Ep.65 | From Dropshipping to Stoicism, Behind The Scenes of The Digital Nomad Lifestyle, with Brendan Hogle, Business Development Consultant

 

We recorded this episode before finding the golden thread of this podcast: (combining the inner & outer work to build a business & life that you love) and not ironically, this convo was so perfectly aligned.

In the first half of the episode we dive heavily into the dropshipping world, with Brendan providing such great information (including industry secrets 😉), and then we take a step back and talk about wider philosophies related to stoicism, community building, and traveling the world as a digital nomad.

This conversation is filled with so much inspiration, and Brendan is a beautiful example that YOU get to build a business that supports the lifestyle that you’re truly craving for yourself.

We hope you enjoy! ☺️

In this episode, we explore:

➡️ What actually is dropshipping?

➡️ How to find lucrative dropshipping products

➡️ Industry “secrets” for streamlining & getting customer service in place 

➡️ Marketing that works for dropshipping

➡️ Community building based on the space you’re craving 

➡️ The downside & hardships of being a digital nomad  

➡️ Building routines & consistency from “anchor points” not necessarily the same schedule 

➡️ What is Stoicism & how Brendan uses it to ground him throughout his journey of building a life that feels uniquely perfect for him 

➡️ Lessons from reading the Daily Stoic 

➡️ Insights into growing together as a couple in a relationship
