Summary

Do you dream of building a business that allows you to work from anywhere in the world? Today I’m joined by Dan Andrews, an OG in the digital nomad movement and co-host of The Tropical MBA Podcast, to talk about building a location-independent lifestyle and business. Since 2009, Dan and his co-host, Ian Schoen, have been sharing stories of people who have successfully built “micro-multinational” businesses while traveling the world. He is also the co-founder of Dynamite Ventures, which includes brands like Dynamite Jobs and Dynamite Circle. In this episode, we explore topics such as how to take advantage of the remote work and location-independent lifestyle, the unique challenges of having freedom, Dan’s best business advice, and how to leverage the sense of possibility that travel gives you. What remote business do you want to create? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
