In this special rewind episode of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm sharing a collection of live, on-location clips from our Caribbean research trips as we searched for the future home of the Homestead Hideaway. If you're new here or just haven't gone back to the early days, this is your chance to catch up on the real, unedited moments — recorded live from Grenada, Bequia, and Barbados — as Brian and I toured properties, met incredible locals, and prayed our way through one of the biggest decisions of our lives.

This episode picks up the story after last week's deep dive into the origin of the Homestead Hideaway — the calling, the dream, the 40-year thread. This week is about what happened next: the actual search for the island. You'll hear us grading properties in real time, wrestling with pros and cons, and falling in love with a place that everyone kept describing the same way — special.

The "G" in BIGGIE stands for Grow — and this episode is a raw look at growing through the uncertainty of a massive decision, one island visit at a time.

Key Takeaways:

• Hear live reactions from three different Caribbean islands as we toured potential properties in real time
• Learn what made Bequia stand out above Grenada and Barbados
• Understand the practical factors that shaped the decision — tourism season length, land size, accessibility, and community fit
• Discover how relationships with local realtors and advisors shaped the search
• See how faith and prayer guided every step of the process, not just the final decision
• Get a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to scout land for a nonprofit retreat abroad
• Hear our live prayer dedicating this decision and this project to God
• Catch up on where things stood heading into the final stretch before choosing Bequia
