How to have an incredible career & build a world-class network when you're location-independent ~ Wes Wagner
07/21/20 • 60 min
When I started traveling and working remotely I kept thinking is this just a phase? Or will I eventually have to go back to the U.S. and start a "real" career?
Then I met today’s guest, Wes Wagner, and he proved to me you absolutely can.
Wes is a 24-year-old startup founder who typically splits his time between Indianapolis in the U.S and Medellín, Colombia. When I met Wes two years ago in Medellín, he was 22-years old, fresh out of college, and spearheading marketing for a silicon-valley based startup called Microverse. Last year he went through Y Combinator, the most prestigious startup accelerator in the world. Now he’s combining all that experience to start his own tech company.
What I love about Wes is that he lives a life that bridges many cultures and communities. Simultaneously, He’s a Spanish-speaking lover of Latin America, he’s plugged into the Silicon Valley tech scene, and he’s a self-described “family man” that loves the Indianapolis 500, boating, and mudding.
Wes believes you can have an incredible career while living abroad, and that you can plug in with world-class communities regardless of your physical location. In this episode, he explains how.

Sam Kern on That Remote Life
This episode is an interview I did on the That Remote Life podcast with Mitko Karshovski. We discuss how I discovered digital nomadism and got my first part-time remote freelance gig, why I started Radically Different, the “surprising power of remote work” and how it gives you the freedom to follow your curiosity, whether or not you should get a remote job before moving abroad, and the future of the digital nomad movement.

Monetizing your passions + becoming location-independent ~ Debbie Arcangeles
Debbie Arcangeles is the founder of The Offbeat Life - a podcast and a website that helps people find remote work or start an online business. She's interviewed over 150 location-independent entrepreneurs, and she’s turned her podcast (which began as a passion-project) into her full-time job.
In this conversation, Debbie gives her perspective on how to become location-independent and create income from your passions. She also explains how she ignored conventional advice and was able to monetize her podcast. We discuss what it means to live an “offbeat life”, the sacrifices and tradeoffs of being an entrepreneur, and when it makes sense to hire a team and start delegating your work.
