Travis Sherry and Jason Moore
Ready for an unfiltered, behind the scenes, look at what the location independent and digital nomad lifestyle is really like?

Today we are talking with Jeremy Enns, founder of Podcast Marketing Academy and Counterweight Creative. I have had the honor of knowing ( & becoming great friends with) Jeremy since he first joined LI in 2016 and have watched his businesses grow like crazy. Jeremy (& his partner Kelly) are true digital nomads in that they have been living all over the world for years while working on their ever-expanding businesses.
In this episode, we discuss digital nomad visas (& how things line up as they are supposed to), what the journey looks like from scrapping by to fully location independent, and why it is smart to build your business with a lifestyle-first mindset to avoid a lot of stressors that happen when you are growing your business.
We also get into why travel doesn't have to be the thing you build everything around, how having an exit strategy for your business is a positive thing especially when you are first starting it up, and how you know when you need to pivot or pull the plug.
What was your biggest takeaway from today's episode? Let us know over on Instagram!
TLDR * Jeremy's location independent journey from scrapping-by to flourishing * Why a lifestyle-first mindset is important * Travel doesn't have to be the thing you build everything around * Why exit strategies are important even when first starting out * How do you know when to pivot vs pull the plug * Process first, outcome second * Sitting in discomfort can help you find your life purpose

Rob Abasolo is called the "King of Short Term Rentals" and he has used AirBnB to quit his job, make waaaay more money than before, and do the stuff he loves (like building tiny houses, renovating motels, and giving people epic experiences). But it wasn't always that way - in fact, his very first short term rental project that was supposed to take 3 months took 13!
It's no secret that I am a massive fan of real estate and short term rentals specifically, and so not only do Rob and I geek out on short term rentals on the podcast, but...
...we are also running a totally free 2 day workshop called "The 3 Biggest Myths About Short Term Rentals" on Oct 25th and 26th.
Click here to join the workshop - it's totally free!
So even if you don't know anything about short term rentals or if it's right for you, here's your chance to learn from two experts who learned the hard way!
Today we are talking with Craig Cannings, co-owner (with his wife Kelly) of Freelance University, father to five daughters, and lover of travel which means he fits in here in every way possible. I had the opportunity to get to know Craig over the last year and I couldn't wait to get him on the podcast because he effortlessly spits out fantastic insights without even trying.
In this episode, we are getting into how building a business while raising little kids demands that you have systems in place, why lifestyle first was the precipice for going on this journey into entrepreneurship, and how can you navigate a season of life change (like a business failing) in a way that best suits your family & your future self. We also get real about productivity & non-negotiable time and the role they play in the statement "I don't have enough time to build a business of my own" which (hint, hint) you have more time than you realize.
If you want to enter into a new season of life, give this episode a listen because waiting for something to happen vs taking action is going to dictate your outcome and we give away some great insights and advice on how to make it happen.
What are your expectations for starting your own business timewise? Are you being realistic? Let us know over on Instagram!

Today we are talking with Erica Hackman from The Nomadic Network who is also the owner of Decoding Online Dating. Erica and I go back a few years and she is one of my favorite people to talk to and it always seems like once we are together, we can spend hours upon hours talking about travel, and business, and even get into some deep topics effortlessly.
On this episode, we are getting into how people can ebb & flow from your life depending on the season you are currently in, why being comfortable being you can help you navigate your seasons of life, and how looking at your future through a lifestyle lens can make it less daunting and overwhelming. I adore our conversations and I am always learning and gaining so much great advice from my time talking with Erica.
When you look at the next 5 years from a lifestyle lens instead of a purely business mindset, what does it look like for you? Let us know over on Instagram!

Today we are talking with Wanda Duncan from Black Women Travl Community, podcast host of the amazing Black Women Travel Podcast, and the creator of the International Black Women Travel Jubilee being held in Tbilisi, Georgia this year.
We are getting into the macro and micro seasons that we all have in our lives, why she got her digital nomad visas to the countries of Georgia & Albania, how she broke away from the "normal" corporate life and dove head first into digital nomadism (& what she is looking for in a home base now), and what it was like to be a solo black woman traveler when the content creators surrounding the travel community weren't.

