Today I want to talk to those who are truly not resonating with the country that you were born in and how you are not stuck and you CAN move abroad.

There is another way to live life. The is another way to not be part of a system that, that you were born into, but you didn't really actually have consent to. If you wanna be part of a different system, if you wanna go to a culture that has values that are more aligned with who you are as a person, you can.

But here's the thing, unless you are a multimillionaire or someone with a trust fund. You are gonna need an income if you wanna survive in another country. So how do you have an income in another culture? That is what I want to teach you today and what I teach in my academy, the Digital Nomad Life Academy.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I’m over this system.”
“I want to move abroad but don’t know how.”
“Is remote work or digital nomad life actually realistic?”

This episodes is for you.

We talk about today:

• What reverse culture shock actually means (and why it hits so hard).
• The hidden ways U.S. culture shapes your beliefs about safety, success, and “normal life.”
• Why you don’t have to stay in the U.S. — and how living abroad can realign your values.
• How to create an online business that funds your freedom
• Step-by-step ways to take action — even if you have zero experience with remote work.

Today we have on Evan Gage to talk about his journey of becoming a digital nomad and how he has exited the matrix and he is never going back. Evan started his career in medical sales chasing money, women and just really doing the whole corporate nine to five thing for many years.

Now we are recording this in Bali both as digital nomads and entrepreneurs who can live from literally anywhere, and work from anywhere. Today he has got a coaching business where he helps men in their healing journeys and host healing retreats.

So I thought that it would be awesome to have him on the podcast and you can hear firsthand his story of how he was able to go from nine to five to you decide, and far beyond.

We dive into:
-How Evan went from a 9–5 in sales to becoming a digital nomad entrepreneur
-The pivotal moment when he stopped ignoring his intuition and finally followed his heart
-Why meditation didn’t “work” at first—and how tuning into the heart changed everything
-The role of mentorship, community, and taking bold risks
-Why self-love and joy—not money—are the real keys to freedom and fulfillment

Today I sit down with my friend and entrepreneur Phoebe Kuhn- a marketing genius and seasoned digital nomad who’s been living and working around the globe for over six years. So, you maybe listening to this episode from your car on the way to work and listening to us record this from Bali as two digital nomads wondering- okay I want that lifestyle, but how?

Well today, Phoebe explains the Four Quadrants of Success from Employee to a freedom focused business owner. We also dive into how you can stop trading your time for money and gain true freedom in your life through entrepreneurship.

We dive into:

• Phoebe's journey from running a personal brand to stepping into a remote CMO role for a multi-seven-figure company in Dubai.
• The raw truth about being a digital nomad (and why your environment can make or break your success).
• The Four Quadrants of Success (Employee, Self-Employed, Entrepreneur, Investor) — and how each step moves you closer to true freedom.
• How to go from Employee to Freedom-Focused Digital Nomad — the mindset shifts, belief work, and practical actions that help you escape the 9-5 system.
• Why building a personal brand can open doors you never even knew existed.
• How Berlin vs. Bali shaped Phoebe's perspective on money, community, and creativity.

If you’ve been dreaming about remote work, craving the digital nomad lifestyle, or wondering how people actually get paid to travel, I'm excited that you landed on this episode.
