A voice for e-residents in Estonia, with Mark Izatt
Remote Work Europe
06/03/22 • 45 min
Mark Izatt is a luxury brands consultant, early adopter of e-residency, and board member of the non-profit EERICA: the Estonian E-residents International Chamber Association.
EERICA is the official 'voice' of the more than 80 thousand strong community of e-residents, to the government of Estonia. They fulfil a vital lobbying and policy-making role, but also offer members highly valuable professional networking opportunities. For Mark, it's a chance to give back to e-Residency and Estonian business culture, which he credits with unexpectedly reshaping his whole approach to business and entrepreneurship.
As a freelancer, Mark provides a very interesting example of the way you can create a resilient and interesting portfolio career by combining a range of long term roles and directorships, if the gig-driven lifestyle does not appeal - a good reminder, for anyone considering their options in this space. And he includes some excellent tips for de-risking the shift into adopting an e-resident business lifestyle.

Creating digital nomad communities, with Gonçalo Hall from NomadX
Remote Work Europe
08/05/22 • 42 min
When your lifestyle means you travel all the time, what do you look for in a destination? And what does it mean to feel like you're 'coming home'?
Today's guest Gonçalo Hall knows that digital nomads seek community and connectedness, alongside their next adventure - and when you don't live in a fixed location, that sense of community matters more than ever.
NomadX is combining the persistence and permanence of a digital community, with a growing network of physical communities - places that digital nomads can find the accommodation and infrastructure they need to do their work, but can also find those less tangible things we all need. Other people who understand you, events which immerse you in the local culture, and ways to connect, share, and give back. As Gonçalo has memorably explained it, "people don't move from one place to another, they move from one community to another" - and NomadX make that easy, sustainable, and enjoyable.
From Madeira to Cape Verde, via Brazil, Switzerland, and a dozen more pins on the map, you can find your tribe wherever you go. And that tribe is changing, differentiating, and growing all the time.

Freelancing as a company-of-one is a great way to live - flexible, versatile, and autonomous.
But, as a solopreneur, you have different vulnerabilities, when unexpected change happens. Have you ever thought about how you'd cope, if something came up and you simply couldn't work as normal, if your whole world shifted overnight?
Or what if your client had a crisis, which directly impacted on your work together? What kind of relationship have you really established? Because there are other kinds of crises that affect the whole world at once, as we all know. If you can't prepare for unknown unknowns, how can you future-proof your income and lifestyle, when there's no in-house team to have your back?
As freelancers, we are usually more diversified than employees, in terms of our income and activities, and we're also used to change. That's a superpower we can use, to keep up with a changing world, and support our clients and associates through changes too.
Your podcast host Maya Middlemiss has rolled with some big shifts during her freelance career, from the global ones you all know about to individual family challenges, and she's learned a thing or two about positioning a solopreneur career for resilience - not just because she writes and researches future tech trends.
Nobody knows what the future holds, but you can face better than most, if you expect a state of flux, and keep one eye on the horizon.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) is an attractive route to freelancing - and an easy option for anyone who was lucky enough to be born a native speaker of the global tongue for business and communications.
But making a decent hourly rate is challenging, with a proliferation of platforms and marketplaces, and varied levels of qualification and experience required.
Today we talk to a solopreneur who has not only made a career success of specialised English teaching, he has created a great lifestyle as well, and travelled the world. Combining unique niche industry knowledge with a commitment to professional development, Russ Pearce is proof that TEFL can truly take you places, in every sense.
What could you do, to leverage native linguistic advantage, alongside personal career experience and subject matter expertise? The sky's the limit (especially if, like Russ, you're an aviation specialist.). He even has time to write a great travel blog too - www.anythingbutpaella.com - as he explores the lesser known parts of his chosen home in Spain.

Remote Work Europe
01/06/23 • 33 min
As we transition from 2022 to 2023, the future is bright, for the Future is Freelance show.
Thanks to all the amazing guests who were part of our first year journey, and to the exceptional infrastructure provided by Xolo, we know that solopreneurs are poised to have their most exciting year ever.
This time of year is when we plan, we set intentions, we focus on what means most: what we are grateful for, what we value, what we hope for, for ourselves and the wider world. We explore trends, and relate them to what we have to offer, to how we can differentiate ourselves while simultaneously collaborating as part of a broader movement.
Because we are the changemakers, the wave riders, the trend setters. We have tools at our disposal, like Estonian e-Residency, platforms like Xolo, and a globally connected world in which to operate. While that world faces many challenges today, we have never been better placed to make the best of it.
The future is freelance, and we are it!
