He's been busy since the last time he joined us on About Abroad, so today he stops by to update us on the various projects he's been working on - from nomad villages in the Swiss Alps, to beachside villages in Brazil, and islands off the coast of Africa.

When your lifestyle means you travel all the time, what do you look for in a destination? And what does it mean to feel like you're 'coming home'?Today's guest Gonçalo Hall knows that digital nomads seek community and connectedness, alongside their next adventure - and when you don't live in a fixed location, that sense of community matters more than ever.NomadX is combining the persistence and permanence of a digital community, with a growing network of physical communities - places that digital nomads can find the accommodation and infrastructure they need to do their work, but can also find those less tangible things we all need.  Other people who understand you, events which immerse you in the local culture, and ways to connect, share, and give back. As Gonçalo has memorably explained it, "people don't move from one place to another, they move from one community to another" - and NomadX make that easy, sustainable, and enjoyable.From Madeira to Cape Verde, via Brazil, Switzerland, and a dozen more pins on the map, you can find your tribe wherever you go. And that tribe is changing, differentiating, and growing all the time.Keep up with Gonçalo wherever he goes, athttps://www.nomadx.com/ and on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/goncalohall/ The Future Is Freelance podcast is brought to you by https://xolo.io - and right now, you can try our flagship Xolo Leap product for free for 3 months! https://www.xolo.io/zz-en/leap.

Today I am not joined by just 1 previous guest, but 2, because today I am going to be covering the recent merger of NomadX and Flatio with the founders of each Radim Rezek and Dave Williams. Radim was on the podcast earlier this week on Episode 89, while Dave joined us a few months back on Episode 80. This merger has the opportunity to really shake things up in the mid-term rental market and create real competition for Airbnb as a reliable place for digital nomads to find apartments and houses for rental periods longer than a few weeks, but less than a year, which is really a sweet spot for us global citizens. We covered a ton of stuff during this round table conversation like what led to the merger, what it means for users of NomadX and Flatio, and what we as a community can expect in the next few years as they try to expand into the American market and as the number of digital nomads is only to predicted to explode due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to leave a review and get a shoutout on the next episode of TRL I've made it very easy to do so, all you have to do is head over to RateThisPodcast.com/trl and write your review. That's it, it's that easy! Topics we covered during this interview: - How will the websites function after the merger? - Why 2021 will the year of the digital nomad - Why did NomadX and Flatio decide to join forces? - Why are they keeping the two brands separate instead of collapsing the brands into one brand? - Why Flatio believes it has a leg up on Airbnb in the mid-term rental market - What are some of the product benefits that make NomadX a better rental platform for nomads? - How Flatio & NomadX are making sure that their service isn't harming the local rental market the way Airbnb has. - How remote work will impact secondary and tertiary cities in the United States - Flatio and NomadX's plans for the next 5 years - The future of the digital nomad movement

Tune in to a brand new podcast series covering everything hot in property right now! Hear from Progressive Property's expert trainers each week as they cover the most up to date property news, strategies and tactics in short, informative and educational episodes.   Today, Kevin weighs in on the debate between landlords, students and proposed COVID break clauses, shares his thoughts on the growth of medium-term lets and gives you an insight into the 2021 property market.   Let us know in the Progressive Property Community what your thoughts are on the COVID break clauses debate between landlords and student.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Should landlords consider COVID break clauses? Current proposals state that the landlord should let the student (tenant) out of their contract or provide a rent-free break whilst the students are not staying in the property. Student accommodation platforms are stating that landlord and academic authorities have to consider break clauses and premature tenancy end for student lets with students studying online and lectures being held virtually. There has been a huge growth in medium-term lets such as Airbnb's or up to 6-month rentals. Flatio has acquired digital housing marketplace NomadX in an acquisition worth over £3.6 million to expand medium-term lets into the UK marketplace. As investors, we should be looking at what the bigger players are doing and Serviced Accommodation and medium-term let's are growing.   