Gloria Zuluaga was born in Medellin, but relocated to Europe when quite young. It was a rich experience and led to her speaking four languages. But her beautiful hometown called and she returned to find a great need: relocation services for expats.

In this week's episode, we talk about the positives (very many!) the negatives (hardly any!) and how her company, Medillin Executive Relocation, can help you get settled intelligently and comfortably.

Imagine you've come to grips with the fact that a soul-sucking job just cannot be your future any longer. So you start a business, it starts doing pretty well...then you realize you're stuck again—working your ass off and ultimately NOT living the life you'd planned on!

Johnny Ward came from a poor, single parent family in Ireland. Maybe not having certain advantages cultivated an insane drive to succeed. But success is not about the money; it's about the lifestyle--always. Although the money's nice too! At 32, he's almost completed his goal of being the only Irishman to visit every country in the world.

He talks about rejecting the 9-to-5 life, the importance of taking risks and the "beautiful hell" he's experienced on some of his travels. Like fighting to breathe when being held under water, the burning desire to realize your goals is what he considers the key to success. Enjoy!

Gregory Diehl is a personal coach and educator who learned the art and science of compelling communication through a decade of full-time international travel.

His book, The World's Cheapest Travel Destinations is now in its 4th edition, and his new book, A Better Life for Half the Price isn't just about going borderless--but doing so while cutting your expenses in half. We talk about his travels and how he's making an location independent income.

Skinner Layne founded Exosphere as a learning and problem-solving community of immersive learning programs and experiences. After 10 years of adult life, he came to realize it wasn't best to "arrive"; but instead to keep asking questions in an infinite game. 

In this week's episode, he explores the parallels between the Roman and Post-Rome period to help draw wise conclusions about rational directions for entrepreneurs young and old. He also helps us understand the real point of Exosphere and the psychographics of those it's really perfect for.
