Being a digital nomad and an entrepreneur is a match made in heaven. You live on your terms while working from any part of the world you want. Bakari Akil is the perfect example. This week, he joins A.J. to discuss his unique approach to acquisition entrepreneurship and how he's managing various business ventures remotely, all while exploring the world and building a community of like-minded nomads.About Bakari Akil:Bakari Akil is a seasoned entrepreneur and a full-time digital nomad. He's currently traveling the globe while running his ventures remotely. Bakari is the Managing Director of Graves Hall Capital, an investment firm he founded to acquire businesses. He's also the founder of Nomad Noir, a platform inspiring black digital nomads to pursue this incredible lifestyle.Bakari is an expert in sourcing, evaluating, and executing multi-million dollar acquisitions. In addition to all his ventures, he's a visiting lecturer at Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management. He teaches MBA candidates how to buy a business and pursue acquisition entrepreneurship.Episode highlights: The digital nomad lifestyle is very popular among remote entrepreneurs. But making such a huge transition may seem daunting. It can be overwhelming, from setting up your business adequately to lacking a support system. However, if you strive to live abroad, you can always seek help from experienced travelers such as Bakari and programs like Remote Year. (01:50) Despite what some people think, you can become a digital nomad at any age. It's one of the most liberating and inspiring lifestyles that allows you to travel the world while still working full-time. As long as you have the flexibility to pursue digital nomadism with your job and the income to sustain you, you can embark on this incredible journey anytime. (04:19) Like other business ventures, acquisition entrepreneurship also has its challenges and obstacles. But what truly defines you during these hard times is your mindset. Perseverance and resilience are key to success in entrepreneurship. You can overcome almost any business challenge by staying resilient and pushing forward. To get better at it, adopt a can-do attitude and start believing that success is the only option. (12:32) Being a digital nomad is a life-changing experience that impacts you both personally and professionally. It helps to master the technical steps to build a rock-solid business, broaden your perspective, and see the world through new lenses. Ultimately, this gives you a profound sense of fulfillment, making you a more inspired leader and a better entrepreneur. (18:44) Some aspects of acquisition entrepreneurship require your physical presence. However, in most cases, a stable connection will do the trick. In reality, if you're considering becoming a digital nomad, effective leadership and strong communication skills are even more valuable for entrepreneurs on this journey. (22:03) Bakari's best advice for entrepreneurs:“This has to happen. There's no other way I'm going to make this particular thing happen. If you could pull that kind of energy into a goal, and you have the staying power when things get tough, more often than not, you'll be able to accomplish the thing you're trying to accomplish.” (13:13)Connect with Bakari: LinkedIn Instagram Resources Mentioned: Remote Year My 3 Greek Dates End in Ruins Nomad Noir Taj Lewis - Production Manager Follow Beyond 8 Figures: Linkedin Twitter Website

Romanticizing your life is a fun concept, but sometimes when it comes to travel, it can feel like we're only seeing the rose-colored version of reality. Some aspects of a nomadic life are straight-up annoying. In the last year, I've bopped around to Croatia, Cape Town, Portugal, Spain, London, France, Mexico, Malta, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina. So, today I'm joined by my roommate, Joie Lim, to bring you a fuller picture of the digital nomad lifestyle! I met Joie in a traveling group called RemoteYear and we came back together this summer in Mexico City. Joie and I have been traveling for the same amount of time.

When it comes to digital nomadism, Sam Matthew has walked the walk. Today, he heads the legal team at OnDeck, a platform for entrepreneurs with a fully distributed workforce. Before that, he was general counsel for Remote Year, a company that facilitates travel for those working remotely. In this role, Sam witnessed many of the challenges of facilitating the employment of digital nomads firsthand: he himself worked across 20+ countries in a three year period, linking up with other Remote Year employees in Latin America, Europe, and Asia along the way. Here he shares with Job some of the key lessons he took from his travels, including the different approaches one can take toward tourist visas and work permits. He explains how countries across the world will have very different approaches to digital nomads, from some that are creating laws to encourage nomadism to others that legally oppose the practice.The conversation also turns to the legal difficulties companies can run into when hiring abroad, from complying with health and safety regulations to discovering the difficulties of terminating a contract.

