Peter Schiff is the CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc. This is a conversation that I was originally a part of this year’s Expat Money Summit, and I wanted to share it with you today to give you a taste of the sort of exclusive content I bring to the Summit every year. 

Peter Schiff is someone who I have followed for years, and I think he brought tremendous value to the Summit with this conversation. Enjoy!

 

Listen to Peter’s take on the most recent trends in the price of gold and how it’s affected by inflation and government deficit spending.

Hear Peter’s early 2024 election predictions and what it will mean for the U.S. and global economy.

Find out why Peter fears what I have been saying all along - that when the crisis hits, the government will make it very difficult for Americans to escape. This is why I always emphasize acting now! 

Listen to Peter detail why failing prices, aka deflation, can lead to companies making more money, contrary to the popular opinion of many ‘mainstream’ economists. 

If you think the headlines showing 20% inflation looks bad, wait until you hear Peter’s breakdown of what sort of inflation we’ve really experienced in the last few years.

Find out why Peter believes the banks are currently in worse shape than they were during the 2008 crisis.

Will the Federal Reserve continue to attempt to fight inflation or just let the banks fail? Hear Peter break down this no-win situation. 

Hear Peter’s thoughts on why he didn’t get any mention in the film The Big Short for predicting the 2008 crisis. I had never heard him talk about this before!

Find out Peter's thoughts on some important topics like CBDCs, and a potential gold-backed BRICS currency. 

Lastly, you won't want to miss Peter's predictions on what's to come in 2024 - and how you can best prepare.

Peter Schiff on ‘X’

 

It was so great to finally speak to Peter Schiff and have him as a speaker at the Expat Money Summit. I have been following his work for years, and I’m so glad I was able to share this important discussion with everyone who attended the Summit and now with you all here today if you missed it then. 

Peter’s message echoes what I have been saying for years - the time to act to protect your wealth from the financial crisis that is unfolding is yesterday. Whether it’s getting your money into offshore investments or starting the process of acquiring a second passport, it’s essential to stop waiting around and take action. Those who do so will certainly be in a better position in the years ahead than those who sit around doom-scrolling all day. 

Until next time, I’ll see you all back here next Wednesday!

Benny Lewis on X

 

I was so glad to have Benny Lewis on the show. Believe it or not, I’ve been wanting to get him on since I first started this podcast over five years ago! As you can see Benny’s approach to learning a new language is vastly different from that of many of the language apps and programs you’ll typically find out there.

At the end of the day, there is simply nothing that can replace just getting in there and speaking the language, and the sooner you can start doing that regularly, the faster you’ll become a fluent communicator. 

Heck, if you start now, you could be well on your way to mastering a new language by next Wednesday's episode!

Paraguay is a new country for me and is the latest stop on my quest to try to tick off all of the countries in Central and South America. I saw all of Central America over 20 years ago, but there are still some South American countries that are on my bucket list. 

Today, you’ll not only learn about my time in Paraguay and my overall perspective on the country but also get a sense of the kind of things I look for when I am touring a new country for the first time, always with my listeners and clients in mind. 

 

Learn about my “hub and spoke” model for touring a country for the first time. 

Hear about a little mishap with our room upon arriving in Villa Rica and how I turned that into an excuse to have an incredible meal.

Listen to me describe our tour of a timber plantation, which included seeing a Guinness World Record-holding marvel!

I describe my visit to an exclusive German-speaking community (you read that right) in the middle of Paraguay!

Hear another of my tales of travel mishaps - this one involving my attempts to pay a Paraguayan cabbie. 

Learn how Paraguay has leveraged its hydroelectric power, not just to provide electricity for its own people but also by selling power to neighbouring Brazil. Brilliant!

I explain how the cheap electricity available in Paraguay has led to a boom in Bitcoin mining in the country - a unique potential area of investment to keep an eye on.

Listen to me break down several of the exciting real estate investment opportunities I got to check out there. While I can’t advise anyone to act just yet, there are definitely some projects to keep an eye on.

That wraps up my recap of my first time in Paraguay. As you can see, when I visit a country like this, I am there as much more than simply a tourist. Rather, I see myself as the first boots on the ground for any of my listeners or clients who might have an interest in pursuing residency or investments in that particular country. 

I really enjoyed the country and saw a lot of potential investment opportunities there. Be sure to bookmark our website, ExpatMoney.com and sign up for our newsletter to get a ton of content about Paraguay in the coming months.

We recently had a great exploration and investors tour in Uruguay, and I want to give you an inside look at the kind of exploratory tours I do with my private clients. 

These tours are so much fun, and today, you’ll get a little bit of insight into just how they are formatted and how these tours work overall. You’ll even hear some testimonials from actual clients who attended this tour in Uruguay.

This is really an inside look at the kind of tours I put together for my private clients to various countries, so if you decide to attend a tour in another country like Panama, you can expect a similar experience. 

Who knows, maybe you’ll even be able to join us on a future trip. Enjoy!

 

We’re making a huge push to sign up for our email newsletter, so I’m giving away my FREE special report, “Plan B Residencies and Instant Citizenships.”

