2026/02/18

Most politicians talk about reform, but there are very few who actually pick up a shovel and start filling potholes themselves. And in the case of Panama City’s Mayor, Mayer Mizrachi, he’s done exactly that. In today’s episode, I’ll share with you the story of Panama City’s young, savvy, crypto-friendly Mayor. He’s no career politician, not by a longshot. He’s a tech entrepreneur and a former political prisoner. Now, he’s reshaping one of Latin America’s most strategic capital cities with a

2026/01/28

The annual gathering of global elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos is usually an easy skip. It typically features a parade of bureaucrats and technocrats, both elected and unelected, proudly touting their plans for “managing the world.” But this year, there were a couple of particularly interesting speeches from two world leaders who stand in stark opposition to one another.

For decades, Venezuela has been ravaged by socialism and the rule of strongmen like Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.

The conventional path for young men is breaking down. College is more expensive than ever, jobs are disappearing faster than degrees can keep up, and an entire generation is being pushed into debt, confusion, and dependence before they’ve even had a chance to build real-world skills.

Many medical professionals think of freedom in terms of choosing their own hours or running a private practice. But true freedom goes far beyond that — it’s about protecting your wealth, your mobility, and your options when the system turns against you. The world is changing fast, and without an international Plan-B, even the most accomplished physicians can find themselves boxed in by taxes, regulations and frivolous lawsuits.In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Alex from the Physicians and

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.

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
