Being Semi-Rad with Brendan Leonard, Part 2

Ep-162

Today I’m back with Brendan for Part 2 of our awesome interview.

Brendan starts off after flipping the interview on it’s head and asks me what motivates me to continue living the lifestyle I’ve chosen.

We move from there to talking about how awesome freedom is, why everyone should travel at least a little, the “busy” trap, and why everyone should go find a new taco stand in their city.

And last but not least we get an awesome piece of travel advice.

Always carry a spoon

Making It Anywhere with Rob

makeitanywhere-ROB-web

What happens when you put two digital nomads on a podcast together?

We geek out about location independent lifestyles.

Today, we have on Rob from Making It Anywhere, a site that shows people how to start making a living while traveling the world.

From questions like

“I want to be a Digital Nomad, but where on earth do I start?”
to
“I don’t have the kind of skills for location independence.”

we cover it all.

We chat about how Rob and Mish (his wife and business partner) started their journey to becoming digital nomads through Fiverr and Elance before slowly moving their way up the digital ladder to bigger projects and income streams.

Advice on every topic relating to being a digital nomad is discussed, from where to start and how to think outside the box to travel schedules and finding other like-minded people on the road.

If there’s one thing to take away from this podcast, it’s this:

You can do it.

And Rob is here to help you figure out how.

EPoP 047: Stock Trader by Day, Word Traveler by Night with Marcello Arrambide

Marcello-Arrambide

What’s the biggest benefit of a location independent lifestyle?

Freedom.

Marcello Arrambide of WanderingTrader.com has worked hard to guarantee himself “complete freedom”, which he defines as financial, time and location freedom.

For a few hours each day, he works as a day trader, the “easiest hardest thing you can do” and spends the rest of his time traveling around the world.

Today he joins us to talk about what exactly day trading is (the short version, including a one-minute break down of the stock market) and his travel adventures.

We speak at lengths about the benefits of location independence and some of the awesome places he’s been, along with some suggestions on getting great deals on furnished apartments all around the world.

He also details some of his travel mishaps, which include being kidnapped and detained in some of the world’s more dangerous countries.
