Welcome to another edition of Geopolitics and Empire.

Quick reminder support the transmission.

I can't do this without your support.

And the best way to do that is by becoming a paid subscriber on the Geopolitics and Empire substack.

We do a group call every week or two for supporters only shooting the breeze on world events.

I also do a weekly analysis and commentary, a roundup of the news for supporters only.

And sometimes we bring back past podcast guests guests we just had on Alex Creel of Thinking Coalition for a live Q&A with supporters

only. You can donate. You can purchase a consult if you want to chat with me and do check out

all of my affiliates and sponsors and leave a podcast review if you have not already. Joining for the very first time on the podcast is mikhail thorup founder and CEO of expatmoney.com he also hosts the annual expat money summit he's got a great podcast on which i've been a guest he's a sought after expat consultant focusing on helping high net worth private clients to legally mitigate tax liabilities

obtain a second residency and citizenship and assemble of portfolio of foreign investments,

including international real estate, to timber plantations, agricultural land and other hard money tangible assets.

He's also got a new conference coming up, which he'll be telling us about, he's been a

past sponsor of geopolitics and empire. Welcome to the podcast, Mikhail.

As yours all mine. Thank you very much for having me. And just let me start off by saying,

I'm a massive fan of your show. I've been listening to your program for a few years now, and I've

had the privilege of sponsoring your program

multiple years in a row and I just love the work you're doing. It's super, super important and just

happy to help out and support any way I can. You know, we're very thankful for your support and

I'll we'll get into that in a little bit. I very much appreciate the work that you do as well. We spoke, you were our guest on my past TNT radio, uh, program. And this was your first time on the podcast. And I thought maybe we'd start out with your, because I'm still, I mean, I'm curious about this as well. And I tend to do this with guests who come on for the very first time to get quickly your back story, sort of, you know, how you went from Canada to building expat money ending up in Panama.

Sure.

So for my story, I have to go quite far back in time, but I'll try to keep it as concise as possible.

I'm from southwestern Ontario.
