Do people ever ask you for advice? Have you been through any unique experiences? Do you like helping people? Have you ever considered becoming a coach?
Today's guest on the Art of Adventure podcast has been a location independent life coach since 1998, before it was cool to be a digital nomad. I sat down with him at his villa here in Bali to record an epic two part episode to go through all the steps to first become a coach (Part I) and then start making money while you sleep (part II).
