When Matthias Zeitler shared his vision of transforming a massive abandoned communist-era hotel into a nomad haven, everyone told him it was "totally nuts."

Today, that 17,000 square meter building in the remote Bulgarian mountains is 80% sold to digital nomads from around the world.

In this captivating episode, Matthias reveals:

• How he attracted 100+ international investors to a building "where the Titanic had sunk"
• The audacious $9 million renovation that includes 20+ cooking stations, a bowling alley, and more
• Why starting with community—not real estate—is the key to success
• His vision for creating possibly the world's smallest self-governing nomad municipality

Matthias Zeitler is the founder of Coworking Bansko and Coliving Semkovo, having transformed a small Bulgarian ski town into one of Europe's hottest nomad destinations.
