I’m writing this from the Pacific coast of Panama, where I’m checking out a real estate investment.
After 3 months in Costa Rica, I got a tip on an up-and-coming beach community here.
It’s amazing, and the prices for true beachfront, ocean-view properties would blow your mind.
The beauty of location-independence — beyond the lifestyle — is that you see opportunities everywhere. And that changes everything.
Here’s what most people don’t understand about building a sovereign startup: It’s not just about escaping your job. It’s about escaping the tyranny of geography.
The United States of Entrapment
Your job ties you to a zip code.
And that zip code is expensive. $3,000/month rent. $8 coffee. $200 grocery runs that used to cost $120. Outrageous health care expenses. Gas prices that make everything worse.
You’re stuck because “that’s where the jobs are.”
You can’t move to a lower cost-of-living area because your job doesn’t exist there.
You can’t relocate internationally because the corporation says no to remote work and
wants to control you“needs you” in the office.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports that 150,000 Americans left the country in 2025: the first net negative migration since the Great Depression.
And it’s just getting started. And they’re not all retirees or wealthy jetsetters.
Jen Barnett, a 54-year-old from Alabama who helps Americans relocate, put it this way:
“Previously, the Americans leaving were super-adventurous and well-credentialed. Now they’re ordinary people, like me.”
The Opportunities You Don’t See from a Cubicle
When you have a location-independent business, additional opportunities appear that the average U.S. citizen never sees:
Real estate investments that make sense.
Business opportunities serving the growing expat population.
Residency and second passports that provide security.
Tax optimization strategies.
Agricultural investments.
Bringing missing services to local markets
You don’t need to pursue all of these. But the fact that you could is what makes it sovereign.
You’re not trapped by geography. You’re not dependent on local job markets. You’re not constrained by the ever-escalating U.S. cost of living and spiraling social problems.
Building It From Day One
Sovereign Startup Foundations teaches you to build this way from day one:
How to serve U.S. clients remotely (earning U.S. rates from anywhere).
How to use AI to handle logistics (so location doesn’t matter).
How to position within movements (where your purpose is what matters).
How to build supporting infrastructure that works anywhere with WiFi.
This isn’t theory. 150,000 Americans proved it works last year.

I’ll be here in Panama until the end of the week, looking at properties that would cost millions on the coasts of the United States. And the way things are going, someday these places may be up there too.
That’s what sovereignty looks like in practice.
And it starts with building a location-independent business while you’re still employed — before a board of directors or middle management makes the decision for you.
The deal is good until Monday. Join us.
Keep going-

P.S. You don’t need to split time between Panama and Mexico (after we return from Europe) like me and my wife to build a sovereign startup. But the fact that you could — and that it would be in your economic interest to do so—is what makes it sovereign. That optionality is what Sovereign Startup Foundations teaches you to build.
