Recording 100 podcasts in 100 days was more than just putting on a show for you. Hopefully you've been able to learn quite a bit from these episodes, but the part that excites me the most is due to my own challenge. After years of talking about doing a podcast, I finally decided to actually talk on a podcast, and publish it. Things have changed considerably since starting 3 months ago. Taking on this challenge was pretty difficult, but the reward you feel from actually accomplishing the...

Playa del Carmen Mexico is one of the better digital nomad hotspots, and is where I am now. The wifi situation has not been ideal in my experience, but some people have found better connections. Playa is about 15–20% more expensive than it was for me in Bangkok, but I've been eating out at fancier places, and doing new stuff since I only just arrived. Listen to today's podcast to find out the rest of my thoughts on Playa and staying here long-term. Stay emPowered, Beck

Explaining yesterday's Pessimism episode (podcast episode? My own episode?) Yesterday a lot of my fears and insecurities were bubbling to the surface. I know we all do this to some degree or another, and I'm a believer in dealing with it, letting it out, and getting it handled. Almost every time it happens, it is related to comparing myself to others or something else I think I should be doing. Handling it will get you past it and back to normal, and I cover some of the ways I deal with...

Does your brain make itself crazy too? Despite all evidence of past and current successes, our brains can find the flaws, make us feel weak and worthless, and fail to help us get things done. Today you can listen to a personal self-therapy session and hear how my brain is working as I record this episode, and how saying all this stuff out loud actually helps make it better to help me realize how silly our brains are. Hear how negative self-talk and general madness of that cycle can be dealt...

If you’re easily distracted from the things you were planning by the newer shinier thing that pops up, and the thing you were planning never ends up happening, you might need a way to stay accountable (like me). It’s why I started this public 100 podcasts in 100 days project. I could have kept it to myself as a personal goal, but knowing myself, I would have faffed it off at a much earlier episode than this one at 94. This one was a lot of work, and I would have easily quit or been...

Stuff can happen in life, and usually does. I made a video the other day with the intention of going into a totally different topic, ended up with a monologue about how I've had some of that stuff happen in my life recently.

Listen to how you too can get back to finding the real...

Making decisions and taking actions can be a good thing. A lot can be said for listening to all the things, reading all the things, and learning all the things…and even taking some initial actions. But very little gets said about that after the "getting started" phase of building a business. Things will get difficult, but it's part of the journey. There are a lot of aspects to a business, and there are tons of things that can keep you busy, but are merely distractions. Hear how it's showing...

Talking with my friend Libby last night, we got into a chat about people who put up a facade. Usually online in various places (like Tinder) that only shows the best parts of their life and to make them look good, but isn't authentic Authenticity is a lot easier than pretending to be something you're not. It's best to just be yourself so that the you that people see is the real you. Be authentic from day one and don't give a crap what anyone thinks. Stay emPowered, Beck

In talking with many other Digital Nomads, we seem to tend to all go to the same places, hang out in groups and packs, and general do the me too kind of travel.

Listen to today's podcast and hear more about the reasons why, in one of my more personal and authentic episodes. Stay emPowered, Beck

You haven't heard of Imposter Syndrome? You most likely have it, as most people seem to have it to some degree. It's that thing where you feel no matter how successful you are at something (often business), you don't really believe you're "good enough" and people are going to find out you're a fraud, and you'll be exposed as a charlatan, and you'll lose everything. Seems healthy enough? Ironically, the people who don't seem to have this issue are usually the ones who really should! Listen...

Today I wanted to talk about the necessity of therapy and having an outlet when living as a Digital Nomad or an entrepreneur and business owner. It's often a lonely life and no matter where you go, you go with you. Without an outlet or outside source of a place to get things sorted out with someone else rather than yourself alone is invaluable. I would encourage you to reach out to someone outside your normal sphere. Whatever works for you…whether a therapist, mentor, coach, or other kind of...
