Henderson is standing on a stage in Cancun, Mexico. It is January 2016. He is at his own conference called Passport to Freedom. And he is telling the audience he is done. No more conferences.
“Come to Cuenca, where flowers bloom from your toilet water!”
That joke comes from Henderson’s mastermind group over breakfast in Medellin, Colombia. They were laughing about retirement newsletters that overhype cheap countries with ridiculous copywriting. You know the type. “Live on a tropical beach for $623 a month!” Meanwhile Costa Rica, Belize, and Panama have already been burned through by the newsletter crowd. Ecuador was next.
Picture this. A packed conference room in Las Vegas. People who paid two thousand dollars each to hear one guy tell them they do not have to live where they were born.