Investing in real estate as a nomad might sound impossible. When you're traveling all the time, how can you buy a property, fix it up, find renters, and manage it? As it turns out, there is a way, and it doesn't involve renovations or interviewing potential tenants—or require you to be local to the property. In today's episode I'm chatting with Matt Bowles, longtime nomad and cofounder of Maverick Investor Group, which helps people purchase turnkey properties that already have tenants and property managers in place. He shares why these types of properties are such great investments especially if you're living the nomad lifestyle as well as the benefits of working with a nontraditional brokerage like his and how such an investment can give you consistent passive residual income for years to come. In this episode: Why Matt wanted to build his own business and how he created more autonomy in his life to travel the world How joining Remote Year brought him community as a nomad, and what influences the pace at which he travels from country to country Why he loves visiting Africa and his recommendations for nomads interested in exploring the continent Everything you need to know about turnkey properties, from what they are to why they're advantageous How Matt's nontraditional brokerage approach works for buyers, and the income and tax benefits that come with owning rental property How this type of real estate investing plays into housing injustice, and how to be a responsible landlord who provides value and a safe space to tenants and the community For full show notes, resources, and links go to www.nomadtopia.com/203.

On this special episode the tables are turned and Chase Warrington interviews Matt Bowles on the About Abroad podcast. Matt starts off talking about spending his birthday in the Portuguese wine country and then about delivering the opening keynote at the Bansko Nomad Fest in Bulgaria. He then shares his backstory of losing his job, starting his own business, becoming location independent in 2007, and eventually becoming a full-time digital nomad with no base in 2013. Matt then talks about his experience doing a 12-month “Remote Year” program in 2016—traveling the world with a community of remote professionals and living in a different city each month across 4 continents. He then talks about why he is doing another Remote Year program, this time a 4-month all-Africa itinerary. Matt explains what he loves about West Africa, shares his experiences nomading in Africa, and reflects on the pros and cons of Remote Year. Next he talks about founding his company, Maverick Investor Group, that helps people buy “turnkey” U.S. rental properties—fully renovated single family homes with tenants and local property management in place. Matt talks about the best U.S markets for buying rental properties and the process for how Maverick helps everyone (including foreign nationals) buy them from anywhere in the world. Chase and Matt then talk about the future of work, the evolution of the digital nomad lifestyle, the value of location independence, and why Matt started The Maverick Show podcast.

Have you ever met someone while traveling that makes you think "damn, this is why I travel!"? That's exactly who today's guest is for me.I'm so happy to bring you my chat with the incredibly talented and wonderful, Ilkin Zeybek (he/him)! He and I met this summer in Istanbul while I was on a one-month Remote Year program and Ilkin was a guide for several events for the group throughout the month. Not only is Ilkin extremely knowledgable about all things Istanbul, he's also a ridiculously talented photographer (links below).Ilkin's story is such a welcomed one to Reaching Out as it truly gives a different, more global perspective to coming out that we haven't had much of on here yet. Ilkin tells us about the challenges and even depression that he faced as he navigated coming out during high school in conservative-leaning Turkey and amongst conservative peers. We also discuss some of the familial struggles Ilkin went through in the early years of his journey. Ilkin also shares with us what it's like being queer in Turkey today with the current conservative government in office -- including a story of him being detained, along with other queer people, at last year's Pride in Istanbul for simply showing up.Despite the challenges he has faced, he also shares how the very art he is creating now was born out of a need to resist the queer suppression he and his queer community have experienced by the Turkish government, and damn, his art f*cking great.In addition to his incredible story, we chat our favorite Lady Gaga songs, how music hits soooo different during a breakup or when you have a crush, not clearing your search history as a kid (we've all been there), and the new loves of my life thanks to my time in Istanbul...

