Listen Later

Are you tired of the traditional 9-to-5 grind, the suffocating traffic, or being stuck in a job that barely pays the bills? Then it's time to look at the future of work — one that lets you live in freedom, earn in U.S. dollars, and enjoy the tropical life in the Philippines. In this no-fluff blog and podcast episode, veteran remote worker and entrepreneur Ryan "Dickie" Thompson shares his proven roadmap to landing U.S.-based remote jobs while living anywhere in the Philippines — whether that's a beach hut in Siargao or a condo in Cebu.

Ryan isn't just another guy talking theory. He's been working remotely since 1999 — before most people even knew that was possible. He's held contracts with established companies like Talyst Inc. and built successful digital ventures like SLU2.com, SpunWebTechnology.com, and AssignMeYourTasks.com. From managing technical projects to automating client workflows, he's done it all without ever punching a clock or wearing a tie. This episode is packed with actionable insights from someone who has spent over two decades proving that the location-independent lifestyle is not only achievable, but sustainable.

This episode covers everything you need to know to get started or level up your remote career:

✅ How to build a professional resume that stands out — including the AI tools that make it faster and easier ✅ Where to find real, high-paying U.S. remote jobs that welcome Filipino applicants ✅ How to use SpunWebTechnology.com's automation agents to apply for jobs, filter listings, and save hours every day ✅ Details on the newly launched Digital Nomad Visa in the Philippines — and what it means for expats and global freelancers ✅ The most in-demand job categories for Filipinos working with international clients — from Virtual Assistants to SEO Experts

Ryan also discusses how clear communication, a decent internet connection, and a growth mindset can change your life faster than you think. You don't need to be a coding genius or have a college degree to make this work. You just need to be willing to learn, adapt, and take action.

"If I can do this from a rooftop in Cebu in 1999, you can absolutely do it now with fiber internet and the right tools." — Ryan "Dickie" Thompson

This podcast/blog episode is not just about remote work — it's about reclaiming your time, increasing your income, and living free from centralized control and corporate dependence. It's a blueprint for liberty in the digital age, especially tailored for independent thinkers, expats, freelancers, and Filipinos who want to rise above the system.

Whether you're just getting started or already working online but want to level up, this episode delivers clarity, strategy, and motivation from someone who has walked the talk for over 20 years.
