    324: Why An Offshore Plan-B Is The Best Insurance Against Politics
    Nearly everyone insures their body with health insurance or their car with auto insurance. But how do you insure yourself against the machinations of greedy politicians, taxing and regulating your hard-earned wealth away at every turn? This is exactly where an offshore Plan-B comes into play. In today’s episode,  I share with you a recent conversation I had with my friend Tom Bodrovics on his show Palisades Gold Radio. I explain exactly why an international Plan-B is vital for anyone looking to preserve their liberty and wealth against inflation, taxation and the myriad of problems caused by psychopaths holding political office around the globe.

    TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH TOM BODROVICS:

    • Hear why the question is not “what if” but “how high” when it comes to rising exit taxes and fees worldwide. 
    • Listen as I struggle to name even one country where it’s gotten easier to get a visa in the last few years; the truth is, prices are always going up.
    • Discover why having an offshore Plan-B is having insurance against politics. 
    • Hear my unfiltered thoughts on how I view countries like Argentina, El Salvador, Mexico and Colombia as Plan-B destinations.
    • What do government agents really see when they scan your passport? Learn what sort of information gets shared when you cross borders. 
    • What are some of the countries expats should steer clear of? Find out what countries are on my personal blacklist as far as Plan-B’s go.
    • Learn what the best passports are that you can get through citizenship by ancestry - the answers may surprise you!
    • Am I worried my kids might one day argue about who was born with the best passport? Believe it or not, this is something I do think about….

    323: Living Off-The-Grid In Latin America – Patrick Hiebert
    Living off-grid doesn’t have to mean “barely getting by” and going without our favourite life amenities. In fact, today’s guest, Patrick Hiiebert, is building luxury, freedom-oriented, off-grid communities right here in Latin America.  Like myself, Patrick was born in Canada and now lives in Latin America. He is the CEO and one of the founders of EcoVillages and VidaVerde AgroForestry. Through his work at EcoVillages, he has founded Veritas Village Panama, a luxury off-grid community outside of Panama City.   

    TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH PATRICK HIEBERT:

    • Listen in to find out how Patrick and his family ended up falling in love with and living full-time in Latin America.
    • Learn why Patrick intends to win back the term “eco” from climate commies who have distorted it to be conflated with socialism.
    • Can you really live off-the-grid while having all the amenities of luxury, first-world living? Patrick reveals the pieces that make the concept work.
    • Discover what the future holds for the Veritas concept and what other countries are on the radar for potential Veritas-inspired communities.
    • Tune in to hear Patrick and I brainstorm some wild ideas together for expanding this off-grid luxury concept. 
    • Find out how living in an off-grid community not only improves your way of life but drastically decreases your cost of living. 
    • Hear Patrick explain why the demand for this type of self-sufficient community has skyrocketed since COVID restrictions of a few years ago. 
    • By the end of this conversation, you’ll fully understand why Latin America provides an ideal, welcoming and safe environment for these off-grid communities.

    322: Expat News: Panama Keeps Investor Visa Price, Trump to End Double Taxation Of Expats?
    Huge news broke regarding Panama’s Investor Visa this week, as the investment minimum will now remain at $300K, pausing the previously planned increase to $500K for at least two years. Plus, will Donald Trump really end the double taxation of American expats if he’s elected? These are the news stories at the top of my stack for this week’s edition of Expat News. After nearly six weeks of travel, followed by the Expat Money Summit right when we got back, a whole lot of news stories have been piling up, so let’s dive right into this fifth edition of Expat News!

    TODAY’S EDITION OF EXPAT NEWS:

    • Listen in for the inside details on the Panamanian government’s decision NOT to raise the investment minimum for the Investor Visa. This is HUGE!
    • Learn about the significant change the country of Vanuatu has made that will surely complicate its passport application process for many. 
    • Discover how Russia is providing sanctuary for citizens of “destructive neoliberal countries” with a new visa program. 
    • Is another Caribbean citizenship-by-investment program on the way? Find out which country’s opposition party is proposing another Caribbean CBI.
    • Could Donald Trump really end double taxation of Americans overseas if he’s elected? 
    • Tune in to learn the details of an interesting new citizenship-by-investment program coming out of a relatively off-the-radar island nation. 
    • In light of recent major hurricanes, hear why more Floridians are fleeing to Panama, a well-known Hurricane-free zone.

