El Salvador used to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world. It was ruled by ruthless gangs, riddled with unchecked violence, and had a government that had completely lost control. But in recent years, the country has undergone a rapid transformation. Now, tourists are returning, families walk the streets safely at night, and the country is now making headlines for very different reasons.
In today’s episode, I will walk you through the rise of President Nayib Bukele—from his early life to becoming the man behind the bold moves that are putting El Salvador back on the map. Whether you’ve been following Bukele for years or are just starting to pay attention, this is a story of transformation you need to hear.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
- Listen in to learn Nayib Bukele’s complete backstory—from businessman to revolutionary president
- Tune in for a full breakdown of Bukele’s six-phase economic transformation plan
- Learn how El Salvador has become one of the safest countries in Latin America
- Hear my honest opinion about El Salvador as a Plan-B destination