We mentioned this last week but for the next few episodes, I will be bringing on people who I have known for quite a while (or new friends) to discuss the seasons of life & entrepreneurship based on their path to location independence.
Today we are talking with Christine Lozada who is a travel creator, drone pilot, and podcast host of Everyday Badassery which is all about inspiring travel stories. She is all about travel and teaching thousands how to get the best shots using drones (and how not to destroy your drone in the process). You may recognize her from this year's Paradise Pack which included her course on How To Fly A Drone and since she is the "drone queen" you know you are learning from the best.
We are diving into how a single decision can set your life onto a new season, how you don't have to follow the path that you decided on if it isn't working for you, and why opening up to your inherent badassery may be the best thing to keep you moving forward. All of this plus so much more is on the table as I talk with the amazing Christine Lazada so grab your favorite beverage and enjoy this episode.
What is the most badassery thing you have done so far and what is still on the list? Let us know over on Instagram!
Guest Bio
Christine loves to explore the world from every angle - the land, underwater in the ocean while scuba diving, and from above in the sky with her three drones. As a travel creator, she captures the beauty of the places she travels to and tells stories that inspire and help others to discover new destinations.
She grew up in San Diego, California and after living the city life in SF and NYC while working in the corporate world of Walmart and Amazon, she realized the most badass thing she could do is to pursue a life of adventure and do things that help others to feel MORE alive: through travel, flying drones and living a more badass life.

We are back!!
For the next few episodes, I will be bringing on people who I have known for quite a while to discuss the seasons of life & entrepreneurship based on their path to location independence.
Today I get the esteemed pleasure to talk with NatNJodie from House Sitting Academy who are some of my oldest and dearest friends that I have made since starting my own entrepreneurial journey. We are discussing what their current season of life entails, how they got there, and what is happening next. This is a look at the honest truth about the location indie lifestyle and how it progresses and morphs throughout our lives (aka seasons).
What season is your life currently in? Let us know over on Instagram!
Guest Bio NatnJodie started their full-time traveling lifestyle in 2013 with just $300USD to their name, with no credit, no savings, and no real income source, after losing everything in a business startup in Dubai.
Over the past 9.5 years, they have reduced their travel costs primarily by house sitting their way around the world. Something that lead them to create the House Sitting Academy, publish a book on house sitting and appear in several media publications, including a National Geographic book.
In 2021, a life-changing event happened that totally shifted their perspective on working and the constant ‘hustle’ to make money, creating a mindset shift to ’semi-retire’, completely slow down, and enjoy life more. And funnily enough, they made 10x more money than ever before!

It has been a minute since we did a podcast but that is because we are imagining what this season is going to look like moving forward.
During this episode, Trav is contemplating the seasons of life and how they have to end before new ones can begin. This can be exciting and terrifying all at once but it can also be a relief to realize that these moments are a part of the journey.
Take a listen and see where are Trav's thoughts in this current season and what the future of the Location Indie podcast is going to look like.

How do you handle negative reviews?
When you put yourself out there you will eventually get a bad review (or two or three) but how you take in the information will dictate the overall outcome. You can't let it beat you down but can those reviews sometimes be catalysts to new ideas and changes...Absolutely.
Today we are diving into how we process negative reviews, steps to take to gleam any constructive criticism out of them, and how putting yourself in their shoes can make all the difference in how you feel about the review. This goes for any reviews you may receive in life whether they are from colleagues, friends, family, or strangers on the internet.

This is a hard one as change is oftentimes difficult.
We are saying goodbye to one-half of the founding team at Location Indie and that is never easy. We are very excited about the new journey that he is going on and we get to watch him succeed in all the new ways that we know he will.
While we will miss our friend on the business end of things, he is still our friend and that will never change so family vacations, podcast guesting, and late-night phone calls will still be happening.
Don't worry though because the LI podcast, community, and Lifestyle Launch Academy is still going strong and won't be going away anytime soon.
Change isn't inherently bad but a chance to redesign, rethink, and reimagine a bigger and better version of your life and how you live it. This is a good thing!
We will miss you, brother!

Today we are discussing why we spent 20k on coaching, how it can fast track your progress, and why coaching is such a positive investment in your future.
You can get to the next level on your own or you can utilize the minds & experience of those who are already doing it and doing it well, the choice is always yours. We choose to invest in ourselves (& businesses) to get to the stage we want in a much faster fashion because we know that time is money and spending all that time to figure it out on our own wasn't going to benefit us in the long run.

How does the speed at which you want to accomplish your goals affect your decisions?
Building the triangle of freedom and the goals and decisions that need to be made are all directly influenced by how quickly you need to become fully location independent.

There is a lot of discussion about morning routines with some living by theirs and others hating the restrictive qualities of them but is there a middle ground?
Building routines in your life can be a massive help in becoming a more effective person in both your business and personal life but does structure/routine mean there is no wiggle room for fun?
Today we are diving into whether a morning routine is BS or effective. While structure is important, it doesn't mean that you have to live the same day over and over and call it a life. Trav talks about a specific rule he uses in life to allow for both routine and spontaneity to live in harmony while still achieving his goals and crushing his workload. Jason is all about habits and creating awareness around what you do and don't do and how that affects your overall day.
So are you on team morning routines are BS or do you see the effectiveness of them? Take a listen to see what side wins!

