Digital Nomad Academy is unlike any other online course available right now. DNA is not just a product, and it’s more than just a course. What sets us apart is our focus on direct mentorship, interaction, and participation.

They say that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with… and I sincerely believe in the transformative power of mentoring, MasterMinding, and collaborating closely with other people who have successfully achieved what you want to achieve, and with ambitious, like-minded individuals whose energies are also focused on the same goals.
Well, DNA is a virtual university where that’s exactly what you’ll get, where you’re going to have to invest considerable time and effort, but you’re going to come out on the other side with a great deal of practical knowledge, experience, relationships with a wide variety of people who have DONE IT successfully, and a massive support network.
Digital Nomad Academy was created after it became clear to me that there is NO central place, no institution educating or training people to create a successful mobile lifestyle.
For years, I have been on a mission to empower young professionals and entrepreneurs to follow an unconventional path, strive for excellence, and make a positive difference in the world by doing what they’re truly passionate about.
After five years of experimentation, trial and error, failure, and exploration, I’d finally made this work for myself, I’d helped several others make it work, and I’d found dozens, maybe hundreds, of extremely successful people who were doing the same.

I’ve learned such a tremendous amount along the way, distilled the best knowledge and resources, put it into practice, and made it work, and finally it hit me that I was in a position where I could help show other people the path—I could turn around and teach others the lessons (and loopholes) I have learned, and I could bring together many of my peers (who have developed much more impressive businesses than me, and are living even more exotic lifestyles!) to share their knowledge as well.
So I made it my job to build a place where we could all work together, to connect you with key people that I’ve learned from and that I look up to, and to give you the benefit of a six-year head start that I’ve had to learn through the school of hard knocks.
The digital nomad lifestyle ISN’T for everyone. But if you’re here reading this, it probably IS for you.
There are too many people all over the world who crave more freedom, more flexibility, more adventure, who are stuck at home or in the cubicle living vicariously reading OTHER people’s blogs.
We’re here to change that.
I’ve spent the last 6 years connecting with some incredible entrepreneurs around the world, and the highest-value benefit you get here inside the Academy is direct access to them:
Other products are content-focused (which is great, and we have plenty of that as well), whereas DNA is more about connecting you with the right people you need to become an A-player and build a sustainable, successful business.
If you’re committed to making the effort required, and ready to make a considerable investment in yourself & your business to change your life this year, then DNA is the place for you. And you’re going to learn from the best damned teachers there are.
Dan and his partners have a series of niche manufacturing businesses with offices in San Diego, the Philippines, and a plant in China, that’s set to bring in over $1 million this year. He’s now based in beautiful Bali, though he’s spent the last several years in the Philippines, where he’s become a leading authority on outsourcing. Meanwhile he co-hosts the #1 podcast for lifestyle designers and lifestyle entrepreneurs, The Lifestyle Business Podcast, and sponsors the Tropical MBA internship program.
Corbett started a major Silicon Valley tech company, raised $3 million in venture capital, had employees and the whole package, when he and his wife decided to take a six-month sabbatical to Mexico. Now he has built his own small business around two successful blogs, earning over six figures a year. They typically spend half the year at home in San Francisco and spend their summers either on the sunny Mexican coast or in Eastern Europe.
Nora had a successful financial planning practice in Canada when she realized her life’s dream to travel extensively around the world was passing her by. In 2006, she sold everything she owned to travel the world full-time and has already set foot in 15 countries while she works as a freelance travel writer. Her travels have taken her to Hawaii, across Asia, Australia, throughout Europe, New Zealand, and the Caribbean, and along the way she’s discovered the secrets to permanent full-time travel for less than $14,000 a year.
Adam, his wife Courtney, and their three year old daughter Milligan spent over a year living and traveling abroad, in Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand. They spent a year preparing for their trip, selling all of their possessions, and getting out of $18,000 in consumer debt, so Adam brings a lot of insight into personal finance and minimalism. This year, they’ve voyaged all around North America in a newly-purchased RV.
Chris is a British national who has lived for 11 years in the Philippines and built up an impressive outsourcing firm with over 300 employees, helping matchmake entrepreneurs and businesses with ideal virtual assistants and more. At the end of 2009, he decided he was done working 14-hour days, six days a week though. He set a 1-year goal to get out of the office, and worked his ass off to become a virtual CEO so he can work from home and spend time with his wife and young son.
