Adventurous Entrepreneur Interview: Living a Heroic Lifestyle with Cody McKibben

Here, Emily Utter interviews Cody for her Adventurous Entrepreneur seminar series in July 2014. Here’s Emily:

I’m super excited to share with you my interview with world-traveler and digital nomad extraordinaire, Cody McKibben. Cody is the real deal. He’s always galavanting around the globe with just a backpack full of belongings. In this interview he shares how all he really needs is his laptop and an iPhone to grow a business that has allowed him to live all over the globe.

Cody’s been at this for several years now, so if you want to learn from a pro, don’t miss this one. We talked about what to consider when looking for a new city/country/continent to call home, as well as what it really takes to be successful.

I was super inspired by Cody’s story and I think you will be too!
