David speaks with Sondre Rasch, Co-founder and CEO of SafetyWing, a global social safety net for remote workers and companies.
A natural entrepreneur, Sondre started selling server space in his early teens whilst playing MMORPGs. While most kids were focused on high school, at 14 he was already planning to build a Silicon Valley company, something he'd eventually do twice as a Y Combinator founder with Superside and later SafetyWing.
Sondre used his own problems as a digital nomad to create solutions that now help thousands of people who want the freedom to work from anywhere.
They talked about:
🏙️ Why cities are now competing for nomads
🌐 The Rise of Internet Countries
🌱 How Reddit Keeps Subcultures Alive
🚀 How work is becoming borderless, not just remote
🛡️ Building safety nets for nomads (SafetyWing)
This is just one part of a longer conversation, and it's the third part. You can listen to the earlier episode here:

David speaks with Neville Medhora, an expert copywriter, best-selling author of "This book will teach you how to write better", and founder of Copywriting Course and SwipeFile.com.
Neville never set out to be a copywriter - it just kind of happened. He started out messing around with online businesses with his friends in the 2000s, got hooked on findings ways to optimise sales, and realised that the right words could make people take action. In this episode, Neville shares some of his wildest experiments (including trying out homelessness) and his parents reaction, how he almost got himself and Noah Kagan in trouble with Mark Zuckerberg, and the opportunities that AI can bring you - if you are paying attention now.
We talked about:
🚀 How tackling challenges helps you grow in life and business
🧠 Why having unstructured time is key for big, creative ideas
🔄 Whether a truly stable career path even exists
💰 The power of taking risks and trying new things
🔍 How being transparent in marketing builds trust that lasts

David speaks with Michael Ashcroft, a writer and Alexander Technique teacher who previously spent 10 years consulting on clean energy innovation.
A lot of Michael's work centres around helping people expand their awareness. He's written several essays and posts I've loved, particularly about the concept of grinding, and how paying attention to our awareness can help us maximise our creativity, productivity, posture and physical engagement.
We talked about:
🔄 Corporate to Self-Employment – Freedom, ambition & avoiding burnout
🤔 Mindset & Decisions – Priorities, big choices & challenges
🧠 Awareness & Focus – Attention, non-fixation & efficiency
🎨 Productivity & Structure – Creativity, discipline & idea management
📝 Writing & Self-Discovery – Process, organising & personal growth
🥷🏽 Missionary vs. Mercenary – Mindset & long-term fulfilment
