2025/12/17

The conventional path for young men is breaking down. College is more expensive than ever, jobs are disappearing faster than degrees can keep up, and an entire generation is being pushed into debt, confusion, and dependence before they’ve even had a chance to build real-world skills. More parents and young men are starting to ask a hard question: “If this system is failing, what actually works?”In today’s episode, I am joined by entrepreneur, rancher, and author Matt Smith to discuss The

What happens when a global crisis forces you to rethink everything? For Mark and Hazel, two long-time British expats, COVID wasn’t just an inconvenience.

380: Why Every Doctor Needs an International Plan-B

The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup ·

2025/11/12

Many medical professionals think of freedom in terms of choosing their own hours or running a private practice. But true freedom goes far beyond that — it’s about protecting your wealth, your mobility, and your options when the system turns against you. The world is changing fast, and without an international Plan-B, even the most accomplished physicians can find themselves boxed in by taxes, regulations and frivolous lawsuits.In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Alex from the Physicians and

We all grow up being told to “follow the system.” Go to school. Get a job. Obey the rules. But what if the system itself is broken and designed to constrain you?In today’s episode, I sit down with Matt Nettleton of the Default Profitable Podcast to discuss how being labelled “learning disabled” as a kid pushed me to reject public education, to drop out of school as a teenager, and to build a multimillion-dollar global business from scratch.

What’s it really like to build a full international Plan-B while still living in your home country, especially when you’ve got a family to think about? One client of mine, Ryan, has done exactly that. While married with four kids, he’s methodically built offshore investments, is in the process of securing second residencies, and has positioned his family for long-term freedom and security… all before making the move abroad. His story proves that protecting your future doesn’t require running; it

With gold reaching new highs nearly every day, more people are looking for ways to protect what they’ve built.

2025/10/08

I’ve been travelling the world for 25 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that freedom doesn’t just come from your passport; it comes from how you use it. Along the way, I’ve made every mistake imaginable—lost money, trusted the wrong people, and learned the hard way what real freedom actually costs. In today’s episode, I sit down with Keith Borie to share my story of how I went from being a dyslexic kid in Canada to owning property in ten countries and helping clients do the same. I delve into

The assassination of American political activist Charlie Kirk has rocked the world and affected the hearts of many.

What if the fastest-growing economy in the world was also one of the most underdeveloped? That’s the paradox of Guyana, a tiny, English-speaking nation tucked between Venezuela and Brazil.

After years and years of investing internationally, I’ve rarely seen a supply-demand gap as wide as what’s happening in Northeast Brazil right now. Tourism is booming, infrastructure is being built rapidly, and yet nobody is addressing the most obvious problem on the ground: where do the millions of visitors actually stay? In today’s episode, I’m joined by our trusted partner in Brazil, Michael Kruger, to walk you through a brand-new hotel-style investment opportunity I’m personally backing. You’ll

Over the past decade, Canada has rapidly slid from a respected nation to one that many people now see as a cautionary tale of the logical end of extreme progressivism taking over a political system. Meanwhile, things here in Latin America are moving in the opposite direction, as the region continues to shift towards embracing more pro-freedom and pro-business policies. I sat down for a conversation with my friend Shaun Newman to discuss the current state of Canada and how it contrasts with what

Owning precious metals offshore is one of the cornerstones of any fully formed Plan-B. With governments constantly inflating currencies and manipulating markets, owning history’s most reliable form of currency is a no-brainer. But keeping metals buried in your backyard or even in a local bank vault carries enormous risks. This is where the necessity of offshore vaults comes into play.
