This episode has been in the pipeline for a while. Recorded in February but only being released in June due to multiple life situations but the good thing is it's finally out. And there is no better way to close off the Digital Nomad series than by giving you a step-by-step guide on how to become one.

Goncalo's belief in the future of Digital Nomads is almost unmatched. Coupled with his experience in developing digital nomad spaces and as a former freelancer himself, there really isn't much to argue about what he says. With that in mind, he helps break down the barrier on what skills you need to be a digital nomad in your field, how to start, which resources you need to learn about yourself and about your field to become a digital nomad.

Even though digital nomads crave the idea of working and travelling, they also need communities of people that share the same desire. Thats where NomadX comes in. It offers communities for nomads who don't want to just visit a place but also experience and give back to the people and communities they are in. It's not just a two-day tourist opportunity, but rather a worthwhile effort to take in new experiences and share ideas on one's digital nomad journey.

This week I talk to Goncalo Hall, CEO of Nomadx about his work on building communities, the future of digital nomads and what he believes is possible for Africa in the digital nomad space.

One of the many joys of interviewing people and hearing their stories is experiencing the why behind their drive. Tarryn Jolly is a visual storyteller, who works as a digital nomad in South Africa. She started her journey when a neighbor asked her to create a video. And from then on, she made it her living.

In this episode we focus on another approach of being a digital nomad by starting out in your own home country. Most people assume being a digital nomad includes airport hoping and visa haggling every time. But Tarry puts a new and different spin to it, by travelling through South Africa and telling the stories of both her clients and the people she meets.

Goes to show, you really can do anything is you are true to yourself and honest to the path that you take!

The first part of The Big Move Series focuses on soon to be graduates and how they are dealing with feelings of both excitement and anxiety over taking the leap into work life. Most of us have been there, trying to figure out whether we will be able to get a job in our chosen career field, the peer pressure as our friends seem to find jobs or have solid plans ahead of us. We decided to sit down with these students and figure out just how are they handling it.

In this episode, we have Adewale Adejumo, co-founder of DropStore and founder of Zasttra. He takes through his early journey as an entrepreneur, the highs and lows and how he has managed to deal with all the challenges that come with it.

Originally aiming to become a Scientist, Adewale took the turn to entrepreneurship when he realised that  he could make a living off of selling goods and merchandise shipped from China to local South Africans. Starting out with 1200 rands back in 2012, and managing to turn that into 300 000 rands in thte forst year alone. This later morphed into his venture with Zasttra, an e-commerce platform and then most recently partnering with Olufemi Baiyewu ot launch Dropstore.

For Adewale, learning and reading has been a key component in achieving this goals and also overcoming the trails of entrepreneurship. Reading close to 90 books a year has developed his business skill and acumen. On his top 3 most influential books are Exponential Organisation,  How to Win Friends and Influence People and The Code of the Extraordinary Mind.

Recently, Adewale has started a podcast called Happy Like Buddha,  which actively aims to share insights into how to better oneself and be a more beneficial and productive individual to community.

Its 2021 and everyone is trying to make money online, I definitely have been on that search myself (which may or may not have led to this podcast). But the hardest drawback is finding the right information on how to start an e-comm business in Africa given our wonderful continent's ehhh drawbacks to say the least. Now Bernard  Loots of GrowthStart and GrowthStart Insights  rightly answered my questions on how to navigate the everchanging African E-comm atmosphere, what to look out for and also just how much of a challenge is it to start an e-commerce business.

In his own words, the best thing you can do for yourself is to JUST START!! Once you start, you can then lead yourself through all the murky waters of online businesses with the trusty help of the people at GrowthStart and Google. Most of the fears in our heads don't often materialise since they are only in our heads!
