Welcome to another action-packed episode of the OpenWorld podcast! In this interview I'm joined by a true man of mystery, the founder of Nomad Capitalist, the one and only Andrew Henderson. Andrew is one of the world’s most sought after experts on offshore and expat tax issues, second passports, and global citizenship. Andrew’s mission is to show you that geography is no longer a limiting factor and that you can exponentially improve your living situation. What I like about Andrew is he’s a doer, he doesn't just talk; he actually goes out and makes stuff happen.He has been blogging for five years at NomadCapitalist.com and today his blog reaches over 4 million readers. He’s also traveled for about 10 years and been to 89 countries and is one of the most established thought-leaders in the location independent lifestyle. Things he teaches: • Save hundreds of thousands in taxes • Create a second passport • Get started creating the business of your dreams • And and everything related to geo-arbitrage In this interview, Andrew shares his best advice for helping you keep more of their money, living where they want, and becoming a global citizen! We start by discussing Andrew's upbringing and the lessons his father instilled in him which contributed to his access, including Andrew's personal mantra, “go where you’re treated best.” We also discuss the finer points of long-term international travel, geoarbitrage and lifestyle design, overseas bank accounts, taxes, favorite destinations to live, travel, and invest, and much more!

Welcome to another illustrious episode of the OpenWorld podcast! I'm super excited to have you join us. If you're an author or interested in how to earn a serious living through self-publishing, then you are going to be absolutely blown away by this episode. So many people say you can’t make money self-publishing books. That it's just a business card, or a business building tool, and not a potential cash cow in itself. And there's far too many "gurus" out there who just make money showing wannabe authors how to publish books. Dave Chesson is completely debunking these stereotypes. What I love about Dave is that through his blog, Kindlepreneur, he gives away some of the best resources and cutting-edge techniques to earn a serious living as an author, for free, that I've yet seen. In fact, this has contributed largely to the success of Kindlepreneur.com, which in just one year he grew from 0 to 45,000 monthly visits (and I ask him how he did that as well!). Oh, and he's also earning a cool $8,000+ per month from the five books he's published, so he walks his walk. In this interview, I press him to reveal how he's done it, and he didn't shy away from sharing a ton of valuable nuggets. • Lessons learned from being active-duty Navy and how that contributed to his business success. • How to develop powerful habits and discipline so that success becomes inevitable. • The secrets of Kindle SEO, probably the best long-term strategy to create a perpetual salestream of books! • How he doubled sales of books for his friend Alex Barker simply by rewording the pages and optimizing them. • How to assess competition and dominate a niche on Kindle. • How to optimize your book listing keywords, to help your books gain more traffic. • How to increase conversion rates, so that Amazon displays your books to more people. • KDP Rocket, Dave's new tool, which makes book idea research easy. • Plus more! Hope you enjoy this action-packed podcast as much as I did recording it. Dave joined us from Sri Lanka, whereas as I recorded from a hotel in Thailand. Wherever you are in the world we're completely dedicated to helping you succeed! Leave us a comment with your thoughts about the podcast!

He’s been a full-time slow traveler for two years, currently living in Bali. He’s also been to all 50 US States, 27 countries, and four continents.

We start out discussing his backstory - and how his curiosity and passion for science developed into a love of travel. Also, he shares how his passion for cycling developed in him a competitive edge and a knack for refining systems for optimal performance. We discuss all kinds of “hacks” for performance such as ketosis, fasting, and human longevity. We also discuss fun topics such as: How to influence willpower through physiology How to turn fear into courage Power posing How to push your boundaries How to increase rate of learning and reach flow states for maximum creative energy. Derek also shares his "crisis of meaning" in Hawaii and how it started him on his current path. He set himself a six month deadline to go from $0 to $1,000 a month, and has been a perpetual traveler ever since. He also shares how he makes his income during the call. This was an excellent discussion with a wealth of knowledge, and I took a bunch of notes. Enjoy this interview!
