Recording 100 podcasts in 100 days was more than just putting on a show for you. Hopefully you've been able to learn quite a bit from these episodes, but the part that excites me the most is due to my own challenge.

After years of talking about doing a podcast, I finally decided to actually talk on a podcast, and publish it.

Things have changed considerably since starting 3 months ago. Taking on this challenge was pretty difficult, but the reward you feel from actually accomplishing the goal. I didn't always feel like doing it, and there were a ton of complications.

It would have been easy to walk away when things went wrong, but I'm the type of person who says they're going to do something, and it just happens. But it's still a challenge.

Hear how I encourage myself to follow through with some discipline in order to complete tasks I wasn't even sure was possible.

Hear what's coming next and why it's important to have the discipline to complete you

Playa del Carmen Mexico is one of the better digital nomad hotspots, and is where I am now.

The wifi situation has not been ideal in my experience, but some people have found better connections.

Playa is about 15–20% more expensive than it was for me in Bangkok, but I've been eating out at fancier places, and doing new stuff since I only just arrived.

Listen to today's podcast to find out the rest of my thoughts on Playa and staying here long-term.

Eric goes deep into loads of tips on travel and flight hacking using credit card points and travel rewards programs on today's podcast.
