"I Fast-Forwarded My Life 10 Years”: How...

Hampton
About this episode

What if you could fast-forward your financial goals by ten years just by moving abroad?


That’s exactly what entrepreneur Rob Hoffman did when he relocated to Colombia, where his $3M net worth stretches as if it’s $9M.


Rob, a member of the Hampton community, shares how he built a successful marketing agency while living in Medellín. Once an anti-capitalist hippie, Rob’s journey took him from hitchhiking across Canada to scaling a business with $3.6M in annual revenue—all while crafting a lifestyle-first approach to wealth-building.


In this episode Rob explains:


  • The pros and cons of living abroad for financial and personal freedom.
  • How to build a thriving business while reinvesting savings at an accelerated pace.
  • The ethical considerations of leveraging geo-arbitrage and giving back to your adopted community.


Rob’s story isn’t just about money—it’s about finding a life that feels authentically his. Listen in to hear how he’s navigating wealth, culture, and a path toward financial independence.


This is Moneywise, a podcast where hosts Harry Morton and Sam Parr are joined by high-net-worth guests to explore exclusive insights into personal finance and lifestyle tailored for other high-net-worth people, or those on their way.
