Summary

Dan and Ian of Tropical MBA started working together 15 years ago making parts for cat furniture and valet stands. Through that business, they learned tons about eCommerce, how to work together as business partners, and what a successful business exit looks and feels like.

They took all their knowledge and passion for remote work and built Tropical MBA into a community of events and podcasts for people who wanted to become location-independent entrepreneurs. Now, they launched Dynamite Jobs, a platform where people can find remote work so they can live and work like Dan and Ian have for the past couple of decades.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn about working for yourself wherever you want, you’ll love this episode.
