Would like to start and run a business from anywhere? Leaving everything behind and traveling the world and making some cash along the way? Today I talk with someone who has done just that! Mike Hulleman, of the very popular website hobowithalaptop.com, is our guest today to discuss how you can live a life as a nomadic entrepreneur.

Mike’s been a digital nomad in his own country in one capacity or another since he was 18, and he’s currently in his 8th year of living abroad in Asia.

Before that, he wrapped up his Toronto-based career as an enterprise ecommerce professional who worked with Fortune 500 brands and a team of 20+ skilled developers.

In his early twenties he was art director for the Burlington Jazz & Blues Festival, a freelance web designer, ecommerce consultant, and trained sales professionals in the tech industry.

Since he went ‘full nomad’ in 2013, he’s moonlighted as a film extra, become a best-selling author, professional copywriter, and occasionally helps brands tackle their digital marketing.
