Learn how to start an online business and live life as a digital nomad (even if you dropped out of college, quit your job, and have no business experience).

Guest, Mitko Karshovski is a serial entrepreneur, traveler, and the Host of That Remote Life, a fellow podcast focused on helping people become location independent. Mitko has been a digital nomad since 2017 and has plenty of experience and insight to share with you all.
