Manage episode 489102410 series 3478295
Do you ever feel like Instagram is lying to you about remote work? You're not alone—and in this episode, we’re calling out the bullsh*t.
Jeff and Marisa dive headfirst into the myths, misconceptions, and subtle societal messages that try to dissuade people from living the digital nomad lifestyle.
These aren’t just misunderstandings—they’re propaganda, and we’re setting the record straight.
🚫 Is it true that you'll never get promoted unless you're in the office?
🚫 Do you really have to work from Bali or Lisbon to be a 'real' digital nomad?
🚫 Is remote work just for people without “serious” careers?
Spoiler: All of that is nonsense.
In this refreshingly honest episode, you’ll learn:
- Why some outdated companies still confuse "showing up" with doing good work
- What kinds of remote workers actually do get promoted (and how to become one)
- The surprisingly harmful advice people post about remote work on social media
- How to think critically about the content you're fed in the digital nomad space
You’ll also hear some hilarious back-and-forths, personal stories from our own nomadic journeys, and hot takes you won’t find on your algorithmically-curated feed.
Whether you're just dreaming about working from anywhere or already living the laptop lifestyle, this episode will help you cut through the noise and build a remote career that’s actually right for you.
🎧 Hit play if you’re tired of remote work clichés and ready for the real talk.
