S3 E9 | He Built a $3M Retreat… and Watched It Disappear Overnight | Harlow Newton

Harlow Newton has lived more lives than most: BMX racing champion in El Salvador, dot-com pioneer building websites in Notepad back in 1996, and founder of a $3M retreat center in Costa Rica that vanished overnight in a 2017 hurricane. In this episode, Harlow shares how he sold his tech company to fund his dream, financed land purchases on credit cards, and rebuilt from scratch after losing everything, his house, his passports, his life's work, with no insurance to fall back on. He opens up about his darkest moment, the mentors who shaped him, and his philosophy on wealth, family, and what really matters when everything falls apart. Now running VIDA Blue Clay and Tico Guide Travel, Harlow is proof that reinvention is always possible. A masterclass in resilience, risk, and rebuilding from zero.
