[00:04:56] Travelling abroad to manage properties can be scary and challenging, but it is doable with systems and processes. It requires giving up control and trusting others. Some issues such as tenant problems, lawn care, and cultural differences may arise, but the experience can be rewarding and make you appreciate the things going on in the United States.

[00:08:55] The author got in trouble for wearing sandals on a golf course in Thailand and was threatened with police involvement. They had to go back to their hotel and put on proper shoes to conform with the rules.

[00:32:39] Pushing yourself to do challenging things in shocking or difficult locations can make for a great story and add to your resume, according to the narrator who ran a marathon in Death Valley with less than seven weeks of training. It also makes for a cooler journey and can inspire others to do crazy, cool things.
