What if the fastest-growing economy in the world was also one of the most underdeveloped?

That’s the paradox of Guyana, a tiny, English-speaking nation tucked between Venezuela and Brazil. I recently spent several days on the ground for my very first trip to this country. 

In this episode, I am joined by my co-host, Marc Clair, to unpack everything I learned about the country, from its interesting demographics to its bizarre colonial legacy and its modern geopolitical situation.

By the end, you’ll understand exactly why Guyana should be on your radar… just not for the reasons you think.

• Listen in to learn how Guyana’s geopolitical situation was transformed practically overnight—and why Venezuela and the U.S. are both watching closely
• Hear the backstory of a chilling event that still defines Guyana in the global imagination…one that locals are tired of talking about
• Find out why I’m calling this a “pre-development country”, and what has to happen before I’d consider investing there
