).

I’ll see you next Wednesday for another episode of the Expat Money Show.

Mentioned in this episode:

Gold in the Caribbean—No Bank Can Touch It

Fiat is failing. Banks are cracking. And smart investors are moving their gold offshore—outside the system. I’ve partnered with a fully insured private vault in the Caribbean where you can buy, store, and protect physical gold… legally and securely. The entire account opening is done online—fast, private, and no nonsense. If you’re serious about protecting your wealth, get the details now at ExpatMoney.com/gold

Offshore Gold & Silver

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. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
