About This Episode

Spencer Barber left the familiarity of Utah real estate to tackle a luxury home community in Costa Rica. In this episode we cover everything from teak wood ceilings and subdivision timelines to the painful lessons of moving families abroad and why he’s still bullish on the project. 

Expect straight talk on Bitcoin savings strategies, macro risks, Fourth Turning dynamics, and practical developer tips that could save you years (and hundreds of thousands) if you’re eyeing international projects. Father, builder, thinker — Spencer delivers grounded wisdom with a side of humor.

Let me know if you want variations (e.g., more emphasis on Bitcoin, Fourth Turning, or family angle), a shorter version for social media, or episode-specific hooks if certain topics stood out in the interview!
