    Cryptocurrency Explained - Anja Schuetz

    We were lucky enough to meet Anja during our time in Bulgaria, and noticed quickly how much knowledge she had to offer regarding cryptocurrencies - a field in which we'd always been interested, but didn't know where to start. In Anja's own words: There are three kinds of people The ones who want to get rich quick and get into Bitcoin without any educationThe ones who dismiss this "Bitcoin hype" and wait for group #1 to lose all their moneyThe ones who sense that Bitcoin will become really important for their financial future, and are curious to learn more before risking any moneyYou'll be unsurprised to learn that she chooses to work with the third kind. Joel sat down with Anja to take a quick, yet insightful dive into the world of cryptocurrencies and what the average person needs to know if they're considering dipping their toes in! ------------ For questions and ideas, contact us at: https://www.globalconvoy.com For Anja's courses and information: https://anjaschuetz.net/

    Travelling the World through Poker - Christin Maschmann

    There are many routes that people take to travel the world, but a growing trend is to become a digital nomad. This usually involves digitising your current job role or branching out into an industry where you can work remotely. We've been at Coworking Bansko in Bulgaria for a while now and have met all sorts of digital nomads. But Christin Maschmann is definitely an unusual case! Joel sat down with her and got to know the ins and outs of the Poker world, how it helped Christin to visit different countries, some of the insane stories that came from it and some of the serious struggles she's had along the way!

    Co-working: A Base for Digital Nomads - Matthias Zeitler

    Everyone dreams of the open road and being able to travel where and when they like. But for the vast majority of people, employment in a fixed location is the main reason this isn't possible. As technology improves, new works sectors open up and traditional work environments evolve, the idea of being a 'digital nomad' is becoming a reality for more and more people around the world! Joel sat down with Matthias from Coworking Bansko (in Bankso, Bulgaria) to find out about how he started his venture ahead of the curve and why Coworking Bansko has been so successful. https://coworkingbansko.com/
