Jack sits down in Panama City with Emilio Chi, the co-founder of Consultores IND, an engineering firm specializing in non-destructive testing and structural diagnostics. They break down how critical maintenance is in a market that loves to build fast but rarely budgets for long-term health. The conversation expands into Panama’s unique advantages, from logistics and finance to a skyline boom that keeps technical inspection in constant demand. They explore cultural realities, the entrepreneurial mindset gap, and the shift from small hustles to scalable, system-driven businesses. At its core, the episode is about identifying risk early, using geography as a lever, and acting on ideas before the market passes you by.