As a property investor, you should aim to follow the successful. There is going to be a boom in serviced accommodation so piggie back on it. Get in early ahead of the masses and you will get more money from your property as short-term let than a long term let.   2021 Predictions: With Furlough and stamp duty incentives coming to an end in early 2021 we're likely to see a mirror image of the market crash in 2007/2008. Money will slow down and banks will stop lending but professional property investors will scale their business.   BEST MOMENTS “If you look at what the top of the food chain is doing you can replicate it” “This might be the time to start doing some deals in medium-term lets” “Flatio aims to have thousands of UK property lets in its inventory in the next few years” “Those that push forward with their property investments will make significant income over the next few years” VALUABLE RESOURCES Rob Moore - MONEY ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Judy Pearson is the Founder and CEO of Nomadx. Nomadx helps fiduciaries, officers, directors, trust companies and law firms identify the risks in their practices and insure them against liability. She has over 37 years of experience with Chubb, AIG and was a pioneer in the development of directors and officers liability coverage for AON.   We're going to be focussing on the liability issues facing fiduciaries, including individuals, law firms, corporate trustees and private trust companies. Trustee Roles and Responsibilities   The words Trust and Trustee- are big "all encompassing" words that mean different things to different people. Let's try to break it down a bit:   A trust in general has three main roles: Grantor (Person forming the trust) Trustee (Person or entity in charge of running the trust) Beneficiaries (Those people who will benefit from the trust) Insurance Perspective From an insurance perspective, what do you see as the responsibility of the trustees?   What are the duties (i.e. who is the client reporting to?) and risks? Duty of Loyalty (to the trust) Duty of Care (to the trust and the different beneficiaries) Safeguarding the Assets Reporting on the Assets Prudently Investing the Assets Distributing the Assets When dealing with the risks, what do modern trustees do to protect themselves from liability? Good policies, procedures, record keeping around decision making and action (operating with the risks) Setting up good structures to shield liability and get adequate support from experienced trustee providers to help with the job (transferring the risk) Identifying reasonable risks and getting reasonable insurance (insuring against the risk) How does trustee liability insurance look? Are there parallels to E&O and D&O insurance)? And what are the common misconceptions of the trustee insurance market? You don't need insurance Your umbrella policy covers you Your traditional E&O, D&O policies will cover you Trust Protector / Power of Attorney might not be in traditional insurance Belief of Indemnification - Is there an agreement? Can we indemnify beyond the law?  Gross Negligence? Good Insurance advances defense costs to get out of Gross Negligence Reasonable risks:  What are modern trustees worried about?

I think what's even more powerful as you say, you can be a millionaire in 10 years. And so pick some fucking idea. Most importantly, pick an idea that you'll work on for 10 years, and just commit 10 years and finding the thing to commit to is almost the more hard part about it. Especially right now I think the one thing to think about in business is what are you certain of not what are you uncertain of, and make a list of all the certainties and then execute against that?     Chris Hey guys, we get the fortunate opportunity to hop on the mic and do a Q and A session with Noah Kagan. Noah is the founder of AppSumo, a $30 million a year business. also the founder and owner of Noah Kagan Presents, a very popular podcast on entrepreneurship as well as the founder of Ok Dork, KingSumo and Send Fox. Noah was the 30th employee at Facebook and number four at Mint.com. He has quite an amazing resume. And just a genius when it comes to spouting out business ideas. You guys will notice this on the podcast. Noah is very creative, but he's also very thoughtful on not only how he can be a better entrepreneur, but how he can engage with other people and be a better person himself. So what we do on this show you guys we have two other friends Freddy Lansky, who organized this podcast and Itamar Marini, my partner and friend as well. And we go through some chat back and forth about asking Noah different types of questions around entrepreneurship, what's going on in the world today with the crisis that we're going through, and then we bring in one guest entrepreneur to ask some questions and then we have a q&a going. And Noah answered some q&a from the Facebook Live that we did with this podcast as well. So it's a fun session, more informal, a lot of back and forth banter, a lot of rabbit holes and tangents we go often but really enjoyable and I think it's an episode you guys will get a lot out of.

