    Talking with Ric Pratte of AVL Digital Nomads

    In 2021, mid-pandemic, Ric Pratte and fellow remote worker Ben Newton were hanging out at a brewery when they decided to launch a MeetUp Group: the Asheville Digital Nomads. Two years later,  the social networking group of remote/hybrid workers, solopreneurs and actual nomads has more than 1,700 members and it's growing. Particularly since LinkedIn recently named Asheville as the #2 city for remote workers (and also the 7th fastest-growing tech hub in June of 2022!). In our final episode of season 3, Jeff & Ric talk about the group's rapid growth, misconceptions about remote work and the various events they put on. Learn more about the AVL Digital Nomads.
