It still boggles my mind that I’ve done 300 episodes of the Expat Money Show. I had barely been doing the show for more than a year or so when I first met Marc Clair. As one of the longest-running listeners and an accomplished podcaster in his own right, Marc was the perfect person to join me in reflecting on how things have changed in my life and this business over the course of these 300 episodes. Whether you’re brand new to the show or you’ve been following me since that first episode, I am truly grateful to have you as a listener. Every single one of you who tunes in to this show helps me accomplish my personal and business goals. I hope that - whether through this program or one of the various other products and services we provide at Expat Money - I can do the same for you on your expat journey. I’ll see you next Wednesday for episode 301!Mentioned in this episode:

Governments Hate This Trip
Paraguay doesn’t make headlines—and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. No wealth tax. No global tax. No chaos. This year, I’m leading a private group into the heart of Latin America’s best-kept secret. You’ll get boots-on-the-ground access to lawyers, investments, and a second residency most people don’t even know exists. Governments hate this strategy—and that’s exactly why it works.
