Appearance on The Best Practices Podcast with Jared Wall

In this episode, I sit down with William, co-founder of Saipan Team, to uncover one of the most surprising and untapped opportunities for entrepreneurs, remote professionals, and manufacturers alike: the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). From its unique tax and tariff advantages, this U.S. territory offers a rare blend of offshore flexibility and American stability.

William shares firsthand insights from living and working in Saipan. We cover everything from affordable housing and internet speeds to a rebate-based tax system that can drop your effective income tax rate to as low as 4.5%. Whether you’re a digital nomad, startup founder, or business owner seeking smarter ways to manufacture and distribute goods to the U.S. mainland to beat tariffs or pad your retirement, this conversation is a revival of America’s golden age of economic freedom.

Other things we cover include…

● How this U.S. territory in the Pacific lets you legally avoid tariffs on imports

compete with onshore products — while paying offshore prices

strategic manufacturing hubs in the Pacific

softly in paradise