While Trav has never seen Frozen in its entirety he has seen hours of random parts of it, Jason went to see Frozen On Ice with his daughter so they are experts in everything about "let(ting) it go" :P Queue the music...sorry if it is now stuck in your head.
Today's episode is all about letting go of things you may enjoy or give you value, the difficulties behind it, why it is important, and how it can help you move forward towards your goals. A lot of times it is way harder to let something go than it is to create something new so let's dive into why that is and the importance behind it all.
Are you filling your plate up with too many to-do's? When was the last time you asked yourself 'What can I let go of?' so that you are able to comfortably move forward into the life you are wanting?
In This Episode * 01:45 Lyrical Misheard * 04:35 Letting Go * 10:15 Feeling The Pressure * 17:40 Questions To Ask Yourself * 20:45 Gut Check Yourself & Minimalism

This is a great question that can be a great debate starter so let's start a debate. Trav & Jason have two very different viewpoints on whether being passionate about something actually matters when it comes to long-term business and life decisions. Does passion propel you forward or can it stop you in your tracks? Can being passionate about a topic lead to making different decisions in all aspects of life or does the idea of having or not having "passion" weigh you down. Does the difference lie in the definitions of passion & inspiration?
This is where the debate begins so listen to see which side wins out or maybe they are both correct, you decide! Who's side do you land on or are you riding the fence? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!

Do you know exactly what your dream average day would look like? Have you ever taken the time to sit down and write it out in detail?
Our coach, Stan The Man, gave us this exercise and since we have done it (& taught it) in the past, we thought this would be easy...it wasn't, and here is why.
- It had to be handwritten
- In narrative form from the moment you awake to the moment you fall asleep
- Highly detailed & specific
- Must be focused on the experience of the day (what are you seeing) and how it feels (emotions)
- If someone else were to read it, they had to be able to picture it in their heads like a movie
We gained massive insights from this exercise that will affect all of our future decisions in business and life and we know it can do the same for you hence this podcast episode.

How does the speed at which you want to accomplish your goals affect your decisions?
Building the triangle of freedom and the goals and decisions that need to be made are all directly influenced by how quickly you need to become fully location independent. Being familiar with your timeline from the start can be so beneficial that it allows you to go at a pace that sets you up for success from the beginning instead of just turning your wheels without a clear goal.

Is the thought of finding your passion overwhelming you? Has it stopped you from moving forward in starting your side hustle?
After reading a great article called "Not Every Hobby Is A Side Hustle" by Ann Friedman we are diving into the idea of whether doing what you're passionate about makes for the best side hustle, do you have to be passionate about your side hustle at all, and why being passionate about the results something gives you may enough.
What is your side hustle idea? Do you feel passionate about it or are you more passionate about the results it will give you? Please email us at Team@locationindie.com and let us know!
In This Episode: * 02:15 Lessons From A Deviled Egg * 04:30 Does Your Side Hustle Have To Be Something Your Passionate About? * 11:15 Getting Into An Industry That Your Hobby or Interest Lies In * 14:45 Passion As A Whole Or Only A Piece * 17:20 The Danger Of The Word Passion * 19:13 You Can Be Passionate About The Results & Not The Thing
Quotes: "If you are passionate about something, does it have to become a side hustle? The answer is no. You should and can take sacred things that you do in life and say I am never going to turn this into a business." [14:47]
"Maybe it is healthier to not look at the overall business as something you have to be passionate about." [16:01]
"That is the danger of the word passion to me when it relates to entrepreneurship and starting side hustles is that people will say 'Do I have to be passionate about something to start a side hustle around it?' and it's hard to give a yes or no answer because passion isn't something that is always a yes or no thing." [17:23]
"So if you're sitting there and your saying, 'I don't know if I am passionate about this?'. Does it spur your interest a little bit? Is it something that you think would be fun? And if so, then you might go down that path to start seeing if it is something you're passionate about with the caveat that if you don't end up crazy passionate about it, that is also okay." [18:47]
"You don't always have to be crazy passionate about the thing that you're doing. You can be passionate about the results that you are going to achieve because of that." [19:13]

Do you say yes to everything that comes your way? What have been the repercussions or successes of doing so?

