From Bureaucrat to Beachfront: Why He Left Canada for Mexico
Manage episode 508254358 series 3551186
What makes a man leave a 20-year career in the Canadian federal government to start over in Mexico? In this episode, Dionysus sits down with Ogi Vukos, a former public servant turned real estate developer, who now helps Canadians, Americans, and Europeans buy property in Mexico — the right way.
From his early days investing in Ottawa duplexes to living in a gated community in Mérida, Ogi shares how real estate became the key that unlocked his dream life: more time, less stress, and a lifestyle most only see on vacation.
This isn’t a retirement fantasy — it’s a calculated reinvention. You’ll hear:
- The myth-busting truth about living and investing in Mexico
- How real estate funded his exit from the 9–5 grind
- Why land is the smartest play in emerging markets
- What Canadians don’t know about Mexico’s legal protections
- And the mindset shift that helped him finally slow down — and live
If you’ve ever dreamed of a life beyond the border, this episode is your blueprint.
