The NextDay Nomad Podcast

Hola Amigos, In this episode of The NextDay Nomad Podcast, I unpack the 5 brutal stages between wanting freedom and actually living it, and why most people never make it past stage two. This is for anyone who's ever dreamed of ditching the cubicle, booking the one-way ticket, or building something that actually feels like theirs… but keeps falling back into "comfort." If you're stuck in that loop, thinking about it, talking about it, but not taking action, this one's a wake-up call. I get real about the fear, the procrastination disguised as planning, and the discomfort that separates dreamers from doers. I take you behind the curtain of my own journey, from waiting tables and watching YouTube videos of digital nomads… to building my own business, hitting record from Vietnam, and finally feeling what real freedom actually looks like. What We Cover: The 5 Stages Between Comfort and Freedom Why "being responsible" is just fear in disguise Productive procrastination and how it traps you The mindset shift that finally got me unstuck Why your breakthrough is hiding behind discomfort The moment most people give up—and how to push through What earned freedom actually looks like in real life How to stop outsourcing your life to jobs, governments, and fear Time to Make a CHANGE? TAKE MY FREE mini-course, Mindset to Momentum: Your Map to Becoming a Digital Nomad. This program is designed to help you break free from traditional work constraints and build a career that fits the lifestyle you want Mindset Makeover: Equip yourself with the mindset needed for success in the digital nomad lifestyle.

Just show up with a passport and purpose Gyms, saunas, coworking spaces, wellness events, and yoga, all in one space An app that brings your lunch to your Zoom callStaff who know your name, your schedule, and your favorite drink A community built to elevate, not distract, you Whether you're dreaming about your first remote work adventure or searching for a place to finally call home base, this episode will shift how you think about freedom, lifestyle, and what it really means to live on your terms.

Hola Amigos, In this episode of The NextDay Nomad Podcast, I break down exactly why you're still stuck in the office, mentally, physically, emotionally, and how to finally break free. This one is for the 9-to-5ers staring at the clock, praying for Friday, scrolling Instagram thinking "how the hell are these people working from the beach?" I was you. I had the commute. The gray cubicle life. The fake small talk around the coffee machine. And then one day I said no more. We dig into the mindset, money strategy, lifestyle design, and uncomfortable choices that took me from a cold Canadian commute to recording this episode in Vietnam after 18 countries traveled. Whether you're still playing it safe, waiting for permission, or thinking remote life is "for other people" this one's for you. What We Cover Why you feel stuck in your 9-5 (even if you're "good" at it) How your environment is keeping you small The mindset shift that helped me take back control From commission-only to career freedom—how I made the leap What life looks like now working from Southeast Asia Why most people wait too long, and how to set your exit date now Real talk: no one's coming to save you (and that's your superpower) Time to Make a CHANGE?

Hola Amigos, in this episode of The NextDay Nomad Podcast, I go full throttle on one of the biggest reasons people never chase their dreams: they're scared of being called "cringe." This isn't just about haters, it's about friends, family, and coworkers who secretly want you stuck so they don't have to confront their own lack of courage. We dive deep into the mindset shift it takes to keep swinging despite the noise, the mockery, and the fear of judgment. From Steve Harvey's iconic "TV for the teacher" move to modern examples of creators using hate as fuel, this episode is for anyone tired of playing small just to keep weak people comfortable. Letting go of toxic circles, building a remote life while getting mocked by people still clinging to their comfort zones, and realizing that choosing your vision over their approval is the ultimate power move. If you've ever been called "too much," "too loud," or "too cringe," this is your episode. What We Cover The savage truth behind why people call your dreams cringe How to use haters as jet fuel Dead weight in your friend circle? Time to snip-snip Steve Harvey, the Paul brothers, and why criticism is often a mirror Why people mock what they secretly wish they had the courage to do From acting, to business, to 18 countries, why I've already won Mindset vs. excuses: how ordinary people do extraordinary things Time to Make a CHANGE?

Hola, Amigos. Today, I sit down with Derek Skol and give you a BONUS episode as we head into the weekend before the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION of our generation. Derek and I discuss the current political climate in Canada, focusing on the upcoming election and the implications of Mark Carney's potential leadership. They explore themes of division within the country, the influence of globalism, and the challenges facing the middle class. The conversation also touches on the future of Canada, social mobility, and the potential for Alberta to separate and model itself after successful nations like Singapore. We discuss various pressing issues in Canada, including bizarre laws, societal safety, Alberta's political landscape, environmental concerns, Quebec's influence, Canada's economic potential, political accountability, freedom of speech, and media influence. They explore the complexities of the Canadian political system, the challenges faced by different provinces, and the need for a more cohesive national strategy to address economic and social issues. We also examine Canada's current state, focusing on issues such as national pride, government accountability, economic challenges, taxation, and the exodus of entrepreneurs. The authors express concerns about political polarization and the need for compassionate dialogue among differing viewpoints. The discussion emphasizes the importance of leadership and the necessity for change in Canadian politics, urging listeners to engage in the electoral process and consider the future of the country.   Time to Make a CHANGE?

Hola Amigos! Welcome to the first episode of 2025! In this episode, I'm sharing my recent journey to Bali and how dealing with jet lag got me thinking about how starting something new, whether it's a business, a career shift, or a new lifestyle, is a lot like adjusting to a new time zone. It's all about embracing discomfort, staying patient, and focusing on small daily wins.   What I Talk About in This Episode: The story of my trip to Bali, including an unexpected layover in China where I met another traveler in the exact same situation as me. How dealing with jet lag mirrors stepping into entrepreneurship or making a big life change. Disruption of routine: Whether it's changing time zones or starting a business, it throws your usual habits out of sync. Patience and persistence: Neither jet lag nor building a successful business happens overnight—it's a process. Embracing discomfort: Being uncomfortable is part of the journey, but if you stick with it, things will eventually feel natural. My Tips for Getting Over Jet Lag: Sync your schedule immediately – The first thing I did when I landed in Bali was set my watch and get on the local time zone as soon as possible. Stay hydrated and eat light – Long flights can leave you dehydrated and sluggish. Staying hydrated and eating smaller meals helped me recover faster. Get sunlight and move your body – Sunlight in the morning helps reset your internal clock, and moving around boosts your energy. Rest and be patient – Everyone adjusts differently. Give yourself grace, focus on small wins, and stay consistent. Key Takeaway: Whether it's jet lag or starting something new, embracing change, focusing on small wins, and staying patient are key. What feels foreign today will eventually become second nature.   Whether you're planning to leave the 9-5, start a business, or just want more freedom, this episode has the blueprint you need.

Hola Amigos! Welcome to the first episode of the Remote Reality Series, where I interview leaders from remote-first companies around the world. In this series, we'll uncover the perks and hurdles of remote work, plus tips on landing jobs at top tech companies. Let's dive in!   In this week's episode of The NextDay Nomad Podcast, I'm joined by Kim Wilkes, Head of Talent Attraction at Zapier, a trailblazing remote-first company.
