Andrew predicts things are going to get harder for non-U.S citizens located in many Western countries. It’s a fact that’s not being talked about a lot, but many Western countries are going broke and that tends to mean more taxation on their citizens. So if you’re not a U.S. citizen, and think you might be in the clear, you may want to think again, and work towards getting that backup plan.

 

Key Takeaways:

Andrew's Editorial:

[2:00] Do I really need a second passport?

[3:20] Not a U.S. citizen, do I still need another passport?

[3:50] As U.S. citizens have FACTA, the rest of the world has information sharing between 101 countries.

[5:45] Other countries may be working to adopt more stricter tax policies like the U.S.

[7:35] Andrew believes countries will be making it difficult for you to leave.

[8:35] Not a U.S. citizen? High taxation won’t happen to you? You’d be surprised.

[9:00] Western governments are broke! They want your money!

[9:45] Tune in next week to find out which are the fastest growing passports out there!

 

Interview:

[11:10] How did Jack become a poker player?

[13:25] What was Jack’s goal for getting into business?

[20:00] The probability of being a successful poker player can be pretty low — what made Jack decide to keep pushing through?

[21:55] Are there a lot of people out there trying to get into the game, but just don’t have ‘it’?

[25:00] The UK is much more open to gambling than the U.S. is.

[26:35] The UK still considers you unemployed if you’re a ‘gambler.’

[27:35] Jack is located in Malta because it helps keep him focused.

[32:30] We often build up a mental block on ‘what it’ll be like,’ and it can freeze us right in our tracks.

[37:05] How does setting up a base and then traveling a bit outside of Malta work out for Jack?

[43:30] How does Jack go into ‘work mode’ when exploring a new country?

[44:50] Start with the end in mind.

[48:25] Will Jack ever be the next Dan Bilzerian of the poker world?

[54:10] How does going from a bigger island (UK) to a smaller island (Malta) feel?

Andrew has a lot of things in the works, a couple of those being books! Also, the one thing you must check out is the Nomad Passport Index (link in the show notes) that you can download for free. Andrew was recently in Baku, Azerbaijan, and met a man who quoted Yoda, “Do or do not, there is no try.” This is a great reminder for nomads who may feel ‘stuck’ in their circumstances. Either you do it, or you don’t. The choice is yours.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

Andrew's Editorial:

[1:25] Andrew admits he’s not very good at fanfare — launching something with a bang.

[2:10] So, here’s a list of fun and interesting things you can look forward to at The Nomad Capitalist.

[6:00] Remember, you either doing or you’re not doing.

[7:10] Andrew has noticed something while traveling. Many cultures don’t try to sell you on something. This item or service not for you? Ok, good luck!

[8:55] Remember, your reasons for not doing something are BS. Do or do not, there is no try.

[9:45] Fleeing from the law? Andrew is not for you!

[37:50] Will Paul ever go back to the UK?

[44:40] What is the one thing Paul sees nomads getting wrong, when it comes to getting leads?

Andrew discovered an article from The Guardian discussing how many of the software engineers in Silicon Valley are barely scraping by, despite making over six figures a year. Sometimes, you have to look outside, and attempt to break out of the system you’re in, in order to live a better-quality life. The good news is that people like Andrew and The Nomad Capitalist are here to help, if you want it.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

Andrew's Editorial:

[1:05] According to The Guardian, 6-figure-earning software engineers are barely scraping by in Silicon Valley.

[2:05] $160,000 a year is a terrible salary, according to one engineer.

[3:15] Everybody has different requirements and opinions on what a ‘good’ salary is.

[3:25] How much of that money is going to the state of California?

[5:15] Here’s a guy in Silicon Valley who feels like he doesn’t have options.

[6:45] This is what happens when you’re someone who doesn’t look for ways to break out of the system.

[7:30] Andrew and his team are here to break down the barriers.

[9:25] Isn’t it interesting how taxes are priced just right where everyone ends up at the end of the month with zero?

[10:05] There is an alternative, if that’s what you want!

 

Interview:

[11:25] Nathan is an expert in equity crowdfunding.

[12:55] How did Nathan get started?

