ON THIS EPISODE

Matt sits down with Daniel Thompson, co-founder and CEO of NOMA Collective, to trace the unlikely path from growing up on tour with a famous rock band to building global communities for remote workers and families. Daniel reflects on childhood travel, and shares incredible stories from underground music scenes in London and Buenos Aires, his life the role of fear in holding people back from life-changing journeys, and how travel, when done intentionally, can expand empathy, creativity, and freedom. Along the way, he shares deeply personal stories about identity, parenthood, cross-cultural relationships, and why creating “safe spaces” for people to come together has been the through-line of his entire life and work.
