From Fort Worth to London to Barcelona — and a few napkin mishaps in between — The Expatriate Act is a jet-lagged confession of courage, culture shock, and unfiltered ambition. Clifton and Shay catch up with longtime friend and globe-trotter Todd Cowen, who swapped American comfort for European heat (and tax perks). They dive into the lust and loneliness of life abroad — the thrill of reinvention, the seduction of freedom, and the reality of translation fails that land harder than a tapas hangover. From Texas grit to Catalan charm, it’s wanderlust with attitude — and zero apologies.
