Building an International Plan-B While Still Living in the U.S.

Oct 22, 2025 12:36 pm

What’s it really like to build a full international Plan-B while still living in your home country, especially when you’ve got a family to think about? One client of mine, Ryan, has done exactly that.


While married with four kids, he’s methodically built offshore investments, is in the process of securing second residencies, and has positioned his family for long-term freedom and security… all before making the move abroad. His story proves that protecting your future doesn’t require running; it requires planning.


In today’s episode, my colleague Marc Clair sits down with Ryan to discuss how he and his wife are creating a life of global freedom for their family, from diversifying into international real estate and pursuing residencies in Latin America to choosing jurisdictions that protect their children’s education and values.


It’s an honest look at the practical steps you can take to protect your family’s future, even before you’re ready to give up life in your home country.