Quotes: "You want to make sure you are saying no to the things that aren't as important so that you can say yes when an opportunity comes up that is important or that is something that you want to take advantage of." [12:33]
"Taking things away is actually sometimes the solution." [13:32]
"As humans, I think most of us are conditioned to always want to say yes and put ourselves second." [15:05]
"If you think about your time as your greatest asset (which it is) then you protect that like crazy. [15:53]
"If people take just one thing away from everything they have ever listened to on this podcast, I think the most important thing you can try to do and the most important lesson I can ever impart is the more proactive you are the better your life is going to be. [17:25]

"There's no ceiling on your income" [10:08]
"Money isn't tied to time but time doesn't equal productivity" [12:15]
"In the hierarchy of a company, there is going to be someone over you telling you if that was done correctly or not, and when you are an entrepreneur you are that person making those calls." [17:13]
"When your an entrepreneur your confidence comes from building something didn't exist before & then serving those clients or customers & the feedback coming from them" [20:37]

Last week we discussed the triangle of freedom (if you missed it go back and take a listen) so that you can be proactive and not reactive in your own life. Today, we are getting into what we believe is the best way to start your path to the triangle of freedom and that is the side hustle. Now, this doesn't have to mean that you take this giant leap from full-time work to scrambling to make money but instead having a side hustle builds a bridge from full-time employed work to full-time work in your own business without the stress and drama of having to sink or swim.

How much is business a part of your lifestyle?
Today we are breaking down lifestyle business vs business lifestyle and what that actually means. Once you start your business your eyes get opened to all things business-related so that you can improve your business, expand your network, & share knowledge with others all while having fun (yes, actual fun).
We talk a lot about the lifestyle part of location independence such as traveling but we haven't really dived into the business lifestyle and what that can look like for many people especially those who are just starting out. It is time for us to flip the lifestyle business term on its head, get intuned with the business mindset, and embrace the freedom to explore without limits.

We choose to invest in ourselves (& businesses) to get to the stage we want in a much faster fashion because we know that time is money and spending all that time to figure it out on our own wasn't go to benefit us in the long run.

And now for podcast #2 with a LIVE audience via our Zoom room!
Is it okay to still be talking about travel? No one wants to be seen as insensitive, uncaring, or tone-deaf during these extremely tough times (for us all) so this is a question a lot of us in the travel world have been asking ourselves. Trav came up with 6 reasons why not only is it okay but we should be talking about travel right now. Join us as Trav breaks down his list and Jason either agrees or counterargues with his views.
We hope you all are healthy, happy, & safe! Remember we will all be traveling once again in the near future but for now, it is our duty to stay home so that the world can be a safer place for everyone.
We decided to switch things up for our next 2 podcasts and record them with a LIVE audience via Zoom and man, did you guys not let us down! For part 1 we asked our live audience, 'what is one positive thing you are doing now that you weren't doing before this #quarantinelife' and we got some inspiring answers. While the coronavirus should be taken very seriously, we wanted to do something fun to show that it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom & we can make this new normal a positive one if we try.
We hope you all are healthy, happy, & safe! Remember we will all be traveling once again in the near future but for now, it is our duty to stay home so that the world can be a safer place for everyone.

While Trav has never seen Frozen in its entirety he has seen hours of random parts of it, Jason went to see Frozen On Ice with his daughter so they are experts in everything about "let(ting) it go" :P Queue the music...sorry if it is now stuck in your head.
Today's episode is all about letting go of things you may enjoy or give you value, the difficulties behind it, why it is important, and how it can help you move forward towards your goals. A lot of times it is way harder to let something go then it is to create something new so let's dive into why that is and the importance behind it all.
Are you filling your plate up with too many to-do's? When was the last time you asked yourself 'What can I let go of?' so that you are able to comfortably move forward into the life you are wanting?
In This Episode * 01:45 Lyrical Misheard * 04:35 Letting Go * 10:15 Feeling The Pressure * 17:40 Questions To Ask Yourself * 20:45 Gut Check Yourself & Minimalism

This is a great question that can be a great debate starter so let's start a debate. Trav & Jason have two very different viewpoints on whether being passionate about something actually matters when it comes to long term business and life decisions. Does passion propel you forward or can it stop you in your tracks? Can being passionate about a topic lead to making different decisions in all aspects of life or does the idea of having or not having "passion" weight you down. Does the difference lie in the definitions of passion & inspiration?
This is where the debate begins so listen to see which side wins out or maybe they are both correct, you decide! Who's side do you land on or are you riding the fence? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!

September is all about starting a new season in life and our spotlight member has done that in a big way. Lance Wright does things on his own terms but always with passion and respect for everyone around him and we call that ultimate class. He is the first to step up and help others around him and in the community, offer support to anyone who needs it, and strongly believes that if it is in your heart then it is something you should pursue. He was brave enough to ask for what he wanted from his boss and got it and that allows him to travel for 7 months knowing that his job that he likes is there waiting for him. Whether or not he decides to follow that path or embark on another new journey …well, we can’t wait to find out the answer to that. Congrats to Lance on being our Member Spotlight for September 2019!
You can find Lance at The Midlife Crisis Traveler & follow him on Facebook

She tells the whole, rollicking story of how they created this lifestyle - including why writing $5 press releases for nail salons played a huge part in their success - in today's Behind the Paradise Pack interview.
