from Where She Builds · host Anna and Shandi

He reflects on identity, freedom, and redefining wealth through time rather than money, sharing how travel shifts from escape to everyday life. We talk about slowing down, letting go of old versions of success, and building systems that make a nomadic life feel sustainable, grounded, and intentional.Slava's InstagramSlava's Food InstagramSlava's YouTubeSlava's TikTok---Work one-on-one with Coach Shandi⁠ https://www.coachshandi.com/⁠---Born from long voice notes and biweekly calls across continents, the Where She Builds Podcast is a space to share the unfiltered realities of the messy, behind-the-scenes journey of being solopreneurs whilst travelling, and building a life that is anything other than ordinary.Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@whereshebuilds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Anna ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtravelfriendanna⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and Shandi ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@coachshandi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
