On this episode, Matt passes the mic and, instead of interviewing the guest himself, he publishes an episode of the “Badass Digital Nomads” podcast, where Kristin Wilson interviews Erick Prince. Erick starts off talking about his chosen base of Bangkok Thailand, describes his lifestyle there, and explains why it is his favorite city in the world. He then discusses digital nomadism as a lifestyle, a mindset, and explains the value of Black Americans having the opportunity to live outside the U.S. Kristin and Erick reflect on the impact of the digital nomad movement and the ways in which living outside your home country can facilitate a re-evaluation of your world view. Erick then shares his experience growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, developing his interest in travel, joining the U.S. Air Force, and traveling the world with the U.S. military. He reflects on his lessons and experiences in the military, opens up about why he chose to leave the military, and explains why he is now so passionate about his content creation, playing a positive role in the world, and simply making other people happy.
