Guest Bio:Brett Gelfand is Co-Founder and CEO of PAQ Case and a managing partner of CannaBIZ Collects . Brett was one of my closest friends on the 4-month Remote Year program I was on so it made sense to have him as my first guest on The Nomad on FIRE Podcast. You'll gain some great insights and hopefully, have some laughs in this action-packed interview! We discuss traveling, geoarbitrage, living in Medellin, Colombia, what it's like to be an entrepreneur and a digital nomad, and so much more.Links Mentioned:Remote Year , travel program for digital nomads where Brett and I metSemester at SeaPAQ Case , Brett's main businessCannaBIZ Collects , Brett's side businessStartup Stoners PodcastBrett Gelfand on LinkedInShow Notes: Brett’s Background [01:10]How Brett got to DJ Kurt Cousins Wedding [02:00]“Lean In” to business and in life [02:30]Brett was 24 years old running a Cannabis company that had just raised $20 million in capital [03:20]How Brett came up with the idea for Paqcase [05:30]What it's like to be an entrepreneur and a digital nomad [08:40]Remote Year was the best opportunity for me [09:45]Brett’s thoughts on Medellin, Colombia [11:40]El Poblado Area is a great place for Remote Workers [12:30]Cost of living in Medellin, Colombia [14:25]Brett’s experience with Semester at Sea [16:35]By following the Principles of Financial Independence Eric now has the opportunity to travel the world as a digital nomad [19:45]How to work through some of the struggles of being a digital nomad [20:30]Brett and I both plan to stay in places more longer-term as digital nomads moving forward 2-6 months ideally 24:10What does a perfect day look like? 27:30Brett’s advice- “Lean In” 30:05You just have to act! 32:4533:00 Don’t SettleEric took the leap to quit his job and become a digital nomad 34:35Remote Year and the digital nomad lifestyle is a great option if you're not sure of your current life path 36:35Eric’s experience leaning in 37:30Where to connect with Brett online 38:50And much more...Significant quotes: “Why am I working at home by myself” 09:25“It's not just about the next paycheck” 10:49“Spend five bucks on lunch” 14:40“I think that’s actually the number, your money can go 2-3 times as far” 15:12“I basically took an extra college semester” 16:45“Awakened me into realizing a lot about the world, about people and about what my life could be” 17:25“I’m passionately really falling in love with just traveling” 18:28“By following the Principles of Financial Independence now I have my opportunity a little bit later in life, and it's still just as awesome” 19:45“Being a digital nomad helps create more discipline” 21:43“Work hard, play hard” 22:38“Let me spend 3-6 months in a city and really make it my home” 23:10“Everything in life is expectations” 26:17And much much more...
