The Slacker Factor Podcast, Episode 40: Rebellious Squirrels
Episode 40: What is your career path? Does it involve being location specific, or can you be a digital nomad? Have you ever been to France? Has a rodent with a furry tail been spotted in your bedroom? Well, we talk about it, and interview our special guest, Kyle Del Bonis.
Meandering Rant: “Career Path” by Christian
Book Report: Interview with special guest, Kyle Del Bonis, digital nomad, couch surfer, life-as-a-social-experiment warrior.
Music Segment: Zaz, brought to you by Patty, featuring the song “Je Veux”
By the way, “Je Veux” means “I want” not “I see”, as mis-stated by Patty on the podcast. Apparently, both she and Christian should stop pretending they know French.
Links to stuff that Kyle spoke about:
- Couch Surfing Social Network
- Tim Ferris’ Blog
- The 4-Hour Work Week Book on Amazon
- Mint.com
- Kyle’s Blog: OneLifeStand.info
The Slacker Factor podcast is recommended for anyone who wants to know something about many things.
