The RV Entrepreneur

Today I'm bringing you Jess Jorgensen, a full-time RVer and the founder of goRoam Tech. Her company helps solve the huge problem about getting reliable internet on the road, other than Starlink. They've put packages together that allows "at home" Internet speeds truly anywhere! It's not "cheap," but if your job depends on it, it's not out of reach either. I was surprised at how affordable it is! She also has some great tips for people with less connectivity needs.  Groomed into corporate IT from Telecom, Jess has helped large enterprises improve communication, security, and over-all quality of life for their staff through technology. She is now applying those skills to helping other RV'ers live a life of liberty by exploring while connected and truly working from anywhere! In this episode, we dive into her solution for Internet on the road, 5g and LTE connectivity and Starlink, so there's something to learn for everyone.  If you're going to work from the road, Internet connectivity is super important, so you'll want to check this out.

It's easy, as RVers, to get trapped in the cycle of feeling always on — especially when it comes to social media content creation. We're constantly being told to create reels, shorts, or TikTok videos. It's exhausting unless you know what to create and have a clearer plan of action when creating it. In this episode, I, Kimberly Crossland, share 7 types of social media content you can cycle through and create, so you can get off that hamster wheel faster and get back to relaxing sooner.  This episode features a snippet of the training that's available inside the Roadpreneur School, a course designed for RV Entrepreneurs and endorsed by RV Life and The RV Entrepreneur. Right now, the Roadpreneur School is open for enrollment through February 24. Join here: https://rvlife--roadpreneur.thrivecart.com/roadpreneur-school/ Once inside, you'll learn how to simplify your business and grow from the road — even when you're off grid.  Stay in touch with Kimberly between her monthly episodes here: Website: Roadpreneur.com Instagram: Instagram.com/Roadpreneur Facebook: Facebook.com/groups/roadpreneurpodcast Podcast: Roadpreneur.com/Podcast ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be sure to join the RVE community on Facebook: therventrepreneur.com/facebookgroup Connect with RVE on your favorite socials: therventrepreneur.com/connect Want to be a guest on the show?

Are you drawn to writing, photography, graphic design, or other forms of content creation? There's an opportunity in those mediums to earn a healthy income from your RV by helping others create content for their brands.  I, Kimberly Crossland, speak with Rachael Lyons of Next Destination Marketing in this episode. I met Rachael at the RV Entrepreneur Roundtable in Montrose, Colorado a few months back, and we instantly hit it off nerding out over written content, SEO, and more. In this episode, we unpack how you can make a living as a content creator without burning yourself out. We talk about building boundaries, various business models around content creation, and more.  Rachael Lyons is the Marketer & CEO behind Next Destination Marketing. Two years ago, she started her business from her RV. Today, she & her team create strategic website, social media, and email content to help businesses grow.  Rachael is a full-time RVer times two. She travels with her husband and dog in a truck camper and winters near the Orlando theme parks in their fifth wheel.  Enjoy this conversation!  ~ Kimberly Crossland CONNECT WITH RACHAEL: Website: https://nextdestinationmarketing.com Follow her travel journey on Instagram @thetasteforadventure Follow Next Destination Marketing on Instagram @nextdestinationmarketing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be sure to join the RVE community on Facebook: therventrepreneur.com/facebookgroup Connect with RVE on your favorite socials: therventrepreneur.com/connect Have a question?

On today’s episode I’m talking with Michael Andersen from Traveling Gatherings.   

I met Michael this fall at the RV Entrepreneur roundtable - he and his partner Andrea came out after being full-time on the road for only one month to boondock with us at The Campers Hub in Montrose Colorado. After participating in the roundtable and making what seem to be some stellar long term connections and friendships, Michael was motivated to create an online space where travelers could stay informed about local events and gatherings wherever in the country they were  - and that’s how traveling gatherings was born!    After 20+ years in corporate event planning, Michael Andersen decided it was time to say goodbye to office life and hello to full-time travel. He and his partner, Andrea, along with their fur baby Bruce Lee the Pug, sold all of their belongings, quit their director level careers, moved out of their Asheville, NC apartment, to live and travel in a renovated Class A, named Dolly.  Enjoy the episode and happy trails ~ Joshua Connect with Michael: Website: https://www.travelinggatherings.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travelinggatherings/
