Doing it from the DR with Beau Rakes

A year like 2020 probably had the majority of us fantasizing about what life could be like outside the U.S. I don’t know about you, but the idea of packing up my bags and building something new on a beautiful island is certainly appealing. This week, I brought on Beau Rakes, entrepreneur and ex-pat, to discuss how he transitioned to the Dominican Republic. He’s managed to live full-time in the D.R. while still operating his business stateside. We talk about how he built his business and started investing in real estate from a young age. Much of our conversation revolved around the importance of making connections and networking, which we value highly in the cigar lifestyle.Key Takeaways:Building networks (05:30)Buying property in the D.R.(07:00)Taking the opportunity to change his life (12:50)Why he chose D.R.