Check them out at NomadX.com, that's nomadx.com and now let's hop in to today's podcast.   Noah Give them what they want, Chris give what they want.   Chris going live Is this thing on?   Noah Oh, there it is. All right. We're about to get it on. Yeah, man. I'm stoked. All right. I'm grabbing my brisket. Once I get my brisket, it's Game on.     Chris Are you eating pork again? No shame on you   Noah No. Well there's two things. I was just gonna say one you got to eat otherwise you can be hungry but two, we don't in our lives include enough recharge time. Yeah. And so I've been really working on not this moment, but I was gonna have more things after this and I'm like, Fuck that. Yeah, I think we think our phones need to recharge, but we don't need to recharge.   Chris I hear you man. I always like to make it equivalent to a bow and an arrow. You know, like you've got to have that recharge that pullback time in order to shoot the arrow so it can go fast. And we don't do that. We don't pull our bows back enough.   Noah Dude, I've literally one thing that happened to me recently with this whole Coronavirus thing which I love. It's my favorite holiday.   Noah I really do. Yeah, well  regarding the recharging. I fucking forgot where the fuck I was going with it. But it was a really good point. You know, come back to me about this reach. Oh, I the number one thing I've noticed. This is one thing, the number one thing I notice about everyone who fucking hates Corona There's two things. Number one, though, they're not getting enough sleep. Seriously, every day that I wake up and I'm like, fuck today, like that happened to me on Friday and Saturday, I was just just lonely and angry. And then I was like, Did you sleep a lot? I was like, No. Okay, that's probably why   Freddy Do you have an aura ring? Or like a sleep tracker?   Noah So there's two other things I was going to say though. Number one is, it's interesting to think about our morning routines. And I think everyone's got weird as shit, but I was just really zoning in and like honing in on a fucking badass morning where like, today, I did it perfectly. And I was like, okay, when I do it this way, my day starts great. And when I do it other ways, My days are a little more fucked. Yeah. And then the last thing that is interesting is that when you're rich, it's really hard to know what it's like to be poor. And I know that that's a fucking that's a dick thing to say. But I really had this universe of rich bullshit. I hired a guy to come over and massage me last night. And so he came over to my house, and it was really sad. Okay, it was just sad. Because he was like Yeah, I've lost my job and no one wants to have me come over the house. And you know, it was good to understand and try to see where I can help that kind of person right like and so I talked to him I was like well you're a sous Have you thought about teaching people how to give themself massages or couples massages and maybe putting that online or helping people locally? And you know, it's just interesting to kind of learn from that versus just I think as you get as you rise levels you just forget so I think it's good to go back to the frontline.   Chris Do you ever do anything to like, keep you humble? You know, they talk about like, I like to do things that make me survive on very little like this past weekend, we just went out in the woods, and we took a knife and took a pot to boil on a fishing hook. And then you really kind of get in touch with you know, you don't need a lot like it doesn't matter how much money you have. You know, you can understand, like humility or living on bear means or interacting with people that don't have a lot on a regular basis.   Noah Yeah, like, yesterday I had to call my assistant to go do something and I was pretty low for me. Like, you know, I was like, this thing to call her. No, I like that. I like that approach. I think we've done that is I like doing that in the small things like the dishes is the stupidest one, right what is just something small that you know, doing the bitch work and eating it. There's something great Oh, shoot me.   Chris No, no, sorry. Sorry. I was just gonna say like Mike Tyson used to go big on streets further for money, even after he was rich and famous. And he would go and he put a hoodie on and he would go out just just to kind of, I mean, it may not be the best example because Mike, you know, had his own word for No.         Noah Well, I think what I've been doing recently, especially with the YouTube channel, and some of these other things is starting businesses again from scratch. Yeah. And really doing it live like we did with Freddie a few days ago and I did it myself. The past I've done like I started a gym business two weeks ago. started selling Oculus a few weeks ago and so really experimenting with like, Alright, can I actually do this stuff? And I don't know I guess it does keep me humble. It also reminds me sometimes how hard or and also how easy some of this stuff is.   