346: Expat News: Trump’s Tariffs, Canada’s New PM, UK Bans “Ninja Swords”

Trump’s global tariff plan, a surprise shakeup in Canadian leadership, and a crackdown on citizenship programs are just a few of the major stories my co-host and resident newsman Marc Clair and I tackle in this latest edition of Expat News.  After a whirlwind start to the year, we’re back in the newsroom format to bring you the hard truths behind the headlines—and why they matter for freedom-minded individuals like you.

345: Reject the Black Pill & Find Freedom Offshore

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 b

344: Don’t Just Stand and Fight—Position Yourself to Win

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 t

Paraguay has been on my radar for years, and after this latest trip, I’m more convinced than ever—it’s one of the best-kept secrets for expats and investors alike. With a territorial tax system, a pro-business government, and dirt-cheap real estate poised for massive growth, Paraguay checks all the boxes for a solid Plan-B country. In this episode, I sit down with my friend and colleague Marc Clair to discuss the key takeaways from our trip. We covered everything from meeting with government of

Many dream of quitting their jobs to travel the world, but few actually do it—especially after spending a decade climbing the corporate ladder at a Fortune 500 company.

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.
