    Go Nomad: Curiousity More Than Fear with Desmond Dixon | TNN86

    Sales is a fundamental aspect of any business, and it involves promoting and selling products or services to customers. In today's digital age, digital sales channels such as e-commerce platforms, online marketplaces, and social media have become increasingly popular. These channels allow companies to reach a wider audience and make it easier for customers to purchase products from anywhere in the world. Digital nomads are people who use technology to work remotely, and they often rely on digital sales channels to make a living.
    On this week's episode of The New Nomad, Desmond Dixon delves into the topic of sales in the digital nomad world and provides valuable tips for success. He also emphasizes the importance of a mindset in which curiosity trumps fear, encouraging people to embrace new experiences and opportunities, even if they may be uncomfortable or unfamiliar.

Desmond now trains and leads sales teams for small businesses that want to go from 6 figures and get to 7 figures in sales.

    Seeking "Home" in the World with Act for Change with Lea Misan | TNN83

    Seeking "Home" in the World with Act for Change with Lea Misan | TNN83

    Across cultures and centuries, people of varied means have made homes for themselves and those they care about. The people who live with us and the material possessions with which we furnish our home space are essential aspects of the place where we dwell. Complex interactions with all these elements give a definition to home as we see it. And as we define home, we also define ourselves in relation to it. Cliche as it seems but home is where the heart is.
    Lea Misan, Director of the mental health charity, Act for Change, joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in this episode of The New Nomad. They discussed how we as humans crave connection more than anything and the same thing makes us thrive in this world. They also talked about building relationships impacts digital nomads the most, given their mobility, and creating meaningful connections would benefit their mobile lifestyle. So tune in this week and get ready to learn a lot about relationships, connections, and why no man should be an island.

    [7:50] How digital nomads deal with uncertainty
    [10:07] Supporting each other as a team
    [20:39] Travel to become more fluid
    [22:33] We're built for community, we're built for connection
    [26:57] Healing generations of wounds
