Eran's Business Story to become a Digital Nomad: Podcast with Christa Romano

Christa Romero and I met several years ago online, on my very first online course bundle! At the time, she was already going viral on TikTok as a Digital Nomad, and I was relatively in the early stages of my business, although already making money as a freelancer. I interviewed her for a podcast on my channel and few years later we met again in a Digital Nomad Conference in Bulgaria (Bansko), and then we met again on the Nomad Cruise going from Spain to Brazil (end of 2023). Finally, in the middle of 2024, I moved to Bali as a Digital Nomad (Christa already settled in Bali years ago for the most part as her home base - because it's awesome). That's when we really had our first real in-person conversation where we exchanged our stories in great detail and she invited me on her podcast. The interview was just so good. We did it in a professional studio in Bali, and even though I am totally biased... it was truly a great interview. Christa was a great host and interviewer, and I think we were able to create a podcast episode that is going to add value to people's lives for years to come. One thing Christa and I have in common is our true belief that being a service provider is the most legitimate way for any beginner to start a business online. This is also why I wanted to share with you her Digital Nomad Lifestyle Academy Course: https://eran.link/christa I very rarely link other people's courses, especially not courses I have not taken myself. But since Christa's philosophy on starting a business online resonates with me, I wanted to share it: https://eran.link/christa This particular podcast episode was also shared on Christa's Podcast which is available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5yyQwp4O0XybGgiA6A2kmC In this episode, we dive into the transformative journey of building a thriving digital nomad lifestyle.
