How Entrepreneur Expat Came to Be
Justin Keltner has been an online business owner for over 15 years and has experience in e-commerce, running a marketing agency and helping 7 and 8 figure entrepreneurs scale their systems and increase profits. A few years ago, he took a destined trip to Medellin, Colombia where he would end up staying for three years. After Colombia, he would end up in Mexico.
Amanda Abella has also been an online business owner for over 15 years. First she was a freelance writer for financial companies and then she transitioned into teaching marketing and sales. An avid traveler, Amanda always knew that someday she'd end up living in other countries.
Justin and Amanda met in 2022 through mutual business contacts and immediately hit it off. Next thing you know they are traveling around Mexico and getting married.
In 2023, they decided to start sharing their adventures on YouTube and via a podcast called Entrepreneur Expat. Being digital marketers, they knew what they were doing when they started the YouTube channel - but nothing could have prepared them for half the world going into elections that same year and everyone wanting to move to different countries.
Within 90 days, the Entrepreneur Expat brand made six-figures selling business training programs, but then came the other part of the equation.
Friends, colleagues and subscribers kept asking about finding real estate, immigration, tax planning and investing in businesses. They needed help not just moving to Mexico, but also finding opportunities.
Justin and Amanda would spend a year traveling the country and creating a network of attorneys, real estate professionals, insurance agents, notaries, accountants in both the U.S. and Mexico, and more to help people.
