Welcome to Rethink Expats, the show for Americans abroad who want to stop guessing and start making smart, compliant decisions about their money, tax, and life across borders.
Welcome to Rethink Expats
What this show will and will not do for Americans abroad.
We set expectations, share why cross-border rules are different from anything you dealt with in the U.S., and explain how to use the podcast, tools, and checklists so you can make better decisions instead of feeling overwhelmed.
Episode 1
American Expats: You’re Never Out of Sight
You may live abroad, but for U.S. tax purposes you never really “left.
We explain how the U.S. tax system follows citizens and green card holders around the world, what “U.S. person” actually means, and why ignoring that status can get expensive fast.
Episode 2
Why Expats Avoid Advisors – And Why It Costs Them
Many Americans overseas have been burned or confused by advisors, so they avoid getting help altogether.
We unpack the fear, mistrust, and bad past experiences, and show you how to tell the difference between sales talk and real cross-border expertise so you can decide when it’s time to get advice and who to trust.
Episode 3
Banking Without Borders
Accounts closed, wires blocked, extra questions from compliance – de-risking hits expats hard.
This episode covers the basics of opening, keeping, and moving money across borders, what banks worry about, and how to keep your banking life as simple and stable as possible while living abroad.
Episode 4
The Licensing Lie – How “Exceptions” Put Americans Abroad on the Hook
“I can advise you as an exception” is a red flag.
We talk through what proper U.S. licensing actually looks like, why it matters for you as an American abroad, and how to ask the kind of questions that quickly reveal whether someone is really allowed to advise you on U.S. assets.
Episode 5
When Politics Travels With You
New laws, elections, and policy changes do not stop at the border.
We explain how changes in Washington can affect your tax bill, investments, and retirement planning even if you haven’t lived in the U.S. for years, and how to stay informed without obsessing over every headline.
