Took a few days off to celebrate turning 44, got home after the party and decided to record a video. Not my best work --but provides a clearer picture of where this thing is headed.

The panel discussion format I'm after is a means to an end, I can't express how eager I am to begin. I'm terrible at talking head videos, and I'm better suited for improvised livestreams. Every day I get poked in the eye by a local lady asking when this is going to happen.

Filo Republic has been a full year in the making, so far. I wanted to launch with panel discussions but ran out of runway and decided to pull the trigger ready or not.

Down the line I think it would be rad to host retreats in The Philippines to help acclimate 'fresh off the boat' passport brothers in the best way possible. I'll invite some ladies from the show, and make a good time of it.

This country is far from perfect, but there are some great pockets to carve out a good lifestyle.

In-person meetups here in The PH is a logical next step, one ...
