Why are so many chasing $10M exits when $3-4M plus a paid-off house might be the real freedom number? Should you be betting big on Bitcoin in 2025, and did we miss out on a massive opportunity 9 years ago? And if you're “unemployable,” is that a badge of honor... or a red flag?

BA Fam, today’s Wash Day Woosah is a treat. We’ve got our girl Giovanna “Gigi” Gonzalez aka The First Gen Mentor, author of Cultura & Cash, and three-time BA guest back on the mic. But this time, she’s not joining us from Chicago… she’s calling in from Spain! In this episode, Gigi shares the money moves and life decisions that made it possible for her and her husband to pack up and move abroad. We talk about: The financial planning behind her big move (and what she wishes she’d known sooner). How she turned her biggest regret—never studying abroad—into a mid-career dream come true. The not-so-sexy side of moving abroad: visas, taxes, and the Spanish version of the IRS (spoiler: don’t mess with Hacienda). What’s surprised her most about living in Spain (yes, even the credit cards work differently). Why she’s pushing for a Spanish-language version of her book to serve first-gen families across borders. We also get real about career pivots, the rise and fall of DEI budgets, navigating relationships with neurodivergence, and why sometimes the real flex isn’t retiring early—it’s having the freedom to choose how and when you work.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to make money while travelling the world, you're not the only one. Digital nomadism is the kind of lifestyle that many dream of, and now more than ever, actually live, and that's thanks to the rise in remote work opportunities. You take your laptop with you from airport to train station to uber to bus, and you decide where and how you work, for whom and sometimes, at what rate. But the unlimited beach-front resorts or vast cafe options don't necessarily fill the void of isolation or lack of routine, and not to mention the never-ending spending that comes with life on the go. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Sonia Dheer, a digital nomad who's hit 40 countries under the age of 30, to discuss the real truth behind the digital nomad lifestyle, and whether or not you're cut out for the glitz and glam of the up-and-go. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us: Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

Working from the beach seems like a dream, but Jessica Wynn shows how being a digital nomad is mostly Wi-Fi nightmares and visa hell on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1191On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Digital nomads are remote workers, not vacationers — they need real skills and jobs to sustain constant travel while managing clients across time zones and unreliable Wi-Fi connections.The digital nomad lifestyle costs more than advertised due to short-term housing, visa fees, coworking spaces, storage, and constant travel expenses. So-called "financial freedom" is often just financial reshuffling.Beware the "digital nomad course industrial complex." Scammers sell empty promises to desperate people, creating pyramid schemes that prey on those seeking lifestyle change.Digital nomads can harm local economies by driving up rents and displacing residents, turning neighborhoods into overpriced Instagram backdrops that locals can no longer afford.If pursuing digital nomadism, start with solid remote work skills and reliable income. Go off the beaten path, support local businesses, learn basic language skills, and respect that locals aren't resort staff.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

So much is possible when you get intentional about your money. Chelsea Riffe's journey is proof that you don't have to wait to take action. You can make aligned, empowering financial choices right where you are, even if you're halfway across the world. After a whirlwind group trip left her deep in debt, Chelsea made a bold decision: get serious about her finances without putting her nomadic lifestyle on pause. She chose destinations with lower costs of living, kept her rent under $1,000 per month, embraced co-living, cooked her meals, and created a simple, sustainable budgeting system that worked on the road. Chelsea didn't wait to become debt-free to live her dream life. Instead, she paid off over $10,000 in credit card debt while traveling full-time — proving that it's possible to pursue financial freedom and explore the world at the same time. This conversation is packed with practical takeaways and mindset shifts for anyone balancing debt, travel, and personal growth.

In this sun-soaked episode of The Radio Vagabond, I take you aboard my unforgettable journey through the Mediterranean on Nomad Cruise. This time, we dock in Menorca, Malta, and Greece, each offering its own flavor of adventure. In Malta, we wander the charming, historic streets. In Greece, we sip local wine at a boutique winery while soaking in the laid-back vibes of the countryside. And somewhere in between, I find myself stepping out of my comfort zone at the cruise ship's talent show. This episode is a mix of personal stories, cultural experiences, and the joy of connecting with fellow digital nomads at sea.