Josh is an independent business professor, education activist, and author of The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business. After spending time as a Proctor & Gamble brand manager, and after reading thousands of books related to business, economics, psychology, communication, mathematics, science, and systems theory, Josh designed the Personal MBA business self-education program, which synthesizes the essentials of sound business practice into a comprehensive, world-class program.
Rolf is one of the most accomplished travel journalists of our time, having reported from over 60 countries for major venues like National Geographic Traveler, The New Yorker, Outside, and the Travel Channel. He is a high-profile proponent of independent travel. He authored the groundbreaking Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel, followed by Marco Polo Didn’t Go There, which details personal anecdotes from 10 years of traveling and travel writing. With his extensive experience traveling on a shoestring, Rolf shows how nearly anyone can achieve the dream of extended overseas travel.
Now one of the most high-profile marketers and bloggers online, at age 18, Glen left the UK when he was headhunted as a social media marketer for some major big brands like Hewlett Packard and Land Rover. At age 22, he sold perhaps the most high-profile personal development blog on the web (PluginID.com) for a very healthy sum, and he’s been traveling and living in South Africa, Amsterdam, and Asia since, funded by niche site income.
Chris and Cherie are two gen-X geeks and technology-enabled nomads, in other words, technomads. They started working remotely via cellular data, laptop and solar power in 2006, traveled cross-country full time across the US from 2007, spent five months out in the tropical US Virgin Islands on St. John, and now they’re back on the road again in a vintage GM bus. They earn their income through their full-fledged tech and software development company, working for clients and recently developing consumer iPhone applications.
Benny has been traveling for 9 years, during which time he’s picked up quite a lot of short-cuts, unconventional learning techniques, and a pretty good mentality that has hugely helped him to learn 8+ languages, and earn the title “the Irish Polyglot”. He’s had many jobs along the way, but in recent years made his way as a location independent freelance translator of technical documents, and now as a language coach and through selling his own language products.
Karol is a location-independent blogger who’s made a solid living with affiliate marketing for the last several years, traveled in Europe, India, Asia, and put out some great products of his own—about minimalism, how to stay productive, and the nomadic lifestyle—and gotten involved in some really fun adventures like a cross-country rollercoaster tour. He lives life on his own terms, where he wants to, he’s not afraid to be himself, and he’s on a mission to help 100 people achieve Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom.
Brian is the author of A Philosopher’s Notes, who has distilled the knowledge of all the greatest minds of history and created a handful of lucrative small lifestyle businesses with his wife that allowed them to live in luxury on the “Island of the Gods” on Bali, Indonesia, and now back home in Los Angeles, and that also has a positive mission at its heart and helps make the world a better place.
Sean quit his full time job and utilized a special Tropical MBA internship with Dan Andrews (one of our dedicated Faculty members, above) and a few location-independent side jobs to build his expertise in Search Engine Optimization and create an information product business of his own that affords him an incredible lifestyle, and now with the power of his blog, he’s networking his way around the world and Hacking the High Life!
Maneesh is a 24 year old Stanford dropout who found a way to completely build himself out of his business 100%. Since then, he’s been traveling the world for 3 years, living and learning the languages of five countries, starting NGOs, throwing DJ parties with Tim Ferriss, doing pushups, and finding all kinds of ways to take advantage of the system and basically be incredibly awesome.
Andy launched two online ventures at once. Sharing Travel Experiences is an online travel lifestyle magazine where he puts to use many of the skills he developed when he used to do a lot of writing for clients, and Travel Online Partners is a tourism marketing company that he has spent time working on while he’s been in Spain, Canada, and California in the last year. He is also an iPhone app developer and a published travel author.
The Soultravelers3 are a digital nomadic family into their fifth year of an open-ended world tour, who’ve been featured in Tim Ferriss’ second edition of The 4-Hour Workweek. They’ve raised their daughter to be tri-ligual in Chinese, Spanish and English, and they’ve now seen 38 countries on 5 continents, usually spending their winters in Malaysia and summers in Spain.
Hannah and Chris are a delightful couple from the UK who transformed their work into a location independent business together. Hannah took her background in psychology, organizational development, and counseling with fire & rescue service employees, and together with Chris’ background in systems, networking, web development, and IT they’ve build multiple online-based businesses that provide consulting, assessments, and other services for firefighter recruitment, promotions, and training.
That’s me! I’ve made my income primarily through my marketing & web development company for six years, and now spend much of my time building online communities like Untemplater and Digital Nomad Academy, all while living in Southern Thailand on the gorgeous Andaman Sea. I’ve traveled to over 25 countries, including all of North America, France, the UK, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Switzerland, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and more, and I’ve lived in Asia for nearly four years now.
