Summary

http://www.tropicalmba.com/hungaryandgeorgia/ A few weeks ago, Dan and Ian published their first episode of a new series on this podcast, where they decided to seek out the answer to a question that every location-independent entrepreneur has struggled with at one point in time: If I can live anywhere in the world, where should that be?

On this week's episode, they will be focusing on two nations in Eastern Europe: Hungary and Georgia.

Clayton Cornell runs his own lead-generation business online, as well as one of Dan and Ian's longtime favorite blogs called Spartan Traveler. On this podcast, Clayton shares his story about what led him to the capitol of Hungary, Budapest.

You'll also hear from Dana Lindahl. Dana has chosen the nation of Georgia as his home base, as his wife has recently started a business there. You'll hear about what that process was like, as well as the entrepreneurial climate in this former Soviet country.

So today we are here to continue a little mini-series about some of the places that various members in our network,

the Dynamite Circle or DC, have ended up settling in as home for either their family,

0:45.3

their own personal lifestyle, or for their business.

0:49.2

Speaking of lifestyle, I've invited my co-host and business partner on to the program, Bossman. How you doing?

0:55.0

King of Lifestyle over here, man. I just heard about the weekend you're going to have.

0:59.8

And it's like you're having a proper Texas weekend. That's right. Give me the to-do list here.

1:05.3

I want to hear about it. Well, as soon as I get off this call, we're going skeet shooting.

1:09.5

I assume there might be a little bit of barbecue involved.

1:12.2

There's going to be a lot of Texas in this weekend, that's for sure. You're going to go car racing. That's right. You're probably going to go to like a cool honky tonk to go dancing or something. Already did it last night. Oh, man. The weekend has already started. I'm incredibly jealous. Let's get back to work here.

1:26.5

We'll cover Texas on another episode.

1:28.9

On the last episode we did like this, you interviewed me about Spain. We talked

1:32.9

to Shannon Weeks about Portugal. These types of episodes have surprised me because I guess

1:38.1

originally my idea was, well, that won't be all that interesting to talk about just one country for a whole episode.

1:45.8

But what ended up finding is that it's meeting these entrepreneurs vis-a-vis the country

1:50.3

that was the interesting part for me.

1:52.3

Yeah, and it's making it real and understanding that like there are expats living in these

1:57.6

countries and that's a real possibility for me because it still feels like it's,

2:02.4

well, number one, it is still kind of hard to get these things done. But it doesn't ever feel like

2:06.1

it's possible a lot of times, I think, as an American right, to live somewhere else. And especially

2:10.8

if you have a weaker passport, like it's certainly harder to live somewhere else. So this episode's
