"In a good startup, there are no rules"-Fabian Dittrich
Fabian Dittrich was supposed to be one of my co speakers at the Travel Storytelling Festival, but he had some car trouble in Spain... You never know what is going to happen when you run your company out of a Land Rover all over the world!
Luckily, I was able to catch up with Fabian in Berlin for this interview because he has a really cool story.
He calls his business Helpando.it a nomad company, and spent six months running the business with his employee out of a Land Rover all across South America.
Along the way he created a video storytelling project called Startup Diaries to discover new ways of working around the continent.
His love of overland trips started when he used to drive vehicles all across Africa from Europe and sell them when he got to his final destination.
This is a great episode if you want help thinking outside the box with how and where to run your business, or if you want to go on a epic driving adventure.
What you will learn in this episode:
-How Fabian took his company on the road in South America for 6 months
-What he learned by making startup diaries - a video series about alternative working models in South America
-How to be uber efficient with your time by using computer shortcuts
-How to drive cars to Africa and sell them to finance your trip
-The story of how Fabian played guitar for the police
-How to get out of traffic tickets anywhere in the world
-The tools you need to run a nomad company
Quotes:
