After years and years of investing internationally, I’ve rarely seen a supply-demand gap as wide as what’s happening in Northeast Brazil right now.

Over the past decade, Canada has rapidly slid from a respected nation to one that many people now see as a cautionary tale of the logical end of extreme progressivism taking over a political system. Meanwhile, things here in Latin America are moving in the opposite direction, as the region continues to shift towards embracing more pro-freedom and pro-business policies.  I sat down for a conversation with my friend Shaun Newman to discuss the current state of Canada and how it contrasts with what I’ve been seeing on the ground here in Latin America. We dive into the various factors contributing to Canada’s decline, and contrast them with the massive pro-freedom changes currently happening in much of Latin America.  Enjoy!   IN TODAY’S EPISODE: Listen in as Shaun and I skewer Canada’s environmental policies and green agenda, from bird-slaughtering wind farms to fines for walking in the woods Tune in as we lament on how we both used to feel pride while travelling the world as Canadians… but today, we’re embarrassed to admit where we’re from.

Owning precious metals offshore is one of the cornerstones of any fully formed Plan-B. With governments constantly inflating currencies and manipulating markets, owning history’s most reliable form of currency is a no-brainer.

This is where the necessity of offshore vaults comes into play.  In today’s episode, I am joined by Jeremey Varlow, who oversees Business Development & SWP Capital for Strategic Wealth Preservation (SWP) in the Cayman Islands. Jeremy shares the story of how he found himself moving to the Cayman Islands from Vancouver, what life is like in Cayman for residents and investors alike, and what makes Cayman such an ideal offshore jurisdiction.    IN TODAY’S EPISODE Tune in as Jeremy shares the unique set of circumstances that led him from Canada to the Cayman Islands Listen in to hear about Jeremy’s pathway to achieving Permanent Residency in Cayman, and what the eventual path to citizenship looks like Learn what makes Cayman the premier offshore jurisdiction in the Caribbean Find out how you can use offshore gold holdings for your financing by taking loans backed by your own gold.

If your retirement money is tied up in an IRA or a 401(k) and exposed to the ups and downs of the U.S. stock market, your retirement savings may be more vulnerable than you think. With growing debt, inflation, and political uncertainty, relying solely on Wall Street is becoming an increasingly risky strategy. That’s why I brought in Matt Calhoun from Equity Trust for a timely discussion on how to regain control with a self-directed IRA. In this episode, we cover how to use it to invest in foreign real estate and other real assets that can help protect and diversify your portfolio for the long term.   IN TODAY’S EPISODE: Learn how a self-directed IRA is unique from most in that you can direct and manage your own portfolio, including the type of assets you invest in.  Uncover the wide variety of assets that you can own using self-directed IRAs, from precious metals to cryptocurrency to international real estate. Discover the very few types of assets that retirement accounts are prohibited from managing. Cross these off your list of investment ideas for IRAs.  Hear about the most common mistakes people make using self-directed IRAs so that you don’t make them yourself!   DON’T MISS THE EXPAT MONEY SUMMIT 2025!
