Matthew, happy to have you on FHM, what plans are in the works for you this year?
This year starts the first year of my semi-retirement. In my semiretirement, I plan to focus on promoting Private Placement Life Insurance Policies (a very highlevel tax strategy), writing books, and promoting business retreats and workshops at my estate in Medellin, Colombia.
Being a successful businessman and respected in your field, let's get into what it is you do?
I am a Global Estate Planner. Establishing Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) policies for celebrities and the world's wealthiest people is what I do. My mentor operates in more than 111 countries, and he introduced me to PPLI, which in my opinion, is the "Holy Grail" of all tax strategies. It is a triedand-true tax strategy promoted by some of the largest law firms in the world including #5 Baker McKenzie.
What was your key driving force to become an entrepreneur?
I have a fear of being poor because I grew up poor...the youngest black male of a single mother of six children. I often found myself unemployed even though I was highly skilled and educated. I turned to entrepreneurship to create opportunities for myself. Why wait to sit at someone else's table when a person can make their own table.
