Ep 07 - Successful Mindsets, Achieving Goals with Kurt Makela

My good buddy Kurt Mäkelä from New Zealand just got to Chiang Mai after a world trip to Medellín, Colombia and through New York and Oslo.  He is the man responsible for helping me write out dream lines that actually worked, kept me on task with my goals and to-do lists and was there when I was making less than $150 a month and barely getting by.  I'm excited to have back in Chiang Mai and as this week's guest.

Ep 05 - Teaching English to travel, Free birthright trip to Israel and Scuba Diving the best place on Earth with Stephen Winston

Stephen Winston from Northern California started his journey with a free birthright trip to Israel, but instead of going home he has been teaching English as a way to travel across Thailand.   Somehow he made his way to the world's best dive site on a remote island in Borneo, one that may not exist by the time you get there.   He then ended up extending his trip by teaching English in Thailand, all without needing a teaching certificate or license.  Listen to find out more.

"I have seen other places like Sipadan, 45 years ago, but now no more. Now we have found an untouched piece of art."  -Jacques Cousteau

Guest Sabrina Taylor and Host Johnny FD

I hope everyone enjoyed this episode, it was nice sitting down with Sabrina and talking to someone who isn't super technical and is just getting started in her lifestyle business.  I hope she becomes an inspiration to people listening to this podcast who are afraid to jump into the world of making websites and building online businesses.

She reminded me that not everyone wants the stress of starting their own online business right away and that working for another business is a great way to get an education and learn the ropes while getting to travel and live location independant.

Warm Regards,

Johnny FD
