The Move Abroad Coach Podcast

She wasn't working for herself yet. She didn't have a big cash cushion. She moved to Albania anyway, with her dog and six suitcases, and built a dumpling restaurant from the ground up. If you keep waiting until you're "ready," this is your episode.

For a solid year I knew exactly who I wanted to help, and I was too scared to go all in. So I played it safe everywhere except right here on this podcast. This is the behind-the-scenes of what I changed, why our famous bootcamp has a brand new name, and who we really serve now.

Everyone tells you that if you're not posting every day and dancing on TikTok, your business is dead. My guest has made multiple millions without any of it. We get into how you actually make money when you work for yourself, without living on social media: borrowed trust, email, and building your business around your real personality.

Everyone talks about Spain, Portugal, and Mexico. Meanwhile there are seven countries with easy visas for people who work for themselves that almost nobody puts on the list. Here's where they are, what each visa actually takes, and who each one is for. We go all the way around the world: Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.

#111 Would We Actually Move to Greece? Real Talk From the Road

Everyone talks about moving abroad like you sell everything, move to one country, and never come back. But what if that's not what you want? Maybe you want to split your year, hop around for a while, or just spend your summers overseas.

Here's the truth: you don't have to move abroad forever to live abroad. Moving abroad is about relocation. What you actually want is a freedom life, and it doesn't have just one shape. I've lived a dozen different ways in 13 years abroad, and in this episode I'll show you there's a version of this that fits you.

Free workshop: Find Your Freedom Lifestyle
Not sure you want to move to one country forever? I made you a free 10-minute workshop that breaks down my 7 freedom archetypes so you can find the way of living abroad that actually fits you: https://moveabroadcourse.com/design

#64 No You DON'T Have to Hate the US to Move Abroad

How much money do you actually want to make working for yourself? Most people say "eh, I don't need that much," but push a little and the number is almost always $100k. A $100k salary feels totally normal, so why does making it yourself feel impossible?

Here's the truth: it's not that you don't have a strategy, that part we can fix in an afternoon. It's that deep down you don't believe you can, and that belief is the only thing in your way. I spent four years making almost nothing working for myself. Then I changed one thing, and went from $4k to $121k in a single year.

You've got the coaching offer, the freelance clients, the half-built course, the affiliate links, and a Google doc of ten more ideas. And you're still broke. Here's what nobody tells you: those multiple income streams are exactly what's keeping you stuck, and the fix is the opposite of what you've been told.

I went from five scattered income streams and $4k a year to $121k a year later by doing ONE thing. Here's how, and why one focused offer funds the freedom life way faster than five ever will.

#117 Think You Need to Start Over to Move Abroad? Nope, Use What You Know to Make Money Now.
#170 What If You Could Just Make More Money?

A year ago Chris and I moved our whole life from Georgia (the country) to Spain in six weeks, months ahead of schedule, because my bootcamp lit a fire under us. Now, one full year in Málaga, would we actually do it again?

Between us we've lived abroad 13 and 19 years, so this isn't a wide-eyed first-timer recap. We're comparing Spain to every country we've lived in and spilling all of it: what surprised us, what we loved, what we didn't, the brutal bureaucracy, and our honest verdict.

Would we do it again? Tune in to find out.

You can do everything right with your money and still feel like real freedom is never coming. Two financial experts are here to share why the thing holding you back isn't your budget, it's your zip code.

We get into moving abroad as wealth creation, the "safe city premium," why you need way less than you think to retire, and their Wealth Builder's Pyramid.
