In this episode, I am looking at why someone would chose Bulgaria as an investment and residence destination. I do some comments on a publication which has originally appeared here. There are few examples of people who have done such a move. They include the story of a French guy who runs the international sales for Historical Park, a British entrepreneur and much more. Few of the advantages discussed include the the low taxation environment, the Bulgarian start up ecosystem as well as the economy, the nature and much more. Happy listening and reading. Let me know what you think. 

In this episode I am joined by a the author of "Investing on the Shoulders of Giants: How I made 100% in a year in the Stockmarket" Nigel Pope. In a lovely sitting outside in Jumeirah Beach in Dubai (yes you can hear that) we discuss what is the mindset shift occurring in financial markets and what are the reasons for innovation we have witnessed over the last couple of years. Nigel shares few tips on investing as well as few insides on what are the challenges solved by his latest venture 55EastFX. Inspiring conversation that pushed me to research a little more the mindset topic and share few other facts. Thanks for listening and please do let me know what you think, 

Allen Wazny is a dear friend of mine. Former CFO, he left his full time job about a year ago to become a full time advisory role to companies innovating by using blockchain technology. Really good episode where we discuss what are implications of blockchain technology in finance and transportation.
