My Credit Card Strategy
I recently spent the time going through my roster of credit cards to see which ones I should be using for various purchases. I believe I’ve come up with a pretty universal strategy, so I figured I’d share it since I’ve already done the research. To preface, if you are ever paying late fees or…

How to Enjoy Ballet and Opera
I love opera and ballet, but I didn’t always. I remember very excitedly going to my first ballet in San Francisco and leaving with no idea what I just saw and having thought that maybe there was a better way I could have spent my time and money. Opera wasn’t much better. A lot of…

Making Friends with Awesome People
I often get asked how I make friends with so many great people. This is sort of a funny question because I think most people actually don’t know just how great my friend group is, since they only know a few people who are well known. So in a way, it’s an even better question…

This is actually something I get asked about once in a while, so I figured I’d answer even though it’s fairly niche. Plus the general idea translates to land-based travel, too. The question is probably…

Being Early on Trends
I am early on a lot of trends. Before they were popular, I was into RV living, being a digital nomad, online gambling, wool, pickup, cryptocurrency, home automation, minimalism, and a whole lot of other things. There are also several things I’m into now that I believe will be more popular in the future (like…

Superhuman 2 Event
As I mentioned before, Superhuman #1 went extremely well. Everyone left not only with actionable steps to reach their goals, but also with connections to some other really great people. I was a little bit exhausted by the end, but it was really a great experience to get to do deep work with some of…

The Best Selling Car
It’s rare that I see advertisements. I have ad blocking on everything I own, if I go to a movie I try to go late to avoid previews and ads, and if I watch TV it is downloaded with the ads stripped or through Netflix. I still see some ads, of course, but not all…

If You Bought Forever Nomad, Please Resend Your Receipt
Hi, Sorry to bother everyone with this email, but somehow my tangle of email forwards didn’t make it to me, so I don’t have the receipts of people who bought Forever Nomad. Please resend to [email protected] and I will get your copy of Around The World in 15 Days sent to you ASAP. Again, very…