Have you ever felt like you're not meant to do just one thing for the rest of your life? Or felt the pull of escaping the corporate grind to travel the world and be your own boss? Well podcast queen and host of In My Non-Expert Opinion, Chelsea Riffe, is on the pod today and has done both of those things! She and I chatted about her journey as a shape-shifting, globetrotter and entrepreneur and how she taps into her spirituality to support her in making some pretty big decisions. Chelsea is an Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon, and Virgo Rising She is currently in the first month of a four-month trip with remote year starting in cape town and ending in Split, Croatia, so if you haven't yet gotten to know her podcast now is the perfect time to start so you can hear all about her adventures…and see how it aligns with the locational astrology we talked about on her podcast last week! This episode is for you if you're looking for a fresh perspective on living your life to the fullest and breaking out of societal programming. As I get older, it kind of ties back to the conversation we're having of embracing the fluidity instead of trying to stick to one thing and be known as one thing. I want to be known as someone that always evolves and is shedding their skin and like, yeah, you can expect me to change in a few years and maybe even a few months! - Chelsea Riffe Chelsea and I also chat about: Her current 4-month trip with Remote Year, travelling to Cape Town, Valencia, Lisbon, and Split Her journey from corporate America to starting her own business Living out her very own Eat, Pray, Love journey in Australia, Bali, and Europe The importance of community when you're an entrepreneur How travel really shows you that time is just a construct Balancing our extraverted and introverted sides How future visioning can help you make decisions about what's right for you Using spirituality to guide you in leading the life you want to live Questioning why we've been told we have to do one thing for our whole life How she embraces the energy of transformation and wants to be someone who changes regularly What it's like to have Pluto in Scorpio in the 3rd house What it's like being a Reflector in Human Design How she might over identify with her Sun sign and how she's working to integrate other parts of her chart What it's like having a Capricorn stellium in the 5th house Questioning the 40-hour week and 9-5 work day Who decided on the symbolism of astrology and where does it come from?

Sam Pessin, Co-Founder, and President of Remote Year joins Hiring University to discuss the state of remote work; how far we've come, where there is work left to do, and will some employers revert back to traditional and mandatory in office work models! "If your company does not support remote work or hybrid work options you are losing out on a lot of talent. Especially top tech company talent. I have so many friends that work in technology and at this point will not entertain a conversation with a company that isn't remote." -Sam Pessin - Remote Year
Summary: On this episode of Propcast, Louisa speaks with Jeanne Casey and Jacinda Lofland from Nuveen Real Estate. They talk about what led them to the innovation, sustainability and technology space at one of the largest real estate investment managers globally. Jeanne and Jacinda explain what works in creating a diverse and inclusive powerful team, and how to avoid the issue of tokenism. They elaborate on needing strategy and investment decisions and how ESG, technology and community play a part in all of it. Lastly, they'll give us some home truths about what they think needs to change in terms of adoption and integration. The key takeaway from this episode is that the crux of the diversity issue is around retaining, promoting and genuinely empowering diverse talent that's already within the organisation.

