“Nomad Summit” is a conference held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, each year, that attracts hundreds of people interested in the digital nomad life. Johnny also founded the “Nomad Coffee” where dozens of digital entrepreneurs gather each Friday afternoon in Chiang Mai, to network and learn from each other. He has podcasts, various online courses, does coaching, blogging, writes books, among many other interesting projects.
I admire him for his hard work, for always sharing all that he learns and for constantly trying to be a better version of himself. This way, he’s been helping thousands of people to do the same.
I first met Johnny in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2015, while working at Punspace, my favorite coworking there. I was just starting this podcast when I attended “Nomad Summit” conference with around a hundred people (last year it was over 400 people) and I really enjoyed it. So I wanted to hear from him the story behind it all. And here you’ll have it. We talk about all the “sides” of Johnny and you can see how humble and giving he can be.
*It took me 18 months to publish this, I owe Johnny and my followers my apologies for taking so long. Shame on me! The truth is that I had to prioritize other projects before I could come back to the podcast that I love producing. But the good news is that it’s done. Right? So enjoy!
