What is digital nomad life really like beyond the Instagram highlight reel?

In this episode, I sit down with Benjamin Jones-Gerrard, a marketer who has lived and worked full-time in his self-converted campervan across Europe for the past three years.

Benjamin shares the reality of running a marketing career on the road, from client work and Wi‑Fi logistics to building a sustainable skill set that supports long-term freedom.

In this conversation, we cover:

• The biggest misconceptions about digital nomad and van life
• Why remote work is still a 9–5 (just with better views)
• How organization becomes a non‑negotiable skill
• Building a broad marketing skill set (video, paid social, SEO, websites)
• Why simple marketing consistently outperforms clever marketing
• Using AI and FAQs to stay relevant as search behavior changes
• Designing work and life environments that actually support performance

Whether you want to live on the road or not, this episode is packed with lessons for marketers looking to build flexible, resilient careers.
