LL 008: A Live Limitless Interview with John Bardos

In the eighth episode of the Live Limitless podcast I chat with John Bardos of JetSetCitizen.com and the TEFL job site YouCanTeachEnglish.com.   John is originally from Calgary, Canada but moved to Japan in 1997. There he met his wife and started an English school and online learning platform for children. In 2009, they made a one year plan to sell their business, house and all their possessions to leave Japan and embark on a nomadic travel lifestyle. They have been location independent ever since. By keeping living costs to a fraction of their old lifestyle, they are able to focus their efforts on personal, volunteer and not-for-profit projects such as the UnconferenceforSocialGood.com and initiatives to bring English teaching resources to children around the world. In this episode, we talk about: Johns experience in Japan and why he loves it so much Why John sold his business in Japan and became location independent Johns new project called Unconference for Social Good Social entrepreneurship The reasons why John lives an unconventional life Biggest challenges of living an unconventional life The positive aspects of living an unconventional life Human trafficking and life around the world And MUCH more… Listen below or download from iTunes by clicking here. (Please note: If you’re reading this from email, you may need to visit the site to listen) If you’re running short on time; (1:30): Why John moved to Japan and what he was doing before that (3:00): Why John specifically chose Japan (3:37): John starts his own english school in Japan (5:11): John and his wife sell the business and become location independent  (7:06): What were some of the steps they took to live a nomadic life (8:34): What John is doing at the moment including JetSetCitizen and Unconference for Social Good (10:10): We talk about the Unconference for Social Good (11:18): The movement towards social entrepreneurship  (12:10): The reasons why John lives an unconventional life (15:42): Biggest challenges of living an unconventional life (18:27): We talk about Johns father and how he escaped communist Hungary in 1956 (21:06): What are some of the most positive aspects of living an unconventional life (25:45): Is it difficult to live in Calgary (a very corporate and rich oil city) with such an unconventional mindset (28:00): Johns advice for listeners who are craving a big change in their life but are held back by fear or limiting beliefs (34:40): We talk about lifestyle change, human trafficking and much more (38:20): I talk about my wonderful experience in Myanmar *** Hope you enjoyed this interview with John Bardos.
