Ep 71 - Back to Phuket Where it Started

Author: Johnny FD May 6, 2015 Duration: 50:21

This week's guest is my cousin Jacob who came with me to Thailand back in 2008 when I decided to quit my job and move across the world to pursue my passions.  We talk about what my family thought of me making the move, overcoming fears and objections, the similarities of my parent's immigrating from Taiwan to America and about traveling in Chiang Mai, Phuket and the Phi Phi Islands.

With an archive of over 250 discussions, this podcast digs into the real, unvarnished details of building a location-independent life. You’ll hear from digital nomads, expats, and entrepreneurs who aren’t just dreaming about a four-hour workweek-they’re actively living it.

It’s about the intersection of work, culture, and place, offering a genuine look at the trade-offs and triumphs that come with this lifestyle.
