.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

Retirement plans
Who is the ideal person for this style of investing

CONCLUSION
I can see why Tariq loves working with 'Pre High Net Worth' individuals. A young 22-year-old comes to him for advice, and they can plan out his/her future to ensure they take all the right steps so when retirement is around the corner, they are prepared. And these pre-high net worth individuals come to him because their parents came to him first. The parents made sure their retirement was in place and they were able to say to their children, see, we listened to the advice given to us by Tariq, we believe you should do the same. Wow, I just love it!

Great conversation with my good friend Luigi Wewege. As I mentioned at the beginning of the interview, we met almost 3 years ago in Dubai and became fast friends. He’s one of the reasons I moved my family to Panama, all the great things he talked about living here. This is a really great video interview with him about all things Offshore.