With it, you’ll get a lot more of my personal thoughts on things that you don’t always get in my public-facing content on social media or even on the podcast. Plus, you’ll get the Expat Sunday Times delivered to your inbox each and every Sunday!

Well, there you have it! I hope you’ll see not only see the great potential in Uruguay as a Plan-B location but, more importantly come to understand the kind of due diligence that my clients and I put in before investing or pursuing residency in another country.

These aren't the sort of decisions to be made lightly, so no matter where you are on your expat journey, it’s important to start putting the wheels in motion and getting yourself informed about the options out here. That’s my mission here at the Expat Money Show. 

I’ll see you back here next Wednesday, where I’ll break down what I learned visiting the country of Paraguay on my own exploratory trip there. See you then!

In today’s episode, I am going to detail the recent trip that I made to Prague via Costa Rica, via Germany, and then on the way back through Turkey, Cuba, and then back to Panama. It was quite an adventure. And hopefully, there will be some suitable lessons in this one for you on what to do and what not to do when travelling abroad. Enjoy!

 

Listen to me let off some steam about my air travel woes, starting with the longest walk in airport history in Germany!

Hear why some fellow conference attendees were a little weirded about by our supposedly “masonic” hotel.

I discuss how I got to meet in person to plan the future of international cities - as discussed in last week’s episode - in my new advisory role on the board of Tipolis. 

Long-time listeners will get a real trip down memory lane with all the past podcast guests I got to meet while in Prague. It was really an all-star Expat Money lineup!

Hear about the presentations I gave, including the speech I gave on the often-overlooked emotional aspect of moving abroad.

If you thought my travel woes ended with my transfer through Germany, you’ll be blown away when you hear about the real drama that began as I departed via Turkey. 

Listen to how I wrapped up a loose end on my quest for a Turkish passport in what I hope will finally seal the deal. Be sure to check out my episode on Turkey for the backstory!

Did you really think the travel woes ended there? You will not believe what I dealt with on the last leg of my journey through Cuba. Seriously, this was just unreal!

I hope you enjoyed my little recap of my travels to and from Prague for this amazing Liberty in Our Lifetime conference. I never try to glorify things when I relay my experiences, and as you can tell, international travel isn’t always a walk in the park. This trip certainly had its low points, but in the end, it’s all a part of the adventure, and I’m certain you can take a few tips from my experiences. See you all next week!

Today’s guest is Titus Gebel, a German entrepreneur with a Ph.D. in International law. He is the inventor of the “Free Cities” concept and the founder of the Free Cities Foundation. He is also the CEO of Tipolis, where he is focused on creating and developing autonomous cities by partnering commercially with governments and special economic zones around the world. 

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Titus over the years as I have served as both an Ambassador for the Free Cities Foundation and a member of the Advisory Council for Tipolis, and I’m excited to share today’s conversation in which we discuss the future of what is now being rebranded as “International Cities.”

 

Listen to Titus detail how his ideas about free cities spawned from his frustration with politics. 

Hear about Titus’s unique background in politics, law and entrepreneurship that made him the ideal person to craft the vision of the free cities concept.

Learn about the many success stories that have emerged from the free cities model, including the widespread increase of special economic zones (SEZ’s).

Titus and I discuss the concept of “government as a service” and how the services we’re used to getting from coercive governments can be delivered through the free cities model.

Listen to Titus explain the new branding of “international cities” to counter the allergy governments have to the words “free” and “private.”

Titus and I roll our eyes together at the concept of the “social contract,” -  the terms of which seem to change based on the whims of whoever is enforcing it.

Hear Titus lay out the reasons why contractual governments are much better protectors of rights than the current coercive model. 

Titus hints at the regions where we may see some of these International Cities popping up in the coming years.

As you can tell from the episode, Titus and I are both incredibly optimistic about the future of what is now being dubbed “International Cities.” Even as the clouds of world war and economic calamity prospects loom, I always do my best to focus on the actions we can take towards achieving greater liberty, and the International Cities concept is one of the most exciting prospects ahead.

He writes the financial daily, The Daily Missive, and is the host and editor of The Essential Investor, a fundamental resource for individuals managing their money. 

Addison joins me today to discuss his perspective on the inevitable financial reckoning that he has been predicting for years. 

 

Hear Addison detail how his background in philosophy led him on an unexpected path that found him publishing books and a newsletter on finance.

Listen to Addison explain how the Federal Reserve’s money supply manipulations have led to recent bubbles in cryptocurrency, marijuana and AI-related equities.

Learn how Addison was “early, but not wrong,” about the current economic situation and why timing is the most challenging part of financial forecasting.  

Get Addison’s take on why we haven’t yet seen the great big global economic meltdown. Just what is holding things back from a collapse?

Addison and I discuss how world wars have historically been tied to massive financial crises and the parallels with today's global predicament.

Does the Federal Reserve still have the confiscated gold from the 1930’s? Addison and I ponder this question. 

