Abroad in America

This often leads to inaction and mistakes. The goal of this podcast is to help non-US citizens and cross-border families living and working in America implement effective strategies to take full advantage of the opportunities to create wealth offered to you in the United States, both while you are in America and even once you have left. Sit back and listen as you go behind the scenes with financial planner, author, and speaker Jimmy Miller to learn how to make your time in America as financially rewarding as possible.
