Rob and Kieran pull back the curtain on the massive, life-altering decisions that made them leave Ireland and the UK forever — and build a dramatically better life in Poland.

In this episode we go deep on:

- How Ireland’s record-breaking harsh lockdowns made Rob’s escape decision almost automatic

- Kieran’s “I’m just visiting” trip that turned into “I’m never going back”

- The honest 2025 reality: why day-to-day life in Poland (cost, safety, culture, freedom) now feels objectively superior

The exact decision-making frameworks we used to take the leap (and that you can use for any big move):

→ Jeff Bezos’ regret-minimization & one-way/two-way door decisions

→ Annie Duke’s “Thinking in Bets” mindset

→ Mel Robbins’ 5-4-3-2-1 rule to kill procrastination and indecision

→ Escaping the sunk cost fallacy (with painful stories of when they did)

→ Beating decision fatigue by habitualising and front-loading choices

→ How small daily decisions compound into a completely different life (Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect)

If you’ve ever dreamed of moving abroad, feel stuck in your current country, or just want to make faster, higher-quality decisions—this episode is your playbook.

Most of us swear we don’t have “issues” with money… until we realize we’re still afraid to invest, still waiting for permission to buy something nice, or still sitting on cash “just in case the world ends tomorrow.”

This episode is about the money curse you never saw written down anywhere, yet it still runs your life: the sound of your parents arguing about bills through thin walls, the endless chorus of “money doesn’t grow on trees,” the slammed kitchen cabinets when the rent was late—little moments that taught you money is pain, scarcity is permanent, and playing it safe is the only smart move.

We get real about growing up broke and how that scarcity blueprint can follow you through life. We talk hoarding vs. true security, class betrayal, generational patterns, and why we’re begging you to stop treating investing like gambling and start treating it like oxygen for your future wealth.

This is the episode that calls out the invisible curse… and hands you the permission (and the push) to finally invest like someone who believes tomorrow can be better than today.

It’s time to stop letting childhood ghosts hoard your potential. Let’s break the curse and build real wealth—together.

Join us this week on Two Expats Abroad as we tackle fear, especially the fear of failure in life, business failure, and investment failure. We dive into the CTFAR coaching model (Circumstances, Thoughts, Feelings, Actions, Results) to explore how our mindset shapes our response to setbacks. From reframing failure and lessons learned to overcoming the shame and judgments tied to it, this episode offers insights you might not have considered before. We also discuss how social circles can amplify these pressures, the comfort zone, perceptions others hold about our endeavors, and the courage to break away from toxic influences.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t your circumstances, your resources, or even your location… but your mindset?

In this very first episode of Two Expats Abroad, we explore the hidden cost of living with a fixed mindset — the quiet ways it keeps you stuck, limits your potential, and convinces you to play small. We unpack how shifting into a growth mindset can completely change what you believe is possible, not just for expats or those moving abroad, but for anyone who craves more freedom, impact, and fulfilment.

Drawing on Carol Dweck’s groundbreaking work on fixed vs. growth mindset, plus powerful insights from Dan Sullivan’s book Who Not How, we share our own experiences of getting stuck, hitting walls, and finding new ways forward. These aren’t abstract theories — they’re the real mindset shifts that helped us reframe challenges, break through self-imposed ceilings, and design lives of greater freedom.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How to recognise when a fixed mindset is holding you back (and why it’s often invisible until you know what to look for)

• Why having the right people around you — people who’ve already walked the path — is essential for breaking through psychological barriers

• The surprising power of asking who, not how, when you want to achieve something big

• The mindset shifts that move you from feeling stuck to building unstoppable momentum toward the life you truly want

If you’ve ever felt like you’re repeating the same patterns, doubting yourself, or hitting a ceiling in your career, relationships, or personal goals, this conversation will hit home. More importantly, it will open your eyes to the truth:

There are no limits to what you can create. No cap. No ceiling. No age that disqualifies you. No excuse that needs to keep you stuck. Any boundaries you feel are self-imposed — and with a growth mindset, you can break free from them.

This is not just about moving abroad, starting fresh, or chasing adventure (though those are part of our story). It’s about realising that your mindset is the key to everything you want in life — freedom, growth, success, and fulfilment.

So whether you’re dreaming about making a big life change, building more independence, or simply stepping into your full potential, this episode is your starting point.
