#3 - Building nomad communities around the world /w Gonçalo Hall
In today's episode, I have the pleasure of hosting Gonçalo Hall, the CEO of Nomad X, one of the biggest nomad communities in the world with physical communities in Madeira, Cabo Verde, and Lisbon. He launched projects like the Remote Work Movement, the Future of Work Conference, Remote Portugal, and Remote Europe to help the movement grow and spread. The Digital Nomad Village is Gonçalo's most famous project, being developed in Ponta do Sol, Madeira Island, where he's building a community of digital nomads, focusing on positive local impact and deep human connection.
