    407: The End Of Easy Energy

    06/05/2026 | 35 mins.
    The world isn’t just reacting to another geopolitical headline; it’s being repriced in real time.

    From Iran and the Strait of Hormuz to Europe’s fragile energy position, this episode breaks down why this isn’t just an oil story; it’s a deliverability crisis that could reshape inflation, markets, and your financial future.

    In today’s episode, I explain what’s really happening beneath the headlines and, more importantly, how expats and international investors should position themselves before the consequences fully hit.


    IN TODAY’S EPISODE

    Tune in as I break down why this isn’t just an oil crisis, but a global “deliverability” crisis that could reshape the economy
    Learn how energy shocks ripple through inflation, supply chains, and central bank decisions
    Hear why Europe is entering this crisis from a position of weakness, not strength.
    Listen in as I outline the five key moves every expat and investor should be making right now

    405: An Escape Plan, While You Can: Safe Havens In A World At War

    22/04/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
    From the U.S. being embroiled in an on-again, off-again war with Iran to Russia’s multi-year conflict in Ukraine, the idea that world superpowers becoming engaged in a hot conflict is no longer some far-flung theoretical exercise; rather, it’s knocking on our door. 

    In this episode, we take a look back at a conversation that is more relevant today than ever, examining the regions and countries that would be safest in the event of a truly global conflict. Unfortunately, that reality seems closer every day. 


    IN TODAY’S EPISODE

    Tune in to hear why today’s geopolitical tensions may be even more dangerous than during the Cold War
    Find out what a full-scale war involving the U.S., Russia, or China would actually look like 
    Which regions of the world will be safest when a full-scale global conflict breaks out? 
    Learn whyreactingto global events is a losing strategy, and why a properly structured Plan-B acts as “geopolitical insurance.”

    404: World War 3 Watch: A Fragile Ceasefire & Revoked Visas

    15/04/2026 | 51 mins.
    World War 3 isn’t coming…it’s been unfolding in front of our very eyes. From rising tensions in the Middle East and Europe, recent events are a reminder that, in many ways, we already are a world at war. 

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by my co-host, Marc Clair, as we break down what is happening around the world. From ceasefires to movement restrictions, we discuss how these changes impact real people and the decisions they make.

    Enjoy!

    Tune in as Marc and I break down the latest developments in the Middle East and why a “ceasefire” doesn’t necessarily mean stability
    Listen in as we discuss reports of UAE visa cancellations and what that reveals about how quickly your options can disappear

    403: The UAE: Why I Left a Country I Loved

    08/04/2026 | 30 mins.
    Geopolitical risk in the Middle East is back in the spotlight, and for many people, it’s raising deeper questions about stability, long-term planning, and where to build a life. Recent events have forced a conversation that most prefer to ignore: what happens when you’re living in a region exposed to conflicts far beyond your control?

    In today’s episode, I share a personal story about why I chose to leave the UAE after nearly a decade, despite genuinely loving the country. I break down how that decision was shaped by long-term thinking around risk, family, and resilience.

    Enjoy!


    IN TODAY’S EPISODE

    Tune in as I break down the geopolitical risk that became the #1 driver behind my decision to leave the UAE almost 7 years ago
    Get a behind-the-scenes look at the moment I realized staying would be the bigger risk than leaving
    Listen in as I break down why a “great country today” can still be the wrong place for your family’s long-term future
    Hear how food, water, and energy resilience influenced our decision about where to move next
