Growing up in the United States as an immigrant kid, his Nigerian roots (ie: parents!) informed his initial career choice, but he knew it wasn&#8217;t for him. We continue on to chat about things like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How he got started as an entrepreneur in San Diego and Los Angeles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How he discovered his talent as a community builder and networking facilitator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>His desire to take these talents to the road so he could travel, despite having great success in San Diego.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How he spent his first two years as a digital nomad as a broke <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/the-creative-guide-to-free-or-cheap-accommodation\/\">couchsurfer<\/a> while he learned the ropes of running an online business!&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Building an Online Career&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ol\u00famid\u00e9 jokes that spending two years couchsurfing is <em>not<\/em> the way to become a digital nomad! (More on this shortly). But he did what he had to do while learning the ropes of being an online entrepreneur. Here&#8217;s how he did it:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He leveraged his travels to reach out to people locally in person, and connect them with opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He fearlessly sent video DMs on Instagram and Twitter \u2013 and got responses!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He learned how to find common ground that greases the wheels for connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He tells the story of reaching out to an Olympian with a cold video DM and ended up creating a huge brand campaign that dropped during the Tokyo Olympics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The importance of being willing to reach out to absolutely anybody, and also to not be afraid of rejection.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Digital Nomad Summit and Digital Nomad Week<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After attaining success as an online entrepreneur and making inroads in the digital nomad community, Ol\u00famid\u00e9 turned his attention towards helping digital nomads connect and collaborate. Thus, Digital Nomad Summit was born. Here&#8217;s more on how and why he did this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The importance of connection as a digital nomad \u2013 both in person and online (<em>Nora&#8217;s Note: ultimately my own lack of this kind of community ultimately <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/my-epic-search-for-a-home-base\/\"><em>led to me burning out<\/em><\/a><em>).<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How the pandemic required him to convert a formerly in-person conference to a virtual summit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The advantages of a virtual summit, including bringing amazing talent and experts who wouldn&#8217;t have been able to attend in person.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What differentiates Digital Nomad Week from other summits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The remote work revolution, and how <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3D9mJkT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital Nomad Week<\/a> will serve new remote workers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The importance of personal development in events like Digital Nomad Week; because the tools to learn the practical stuff are available everywhere. It&#8217;s the intangible personal growth and connections that will move the needle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/top-digital-nomad-conferences\/\">Top Digital Nomad Conferences to Attend<\/a><\/em><\/strong><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Birth of Globoversity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ol\u00famid\u00e9 is quite vocal about how living as a digital nomad on $5\/day is <em>not<\/em> the epitome of success in this lifestyle! And he wants to show existing and aspiring digital nomads how to live and run their online careers at a high level. Throw in a pandemic, and Globoversity was born. More on this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connecting at conferences is good, but without a support system the learnings fall to the wayside; Globoversity is designed to continue the momentum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He is creating world-class content and education for digital nomads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s a combination of online learning plus community.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opportunities for community members to share their skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating a sustainable long-term community available at a high level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2022 Note: Globoversity has been discontinued. <br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital Nomad Visas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the pandemic, digital nomads fell into a giant grey area from a visa perspective, so they traveled on tourist visas. We weren&#8217;t working locally at jobs that could be done by that country&#8217;s citizens, so we didn&#8217;t need a work visa. And we weren&#8217;t doing business with anybody in the country, so we didn&#8217;t need a business visa. And let&#8217;s get it right: digital nomads generally earn money in foreign currencies and spend that money in the countries they are visiting \u2013 seems like a win-win for everybody! (Except for the $5\/day digital nomads who aren&#8217;t particularly contributing to the local economy, as Ol\u00famid\u00e9 would rightly point out). So, I for one had no qualms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/12-truths-about-travel-and-life\/\">about traveling<\/a> on tourist visas as a digital nomad, especially since no other appropriate visa was available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the pandemic, the world has clued in to the number of people who now work remotely, and we have a \u201cdigital nomad revolution\u201d on our hands! Dozens of countries are now working hard to attract remote workers with \u201cdigital nomad visas\u201d, and Ol\u00famid\u00e9 is a big advocate. We discuss:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The end of \u201cvisa runs\u201d (as many digital nomads have done in the past to renew tourist visas).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How his digital nomad visa advocacy started in Bali a few years ago, and how it&#8217;s developing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How he is imploring governments to make digital nomad visas open to everybody, including people from developing countries with passports that make it difficult to travel but who also have prosperous remote careers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The challenges with current remote work visas and digital nomad visas and their restrictions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Balancing the need for achievable standards (to keep out $5\/day digital nomads who can&#8217;t contribute to the country&#8217;s economy) against elitist requirements (like to deposit $100k into a local bank account).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How it will soon become open season for digital nomads; countries will start competing for our \u201cbusiness\u201d!&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How the Digital Nomad Community Could Change the World&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With such a multi-cultural upbringing, I was curious how his time in Nigeria, England, and the United States has informed his life and world view. It was a fascinating way to sum up and build on everything we had discussed. We hit on things like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The irony of the terms \u201cimmigrant\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/the-irony-of-expat-life-pros-and-cons\/\">expat<\/a>\u201d and how they&#8217;re used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discrimination, racism, and hate are all behaviours that are ingrained at an early age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working on his own self-development, Ol\u00famid\u00e9 realized some of his own childhood beliefs weren&#8217;t serving him.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your thoughts change the world around you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The idea that culture is not food\/clothes\/architecture, but rather culture is a mindset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How travel can change the cultural paradigm that each of us is born with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How the digital nomad \/ global citizen community might actually be the key to solving some of these challenges of discrimination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember \u2013 this is just a summary of what Ol\u00famid\u00e9 and I discussed! He says all this and more so much better in person. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MKpSJR_VeAw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Watch our chat
