154: Danny Flood - Connecting with What Gets You Excited

It seems more people today crave a location independent lifestyle than ever before. With the freedom to live wherever they want, live the life of their dreams and even run a business or two on the go. Today's guest has done just that, and we are unpacking his experiences and lessons learned along the way.

Danny Flood spent several years learning everything he could about the location-independent lifestyle: how to travel on any budget, maintain an income while on the go. Danny has started three separate location-independent businesses that he has successfully run remotely from various corners of the globe.

Danny is the founder of OpenWorld Magazine, he self-published 5 books in 2015 and is a location- independent entrepreneur originally from San Diego. He provided digital advertising consulting to clients in the US from Argentina, built a mobile applications company while in Thailand, and created an online membership website while living in Brazil.

By 30, Danny traveled to over 30 countries on four continents. He has crossed half of Southeast Asia on a motorcycle. He's rafted down the Amazon and climbed the tallest mountains of South America. He's rappelled off waterfalls in the jungle and sailed across the South China Sea. He's tangoed in the darkly-lit halls of San Telmo, Buenos Aires and fought in Thai boxing matches in Bangkok.

Through his many adventures around the world, he has been robbed, fallen from bridges and motorbikes, hugged exotic animals, and nearly died several times in pursuit of living his dream.