Chris Yeah, that's a good point.   Chris So before we get started we wanted to reconnect you with Itamar here. I know you both, I don't know you know very well, but I know Itamar pretty well. And we thought you guys would kind of hash it out and have good chats and good fun together. He's really special forces for 10 years and counterterrorism, good friend of mine and partner of mine now. And and so if you ever want to learn Hebrew, this is the guy to learn from.   Itamar You need to try Jiu Jitsu, man. There's no better equalizer in the world. Nobody cares how much money you have. What's your background on the mats? Kelly?   Noah yeah, I love watching two dudes grow like groping each other on the ground. That's like I'm really into that. I did watch it. Yeah. Boxing I think one thing I've been thinking about in life is like ratios. And so I do boxing and I found that like the calorie to time ratio for me was more effective. And also enjoyment plus skill, but I felt that I got more out of that with boxing than I did with jujitsu and I've done it, it's not just me. Yeah, it's interesting to stay humble, man. I like that. I think you know a lot of it about Chris checking your ego.    Yeah, no matter what size you get, and you know, happened to me two weeks ago, like I put out this YouTube video youtube.com slash Okay, dork, by the way, but I put out this video and I didn't get a lot of views. And then I was like, Am I not worthy? I was like, Am I not smart? Are my ideas sucky? And it was interesting. I was like, Well, what am I doing this for? And what, what's, what's the treadmill that I'm on? Right? And is there ever enough? So we were talking even when we could in that moment, I talked to a friend. He's like, Well, why did you do it? And I was like, I really have so much confidence in the world and people these days that I want to go help. I want to help these underdogs. I want to help the people willing to work. And he's like, Well, did you do it? I was like, yeah. And I was like, Alright, well then don't fucking care if you get one person's help or 1000.    And it's a kind of shifted how I'm even goal setting lately. Because it's like, people have these goals. And once you get to a million dollars I want you just get a million bucks and then set whatever fucking cool goal you want. And then you know, you can do but I think frankly, you'll get a million dollars if you do the thing that you're not trying to make the million dollars on. Yeah. You know, and that's bullshit advice if you're not rich, because you're like, Well, I'm not rich yet. So that advice doesn't work for me. But I've generally made the most money, not trying to make the money just doing the thing that I'm most interested in. But with the goal thing, we were talking about our YouTube goal, and we're actually looking at the goal that's interesting for the dork brand, my stuff that I share basically the voice of our company. For app Sumo and Sumo group. We said we want to get our active audience number up. And I don't think this is a metric that anyone talks about if you're in content. So your active audience is not just your email list, but it's the active audience on your email list and the active audience on your YouTube. That active audience on the platforms that matter to you, and what is that actual reach? And so my reach is like penis size, micro, okay? But it was like 173,000. And then we're like, Alright, this month in May, we're gonna get to 200,000. And I was like, I don't give a fuck if I get to 200,000 people, I really don't. I really care more than like, I get to hang out with you guys and do a talk like this to 10,15, 500 I don't care. And so I'm more interested in sharing the things I'm learning and also getting learned and meeting people that I'm learning a lot from. And so it's maybe setting my goals a little bit more differently that are aligned to things that really fulfill me. I love that man.   Chris I love that. Okay, so let's do a quick introduction. I think most people know who knows Noah Kagan is but I'm going to introduce him anyway. Noah Kagan was number 30 on Facebook. Number four is the founder of AppSumo. Ok Dork, KingSumo and Send Fox and probably a bunch of others. AppSumo is an eight figure business and the number one site online For software deals, Noah is the founder and a host of one of the top podcasts on entrepreneurship. Noah Kagan Presents.   Noah Dude, that guy sounds awesome.     He sounds cool.     Yeah, I was like, Is that me? I think sometimes I'm just surprised.     