    Veritas Panama - Offgrid Community

    After 17 months of bureaucracy, my partners and I successfully got our permits for Veritas Panama! This is the fully off-grid community we are building in the highlands of Panama. We have already started building the roads, subdividing the lots, installing the septic and water, and even installing solar panels, so everything is independent of the power grid! The site we chose is unbelievable; we are up at a flat plateau about a thousand feet up a mountain with incredible unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. To go to the beach, it is just 15 minutes down to the water. We have mature fruit trees on site, including these gorgeous 200-year-old mango trees and many other things, such as avocado trees, papayas, and delicious tropical fruits. You can find out more information and contact us at VeritasPanama.com But please be aware that there are only 100 home sites, and without even talking about this to the general public, a lot of the lots are already sold… So if you dream of living in a completely off-grid community, enjoying the beautiful weather, close to the beach, being food, water, and energy independent, and want to have like-minded and cool neighbours, people who respect personal, medical, and economic freedoms, then I want you to contact us at VeritasPanama.com today

    321: Kosovo: A Welcoming Nation for Expats and Tourists – Ilir Sopjani
    The next stop on my recent European trip was the little-discussed but incredibly interesting country of Kosovo. I had the pleasure of spending a few days with a super cool guide named Ilir in the capital of Pristina, who taught me about this small Balkan country.  In today’s conversation with Ilir, you’ll learn what you need to know about Kosovo and what makes it a welcoming place for expats and tourists alike, including its history, culture, lifestyle, and more. Enjoy!  

    TODAY’S CONVERSATION ABOUT KOSOVO:

    • Uncover Kosovo's fascinating history and culture, which goes much further back than its more recent, war-torn past.
    • Learn about the recent change for Kosovons that will make travel in the region a lot easier.
    • What about safety? While travel always has its risks, find out why Kosovo is a particularly safe place to visit.
    • How welcoming is Kosovo to foreigners? Hear Ilir’s thoughts on whether Kosovo could be a good place for expats.
    • Longtime listeners know I’m not digging into a new country without talking about the food - and Kosovo has a plethora of tasty options. 
    • Find out whether the climate in Kosovo would suit you as Ilir breaks down what to expect from season to season.
    • Listen in to hear what Ilir believes are the most important points foreigners should know about this often misunderstood country.

Since we are all focused on the Summit this week, for this week's podcast I will be replaying an episode I recorded a few years ago where I break down the top 94 things that I do on a daily basis to ensure that I am creating a perfect balance between life and work. These 94 things are exceptionally important in my day-to-day life and these are how I am building a 7 figure income. Enjoy! You can download the entire PDF as a Companion Guide here: 94 Things I Do To Set Myself Up For Success - March 2022.PDF  

    HERE IS A SNEAK PEEK INTO WHAT I DO TO SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS…

    • Listen in as I go through some of the most amazing hacks to ensure that I achieve peak performance for the entire day and night.
    • What goes into my body first thing in the morning is possibly the most important thing I can do from this list to create clarity and focus. I’ll tell you my entire ritual so you can create this, too.
    • I love my espresso and my water. I let you in on some great tips on how to get the best out of your water, no matter where you live and what your tap water is like.
    • Most people don’t realize how crucial having great oral hygiene is to your productivity throughout the day. I share what I have upgraded and done away with this past year; you will thank me for this.
    • Exercise…I share with you my amazing routine that ensures my body and mind are ready for anything my clients want and need from me.
    • You may have heard of some of the techniques I talk about in this jam-packed episode, like red light therapy, using a sauna, or only having a cold shower. You may also think they’re not that important, but I’m going to share my daily ritual to create optimum health, for myself and my entire family.
    • Food…this is one of the biggest topics discussed around our dinner table. I’ll tell you how I slimmed down and lost 10 kilos and why this is so vitally important when it comes to dealing with my heavy workload, day in and day out! 
    • Finally, after bringing it all together…education, relationships, and work; I then added ways to make my life easier. I can’t believe it took me this many years to figure this part out, but wow! What a life-changer!

    Veritas Panama - Offgrid Community

    After 17 months of bureaucracy, my partners and I successfully got our permits for Veritas Panama! This is the fully off-grid community we are building in the highlands of Panama. We have already started building the roads, subdividing the lots, installing the septic and water, and even installing solar panels, so everything is independent of the power grid! The site we chose is unbelievable; we are up at a flat plateau about a thousand feet up a mountain with incredible unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. To go to the beach, it is just 15 minutes down to the water. We have mature fruit trees on site, including these gorgeous 200-year-old mango trees and many other things, such as avocado trees, papayas, and delicious tropical fruits. You can find out more information and contact us at VeritasPanama.com But please be aware that there are only 100 home sites, and without even talking about this to the general public, a lot of the lots are already sold… So if you dream of living in a completely off-grid community, enjoying the beautiful weather, close to the beach, being food, water, and energy independent, and want to have like-minded and cool neighbours, people who respect personal, medical, and economic freedoms, then I want you to contact us at VeritasPanama.com today

    317: Montenegro: A Hidden Gem In The Balkans – Ladislas Maurice
    During my recent trip to the beautiful Balkan nation of Montenegro, I had the chance to sit down with my good friend Ladislas Maurice, who has lived and invested in the country for years. In this conversation, we talk a bit about immigration, taxes, company formation, etc. Enjoy this first-hand account of living in this gorgeous hidden gem in the Balkans.  

