• JustinWCooke

  Everyone I know/respect mentions Glen and ViperChill…I really have to get over there and start reading some posts, I think!

  Thanks for the mention Dan!

• Seth

  Thanks Dan.  As one of the Partially Examined Life guys, we appreciate the mention.  I’m glad you are onto Philosophy Bites and I second Matsumoto-san’s recommendation of the Philosopher’s Zone.  Peter Adamson at King’s College in London has a History of Philosophy podcast “without any gaps” (http://www.kcl.ac.uk/ikings/index.php?id=409).  Episode 59 and he’s already up to Epicureanism ;)

  I can also recommend Little Atoms (http://www.littleatoms.com/), which is a radio show in the UK re-posted as a podcast (quality is heavily dependent on topic/guest) or, if you can stand more long format stuff, Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History. (http://dancarlin.com/)
  Cheers,

  Hello, this is Simon Brown,

  I’m the Austin Powers dude that thinks he’s James Bond, telling you to get Mongolian bank accounts, Singapore passports and go on the prowl in Southeast Asia and Latin America. Remember me? :)

  I just completed a series of meetings with my partners and then had dinner in some exclusive restaurant with some international bankers and successful young entrepreneurs full of dynamism. We were discussing about planting-flags, putting-boots-on-the-ground-and-opening-bank-accounts about everywhere.

  After all, my purpose is not to deliver actual useful information but to „play the white man“ (although I’m just a swarthy Med type) in all those developping countries and feel good about myself. I’d also need you to believe that you need such an adventurer as my own self to „put boots on the ground“ (yeah!!) to find such priceless information as the local weather, food and drink, basic market analysis, interest rates or GDP growth numbers.

  The cynicals will probably point out that international travel and landing anywhere in the world is not half the adventure it was only 30 years ago with no internet, no smartphones, no internet forums and online guides that already explain it all for you, no discount airlines, no English commonly spoken, no ATMs and international franchises in every corner. But at least I want the few rednecks in Texas who want to relocate their ranch to Costa Rica to think so and then subscribe to my overpriced website. So please STFU.

  You’ve probably realized by now that most of my articles are pretty empty of actual content and may be wondering what then is the source of my excitment and enthusiasm over all this „international travel“ thing and what is so much better than in Gringoland? That’s right. You’ve guessed it: it’s so much easier over there with all those chicas, cheap Slavic women and Asian girls than with the women back home! But shhhhht…! ;) People may mistake me for the self-serving creep I am.

  Personally, even though my international businesses are all doing so great, it always feels exhilarating when I can save a couple hundred dollars on medical treatment in Bangkok or Mumbai, get a steak for half-price in Uruguay, or pay 3$ for a noodle soup in Vietnam. But I have such huge affective and validation needs, understand it’s not only about the price but mostly about the bragging :) .

  Yesderday I was in Moscow but had to leave in a hurry because I was trying to dine-with-international-bankers-and-successful-young-entrepreneurs-about-planting-flags-and-putting-boots-everywhere-like-a-headless-chicken, but then they all told me they really didn’t like my cheeky mug and shitty advice at all and were probably getting some guys to kick my loud-mouthed huckster’s ass… By the way, Aeroflot is such a huge discount, I’m sure you didn’t know that one also, eh?

  Now, want to join my exclusive club of internationally-minded-successful-business people? We’re fishing tuna in Panama or sardine in Portugal this week-end, patting each other in the back with my partners of the Atlas 400 club (for sure, an exciting activity, totally unlike fishing salmon in Alaska, where even the fish probably has RFID chips) and some international-bankers-and-successful-young-entrepreneurs-full-of-dynamism. We will be discussing about planting-flags and putting-boots-on-the-ground…

  I had to filter the comments on my blog because more and more readers were poking fun at me and astutely exposing how full of shit I am. But comments are still allowed for now on Business Insider and I’ve become a laughing stock over there. I think I have to speak with my oh-so-good-friend the owner of Business Insider (I need friends so bad…) in order to put an end to this… That will probably be another good pretex to have one more „important meeting“ and make some „exhausting negociations“ over a rooftop dinner in Hong Kong… I’ll keep you updated on how it turns out.

  Until next time,
  Simon Brown, International Smartass & Sovereign Creep

  Fair enough, funny stuff. I met SB and the guy is the real deal, some people have huge vested interests in internationalization and they care about content like that. Good news for people who don’t like it is there is plenty of other stuff out there.

  Projecting what you do can come across as bragging to some people and to others it can be like a lifeline to find similar minds/interests.

  Also bulletproof is still just pushing his $40 coffee when the real benefit is from modafinil which you can just buy from https://www.modup.net/blog/buy-modafinil/ for a couple of bucks. I’m not saying Dave is pushing snake oil but the majority of the cognitive benefits are from the modafinil he’s religously popping not his coffee and supplements.
