    This is such an important message right now. There is so much opportunity out there if you're looking for it. If you're not taking that first step now, with all the time we have QUARENTINED, you won't ever find a better time to do it.

      Expanding remote work is a double-edged sword to the overall economy. It’s for sure so threatening to local economies. 🧐
      If corporations are allowed to take advantage of the coronavirus crisis & expand their outsourcing practices, many local economies would get decimated in light speed. Just imagine the majority of Chicago employees are allowed to work from home in Dakota or even China 🥴 Local restaurants and small businesses in the city with suffer massively 🧐

    I think this video is both interesting and relatable but ultimately comes to the wrong solution. Most people don't have work that they can do remotely and this kind of lifestyle is still reserved for those of us who are privileged enough to attain a higher education or to have enough savings to take that leap. We should definitely reimagine how we work in the US, but be considerate to our blue collar workers too.

    Two hundred years ago, I suppose that it was normal for people to live either on their farms or above their shops. The Industrial Age brought people together into centralized factories or offices. I'm so glad to see the Information Age reversing this trend by rendering it increasingly feasible for people to work remotely.

I believe that I will be able to do so by generating income from multiple sources that I will be able to do from just aboug anywhere, or at least just about anywhere in the western hemisphere.

    Great talk Sam. Agree - each of us can learn new skills for FREE on Coursera and EDX -- and choose to live a life that has value for you. The other side to working and living remotely is breaking down the myth that buying things make people happy. The evidence, science, shows being with others and memory-making experiences are what make us happy.

      He is of the age where his parent's health insurance will cover him, in the US you can stay on your parent's health insurance covers you until you're 26. If you're living remotely or doing long-term travel, travel insurance isn't the way to go either. Also, I would be wary moving forward with any travel insurance companies at this point as they have all shown their true colors during the pandemic.

      imo "local small business" will be ok, except if it's price gouging and the service is bad. if we keep local communities heterogen and organic, you will spend less on unecessary loans like car and stuff and spend more on local economy. it may be smaller than usual economic flow but it is sustainable.

      The advancement in technology is still a positive though, so is working remotely. I think everything else just needs to adapt. The issue is the government needs to provide the support to small businesses instead of corporations.