I have been in venture capital for over 10 years. Half of that time I have focussed on PropTech and most recently at MetaProp. I started my investing career in FinTech at Morgan Stanley in the early 2010s and then I worked at a fund that spun out of Cisco. We were investing in digital infrastructure, including smart cities and IOT and that's what led me to PropTech. [02:55] Jacinda, can you tell us about your journey? I started out at PwC and I worked mostly on commercial real estate clients. My first time with Tiaa was back in 2013 and I did commercial mortgage originations as well as equity investments on the West Coast. I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina and was the first finance hire for Remote Year. I worked for Selina for about 10 months after that. After that, I came back to Nuveen where my focus is customers, community and the experience of our end users as well as engaging around ESG. [06:30] Jeanne, what do you think can be done to attract more diversity to this space? The crux of the issue is around retaining, promoting and genuinely empowering diverse talent that's already within the organisation. [07:20] What is Nuveen doing in terms of their hiring? Jeanne and I sit on the Insights Team which is led by Abigail Dean and that team includes our research team, sustainability, PropTech, Customers & Communication and Innovation. [09:40] There is a lot of women leadership at Nuveen, what do you think can be done to increase this? I think it's beyond just attracting and recruiting diverse talent. It is about retaining, promoting and empowering the talent that already sits within an organisation. Our DEI initiatives are more genuine and actually reflect what our teams look like. [11:45] Jacinda, you are from more of a real estate side, what have you seen in terms of diversity and inclusion? We're making meaningful progress. There have been a lot of reports around the benefits of diversity. Implicit bias training has been a really important step for us. It's important to hire outside of the same sets of colleges that might have strong, finance or real estate programs. [19:50] Is there anything more you want to delve into about what you've seen in the more VC (corporate side), or within the startups? I've seen a lot of genuine improvement over the decade. I've always been at the intersection of finance and technology and both of those are historically very male dominated, very white dominated and a little bit older. I think that's largely, or at least in the process of changing quite a bit. Boardrooms and investment teams look quite a bit different than when I started just 10 years ago. [19:10] Talk us through the focus for 2022. Our tomorrow's world strategy, there are three key things that we focus on; sustainability, technology and demographics. We have what we call a smart, sustainable building blueprint (SSBB) and there are a number of categories that we think really tied to those three overarching themes; energy, water, waste, resilience, health, and wealth, tenants & community, leasing and data & digitalisation. We want to build on our partnership with Fitwell. We'll be launching a VC strategy in the coming months. The two, overarching themes are; a data strategy and tools and new technologies that help unlock our own proprietary data across our massive portfolio. the intersection of sustainability and ESG with PropTech [27:40] What do you think the industry could do better as a whole to move things forward in terms of adoption/integration? Incentives alignment is an area that is still fairly nebulous. Cascading goals around our own compensation targets that are specifically tied to sustainability and innovation goals. Rethinking how our buildings work, but also rethinking how we work. [31:40] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about: Lessons learned in your career Jeanne: Throw out for a 5- or 10-year plan. Mention a person, product or service Jacinda: Our asset management teams and then the properties that sign up and do pilots. Cushman & Wakefield and Industrious Office Rewarding parts of working in the space: Jeanne: I love real estate and PropTech because I love seeing the tangible impacts on the ways that people work, live and spend all of our time. What are you most Excited about for the future of the space?: Jacinda: Data Standardisation and Climate Tech.

Hello listeners – I'd first like to wish you all a very happy holidays wherever you are in the world! I hope you've been able to spend some time with friends and family and do something special. I am lucky to currently be in Buenos Aires, Argentina where the summer has just started and I have been enjoying all the outdoor dining options that we have in the city. If anyone is looking for a great place to escape winter in the Northern Hemisphere, I've always found Argentina to be a great option. I first met today's guest, Muj, on the Nomad Cruise in November 2019. What really struck me about Muj when I met him, besides the fact that he was charming and handsome, was that he actually wasn't a digital nomad YET he was on a Nomad cruise. What I later learned was that Muj had already been on a mission for over a year to surround himself with digital nomads in the vacation time that he had from his corporate job and see if digital nomad life was for him and if he could get inspired to finally take the plunge and become a digital nomad himself. Little did we know that when the cruise ended, we were only a couple of months away from corporate office workers around the world being forced to work from home, and it was his experience during the pandemic that really convinced Muj to get serious about becoming fully remote. What I really love about this conversation with Muj is how practical we get on the many things that can come up when you consider actually starting to work from the road including time differences, relationships, and how to find new community. Without further ado, here's Muj.
Alondo, the Cocoanomad, has learned a lot about nomading in the last 6 years. In Episode 14, he shares his experience of being in the 2nd cohort of Remote Year and how it changed his life.

For the eighty-second episode of The Nomadic Executive, I am joined by an extraordinary guest, Matt Bowles, who embodies what it truly means to be a truly locationally-independent digital nomad. Matt Bowles is the host of podcast The Maverick Show. He is also the founder of The Maverick Group, a real estate investing business that's never had a physical office ever. Matt's journey to becoming a locationally-independent entrepreneur started when he got fired from his job. Now, he lives and works wherever and whenever he wants.In this episode, Matt not only talks about his awesome journey to becoming a locationally independent digital nomad and the places he's been so far. He also touches upon the things you need to do in order to figure out the qualities you and your business partners should have in order to build a successful, long term business relationship. Furthermore, Matt lays out the truth about how tying one's business to one place can set it up for failure in the future. Finally, Matt shares what it was like to be a part of Remote Year and how that experience truly changed his life and how he travels.Timestamps:[2:55]The unfortunate event that kickstarted Matt's digital nomad journey[4:37]This is how Matt started a business event though he had no business background[42:46]The value you will get with remote travel groups [47:07]Is there such a thing as “authentic travel”?
