323: Living Off-The-Grid In Latin America – Patrick Hiebert

Living off-grid doesn’t have to mean “barely getting by” and going without our favourite life amenities. In fact, today’s guest, Patrick Hiiebert, is building luxury, freedom-oriented, off-grid communities right here in Latin America.  Like myself, Patrick was born in Canada and now lives in Latin America. He is the CEO and one of the founders of EcoVillages and VidaVerde AgroForestry. Through his work at EcoVillages, he has founded Veritas Village Panama, a luxury off-grid community outside of Panama City.   

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH PATRICK HIEBERT:

• Listen in to find out how Patrick and his family ended up falling in love with and living full-time in Latin America.
• Learn why Patrick intends to win back the term “eco” from climate commies who have distorted it to be conflated with socialism.
• Can you really live off-the-grid while having all the amenities of luxury, first-world living? Patrick reveals the pieces that make the concept work.
• Discover what the future holds for the Veritas concept and what other countries are on the radar for potential Veritas-inspired communities.
• Tune in to hear Patrick and I brainstorm some wild ideas together for expanding this off-grid luxury concept. 
• Find out how living in an off-grid community not only improves your way of life but drastically decreases your cost of living. 
• Hear Patrick explain why the demand for this type of self-sufficient community has skyrocketed since COVID restrictions of a few years ago. 
• By the end of this conversation, you’ll fully understand why Latin America provides an ideal, welcoming and safe environment for these off-grid communities.

I have great news. After many meetings and explanations, the Panamanian government has agreed to keep the Investors Visa at a $300k Real Estate investment instead of nearly doubling the amount required, as they said they would. This is a massive win for our community who wants to move to or invest in Panama, but I am not sure how long this will last… If you have been thinking about Panama, then I want to make an invitation to you today. Come join me for a special four-day tour to see if the country I call home is right for you and your family. We have just released the next set of trip dates.
