  • 378: Why Dropping Out of School Was the Best Investment I Ever Made
    Oct 29 2025
    We all grow up being told to “follow the system.” Go to school. Get a job. Obey the rules. But what if the system itself is broken and designed to constrain you? In today’s episode, I sit down with Matt Nettleton of the Default Profitable Podcast to discuss how being labelled “learning disabled” as a kid pushed me to reject public education, to drop out of school as a teenager, and to build a multimillion-dollar global business from scratch. We dig deep into how to turn adversity into fuel, build leverage through systems and delegation, and live life completely on your terms. Enjoy! IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
    • Listen in as I reveal how dropping out of school at 12 became the best decision of my life…and the foundation for everything I’ve built since.
    • Find out how I bootstrapped Expat Money from zero capital to a 30+ person international team serving high-net-worth clients around the world.
    • Tune in as I reveal the one thing I wish I had done sooner that would have accelerated my journey even faster.

  • 377: Building an International Plan-B While Still Living in the U.S.
    Oct 22 2025
    What’s it really like to build a full international Plan-B while still living in your home country, especially when you’ve got a family to think about? One client of mine, Ryan, has done exactly that. While married with four kids, he’s methodically built offshore investments, is in the process of securing second residencies, and has positioned his family for long-term freedom and security… all before making the move abroad. His story proves that protecting your future doesn’t require running; it requires planning. In today’s episode, my colleague Marc Clair sits down with Ryan to discuss how he and his wife are creating a life of global freedom for their family, from diversifying into international real estate and pursuing residencies in Latin America to choosing jurisdictions that protect their children’s education and values. It’s an honest look at the practical steps you can take to protect your family’s future, even before you’re ready to give up life in your home country. IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
    • Tune in to hear Ryan describe the moment he and his wife realized their interest in other countries had shifted from “adventure” to a necessity to protect their family’s freedom and future.
    • Listen in as Ryan breaks down how they built their family’s offshore Plan-B while still living in the U.S.
    • Learn how Ryan’s family incorporated learning Spanish together as part of their transition plan to a life in Latin America.
    • Find out why Ryan and his wife ultimately chose to build their Plan-B around Latin America instead of Europe.

  • 375: 25 Years Abroad: How I Built a Global Real Estate Portfolio
    Oct 8 2025
    I’ve been travelling the world for 25 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that freedom doesn’t just come from your passport; it comes from how you use it. Along the way, I’ve made every mistake imaginable—lost money, trusted the wrong people, and learned the hard way what real freedom actually costs. In today’s episode, I sit down with Keith Borie to share my story of how I went from being a dyslexic kid in Canada to owning property in ten countries and helping clients do the same. I delve into cash-flowing real estate, legal tax mitigation, and wealth protection strategies employed by myself and my clients. This isn’t about theory; it’s about what’s working right now. IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
    • Listen in to learn how I grew from a dyslexic school dropout to a global investor with properties in 10+ countries
    • Tune in to hear why cash-flowing international real estate beats speculating in the stock market or crypto hype
    • Find out why Paraguay and Colombia are emerging as frontier markets for serious investors.
    • Learn how to build a diversified international portfolio with both short- and long-term rentals

  • 373: Guyana: A Trip to the World’s Fastest Growing Economy
    Sep 24 2025
    What if the fastest-growing economy in the world was also one of the most underdeveloped? That’s the paradox of Guyana, a tiny, English-speaking nation tucked between Venezuela and Brazil. I spent several days on the ground for my very first trip to this country. In this episode, I am joined by my co-host, Marc Clair, to unpack everything I learned about the country, from its interesting demographics to its bizarre colonial legacy and its modern geopolitical situation. By the end, you’ll understand exactly why Guyana should be on your radar… just not for the reasons you think. IN TODAY’S EPISODE
    • Tune in as Marc and I discuss the strange truth about the only English-speaking country in South America, and whether it feels more Caribbean or Latin American
    • Listen in to learn how Guyana’s geopolitical situation was transformed practically overnight—and why Venezuela and the U.S. are both watching closely
    • Hear the backstory of a chilling event that still defines Guyana in the global imagination…one that locals are tired of talking about
    • Find out why I’m calling this a “pre-development country”, and what has to happen before I’d consider investing there
