CONCLUSION

This was truly a fascinating episode with John Perkins. Ultimately, after I read his book 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' I knew I wanted him as a guest on our show. Let me tell you, John was a hard man to pin down, due to the fact that he travels the world speaking to audiences about his experiences in the 1970s and to help people around the globe become more conscientious about the future of our planet. He now lectures about changes we all need to make for the survival of our planet. Please don't miss this amazing chat with John Perkins.

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.
