Taking a Digital Sabbatical

There are great things about being a location independent professional.

But, as we’ve mentioned before, there are bad things too.

And one of those bad things is the attachment to our computers. To the internet. This needs to always be connected, to always be ready to solve any and all problems that come up with our businesses.

Yet there’s a solution. Jason Moore, host of the Zero to Travel podcast and often co-host here is BACK.

He’s been out on a one-month digital sabbatical. Today he joins us to chat about his experience, how he managed to arrange such a thing, and what he’s taking away from the experience.
