What exactly is a “digital nomad?”

Here’s one potential definition:

Explorer, Traffic & Website Builder, Always Striving to Be & Do Better. Driven by continuous exploration. Personally, professionally, and as a full-time nomad. At home in Canada & the USA but consider myself a citizen of the world.

That’s the headline and description from one of our member profiles inside of the Unemployable Initiative — a member who certainly considers herself to be a digital nomad.

It’s a concept we’ve discussed here on the 7-Figure Small podcast. And we’ve certainly discussed it over at Future Freedom. In fact, if you go to futurefreedom.com and register for the free email course, one of the lessons you’ll receive is about how to “unretire” and travel the world.

But my hunch is that while many folks striving to build a personal enterprise are intrigued by the idea of being a digital nomad, it’s a concept that remains pretty abstract in most people’s minds.

It’s aspirational, and it makes for compelling social media posts, but it’s something “other” people do and that may actually feel unattainable … until you are actually out there being a citizen of the world yourself.

So this week, with Brian headed off for a retreat in Peru, I (Jerod) take the opportunity to dig into what it’s really like to be a digital nomad, while also shining a light on one of our most consistent and helpful contributors in the Unemployable Initiative — our private, paid education community for unemployables across the globe, whether firmly grounded in one location like me, or constantly on the go, like this week’s guest.

And yes, as you might have guessed, our guest is the person whose profile description is listed above: Pat Williams, the founder of CyberCletch, a boutique web design and digital marketing agency that she runs from, well, anywhere.

We discuss:

• Pat's life and career arc that led to her current digital nomad setup
• The source of her wanderlust
• The benefits of life on the road with a location-independent business
• The challenges of life on the road with a location-independent business
• The sources of support and connection that help Pat along the way
• Her advice for anyone considering making a similar career and life shift
• The stories that encapsulate what the digital nomad life is like

And much more.
