The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

Today’s guest is Addison Wiggin, an American writer, publisher, and filmmaker. He currently hosts The Wiggin Sessions, a YouTube show covering the financial markets, the economy and politics. 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.

CONCLUSION

It was great getting Addison’s perspective on everything going on with the looming global financial crisis and the march toward war. Considering the depth of his knowledge of both history and finance, you’d be hard-pressed to find a voice more qualified to speak on these topics. My audience knows I’m far from a doomsayer - but we have to face the realities of a rapidly changing world around us. That’s why I always encourage my audience and clients not to hesitate one millisecond in starting their Plan B - because the sh!t could hit the fan anytime.

Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
