0:00.0	In having that dream and living in Italy, I felt that constraint of like, okay, I'm here because I need to be here.
0:07.0	Like, I built up my life around the fact that I need to be in Rome and go to the office.
0:12.6	And, you know, my location is determined by these other things.
0:16.0	But I would love to give a shot to my desire to be in California and to see to so many other places.
0:22.4	And a week or two of vacations every year didn't feel like enough, I would say, to satiate
0:28.1	that thing or to feel that I was actually experiencing what was life.
0:33.4	That was my guest today, referring to his dream to move to California and sometimes,
0:38.3	maybe oftentimes,

1:23.5	there. How did he do it? How did it happen? You'll hear all of that today and so much more.
1:29.7	We also touch on working remotely in the digital realm, which he's doing, but we don't often talk
1:35.7	about creating physical products. I know at some point a lot of people, maybe you are one of them,
1:41.5	have some type of cool idea for an invention or creating some type of
1:44.9	physical product that you want to get out into the world.
1:48.0	And he has done that around a passion project of his skateboarding.
1:53.1	So I wanted to get his advice on how you can do that as well.
