In this Interview with Jim Rogers, I get updated opinions on everything from North Korea and China to the Mandarin language and the current state of education around the world. Jim Rogers tells me what he is teaching his own children and where he, as an investor, is putting his own money today. . WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW: Episode Focus: Jim Rogers and Mikkel Thorup discuss education, particularly for their children, and what kind will best prepare them for the future. Jim's Book Insight: Moving to China or an Asian country offers children a rigorous education system, unlike in the USA. Importance of Education: Education is a recurring topic with many guests, including multimillionaire entrepreneur Jim Cockrum. Jim's Change of Heart: Initially, Jim Rogers did not want children, seeing them as a waste. Now, he believes everyone should have children and regrets not having them earlier.

Book for Daughters: His book "A Gift to My Children" was written for his daughters and might inspire others to do something similar.