Hear Addison lay out the trends in place for decades that have enabled the unprecedented totalitarian responses by governments in the last few years.

Lastly, Addison gives his thoughts on CBDCs and whether central banks can successfully implement them in the coming years.

Today I bring you the final part of my four-part series discussing my experience travelling in each of the four countries I visited on my recent trip. In previous episodes, I discussed Turkey, Georgia and Armenia. Be sure to check those out if you missed them.

This week, I’ll talk a bit about my time spent on the last leg of my trip in Azerbaijan. How did it compare to my experiences in Georgia, Turkey and Armenia? Which, in the end, has the most potential for expats? 

 

Tune in to hear how our initial impression of Azerbaijan of feeling like we were back in our old home of the UAE was quickly turned on its head once we arrived in Baku.

Listen to me break down how Azerbaijan is like a weird mix of several countries I’ve been to before, with minimal feeling of a culture of its’ own.

You’ll be shocked to hear how much of life in Azerbaijan is controlled by the government, and you can imagine how I felt about that. 

I describe the F1 race track that runs through the city streets of Baku, which has quite literally shaped the city.

Listen to my absolute indignation at our visit to what I called the “Museum of Propaganda” in Baku. 

Hear me describe the stark contrast between the feeling in the countryside vs the big city once we got out of Baku.

I explain how - much like in Armenia - the people of this country are deeply scarred by the conflicts with its neighbour. 

Listen to the story of our simply unbelievable cab driver, quite possibly the most incredible driver I’ve ever had. I can’t stop thinking about this!

Hear me break down Armenia’s truly horrendous response during the COVID hysteria. This is about as anti-liberty as it gets. 

Tune in for my final assessment of Azerbaijan and the three other nations I visited on this trip. Which has the best overall potential for expats?

267: Armenia Trip Report

266: Is Georgia A Good Plan B Location For Expats?

263: How To Get.A Turkish Passport

 

That’s it for my report on Azerbaijan, and that wraps my four-part series breaking down my trip, which included Turkey, Georgia and Armenia. Azerbaijan is a country that doesn’t get a ton of attention from expats - and for understandable reasons. But I always make a point to do my due diligence on the ground so I can speak real-world experience when informing my audience and client about their options for seeking more freedom in the world. 

Remember, there’s no “Shangri-La,” perfect libertarian country out there. It’s about finding the right balance that’s best for your own personal situation, and it’s my sincere hope that in-depth reports like the ones you’ve heard over the last month provide insights that you’ll never get from a tourist guidebook or a government website.

Today I am bringing you part three of my series, breaking down my experience in each of the four countries I visited on my recent trip. I already discussed Turkey and Georgia in recent episodes - be sure to go back and check those reports out as well. 

This week, I’ll discuss my time spent in the interesting country of Armenia. Does this country have the potential for expats? You’ll get all my thoughts in today’s episode. 

 

Tune in to hear how my initial first impression after taking the train into Armenia was quickly flipped around after I ventured downtown Yerevan.

Hear about the HUGE difference I noticed right away that put Armenia a notch above Georgia.

As with the Georgia episode, you’ll once again have to hear me rave about the incredible food. Which country’s food did I rank higher in the end?

Learn how I found Armenia to be more business-oriented and entrepreneurial than neighbouring Azerbaijan - which I’ll elaborate on in next week’s episode.

Listen for an inside look at my visit to a building site. How did the conditions hold up compared to the first world?

I give my take from the ground on how the geopolitics involving the war in Ukraine have affected the situation in Armenia. 

Find out how friendly I found the people in Armenia to be towards visitors compared with Georgia.

Learn how the Armenian genocide and the on-again, off-again war with Azerbaijan affect the country's people to this day.

Hear my final verdict on all aspects of Armenia for expats, from banking to the cost of living to the political situation.

266: Is Georgia A Good Plan B Location For Expats?

263; How To Get.A Turkish Passport

180: Residency and Citizenship Updates - Mikkel Thorup

 

That does it for Part 2 of my trip report, and I hope you all learned a lot about Armenia, a country that really goes under the radar. It’s a lovely place and one certainly worth visiting at a minimum. But it does bring a lot of baggage as far as a Plan-B location for expats goes, many of which concern the geopolitical situation and the constant problem with its’ neighbour, Azerbaijan.

Well, Azerbaijan just happened to be the next stop on my trip, and it will be the subject of next week’s episode of the Expat Money Show. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it, and I’ll see you next week!

236: Answering Common Expat Objections

226: My Travel Adventures From Around The Globe

206: From Canada to Turkey (Via Texas) An Expat Story - Mike & Ivy

 

As you can tell from this episode, I don’t like to sugarcoat anything or overhype a country when I am investigating it for clients and potential clients. As I’ve said many times, there is no “Shangri La” perfectly free country that exists, and that’s why I always set my feet on the ground in a country and go through residency processes myself so that I can relay the reality to my clients, and I take the same approach with this podcast when discussing these countries. 

As with any other country, Georgia has a mix of good and bad qualities, and only you can be the final judge on which countries strike the right chord with you.
