Episode guide
Season One
Biweekly, about 42 minutes, on podcast platforms and YouTube.
01
The World Is Mispriced
The founding thesis: you're not broke, you're in the wrong market. Currency, political and structural conditions put the first rung back within reach abroad.
02
The Arbitrage, in Numbers
The math: how home-currency income and savings change in value the moment they cross the border.
03
Real Assets, Real Prices
What entry-level property abroad costs, and how to judge it against being priced out at home.
04
Buy the Business, Not Just the Building
Starting or buying a small business abroad, where the cost of entry is within reach and the income is real.
05
Strong Dollar, Weak Dollar
How the picture changes with your currency, dollar, loonie or euro, when it is strong and when it turns.
06
The Currency Trap
The other side of the trade: how depreciation eats returns, and how structure can limit the damage.
07
Capital In, Yield Out
How a modest stake becomes local income, and what it takes to bring the money home.

Colombia: The Beachhead
A market study and an honest look at political risk, up close.
10
The Case Study
