356: Own Office Space In Panama’s Hottest Growth Corridor – Part 1
If you’ve been following my work, you know I take real estate investments very seriously—and I do tremendous due diligence before ever presenting an opportunity to the Expat Money community.
After years of searching for the right location for a very special project I had in mind—something that has the right infrastructure, aligns with my pro-freedom values, and fits into a larger international strategy—I’ve finally found a site that checks every box. And for the first time, I’m pulling back the curtain to walk you through it.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by my good friend and trusted Panama real estate expert, Kiley Herold. With over a decade of on-the-ground experience and a deep connection to one of Panama’s most respected developers, Kiley brings insights you won’t hear anywhere else. Together, we explore what makes this project so unique, why international entrepreneurs are taking notice, and how it has been designed specifically with the Expat Money community in mind.

354: Offshore Upside: How To Take Your IRA International
If your retirement money is tied up in an IRA or a 401(k) and exposed to the ups and downs of the U.S. stock market, your retirement savings may be more vulnerable than you think. With growing debt, inflation, and political uncertainty, relying solely on Wall Street is becoming an increasingly risky strategy.
That’s why I brought in Matt Calhoun from Equity Trust for a timely discussion on how to regain control with a self-directed IRA. In this episode, we cover how to use it to invest in foreign real estate and other real assets that can help protect and diversify your portfolio for the long term.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
Learn how a self-directed IRA is unique from most in that you can direct and manage your own portfolio, including the type of assets you invest in.
Uncover the wide variety of assets that you can own using self-directed IRAs, from precious metals to cryptocurrency to international real estate.
Discover the very few types of assets that retirement accounts are prohibited from managing. Cross these off your list of investment ideas for IRAs.
Hear about the most common mistakes people make using self-directed IRAs so that you don’t make them yourself!

350: Canada Suicide Note: The System Isn’t Broken; It’s Working Against You
In this Expat Money Show episode, I don’t hold back. I’m going to tell you the truth about what’s really happening in Canada, and why I believe it’s no longer a place where you can build wealth or secure a future for your family. As someone born and raised in Canada, I’ve watched the country unravel. After visiting over 100 countries and planting roots in Panama, I can confidently say that it’s time to leave.
This isn’t hyperbole, it’s economic reality. From confiscatory taxes to a state-run suicide program, the Canadian government is accelerating its war on prosperity. I break down the numbers, expose the agenda, and give you a real path forward. It’s time to craft your Plan-B while you still can.
.
.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
Discover why Canada’s capital gains hike to 66.6% is more than symbolism—it’s economic warfare.
Learn how taxation, red tape, and public vilification have made Canada hostile to productivity.
Hear why the Canadian dollar is failing by design, not by accident.
Understand the truth behind the government’s own 2040 foresight report, and why it reads like a suicide note.
Explore the real story behind MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) and how it exposes the welfare state’s collapse.
Examine why voting won’t save Canadians, no matter the party—Carney vs. Poilievre is just theatre.
See how universal basic income, CBDCs, and climate lockdowns are being preconditioned as “solutions.”
Discover the best places to build a new life—Panama, Paraguay, and Costa Rica—and why they welcome expats.
Get the truth about Canada’s proposed $25,000 departure tax and what it means for your future.

349: Brazil’s Booming Northeast: How To Ride The Wealth Migration Wave
If you're serious about protecting your wealth and crafting a strong offshore Plan-B, then you need to go where the smart money is moving, not where it’s already gone.
In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you this past Saturday’s webinar, where we took a deep dive into the wealth migration taking place in Northeast Brazil. This region has largely been overlooked by investors, and that’s all about to change. This is an area I have personally invested in myself for years, and today you’re going to learn how to capitalize on this economic growth.
For this presentation, I invited my good friend and trusted partner Michael Kruger to walk you through why Brazil’s northeast is the ultimate destination for serious investors in 2025 — and why getting in early could be the smartest move you’ll make this decade.
Enjoy!
TODAY’S PRESENTATION ON NORTHEAST BRAZIL’S WEALTH MIGRATION WAVE
Meet Michael Kruger, my boots-on-the-ground partner in Brazil, with who I’ve personally invested for years and trust deeply.
Discover why Fortaleza’s economy is booming, with a GDP growth rate nearly double the national average — and why wealthy Brazilians are migrating there en masse.
Learn how Brazil’s self-sufficiency in food, water, and energy makes it one of the smartest Plan-B destinations in the world right now.
Find out how massive infrastructure upgrades, including airports, highways, and hospitals, are transforming Brazil’s northeast coast into a global hotspot.
Uncover why local Brazilian tourism, not foreign visitors, is driving year-round rental demand and reliable cash flow.
See why beachfront land in Brazil is vanishing quickly — and how the smart investors are securing their piece before prices explode.
Get the full story on my recent whirlwind trip to Fortaleza, where I inspected the land firsthand to validate every single detail.
Discover how Brazil’s middle class is expanding — creating a long-term, unstoppable force behind real estate appreciation.

348: Birth Tourism: How To Secure Your Family’s Future – Mike Qu
Most people spend their lives trying to build freedom for themselves, but equally important is how they can pass that freedom on to their children. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a powerful strategy I’ve used personally: birth tourism. All 3 of my kids were born in different countries—not just for the experience, but to secure real, lifelong advantages for them. Now, I’m taking everything I’ve learned and launching a brand-new venture to help other families do the same.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by my good friend and business partner, Mike Qu, a lifelong entrepreneur with businesses on three continents, a family of five, and a powerful mission to build multi-generational freedom. Mike and I have both experienced firsthand the legal, financial, and legacy-shaping benefits of second citizenship by birth, and now we are combining that knowledge to help other families do the same.
Enjoy today’s episode!
