That Remote Life | Interviews with Digital Nomads and Location Independent Entrepreneurs | TRL 142: Creating a Minipoly, Building in Public, and Growing a Dedicated Twitter Audience with Arvid Kahl

Today on the podcast I am very excited to be joined by Arvid Kahl, the author of Zero to Sold and The Embedded Entrepreneur. Arvid is also the creator of the Find Your Following course which teaches people how to build an authentic Twitter audience, something that Arvid certainly knows a thing or two about after growing his own following on Twitter to over 50,000 subscribers.

During this interview, Arvid and I discussed a wide range of topics, from how immigration to the US and Canada today differs from immigration before the information economy, how World of Warcraft caused Arvid to drop out of college, if you should trust your gut, and yes we, of course, discussed why and how to grow a Twitter audience. All this and much much more!
