Mikhael Newman is a social entrepreneur with two decades of corporate marketing and communication experience working with large European-based MNCs.  Based in Trinidad, he speaks four languages and is one of the more interesting people I have interviewed, given his expertise in a wide range of areas.

He drives home the economic slowdown reality and its impact on social stability and consequent personal safety.  This is particularly the case in emerging markets. Fortunately, he is optimistic as he sees us going through a rough social and economic transformation period.  At the end of the tunnel, we will emerge from the downturn with a new sustainable economic model.  The challenge, therefore, is to pilot oneself through the present downturn.

My name is Derren Joseph, and I am a part of a finance practice that works with entrepreneurs and expats doing business internationally.

I have frequently asked for opinions that extend beyond taxation. It is not unusual for me to spend time with clients and colleagues, discussing socio-economic trends and their impact on specific geographies and industries.

The current pandemic may be the single most important event of our lives. It will shape our world in unimaginable ways. I wrote a book hoping that it may help entrepreneurs like you and my clients, entrepreneurs who operate internationally, and must now pivot and retool themselves and their teams for what is to come.

Yes, I must admit my more selfish motives. I also need to pivot and adapt to the unfolding revolution, A revolution in how we do business internationally. I wrote this book to improve my chances of survival.

I decided to approach this in a more formal way than I usually do. Like many, I have read extensively. I have tried to acknowledge this by naming those responsible for ideas that are not my own. What I have also done is spoken to people.

I have spoken to around 150 people in my network. Some are well known, but most are not.

What they all have in common is that they have done businesses across borders. And, in many cases, across several countries.

I have captured a few of the interviews, as videos such as the one you are watching, but most spoke with me privately, and I must, therefore, respect their privacy.

So, where are we now? We are bruised, battered, and scared of what awaits us.

I hope that this book helps you, as it has helped me. My message, it’s simple, you must diversify your lifestyle.
