The NextDay Nomad Podcast

Hola Amigos, In this episode of The NextDay Nomad Podcast, I unpack the 5 brutal stages between wanting freedom and actually living it, and why most people never make it past stage two.

This is for anyone who's ever dreamed of ditching the cubicle, booking the one-way ticket, or building something that actually feels like theirs… but keeps falling back into "comfort." If you're stuck in that loop, thinking about it, talking about it, but not taking action, this one's a wake-up call.

I get real about the fear, the procrastination disguised as planning, and the discomfort that separates dreamers from doers. I take you behind the curtain of my own journey, from waiting tables and watching YouTube videos of digital nomads… to building my own business, hitting record from Vietnam, and finally feeling what real freedom actually looks like.

What We Cover:

• The 5 Stages Between Comfort and Freedom
• Why "being responsible" is just fear in disguise
• Productive procrastination and how it traps you
• The mindset shift that finally got me unstuck
• Why your breakthrough is hiding behind discomfort
• The moment most people give up—and how to push through
• What earned freedom actually looks like in real life
• How to stop outsourcing your life to jobs, governments, and fear

What if the freedom you're chasing isn't something you find—it's something you build?

In this episode, I sit down with María Piedrahita, the creative force behind Kiin Living and Versus Hotel in Medellín, Colombia—two intentional co-living spaces built for digital nomads, remote entrepreneurs, and wellness-driven creatives who want more than just fast Wi-Fi and pretty views.

This isn't about escaping life—it's about designing a better one.

Inside the episode:

• No lease. No co-signer. Just show up with a passport and purpose

• Gyms, saunas, coworking spaces, wellness events, and yoga, all in one space

• An app that brings your lunch to your Zoom callStaff who know your name, your schedule, and your favorite drink

• A community built to elevate, not distract, you

Whether you're dreaming about your first remote work adventure or searching for a place to finally call home base, this episode will shift how you think about freedom, lifestyle, and what it really means to live on your terms.

What you will learn:

• Why Medellín is the new capital of freedom for remote workers

• How to create a living space that actually fuels your mindset and success

• The hidden link between your environment and your identity

• How intentional spaces can inspire better habits, deeper focus, and bigger growth

• What it really takes to thrive, not just survive, as a digital nomad

If this episode inspired you, share it with a friend, leave a review, and remember this—you're not stuck. You're just one decision away from designing the life you actually want.

Hola Amigos, In this episode of The NextDay Nomad Podcast, I break down exactly why you're still stuck in the office, mentally, physically, emotionally, and how to finally break free.

This one is for the 9-to-5ers staring at the clock, praying for Friday, scrolling Instagram thinking "how the hell are these people working from the beach?" I was you. I had the commute. The gray cubicle life. The fake small talk around the coffee machine. And then one day I said no more.

We dig into the mindset, money strategy, lifestyle design, and uncomfortable choices that took me from a cold Canadian commute to recording this episode in Vietnam after 18 countries traveled.

Whether you're still playing it safe, waiting for permission, or thinking remote life is "for other people" this one's for you.

What We Cover

• Why you feel stuck in your 9-5 (even if you're "good" at it)

• How your environment is keeping you small

• The mindset shift that helped me take back control

• From commission-only to career freedom—how I made the leap

• What life looks like now working from Southeast Asia

• Why most people wait too long, and how to set your exit date now

• Real talk: no one's coming to save you (and that's your superpower)

Hola Amigos, in this episode of The NextDay Nomad Podcast, I go full throttle on one of the biggest reasons people never chase their dreams: they're scared of being called "cringe." This isn't just about haters, it's about friends, family, and coworkers who secretly want you stuck so they don't have to confront their own lack of courage.

We dive deep into the mindset shift it takes to keep swinging despite the noise, the mockery, and the fear of judgment. From Steve Harvey's iconic "TV for the teacher" move to modern examples of creators using hate as fuel, this episode is for anyone tired of playing small just to keep weak people comfortable.

Letting go of toxic circles, building a remote life while getting mocked by people still clinging to their comfort zones, and realizing that choosing your vision over their approval is the ultimate power move. If you've ever been called "too much," "too loud," or "too cringe," this is your episode.

What We Cover

• The savage truth behind why people call your dreams cringe

• How to use haters as jet fuel

• Dead weight in your friend circle? Time to snip-snip

• Steve Harvey, the Paul brothers, and why criticism is often a mirror

• Why people mock what they secretly wish they had the courage to do

• From acting, to business, to 18 countries, why I've already won

• Mindset vs. excuses: how ordinary people do extraordinary things

Hola Amigo's, in this episode of The NextDay Nomad Podcast, I chat with Terri Boucher, Calgary-based conservative dating coach and host of Unhinged & Healing, to talk about love, freedom, and waking up in a country that feels upside down. We dive deep into Canada's recent election aftermath, the implications of Mark Carney's leadership, and what's next for Alberta's future. From Danielle Smith's bold leadership and the growing separatist sentiment to the nuclear family, modern feminism, and what it really takes to align with a partner who gets it, this is a raw, real, and timely conversation for anyone feeling politically homeless or spiritually disconnected in the West. Terri shares her red pill moment, her journey away from modern feminism, and how she helps women ditch the swipe culture and step into intentional, values-based relationships. We also unpack how the culture wars have impacted masculinity, dating, and the loneliness epidemic in Canada. What We Cover:

• Why alignment in values is non-negotiable in modern relationships

• The rise of conservative women rejecting modern feminism

Hola, Amigos. Today, I sit down with Derek Skol and give you a BONUS episode as we head into the weekend before the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION of our generation. Derek and I discuss the current political climate in Canada, focusing on the upcoming election and the implications of Mark Carney's potential leadership. They explore themes of division within the country, the influence of globalism, and the challenges facing the middle class. The conversation also touches on the future of Canada, social mobility, and the potential for Alberta to separate and model itself after successful nations like Singapore.

We discuss various pressing issues in Canada, including bizarre laws, societal safety, Alberta's political landscape, environmental concerns, Quebec's influence, Canada's economic potential, political accountability, freedom of speech, and media influence. They explore the complexities of the Canadian political system, the challenges faced by different provinces, and the need for a more cohesive national strategy to address economic and social issues.

We also examine Canada's current state, focusing on issues such as national pride, government accountability, economic challenges, taxation, and the exodus of entrepreneurs. The authors express concerns about political polarization and the need for compassionate dialogue among differing viewpoints.

The discussion emphasizes the importance of leadership and the necessity for change in Canadian politics, urging listeners to engage in the electoral process and consider the future of the country.
