348: Birth Tourism: How To Secure Your Family’s Future – Mike Qu


Listen Later

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
  • Uncover why this isn’t just about passports, but about setting your entire family tree up for generational success
  • Hear real stories from our own families, and how the experience of birth abroad brought us closer together than ever before
  • 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
