Thu, 23 May 2013 08:49:32 +0000 en-US hourly 1Chris and Nico have been fellow hobos since 2011 and with almost 10 years of experience running a business on the road they talk about mindset, attitude and what it takes to balance life, work, travel and shabby trousers. They have built a SaaS company with tens of thousands of users, employees across three continents, all the while working from cafes, hotel lobbies and airport lounges. With interviewing other hobo CEOs and digital nomads, they hope to uncover more about the ups and downs of the remote lifestyle, thinking different and the key ingredients of success.
