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.

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.   Resources Mentioned  I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi (book)  Money for Couples Podcast by Ramit Sethi All Bank - get $100 when you open a new bank account Coliving.com - find affordable coliving spaces in 70+ countries  Outsite.co - find coliving spaces, community, and perks for remote workers   Connect With Chelsea Riffe  Website: chelseariffe.com Podcast: In My Non-Expert Opinion Instagram: @chelseariffe   Other Episodes You'll Enjoy:  Ways To Travel Without Getting into Debt - Episode 143  How To Travel Debt-Free with Cinneah El-Amin - Episode 82  Digital Nomad Lifestyle Pros and Cons with Tom Blake - Episode 84

Chris Redmond is back on The RAG for the third time and his story keeps getting better.When I first interviewed Chris in 2019, he'd just gone fully remote and was chasing a digital nomad lifestyle with no fixed office. At the time, I thought he was mad.Then COVID hit, and while the rest of the industry scrambled, Chris and his team were already built for the new world.Fast forward to now, Redholt is a retained headhunting firm running at 60 percent profit with just 8 people.

Welcome weary podcast traveller! Time to take a seat, kick off your dusty sandals and voyage with us, your hosts, into the murky land of digital nomad discourse. In a recent piece for The Guardian US, freelance journalist and former digital nomad Emily Bratt explores the less glamourous side of island hopping and beach bar working. She writes: "Somewhere around the midway mark of my most recent six-month trip, something happened. A whisper of a thought began to emerge at the back of my mind. By the final month, it was a pervasive shriek: What am I doing?” And in a world where more and more people are planning to ditch their desk and fixed address, we're forced to ask: is working on the move an F U to capitalism, or is it just the same old slog in slightly shorter trousers? Thank you so much for all of your comments and takes on this topic- they were as thought-provoking, sensitive and honest as always. Follow us on IG & TikTok @ everythingiscontentpod if you would like to take part in future episodes or see some BTS footage.

This week, we're diving into the hot takes, hard truths, and hilariously uncomfortable questions that digital nomads are asking online, from Reddit rabbit holes to unfiltered social threads. No prep, no script, just real talk.Some answers might surprise you. Some might offend you. All of them? Raw and real.

Several countries offer even lower taxes and an excellent quality of life. In today's video, Mr Henderson compares Dubai to Dublin, Ireland and its sometimes overlooked non dom program and explains why, for entrepreneurs, investors, and even families, Ireland could be the smarter long-term strategy.

What happens when you choose freedom over fear? Michelle Coulson's story reveals the extraordinary path that unfolds when you dare to break free from conventional expectations.Michelle always knew she wasn't destined for the traditional path. Even as a child growing up in a small town outside Manchester, she dreamed of life "abroad" – though she couldn't yet define where that would be. After a year in Spain with her family at age 12, the seed of adventure took root, setting her on a trajectory that would eventually lead to solo cycling across Europe and founding a business that helps others reclaim their freedom.Her journey weaves through working at a Florida country club in her twenties (where she formed her initial impressions of Americans), spontaneously visiting Times Square for New Year's Eve with a stranger she met on the subway, and eventually embarking on a transformative solo cycling trip from Montenegro to France. Despite the challenges of mountain terrain, cold temperatures, and loneliness, this journey crystallized her understanding of what truly matters in life.When the pandemic hit, Michelle's adventurous spirit couldn't be contained by lockdown restrictions. She escaped to Cornwall in search of surf and her "happy place" by the ocean, eventually making her way to Bali in 2021. When her employer demanded she return to the office after 18 months of successful remote work, Michelle made the bold decision to quit rather than compromise her freedom.This pivotal moment led to the birth of Remote Rebellion, her company dedicated to helping others secure remote work that aligns with their values and desired lifestyle. Drawing from her extensive recruitment experience and personal journey, Michelle now leads a global team scattered across seven countries, proving that work can happen from anywhere when you build with intention.Whether you're contemplating a career change, dreaming of location independence, or simply seeking inspiration to live more adventurously, Michelle's story demonstrates that the question isn't whether you can break free – it's whether you're willing to take that first step. As she says, adventure means "breaking out of your comfort zone and trying something a little new and maybe a little scary."Ready to rebel against limitations and design a life on your own terms?

Amar Ghose has been growing Zenmaid from idea to market leader as a non-technical founder. Zenmaid is a SaaS platform that's been helping maid service owners grow their businesses since 2013. Amar is one of those amazing founders who truly embodies the bootstrapping spirit—when his co-founder left early on at just $15k in monthly revenue, he could have easily given up. Instead, he stuck with it, and through relentless customer focus and persistence, he's built ZenMaid into a $150k per month business over the past 12 years.What makes Amar's story particularly inspiring is that he's a non-technical founder who used a customer development approach from day one, really listening to his market and building exactly what maid service owners needed. He's also created an incredible content marketing ecosystem around ZenMaid—from YouTube channels to the Maid Summit conference to podcasts—always focused on helping maid service owners succeed rather than just selling software.We're talking about the power of persistence in bootstrapping, how to build as a non-technical founder, the importance of customer development, and how to create content that truly serves your community. We'll also dive into building a remote-first, location-independent company and staying focused on your customers' success over quick growth.The blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/amar-ghose-from-non-technical-founder-to-saas-innovator/The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/403-amar-ghose-from-non-technical-founder-to-saas-innovatorCheck out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

What happens when you've optimized everything… and growth still stalls? In this episode, Dan and Ian break down a powerful distinction most founders miss: the difference between optimization (making your business run smoother) and growth (finding and testing new paths to scale). They unpack insights from Growth Levers by Matt Lerner, a framework that helped PayPal and other startups unlock massive growth and why it still applies to bootstrappers today. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Dan and Ian run operations in under 5 hours per week using the “Four Bricks”: financials, a measured plan, individual scorecards, and pulse meetings (aka the Daily Huddle). Plus: why growth experiments often fail, how to avoid optimization creep, and how interviewing your customers using the “Jobs to Be Done” framework can reveal the 10% that leads to 90% of your growth.
