This week Chase crosses paths with the Founder & CEO of wrkfrce, Jesse Chambers.

As an evangelist for the remote work movement, he is truly practicing what he preaches! Jesse shares some tips and tricks for those wanting to experience life on the road full time, as well as insights on the future of work and making big life-changing decisions.

Gonçalo Hall is the supreme digital nomad, having lived and worked in dozens of countries and built communities of fellow nomads around the world. Today he shares his globetrotting adventures, and an update on his most recent project - building a digital nomad village on a small Portuguese island. For Gonçalo, life as a digital nomad is all about settling into the place you’re currently calling home, like a local. He explains how you can do the same, whether it be for six days, six months, or six years.

Gonçalo is a remote-work consultant and the Co-Founder at Remote Portugal, Remote Europe, & Future of Work Conferences, as well as the host of the Remote Work Movement Podcast. You can follow him closely on LinkedIn and view his latest work on the nomad village website.
