The American Dream is Alive & Kicking

Bashing America and pronouncing her immediate demise has been a popular media pastime for years. It is particularly evident among European media outlets with their condescending and "holier than thou" views of the USA and her people.

For decades European businesses have built enterprises in America, but some in the media would have us believe the USA is no longer relevant, a relic of the past. They say that European entrepreneurs looking to grow their companies abroad would be better off checking out Asia or the Middle East. The reality, of course, is far different.

At Mount Bonnell Advisors, we talk to hundreds of European entrepreneurs every year, and it's obvious the desire to "Go West" is as strong as it has always been. In fact, with the turbulence and turmoil in Europe and the UK (just think of Brexit and the handling of the pandemic), we dare say there has been an enormous surge of entrepreneurs looking for a future in the US.

Move Your Business To The United States is a practical, thought-provoking, entertaining and much-needed podcast series for European and UK entrepreneurs considering moving or expanding their business to the US. Episodes are packed with practical ideas, inspirational advice and fascinating tales to help entrepreneurs better understand America, its people and the possibilities.

The series doesn't sugarcoat or idealise life in the USA. Despite the appeal and prospects of doing business stateside, there are tough political choices and many other complex issues to make sense of. We don't shy away from the challenges facing America or from asking hard-hitting questions. Nor do we present a false narrative, the one perpetrated by media outlets that, as far as European entrepreneurs are concerned, it's game over for the US.

Whether discussing setting up a company in America, raising philosophical questions about freedom and the role of government or exploring other pressing issues, hosts Nkem Ifejika, Sebastian Sauerborn, and guests tap into the unvarnished truth about the USA – as much a land of opportunity as it is of challenges.
