Interviews with Digital Nomads
A year ago, I asked some of my fellow Remote Year participants to record interviews about their careers (hear clips from several of those in the introduction episode).
The podcast is now live — check out the episode page for a list of all currently available episodes.
(Below is a selection of episodes & featured interviews.)
Each individual episode page includes the interviewee’s bio, links, and show notes.
Once all previously recorded episodes have been released, I will be recording more episodes, so get in touch if you’re interested in being interviewed or have someone to recommend!
The introduction episode features clips from interviews from upcoming episodes conducted with various remote workers & digital nomads, including:
- Chrissy Barnum, management consultant for Accenture
- Alondo Brewington, independent software developer
- Jason Piersialla, operations manager for Remote Year
- Rebecca Rubin, marketing and mindset coach
- Jono Lee, freelance designer
- Laura Hansen, freelance graphic designer
- Maya Yette, operations associate for Travel Noire