    TODAY’S DISCUSSION ABOUT MONTENEGRO WITH LADISLAS MAURICE

    • Listen in to learn how my friend Ladislas became aware of Montenegro and why he quickly started getting involved in real estate projects in the country. 
    • Discover the rapid changes to the real estate market over the last few years, spurred on by an influx of foreign investment.
    • Tune in to learn why Montenegro has such a “Geneva vibe,” with expats from various different cultures and political backgrounds all gathering peacefully. 
    • Is it easy to become a resident of Montenegro? Learn about the various pathways available for expats to obtain a residency in this Balkan nation.
    • Uncover why countries like Montenegro (and much of Latin America) are a lot more “chilled out” when it comes to rules and regulations than many North Americans are used to - and why that’s a wonderful thing.
    • Hear a full breakdown of the tax situation in Montenegro, from corporate to personal to property tax. How does it stack up to its European neighbours?
    • Learn everything you need to know about property and real estate in Montenegro from a firsthand expert in Ladislas.
    • For Ladislas, Montenegro is a “Plan A.” But how does it stack up as a Plan-B for expats?

    314: Panama: Why I Chose This Small Latino Country As My Home Base
    “Why Panama?” I get this question every day, especially in a world where the word “expat” is still often associated with countries like the UAE, Portugal, Singapore, and others. It was not an easy decision, and it was not one my wife and I took lightly. When we decided to leave the UAE several years ago, we spent countless hours debating the pros and cons of several countries before deciding on Panama. Since I get this question so often, I decided that this week, I would share with you a presentation I gave at last year’s Expat Money Summit, in which I lay out all the reasons we settled on Panama as our home base. This will also help give you an idea of the flavour of some of the presentations you’ll hear at this year’s Summit. And don’t worry—I never do the same presentation twice, so you’ll get all new content at this year’s Expat Money Summit.  

    TODAY’S EPISODE ON WHY I CHOSE PANAMA AS MY HOME BASE:

    • Tune in to hear me first lay out the good, the bad and the ugly of the UAE and why we decided to search for another home country. 
    • Listen in to hear about the most pleasant experience one could ever have losing a wallet when I lost mine in a taxi in the UAE. 
    • Hear me compare the stark differences in both the cost and quality of food between the UAE and Panama. 
    • Learn about Panama's very favourable tax situation, a big factor for many expats looking to protect their hard-earned wealth. 
    • It’s not all about numbers. Discover all you need to know about the lifestyle in Panama and why it suits our family so well. 
    • What about the visa options? Learn about Panama’s many residency options and which pathway we chose (an option that is, unfortunately, no longer available.)

    Mentioned in this episode:

    Veritas Panama - Offgrid Community

    After 17 months of bureaucracy, my partners and I successfully got our permits for Veritas Panama! This is the fully off-grid community we are building in the highlands of Panama. We have already started building the roads, subdividing the lots, installing the septic and water, and even installing solar panels, so everything is independent of the power grid! The site we chose is unbelievable; we are up at a flat plateau about a thousand feet up a mountain with incredible unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. To go to the beach, it is just 15 minutes down to the water. We have mature fruit trees on site, including these gorgeous 200-year-old mango trees and many other things, such as avocado trees, papayas, and delicious tropical fruits. You can find out more information and contact us at VeritasPanama.com But please be aware that there are only 100 home sites, and without even talking about this to the general public, a lot of the lots are already sold… So if you dream of living in a completely off-grid community, enjoying the beautiful weather, close to the beach, being food, water, and energy independent, and want to have like-minded and cool neighbours, people who respect personal, medical, and economic freedoms, then I want you to contact us at VeritasPanama.com today

    Join Me In Panama For Our Next Tour

    I have great news. After many meetings and explanations, the Panamanian government has agreed to keep the Investors Visa at a $300k Real Estate investment instead of nearly doubling the amount required, as they said they would. This is a massive win for our community who wants to move to or invest in Panama, but I am not sure how long this will last… If you have been thinking about Panama, then I want to make an invitation to you today. Come join me for a special four-day tour to see if the country I call home is right for you and your family. We have just released the next set of trip dates. You can find out more at ExpatMoney.com/fly. Come visit me and the Expat Money team, get a feel for the country and see if Panama makes sense for investment or as a new home.
