Beach Commute - Digital Nomad Experts

From college dropout to traveling the world as a remote marketer (Jeff’s full journey) | Ep 60

Listen Later

You may have heard many episodes of Marisa and Jeff talking about travel and remote careers, but you haven’t heard their full stories, failures and triumphs on their own journey to digital nomad life.

Until today…

In this episode, Marisa interviews Jeff on his story from college dropout to getting paid a remote salary as a marketer who got out of a deep depression by traveling the world.

Throughout this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How Jeff managed to build a great, high paying remote career for himself after dropping out of college for several years, and finally graduating at age 27
  • The one person who changed the course of his career
  • How Jeff actually LOST money in his first corporate career
  • Why Jeff still felt completely unfulfilled and  became depressed while working from home (before traveling), even though he had a great career and a great salary
  • How Jeff got promoted 7 times at his company WHILE traveling the world (he reached CMO level while we were together in Bolivia)
  • How travel and ayahuasca helped Jeff stop taking depression medication for the first time in 15 years
  • The biggest challenge Jeff faced while traveling the world while working as a remote employee
  • Jeff’s (incredibly surprising) FOUR WORDS OF WISDOM to anyone considering whether or not to get a remote career and start traveling the world
