Entrepreneurs and home-based professionals are rebranding themselves by moving abroad, investing, and thriving in countries like the Philippines.
With rising stress, violence, and economic instability in the United States, why stay trapped in a cycle that’s no longer working for you? Re-invent yourself—and your business—on your own terms. Escape the grind and explore what freedom truly feels like outside of the borders of the U.S.

Welcome back to Kareem Jackson Live! On The Set, where we get real about life beyond the borders of the United States. Today, we’re diving deep into what it means to stop participating in this “New Plantation America Experiment.” It’s time to take control of your own narrative, your own destiny.
Imagine if we just left—divested from this system that’s got us locked in as consumers, never fully owning our lives. The future’s looking grim for so many. Retired folks who did everything ‘right’ are still clocking in to make ends meet, despite having homes, 401(k)s, and the so-called American Dream. And yet, the system continues to fail them as life expectancy drops and stress takes its toll.
That’s why so many, especially entrepreneurs and home-based professionals, are opting out. They’re realizing it’s possible to re-invent, re-brand, and live a better life—whether that’s in the Philippines, Ghana, Mexico, or somewhere else. And it’s not just individuals; even big companies start one way and evolve. So why not us? Let’s talk about the power of rebranding yourself, even if it’s not in the U.S.
