Lesson 35: Transitioning from Manual Labor to Working Online with Podcast Producer Ian Robinson
When Ian Robinson set out to explore the world from his hometown of Reno, Nevada, he ended up taking jobs that required a lot of hard physical labor. This included picking fruit and working on a cattle ranch. Ian fell in love with travel and wanted to keep going after he also fell in love with a girl in Australia. But the short-term visas that he could get in other countries prevented him from having many options except these tough physical jobs. Through hard work and sheer determination, Ian transitioned to a life working online. Suddenly he no longer had to worry about the weather or a limit to his paycheck. His story seems incredibly relevant right now.
As you will hear in the interview, Ian was the host of the first podcast that I ever listened to. And by chance, he was on the same Nomad Cruise with me back in November 2019. So I felt lucky to have the chance to speak with him. I hope you enjoy my interview with Ian and get inspired to make more or even 100% of your future income online.
