Meet Ray Blakney, 3rd<\/sup> Culture Kid and Remote Business Entrepreneur <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ray Blakney is probably like every other award-winning Filipino-American entrepreneur who grew up in Turkey and lives in Mexico that you know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is to say, he’s truly one of a kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He started his first business, with his wife as a business partner, in 2008. Since then he has bootstrapped multiple 6 and 7-figure remote businesses. Most of this was done from home in his superman pyjamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He and his businesses have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, The Boston Globe and other top publications. Ray has also been a speaker at multiple conferences around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of his businesses include Live Lingua<\/a> (one of the top online language schools), Twiducate<\/a> (a social network for schools with over 200k registered users, and Podcast Hawk<\/a> (an SAAS product that helps you get booked on podcasts on auto-pilot).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is also host of one of the top language learning podcasts on iTunes called Learn Spanish with Live Lingua<\/a>, releasing a new episode daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he is not perusing another wild business idea, he likes to spend time with his wife, son and dog at their house in Quer\u00e9taro, Mexico and helping other entrepreneurs create location independent <\/a>online businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
