Ep. 14 Blind optimism, a bit of a luck and a whole lot of passion with AJ

Happy belated New Year!

After a bit of rest, relaxation and a minor freak out that is always brought on by a new year starting, The Business and Pleasure podcast is back! And, we're back with a bang.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with AJ, a digital nomad who runs a popular YouTube channel where he candidly discusses the highs and lows of remote work and documents his nomadic adventures. Not only that, AJ is also a talented copywriter.

I was really excited to chat with AJ as I’ve been following him for a while now. We both love travel and we both love a Greggs sausage roll, it was always going to be a match made in heaven.

What was intended to be a brief 30-minute conversation turned into an 1.5-hour discussion. AJ and I delved into what sparked his interest in travel, the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone, and the value of finding comfort amidst uncertainty. So, grab yourself a coffee, put your feet up and enjoy!
