    BN 115: Money Talk! Digital Nomad Finance & Banking

    It's definitely not the sexiest part of our nomadic adventures... but it may be the most vital.

    Still, banking's tricky because, more than most, it's not a one-size-fits-all topic. In this episode, Eli & Dan try to tackle the distinct financial "tiers" and the different opportunities nomads have -- all to eventually establish some universal truths & words of wisdom.

    If you're looking for a more practical episode -- one without any rose-tinted, Instagram-filtered glasses -- this one's for you.

    BN 114: What You Don't Expect About the Digital Nomad Lifestyle

    You pack your bags and hit the road with a certain expectation in your mind.

    You imagine what you might experience, how you might change, what you might see, and who you might meet.

    But after years on the road, once the honeymoon phase has worn off... What unexpected realities might the digital nomad lifestyle bring?

    In this episode, we look past the glamorization and excitement of this lifestyle. Let's talk about some of the hard personal truths & ongoing psychological battles that might emerge.

    Because as much as there is to love about the digital nomad path, its reality isn't a Hollywood story and it isn't a shiny Instagram post.
