For all of my guests, I thoroughly research them. I read all of their books, listen to them on YouTube, watch their Ted Talks. Sean was no exception. I read all 4 of his books so that I could really understand what we would discuss! I loved this interview and I know you will too.   Mentioned in this episode: No Plan-B Without the Language If you’re planning to move overseas—or even just set up your offshore Plan-B—learning the local language isn’t optional.
