Today we have the pleasure of talking with a NEW HOST for the RVE Podcast: Jim Nelson!
 Jim Nelson and his wife Rene Agredano have been full-time RVing and working from their fifth wheel home office since hitting the road in early 2007 with their dog Jerry after he lost a leg to cancer. They planned and budgeted for a year off, giving their Chief Fun Officer the road trip of a lifetime. Sharing their own adventures at LiveWorkDream.com, Jerry started creating a following of his own at Tripawds.com. Jerry then loved life on three legs for two years. They soon discovered workamping to help support their nomadic lifestyle. And since then they have grown Tripawds into a full-time labor of love. And their Tripawds Foundation now hosts largest support community for amputee pets and their people. Jim and Rene tell the whole story of why they hit the road and how they grew the Tripawds niche community in their book, Be More Dog: Learning to Live in the Now. They share more helpful tips for working from the road for RVers and digital nomads in their comprehensive workamping guide and fill-time RVing handbook, Income Anywhere! Connect with Jim:
