    Ep. 235 Before You Buy in Los Cabos: What Makes a Development Worth Trusting?

    Héctor Cuen, co-founder of FH Real Estate, sits down with Nick Fong to share the story behind one of Los Cabos' most talked-about new developments: Solara del Mar in El Tezal. From starting a company with one million pesos and their word as collateral, to delivering over a thousand homes across Baja California Sur, Héctor and his brother Freddy built FH on a simple principle — if you say it, you do it. In this episode, Héctor breaks down what makes Solara del Mar different: full CFE power, 20,000-liter cisterns, solar-ready units, and amenities that are already open — not promised for a future phase. They also dig into the BCS real estate market, Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal data showing Los Cabos leading national appreciation at 73% over four years, why banks love lending in Baja California Sur, and flexible financing options for both Mexican and foreign buyers. If you're thinking about investing in Los Cabos — or just want to understand what a developer who actually keeps their word looks like — this one's for you. 🏡 Explore Solara del Mar: https://www.findmexicohouses.com/solara-del-mar/ 📩 Contact us: info@ronival.com

    Ep. 236 From Chronic Pain to Peak Performance

    Scott Purcell shares the personal changes that helped him move beyond chronic pain, manage stress more effectively, and build greater energy, focus, and physical resilience. In this conversation with Nick Fong, he reflects on the path that took him from music and entrepreneurship to life in Cabo, real estate, meditation, fasting, sleep optimization, and off-road motorcycle racing. They also discuss breathing techniques, the role of community, the importance of spending time in nature, and why wellness is about much more than diet or exercise. It is a candid look at what can happen when curiosity, discipline, and a willingness to change become part of everyday life—especially after 50.

    Ep. 235 The Project Cabo Was Missing Solar-Ready. Move-In Ready. Built to Last.

    In this episode Nick sits down with Héctor Cuen, co-founder of FH Inmobiliaria, to talk about Solara del Mar, a residential community in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur. The conversation covers the story behind FH Inmobiliaria, a local developer with more than 14 years of experience and over 1,000 homes delivered, as well as the vision behind Solara del Mar: a Cabo real estate project built with infrastructure, financing, amenities, and long-term community value in mind. Héctor shares why Solara del Mar was designed to address some of the biggest concerns buyers have when purchasing new construction in Los Cabos: water, electricity, public services, financing, construction progress, title readiness, amenity delivery, and whether a project is truly ready to live in. Nick and Héctor discuss the importance of building with water storage, CFE-connected electricity, fiber optic internet, solar-ready homes, completed amenities, and a financially secure construction plan that does not depend entirely on presales. They also talk about the value of working with a local developer who understands Cabo, La Paz, San José del Cabo, and the Baja California Sur real estate market. The episode also highlights Solara del Mar’s community features, including a heated pool, sports bar, gym, coworking area, golf simulator, game room, children’s area, grill spaces, pickleball courts, paddle courts, rooftops with 360-degree views, and homes designed for full-time living, vacation use, or rental income. For buyers, investors, and real estate agents looking at new construction in Cabo San Lucas, this episode offers a closer look at what makes a residential project stronger: location, infrastructure, financial planning, developer track record, amenities, community, and long-term appreciation potential. Topics covered in this episode include Cabo real estate, El Tezal real estate, Solara del Mar, FH Inmobiliaria, new construction in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur real estate, residential communities in Cabo San Lucas, investment properties in Cabo, rent-to-own opportunities, local developers, infrastructure, amenities, appreciation, and the future of living in Cabo. The project Cabo was missing may not be just about more homes. It is about building a community designed to be lived in, rented, trusted, and held for the long term.