I'm like, wow. But you know, I think some of it is. I was talking with my therapist. He calls himself a coach, but I say you're a therapist. I guess it just depends how much they charge.     And who's cheaper? Well, tell us first. I know well. I think a coach can charge more. A therapist charges 120, a coach can have a program. That's what he wants to talk to me about next week, which I'm interested in. But I think what's really interesting about successes, how we label it to each other, but not ourselves. Because I never think of the word success. I don't, it's not that I don't believe in it. I guess I don't believe it. I just don't give a fuck about success. I've really explored and I think where I've explored my interests and my explore things I really want. I thrive and when I explore money making opportunities, I fucking flame out and That's been interesting in my own journey, and I hope for everyone's journey is just really, you know, Facebook. I didn't know anyone there. I didn't have any advantages I just built, I looked it up recently. I built probably like four to five different online college businesses. So when I applied I said, hey, I've just been doing this stuff because it sucked for me, and I wanted to build it. And then I got the job there. And I think a lot of the most of the stuff I started or worked at, I was just really like, I was excited to work at MIT. So I did whatever it took to work there. And appsumo I was like, I want deals on these products. These products are fucking dope. There's this whole Groupon makeit thing. That's a cool way to do it. And let me just go get deals on the software I don't want to pay full price for and I'm like, now I get fucking paid for that. Like, how cool is that? Like, everyone should do that.   Chris   You're right, you're right. What do you think gets in the way of people from doing that?   Noah   Well tell you there's two separate things that I've observed for myself. So I think there's two separate places, there's the starting place and then there's the success place. People are afraid of getting success as much as they're afraid of starting. Yeah, that's been really fascinating for me, and So on both sides of that, I would say for myself, what I can only speak for myself in my recipes. So in myself, I noticed that my superpower is starting and experimenting, and I'm not as strong. It's consistency. Just don't get really bored. I'm like, Alright, next. Next, I was telling the coach this morning I said, My motto is kill comma, next. Kill next, what's next, kill it. Next thing. And so I'm actually thinking my and I've been learning this one of my books that I've really enjoyed is the powerful engagement by Tony Schwartz. And I got to chat with him recently. And he said that life doesn't have to be zero and one, there's a spectrum and you go back and forth on it. And so I think the spectrum I'm working on is how I slow down a bit more and enjoy the kill, and slow down more and recharge more. And so in terms of the the, the thing I hope you will back into success for me what I've observed is embracing your strength. So I'm a starter so I should be fucking starting and amens a closer so he's running appsumo The other side of that the other part of that that I'm really working through right now is of what's working for you or what's fulfilling you really fulfilling like fucking calling like, Hello, it's Jesus. It's your turn. How do you remove the distractions from that? So I'll give you an example of what that means. I love this. This with you, not just hearing my fucking voice, like I can listen to you guys talk if I have questions for you. I do this all fucking day. But when I'm spending the day doing meetings, I've been setting the date like I spent like two hours trying to figure out some tech shit earlier. And when spending my day like a planet doing other stuff, it honestly discourages me from it. And so it's like, Alright, well how do I hire the people or figure out you know how to reduce it. So I'm not spending my day in that and I color code my calendar, and I call it my purple productivity priority. And my purple productivity party is that how much fucking purple is on my calendar and you can color code your calendar is really cool. And so I'm like, Well, if my color isn't fucking purple, something's wrong. And so I've just noticed for myself in terms of once you've gotten some level of Your own measurement of success? How do you remove the things that are hindering you from sustaining? So that's it once you've gotten inside and honestly, the purple productivity priority, I'm still working on the branding is what's working for me? Because then I look at my calendar right now. And I can say like, do I have something everyday that fulfills me? Do I have something that's towards my main priority every day? On the starter site for the beginners out there? The