What Are “Digital Nomads”? Joe Rogan and Chris Ryan discuss Perpetual Travel

In case you missed it, recently on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast (JRE) #739, Christopher Ryan, Joe Rogan, and Duncan Trussell spoke at length about the new, growing class of Western technical professionals quitting their 9-to-5 jobs, some of them RVing across the USA, or even becoming permanent travelers and “digital nomads” — pioneering a new way of living beyond borders.

I still highly recommend you pay your taxes, but this is an interesting conversation nonetheless!

Dr. Chris Ryan is a psychologist, speaker, and author of New York Times best seller Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships, and also host of his own podcast “Tangentially Speaking”. Duncan Trussell is a stand-up comedian, and host of his own podcast “The Duncan Trussell Family Hour“.

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!

In this call Emily Utter interviews Cody McKibben to talk about:

  • What he’s currently doing in London, far away from his usual stomping grounds
  • The exact moment he realized he absolutely had to be an entrepreneur
  • His decision to forego business school at Stanford to build his business instead
  • How Thrilling Heroics got its start in 2006 and what it’s grown into since
  • Mentioned: The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
  • The eye-opening experience learning about leveraging geo-arbitrage
  • His continually evolving interest in Thailand
  • How he chooses where to travel and what that process might look like for others
  • His “slow travel” habits that allow him to soak up his surroundings
  • The massive part that your community or network plays in your success
  • His tools and strategies for success as a location independent entrepreneur
  • His bad luck when it comes to iPhones
  • How money in the bank (or lack thereof) affects your drive
