That Remote Life | Interviews with Digital Nomads and Location Independent Entrepreneurs

Today on the podcast I am joined by Mike Elgan, a journalist, opinion columnist, and author who specializes in technology-enabled life transformation. Since beginning his journalism career in the early 90s he has written for publications like Computerworld, Security Intelligence, and many others.

I first met Mike in a Clubhouse room discussing the digital nomad lifestyle and then read an article he wrote for ComputerWorld titled "When work from home becomes work from anywhere" which outlined the long-term changes businesses will have to go through in order to continue operating remotely. During this interview, Mike and I talked about what got him interested in writing about tech in the first place, and we dove in deep into the rabbit hole of how work and business will change in a remote-first world, what many businesses are doing wrong as they transition to a remote work environment, and the biggest opportunities this shift is creating.

If you are you are at all curious about how remote work and technology will impact our world and economy over the next decade and beyond, or are exploring opportunities for a new business you are not going to want to miss this episode!
