Ep. 129: Germany Residency, Big Business Updates & What's Next

This one is a casual catch-up, and it covers a lot of ground. Whitney shares the full story behind the decision not to pursue German residency, including the tax and business ownership complications that most "just move to Europe" advice never mentions. She explains what happens when you run a US business while living abroad, why physical presence in a country can make you a tax resident, and how wealth taxes and exit taxes changed the math for her and Dylan. From there she shifts into business mode: what her team is building with AI right now, why she believes courses are giving way to done-for-you services and guided execution, and the tools she's dreaming up to help wellness pros write emails and update their websites faster. If you've ever wondered what's actually happening behind the scenes of her business, this is the episode.Takeaways:Immigration and taxes are two separate systems. If you own a US business and run it from another country, that country may treat it as locally managed and tax it accordingly. Income tax is only the start. Wealth taxes, exit taxes, inheritance rules, and mandatory health insurance can completely change whether a move makes financial sense. Courses are losing traction because information is everywhere and time is scarce. Use AI for tasks you already understand or want to do faster.Connect with Whitney:Follow Whitney on Instagram @whitneybatesonSubscribe & Review:If you’re enjoying the podcast, don’t forget to follow and leave a review!
