#Work Anywhere: Advocacy for the Remote Work Movement with Ben Marks | TNN78
In an ever-globalizing world where flight prices are dropping and technology is developing at a dizzying rate, working online from anywhere in the world has never been so accessible to so many people. Having made a move to a fairly unconventional lifestyle takes a certain mindset and way of approaching life. Nomads are often strong self-starters, bold enough to chase something 'different', and have a key life event – leaving home to hit the road – in common. For the desk-bound, the unfulfilled, and the adventurous, it looks like heaven.
Ben Maks of WorkAnywhere.org talks about the ups and downs of being a digital nomad in this week’s episode of The New Nomad with Allen Koski and Brett Estep. The discussed responsible nomadism and the positive effect it has on the local economy. Ben also shared his insights about co-working spaces and how they could help everyone. Being a digital nomad is definitely freeing but every lifestyle has its own challenges. So tune in this week and be prepared to be taken in the world of the digital nomads - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
[6:55] What are we going to do with the buildings?
[9:34] Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivations
[13:53] Battling the Loneliness Epidemic
[16:23] Alternative working infrastructure: the future of workplaces
[24:44] Responsible Digital Nomadism should be a thing
[28:08] Co-living makes the digital nomad experience more fun
