Today I am not joined by just 1 previous guest, but 2, because today I am going to be covering the recent merger of NomadX and Flatio with the founders of each Radim Rezek and Dave Williams. Radim was on the podcast earlier this week on Episode 89, while Dave joined us a few months back on Episode 80.
This merger has the opportunity to really shake things up in the mid-term rental market and create real competition for Airbnb as a reliable place for digital nomads to find apartments and houses for rental periods longer than a few weeks, but less than a year, which is really a sweet spot for us global citizens.
We covered a ton of stuff during this round table conversation like what led to the merger, what it means for users of NomadX and Flatio, and what we as a community can expect in the next few years as they try to expand into the American market and as the number of digital nomads is only to predicted to explode due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
