Jordan Carroll - Remote work and digital nomadism change lives

Jordan Carroll is a coach, entrepreneur, speaker, video producer, and digital nomad! Also, one of the most interesting persons in the digital nomadism world I met.

We met in Bali during the Running Remote conference and recorded this interview at 7 am on the balcony of my hotel room. We had fun recording this podcast episode and Jordan shared amazing information to anyone who wants to work remotely and/or be a digital nomad.
