What is that one thing that everyone that has a job craves for? Freedom, right? When Covid untethered us from our offices, many people experienced new forms of flexibility, and the taste of freedom left us hungry for more. We want our work to be a joyful expression and an enjoyable part of life - and freedom adds to that. Well, that is the goal of Remote.com’s CEO, Job van der Voort.

In this episode of The New Nomad, Job joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in a discussion about productivity and freedom in the remote work environment. Our three nomads shared their experiences and thoughts on the actuality of the laptop lifestyle and how to thrive in it with the tools and technology we have today. Actual work freedom is doing something you really enjoy, but remember: complete freedom comes from complete responsibility.
