Risk and having a Plan B, with David Ansara

from South African Ex-Pats · host Jonathan Warncke

My guest, David Ansara from the "Solutions with David Ansara" podcast, is the Chief Operating Office of the Centre for Risk Analysis.  In this episode he gives us a view of the short and long term risks to South Africa and its citizens, and offers us some strategic advice on setting up your plan B.  A plan B is all about making sure that you have as many options as possible. If you don't want to emigrate now, look into obtaining an ancestral passport you may have access to.  Build your business profile so that you have the best chance of getting job offers that come with visa sponsorship. Offshore part of your investment portfolio (more info on how to do that can be found here).    Personally, I found this to be a fascinating conversation. David takes out the clickbait and the drama, and gives us a very level-headed appraisal of the situation in our country that goes beyond clickbait and outrage. Additionally, plan B gives me something to work on while the idea of emigrating continues to percolate in the background.  If you want to hear more from David, you can listen to his podcast here and watch the video version on YouTube here.  We reference David's conversation with Frans Cronje quite a bit.
