Timothy Allen speaks with Trey Goff.

Trey is the chief of staff at Próspera and one of their longest serving employees. In this conversation he explains Prospera’s real model - partnering with host nations to create zones that encourage innovation through clear rules and fair governance. He pushes back on conspiracy theories about Prospera, arguing that media narratives often rely on inaccuracies and preconceived angles.

We also discuss recent projects, rising interest from entrepreneurs and digital nomads, and new initiatives like a legal framework for AI agents. The conversation broadens into the philosophical implications of AI, the future of prosperity, and how humans create meaning in a world of increasing technological capability.

Enjoy the conversation.
