  • 349: Brazil’s Booming Northeast: How To Ride The Wealth Migration Wave
    Apr 30 2025
    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
    Apr 23 2025
    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! IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
    • Listen in to hear Mike’s backstory, from small-town Canada to becoming a global entrepreneur building freedom across borders
    • Tune in to learn why birth tourism is 100% legal—and why locals often welcome you with open arms for choosing their country
    • Discover how citizenship through birth opens up powerful passports for your child without spending six figures on a citizenship-by-investment
    • Find out how giving birth abroad can secure permanent residency for you and even your child’s grandparents
    • Explore how our new venture, My Birth Abroad, helps families navigate doctors, hospitals, paperwork, and legal filings, from start to finish

    • Get a behind-the-scenes look at the legal frameworks that make countries like Brazil, Chile, and Mexico ideal for citizenship by birth
    • Learn how to future-proof your family by creating options that protect against political chaos, economic instability, and closed borders

  • 347: Could Your Passport Be Your Downfall?
    Apr 16 2025
    A passport is crucial to your freedom and global mobility, but what if your citizenship could be a liability? I recently read an interesting article on IMI Daily called “13 Ways Your Passport Could Ruin Your Life.” While I agree with many of the author’s points, I believe most of the real-world risks are misunderstood—and far more manageable—than people realize. In today’s episode, I expand on each of the 13 points, breaking them down one by one through the lens of my two decades of real-world offshore experience. I cover the good, the bad, and the misunderstood—and I’ll show you exactly how to easily avoid any potential pitfalls while building a solid offshore Plan-B. Enjoy today’s episode! IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
    • Listen in as I explain why U.S. citizenship is one of the most dangerous liabilities in the offshore world
    • Learn the truth about mandatory military conscription—and why it’s almost never a real threat for expats
    • Tune in to find out how to avoid passport profiling at borders and why more citizenships = more freedom
    • Hear me debunk some common myths about citizenship-based taxation and learn about the only two countries in the world that practice it.
    • Discover the surprising truth about dual citizenship bans—and why they rarely limit serious expats
    • Find out why the fearmongering around “exit bans” is mostly nonsense—and what really matters when choosing a second passport

  • 345: Reject the Black Pill & Find Freedom Offshore
    Apr 2 2025
    For the freedom-minded, there’s plenty of doom and gloom where we look for it—wars, technocratic control systems, and economic collapse. But while most people stay stuck in fear or outrage, others are taking action. They’re securing second residencies, moving capital out of reach, and planting flags in places where freedom still has a fighting chance. In today’s episode, I joined Hrvoje Moric on his program Geopolitics & Empire to discuss what I’m seeing on the ground: which countries are best for freedom-minded expats, how I separate fantasy from reality in the offshore space, and why I believe the path to sovereignty lies in pragmatic action—not black-pilled defeatism. TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH HRVOJE MORIĆ
    • Listen in as I walk Hrvoje through my origin story—from being labelled with a learning disability to building a life of international freedom.
    • Tune in as Hrvoje, and I discuss the repackaged push for a North American Union and why more centralization is the opposite of what the world needs.
    • Discover why Panama, Paraguay, and Uruguay top my list of countries best set up for expats.
    • Find out how I’ve helped clients stay grounded and realistic about expat life—without buying into the fear porn or the sunshine-and-rainbows fantasies.
    • Hear my response to critics who overgeneralize Latin America—and why sweeping narratives miss the real, nuanced opportunities on the ground.
    • Unpack how bureaucracies in many third-world countries' inefficiency act as a feature, not a bug, when attempting to implement technocratic controls.
    • Learn why I favour tangible assets, like international real estate and precious metals, over manipulated stock markets.
    • By the end of this episode, it will be clear why I reject black-pilled defeatism and instead focus on practical, pragmatic strategies to preserve liberty and wealth.

  • 344: Don’t Just Stand and Fight—Position Yourself to Win
    Mar 26 2025
    There’s a freedom revolution quietly unfolding—and it’s not coming through politics. More and more people are taking matters into their own hands—setting up offshore structures, getting second residencies, diversifying their assets, and ensuring they’re not boxed in by failing systems. It’s not about fear—it’s about options and the ability to act on your own terms when things get messy. In today’s episode, I sat down with Austrian economist Bob Murphy on The Bob Murphy Show to break down this transformation and share what I’m seeing on the ground with clients around the world. TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH BOB MURPHY:
    • Tune in to hear Bob and me break down Trump’s showdown over the Panama Canal—and how it pushed China’s Belt & Road Initiative out of Panama.
    • Discover why Nayib Bukele’s unapologetic leadership is turning heads—and what El Salvador is doing differently to attract global attention.
    • Listen in as I share the story about purchasing pesos in Argentina’s “blue market”—this was wild!
