  • Remote workers paid to relocate, with the COO of Make My Move

    Communities around the world are starting to compete for remote workers by offering wild incentives to make the move to a new town. They want you to bring your remote salary, and in exchange, they offer you a better quality of life, lower cost of living, a community that wholeheartedly wants to welcome you, cash (sometimes $10,000+!), and a range of additional benefits - from courtside seats at the local basketball game, to “rent a grandparent” programs to provide free childcare. Make My Move’s COO stops by today to dive into this concept, discuss some of the most interesting towns and incentives offered, and how you can take advantage of this opportunity.

  • Family of five travels the world + expat tax updates & emerging trends
    David McKeegan stops by the show today to update us on his experience hitting the road again for the first time since pre-pandemic. As a family of five with three children, he and his wife, Carrie, have been somewhat nomadic for quite some time - so slowing down and settling into a life abroad for the past few years in Costa Rica was a bit different. But they just finished a nine month tour through eight different countries, and all is well in their world again! David fills us in on some of their nomadic family dynamics and experiences from the road, as well as some emerging international trends they recognized during their trip through Asia. Finally, as tax season is upon us for US expats - and David is the Co-Founder at Greenback Tax - we take this opportunity to hear some updates on what our American expat listeners need to know for 2023.
    We want to say a special thanks to David because this episode and every episode during this season has been brought to you by his team at Greenback Tax, which happens to be the #1 company in the world for US expat taxes, and the team I’ve trusted with my taxes since 2015.