    Todos Santos Growth, Controversy & Santa Terra with Abe Juárez

    Todos Santos is growing, and with that growth comes one of Baja California Sur’s most important questions: how can a town evolve without losing the identity that made people fall in love with it? In this episode of The Nick Fong Podcast, Nick sits down with Abe Juárez for a direct conversation about Todos Santos growth, controversy, and Santa Terra. Abe shares the story behind Santa Terra Reserve, the project many people know through Oystera, and explains the vision behind its gardens, farmland, walking trails, restaurants, cultural events, open spaces, and community-driven experiences. The conversation goes into the questions surrounding development in Todos Santos: low density, water concerns, misinformation, community feedback, infrastructure, local employment, cultural preservation, and the responsibility developers have when entering a small town with a strong local identity. Nick and Abe also discuss why Todos Santos is so protective of its character, why many residents fear becoming “another Cabo,” and how growth can create both opportunity and anxiety for local families, Mexican residents, foreign homeowners, artists, entrepreneurs, and investors. This episode is especially relevant for anyone interested in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur real estate, Santa Terra Reserve, Oystera, responsible development, community planning, and the future of the Pacific side of Baja Sur.

    They Lied About Cabo Beaches — Here’s Why

    Most people think Cabo’s beaches are only for looking, not for swimming. That idea has shaped the way many people see the destination for years, but it only tells part of the story. In this episode, Nick sits down with Yair, race director of the Los Cabos Cortes Open, to talk about the reality behind that perception and why open water swimming has been steadily growing in Los Cabos. Together, they explore how the Los Cabos Cortes Open began, how it has evolved into a stronger event with each edition, and why Palmilla Beach has become the ideal setting for a race built around experience, community, and destination appeal. Yair shares what makes the event special, from its 1K, 3K, 5K, and 7K distances to its goal of attracting both first-time swimmers and more experienced athletes from across Mexico and beyond. The conversation also goes beyond the event itself. Nick and Yair talk about the beaches in Los Cabos that people can actually swim, the local misconceptions around ocean conditions, the growth of swim culture in the region, and the bigger opportunity Los Cabos has as a destination for sports tourism. They also discuss Yair’s own background in the sports world, his transition from triathlon into swimming, and the role events like this can play in building a healthier, more connected community. From Palmilla and Chileno to the broader future of open water in Baja California Sur, this episode offers a different way of thinking about Cabo. Not just as a place to visit, but as a place where sport, lifestyle, community, and destination identity are starting to connect in a much more meaningful way. If you think you already know Cabo, this conversation may change your mind. Know more about Los Cabos Cortés Open here

    Ep. 232 The Project That’s Transforming Los Cabos: a healthcare system like no other

    For years, families in Los Cabos faced a reality nobody talks about. If a child needed specialized medical care, they had to travel—either to the U.S. or to other cities in Mexico. Eventually, La Paz became the closest option. In this episode, Nick Fong sits down with Korey Riggs, Executive Director of the Chileno Bay & El Dorado Foundation, to reveal the story behind one of the most important healthcare projects in Baja California Sur. This is not just a conversation about a new facility.It’s about a system that didn’t exist—and the people who decided to change that. From a bold vision to a $14.5M reality, Korey shares what it took to bring world-class pediatric care to Los Cabos, and why this project will impact thousands of families for years to come.

    Ep. 232 | The Truth About Biohacking: What It Really Is (and What It Isn’t)

    What is biohacking?Biohacking is not about living forever or chasing trends. It’s about deliberately upgrading how your body and mind perform—right now. In this episode of the Nick Fong Podcast, Nick sits down with Dale Smith, a lifelong fitness entrepreneur who has spent over 50 years practicing what biohacking looks like in real life: discipline, strength training, breathwork, recovery, cold exposure, infrared therapy, and consistency over decades. This conversation breaks down biohacking in practical terms—what actually matters, what most people misunderstand, and why age is not the limiting factor people think it is. Biohacking, as discussed here, is simple but demanding:train your body, control your breath, recover intelligently, and build discipline that compounds over time. No shortcuts. No motivation hacks. Just long-term performance. Visit Biohack Spa here https://biohackspa.com/
