Most people only dream about sending this email.
I sent it after 14 years in corporate.
I’d already given my two weeks. A few days later, I walked out the door past managers and friends.
Steady pay. From the outside, the perfect setup.
But around 4pm one Monday, it hit me. I wasn’t tired. I was watching my own ideas die, one meeting at a time.
So I jumped. And joked I might end up foraging for food.
I was only half joking. I’d be living off savings. And the money scared me less than what people would think.
But a paycheck can disappear. What you learn doesn’t.
That’s what I took with me. It became 8 years running an agency, 20+ apps built, and now a solo business I run mostly from Latin America.
And the “$100/hr ;) jk” at the bottom?
Wasn’t a joke for long.
What would you walk away from if nobody was watching?

“Aren’t you scared to go to South or Central America?”
The answer is a resounding no:
- It’s no more scary than much of the US
- There’s no lack of McDonalds 😂
Of course it depends on what part you visit, but Panama is super safe and a fairly wealthy country with the canal.
Cost of living for most things is still less than the US, especially Uber rides and services so your US dollar goes further.
While it’s not as cheap as Colombia/Ecuador - it’s a great entry for any expat trying to adjust to life outside of the US with still maintaining a close proximity.
Where’s your favorite place to travel or live?