number one thing for starters is fear. They're all fucking afraid. They're so fucking afraid, and I'm afraid of relationships. And I'm afraid of sustaining. But I'm not afraid of fucking starting. And so that's why I've done so well, business wise around the start. These people, it's been amazing. We had that monthly one k.com we reopened this course. About 10,000 people have gone through it, maybe 1000 have gotten businesses like really good businesses, and maybe like 100 have made like six figure businesses. And that's probably true for how like the statistics work publicly, but it's been amazing to observe how they avoid that part's been so fucking wild. Like the psychology You have people who put this out, and they're afraid of it so I do a lot of things to get them out of their fucking fear. Like we know, we do a push up challenge, try to do 100 push ups. That's it. You can do it at home. You don't need anyone. Okay? You fucking failed. Alright, good your life next coffee challenge, which you guys probably have heard of, or maybe if not coffee challenges go for 10% off your next purchase, preferably in person and get rejected. And then you're like, well, that's fucking fine. And then the last one I like is like the stranger challenge. Now it's even scarier because no one wants to talk to fucking anyone. But next time you go out, talk to a stranger. It's fucking scary. I'm scared of that. It's just a little scary. But I pushed myself. I still do that to this day one because I love deals. So I'd like to do a 10% Coffee challenge, but I like the idea of practicing and making strength in my fear muscle. I think the fear muscle is something that you can actually work on. And with starting a business ideas are fucking a joke. I talked to the masseuse last night. He's like, Man, I'm struggling. I got no money. I was like, Well, I didn't want to be a business coach. But I said, I was like, Did you try to teach people how to do couples' massages?'' Have you you post it anywhere Have you applied for an Amazon delivery job, like I applied for an Amazon delivery job took me like five fucking minutes. It's actually shockingly easy. And not everyone should be an employee. But I think in terms of starting a side hustle. Number one, if you have no fucking money, go get a day job and get just get your foundation set up. But in terms of the fear, it's just practicing the fear, noticing the traps, like there's traps. So I actually made a list of the traps yesterday, things that were entrepreneurs say 10 ways to know your entrepreneur, or 10 things that they say they say, Ah, it's the economy, the economy's bad. I'm like, the economy is always gonna be fucking weird. So it's just that you're not valuable, and you're doing things that are not valuable. It's a good point.

We're in Portugal working with NomadX, a global coliving community that provides access to local housing accommodations and a local like-minded community for remote workers & digital nomads who are traveling in Portugal. A core part of our trip and experience is actually being part of that coliving environment, understanding the digital nomad lifestyle, and staying in their signature property in Lisbon. We chatted after dinner together about the digital nomad lifestyle.  Our housemates come from Sweden (Ivo), Brazil (Aline), Ukraine (Victoria), France (Mike), and the US (Ben). Listen for insights from this roundtable and casual conversation on the digital nomad lifestyle, their struggles, the coliving trend, their passion for travel, how they adjust in new cities, how they make money and an income, and...  what they forgot to pack!!! The Questions I asked the Group:  1. Why do you travel? What thrills you about exploring a new country? [It wasn't all about exploration] 2. What has travel provided to you? [Confidence mostly?] 3. How do they each make money and earn an income to travel? [The answers varied WIDELY] 4. What's the first thing they do to ease into and connect plus adjust to a new culture? [Genius!] 5. What is coliving? Why is it hot & on-trend? How is it unique as a digital nomad community? [Words used included respect & professionalism]   + Bonus Question: What is the one item that they forgot to pack that they've desperately needed or one item they packed but haven't used at all?

I’ve been in France for about 6 weeks now, and am more convinced than ever, that’s it ‘s one of my power points on the planet. The energy and landscape here, along with the lifestyle and beautiful people, stir my soul. One of the beautiful things about this digital nomad lifestyle is the opportunity to discover where we feel good. After all, everything is energy, and when we feel good somewhere, obviously life is more pleasurable, and usually more productive and even purposeful. So now onto today’s show.
