Living Internationally: Lessons From 300 Episodes

Episode 300 Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
300 episodes—I truly can’t believe it!  In many ways, it feels like yesterday when I recorded the first episode of the Expat Money Show. At the same time, my life and this company have changed drastically since that day.  Today, I decided to invite my good friend and colleague Marc Clair—who has known me for nearly as long as I have been doing this show—to flip things around, act as my co-host this week, and interview me about how Expat Money and my own life have evolved over the 300 episodes of this podcast. Enjoy!  

TODAY’S 300TH EPISODE RETROSPECTIVE:

  • Take a peek behind the scenes and see how Expat Money isn’t just a one-man band with me in an office doing everything - I’ve now got a staff of close to 30, including today’s co-host. 
  • Listen to fill in the gap from my often-discussed early childhood & leaving Canada as a teenager to 17 years later when I started Expat Money. 
  • Where did the idea for Expat Money come from? Discover why I decided to combine my hobbies and interests and launch the Expat Money Show.
  • Uncover a simple truth about content creation: your content is going to suck flat-out when you start (and why you should embrace that!)
  • Why does my newsletter come from MikkelThorup.com and not ExpatMoney.com? I always get asked this, and there is a story behind it…
  • Find out which of my early podcast guests became a mentor and a crucial part of my own growth - a name many listeners will recognize!
  • Learn why I am anti-Malthusian when it comes to children—I recommend having as many children as possible! 
  • Tune in to hear Marc and I discuss how many people worldwide are realizing they have been lied to and that our governmental and educational systems, by and large, do not have our best interests at heart. 
  • Is imitation really the best form of flattery? Find out about the string of Expat Money posers and straight-up plagiarizers that have sprung up as Exapt Money has gained greater notoriety. 
  • Lastly, for those new around here who may think Expat Money is just a podcast, learn about everything else we do here, from our blog to our newsletter to our free webinars, annual online summit, in-person trips and conferences, and so much more in the years to come.
