While many investors focus on growing wealth, far fewer understand how to protect wealth from inflation, economic uncertainty, market volatility, financial system risk, and long-term purchasing power erosion. In this episode, I sit down with David Beahm, President and CEO of Blanchard & Company, to discuss how investors use Physical Gold, Gold Investing, Precious Metals Investing, Inflation Protection, Portfolio Protection, Asset Protection, and Safe Haven Assets as part of a broader wealth preservation strategy. If you've ever wondered: ✅ Should I own physical gold? ✅ Is gold a good inflation hedge? ✅ Gold vs Bitcoin: which is the better store of value? ✅ What is the difference between gold bullion and rare coins? ✅ Should I own silver alongside gold? ✅ How much gold belongs in a portfolio? ✅ Are gold ETFs as safe as physical gold? Then this episode is for you. David shares decades of insight into how investors think about preserving purchasing power, reducing Counterparty Risk, diversifying portfolios, and protecting generational wealth during uncertain economic environments. Whether you're a physician, entrepreneur, business owner, investor, or high-income professional, this conversation explores practical wealth protection strategies and timeless investing principles that can help you make more informed decisions about risk management and long-term financial security. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Sponsor Shout Out 00:35 Episode Introduction 01:05 Disclaimer 01:25 Meet David Beahm 02:00 Why Investors Buy Gold 03:10 Gold Bullion vs Rare Coins 04:35 Best Precious Metals Strategy for Beginners 05:45 Rare Coins as Collectible Assets 06:45 American Eagles vs Maple Leafs vs Krugerrands 08:00 Gold Confiscation & Wealth Protection 09:15 Physical Gold vs Gold ETFs 10:40 Gold vs Bitcoin 12:00 Safe Storage for Physical Gold 13:00 Depositories, Insurance & Security 14:10 Depository Costs & Fees 14:45 Gold vs Silver Investing 15:50 Silver Demand, AI Infrastructure & Future Trends 16:45 Midroll 17:10 Final Investing Insights 17:45 Outro #WealthPreservation #GoldInvesting #PhysicalGold #PreciousMetals #InflationProtection #PortfolioProtection #AssetProtection #GoldBullion #SilverInvesting #GoldVsBitcoin #AlternativeInvestments #FinancialFreedom #GenerationalWealth #EconomicUncertainty #LongTermInvesting Financial Freedom for Physicians, Copyright 2026

Jimmy Miller is a cross-border financial planner with more than 25 years of experience helping Americans navigate international tax rules, retirement planning, offshore investing, and global wealth strategy. In this episode, he reveals the biggest IRS tax traps expats unknowingly walk into—and how to avoid them before they cost you thousands. 🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode If you've ever asked: • Do Americans still pay taxes while living overseas? • How does the IRS tax expats? • What are the best countries for retire overseas strategies? • Is a Roth IRA still tax free abroad? • How do you legally reduce taxes in retirement? • What is the best tax free retirement strategy? This episode breaks it all down. Jimmy explains why America is one of the only countries that taxes worldwide income, how cross border financial planning impacts your investments, and why retirement accounts can either create freedom—or become future tax time bombs. 💡 Why This Episode Matters Most people think moving abroad automatically lowers their taxes. That’s not true. Without proper planning, expat taxes can become incredibly complicated: ❌ Double taxation ❌ Foreign bank reporting requirements ❌ Offshore investment tax penalties ❌ Retirement income becoming taxable overseas ❌ IRS reporting mistakes Jimmy explains how strategies like the foreign earned income exclusion, proactive retirement planning, and proper investment structures can help Americans legally optimize taxes while building long-term wealth abroad. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (23:13) 00:00 – Intro: Financial freedom & living abroad 01:45 – Why Americans are moving overseas 03:30 – Biggest tax considerations before leaving the US 05:30 – Best countries for tax-friendly living abroad 06:30 – Marriage, visas & passport diversification 08:00 – Is the American passport still valuable? 09:20 – Midroll: Tax strategy for high-income professionals 10:10 – What are IRS tax time bombs? 12:20 – How to legally “divorce the IRS” 14:20 – Tax planning vs legal gray areas 15:15 – Real estate tax traps explained 17:20 – Bitcoin, gold & alternative investments 19:10 – Offshore banking & IRS reporting 20:10 – Fine art investing & taxes 20:45 – Why Jimmy lives globally 21:35 – Jimmy Miller’s book & resources 22:15 – Outro: Building leverage & financial freedom 📈 HASHTAGS #ExpatTaxes #LivingAbroad #USTaxes #GeoArbitrage #FinancialFreedom #TaxStrategy #DigitalNomad #RothIRA #RetireOverseas #Investing Financial Freedom for Physicians, Copyright 2026
