387: The Leaders Shaping Latin America’s Shift Toward Freedom
Longtime listeners of this podcast know that I have been talking about Latin America as the last real bastion of freedom for years. And the recent political shift away from its socialist past is clear evidence of this.
In today’s episode, we take a look back at the highlights from the past year’s discussions of Latin America’s rising trend of freedom-oriented leaders like Javier Milei, Santiago Peña, Nayib Bukele, Jose Raúl Mulino, and more. You’ll see the clear evidence of what I’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years now: Latin America is the future. Enjoy!
IN TODAY’S EPISODE
- Listen in as I explain why Latin America has shifted away from socialism and towards pro-business and pro-freedom leadership
- Hear my breakdown of Javier Milei’s Davos speech and Argentina’s libertarian reset
- Learn why Paraguay and Paraguay have become top Plan-B destinations, in no small part thanks to their current leadership
- Find out why I've been calling Latin America the future hub for freedom for years now, and how these leaders are helping prove me more correct than even I could have imagined

Governments Hate This Trip
Paraguay doesn’t make headlines—and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. No wealth tax. No global tax. No chaos. This year, I’m leading a private group into the heart of Latin America’s best-kept secret. You’ll get boots-on-the-ground access to lawyers, investments, and a second residency most people don’t even know exists. Governments hate this strategy—and that’s exactly why it works. If you’re serious about a real escape plan, go to ExpatMoney.com/Paraguay.
