Recently, I attended FreedomXFest 2018. It is a festival where 400 location independent entrepreneurs hang out in the Pyrenees mountains of Spain for a week to mastermind, attend workshops, network, eat delicious food, and enjoy a plethora of outdoor activities.  It was a blast. I was fortunate enough to be asked to speak, present on a productivity panel and host a 7-figure location independent panel. We recorded the productivity panel and decided to make it into a podcast. Now, I have to apologize ahead of time, the volume is a little low, it was raining really hard outside at the time, but I thought the content was so great that it needed to be shared. On the panel with me are representatives from Facebook, Remote Year and Doist. All of them had some incredible tips about productivity to share and I think you guys will enjoy the show.
