In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of living and traveling abroad with Jim Rogers. Jim is the author of the best seller, Investment Biker, the story of this amazing trip, and it’s about the world economy and society – who’s sinking and who’s swimming, which countries are on the rise and which are collapsing, where you can make a million and where you could lose one. He shares his experiences of seeing the world up close—choosing the open road over the fast lane, adventure over convenience, and firsthand discovery over guided tours. From growing up in a small town with a single-digit phone number to navigating the complexities of global markets and being held hostage in the Congo, he discusses the invaluable lessons learned along the way.
Tune in to hear how curiosity, persistence, and a sense of adventure can change everything.

About Jim Rogers
In 1990 Jim and his friend Tabitha set out to circle the globe on a pair of BMW motorcycles. Not simply to travel, but to learn about the worlds developing countries and investment markets by actually seeing them from the ground up.
It took twenty-two months, but together they drove 105,000 kilometres on land and travelled thousands more on sea, air, barge and rail links across six continents, setting a world record for land travel on the way. Investment Biker is the story of this amazing trip, and it’s about the world economy and society – who’s sinking and who’s swimming, which countries are on the rise and which are collapsing, where you can make a million and where you could lose one. Every place he stopped in the trip, Rogers talked to businessmen, bankers, investors, and regular people, and learned reams of information that you’d never learn from reading the financial pages or any periodicals.
All in all, it’s quite a ride. Investment Biker not only thrills with its account of the journey of a lifetime but provides the tips that just might allow you to pay for a trip just like it.