[14:45] Why did Nathan leave investment banking?

[19:50] After Nathan quit his job, he did about 6 months of traveling around.

[23:05] Is there a place for everyone outside of the home country?

[25:45] Starting a business in Southeast Asia sounds great, but you’re the only one who will know whether it’s a good match for you or not.

[30:15] What kind of investor is a good fit for equity crowdfunding?

[35:35] How do companies know whether or not they’re a good fit?

[40:10] Equity crowdfunding is just another option that you can look into.

[45:25] Having a clear picture of what you want, will help you narrow down your options.

[48:25] You have to do pursue this nomadic lifestyle/business for the right reasons.

[53:45] As long as you know what you want, the things you need to do to get there are very easy to access.

Andrew is currently listening to an audio book by Bernard Roth called Achievement Habit. In the book, they talk about why your ‘reasons are BS’. Andrew agrees. Whatever might be holding you back right now to live the life of your dreams is BS! Don’t get sucked up in the excuses.

 

Key Takeaways:

[1:35] Andrew is currently listening to a book called Achievement Habit, by
Bernard Roth.

[11:00] Who is Corey?

[13:55] Was Corey ever afraid he was going to get sucked into the corporate machine when he took a job in Costa Rica?

[15:40] Central America’s culture is just a lot slower pace compared to everywhere else.

[19:00] How did Corey transition from the paradise job to entrepreneur?

[24:35] After being fired from his job in Costa Rica, Corey did not want to return to Canada.

[27:55] Costa Rica can make you lazy. You can quickly become that fat dude sitting at the beach bar.

[29:55] You have to challenge yourself by traveling elsewhere for periods of time, because Costa Rica moves slow.

[30:55] Corey is currently in Canada right now and he recently went out and bought two winter jackets — something he hasn’t done in 10 years.

[36:00] Why did Corey decide to create Podfly?

[40:55] Corey talks about applying for Costa Rican residency.

[46:00] Does Corey plan to stay in Costa Rica forever?

Lots of crazy things happening with President Trump. As people looking for alternative options, Andrew cautions that you never want to try and hide your money from the government.

Andrew continues the Nomad Capitalist’s theme of finding and discovering your ‘home,’ in this week’s introduction.

Andrew's Editorial:

In Andrew’s introduction, he discusses the true meaning of a nomad. A nomad is someone who goes where they're treated best, but this does not mean that they leave their tax woes behind them. Governments are becoming more and more connected, and are going after nomads who did not get all their tax ducks in a row. Be careful and do things the right, and legal, way!

 

Key Takeaways:

Andrew's Editorial:

[2:00] Andrew met a guy from Sweden who was paying 58% tax.

[2:40] Some nomads didn't think about their taxes when they went overseas, and now the government is going after them.

[3:40] Nomads should constantly be seeking where they're treated best.

[5:35] Get your tax ducks in a row.

[22:20] Aaron talks about his business, RoomChecking.

[28:15] Why did Aaron move to Paris?

[31:15] Was it difficult for Aaron to convince his girlfriend to move to Paris with him?

[41:00] Aaron compares American cultures vs. French culture.

[49:20] The French (Europeans in general) seem to love, love paperwork.

There are a lot of coaches out there that claim they’re making 6-figures, but those numbers can lie. In this week’s introduction, Andrew warns others to be bit wary of those ‘gurus’ out there, claiming quick financial success. Anybody can be a coach, so it’s important to find one who is A) a good teacher, and B) someone who will empower you to take action.

[2:25] There are a lot of fakes out there.

[3:40] Teaching is one thing, empowering is another thing.

[3:50] Andrew wants to empower you to do better!

[12:40] How did Jenna save money? She downsized.

[15:30] Jenna wished she had done her own research about Europe as opposed to listening to everyone else tell her how expensive Europe was (it wasn’t).

[19:15] Time is our most valuable asset. Your mental state and your time cannot be replaced.

[21:45] What are some of the benefits of being a solopreneur?

[26:45] The more things you own, the more you’re owned by things.

[27:00] What countries in Europe does Jenna suggest nomads should go to, or check out?
