Hello Jason,
In my search for podcast examples, I came across yours. I have listened to quite a few and I am compelled to write a comment about how I enjoyed listening to your show. Your voice is warm and clear, your questions intelligent and the overall ambience comforting.
I am a fellow nomad living in Sweden at present. I am in the process of reinventing myself and I have a passion for travel and women’s issues. I’m an American woman stationed here for a few years and thought I could build something that eventually I would take on the road and support my travel habits with.
Thank you for your inspiration today and if you have any podcaster/nomad advice I would appreciate your reveal.
Thank you.
Ahu
Thanks for the comment and for listening to the podcast Ahu. My advice would be to follow those passions – if you’d like to develop a social enterprise or business around those then find a problem you can solve within the context of your interested and create a product or service thart helps in the travel or woman’s issues space. Write down ideas everyday and one will feel right to you!
