Fire your Boss, Build a Sustainable
Web-Based Business
of Your Own, and Live Anywhere You Want in Just 1 Year!

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.

Join us on the inside and you’ll have your own Private Panel of Expert Advisors – all Hugely Successful Lifestyle Business Owners, Digital Nomads, and Location-Independent Professionals – who will hold you by the hand as you build an ultramobile business that lets you travel, work, and live anywhere.

Digital Nomad Academy Members Dashboard

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.

The tools I’ve used to build a location-independent business and an international network of friends and colleagues are also available to you. Now it’s my turn to take you by the hand and introduce you to my world.

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.

digital nomad location independent lifestyle business

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.

“We’ve had the opportunity to converse with people who are successfully doing what we want to do, who because Cody drugged them or something are literally telling us their secrets and giving us DNA student access to resources NOBODY has access to!”
Daniel, DNA Student, New York
“I turned in my 2 week notice today. A huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. … next month I embark on a 3 month solo journey around the world! …I’ll be exploring all over Europe and Asia.”
Nate, DNA Student, Baltimore
“We just got back from Spain, and we found a few places in the south of Spain which I see ourselves using as a base for our European travels. The plan is to start off in Europe for a couple of years, then move on to Asia and then Latin America.”
Violeta, DNA Student, New York

After over a year of research, testing, coaching over one hundred early adopter students, and seeing several success stories, Digital Nomad Academy has finally opened its doors again! Keep reading to learn how you can join us…

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:

  • You get private access to regular LIVE mentorship calls with a wide variety of exceptional, knowledgable professionals who you can speak with directly
  • You also have exclusive membership in a thriving community of like-minded people who are all learning and developing businesses alongside you

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.

What Our Students Say

Here’s some real customer feedback. These are just a Few of the Things our Members are Saying About their Experience in the Program Already:

(Before DNA, Rodrigo was making only $600 a month at his full-time job in El Salvador)

“Since our last call, I’ve been really productive—I’ve finished 2 separate projects in the last week and a half, and I just locked down another $6,000 job too!”
–Adam, DNA Student, Buffalo NY
“I have my first client… I also have my first affiliate marketing product! … My husband is understandably nervous about my crazy plan. So when I said I wanted to quit in August, he nominated August 31 as the day I quit. … So we’re going to hit Chiang Mai in September, in time for my my birthday!”
–Barbara Adam, TheDropoutDiaries.com, Singapore (now Chiang Mai!)
“…the calls are awesome! My first call was with Josh Kaufman… A best selling author, I got to spend an hour with him and ask him anything I wanted! That blew my mind because I was literally in the middle of his book The Personal MBA. How much do you think his time is worth? We’ve had the opportunity to converse with people who are successfully doing what we want to do, who because Cody drugged them or something are literally telling us their secrets and giving us access to resources NOBODY has access to!”
–Dan, DNA Student, New York
“The 1 Year Roadmap has really enabled me to sky rocket with a lot of my goals… I feel like having milestones, deadlines & small goals leading me to them is helping me reach my goals faster and it’s holding me accountable. Being in DNA I feel a lot more focused, and with that focus I have been able to spread my reach of helping others… I just wanted to thank you for being a guiding light and supportive force in my life. By supporting one individual, you’re supporting many individuals. The focus and energy that I get from the DNA community, from Thrilling Heroics & from you, that impacts what I create and how I help others.”
–Emelina Minero, CommunityBucketList.com, California
“I’m 3 weeks away from moving to a little village in France, where I will write the first draft of my book (Fiction)”
–Nicolai, DNA Student, Denmark
“I really enjoyed Adam’s call. Within 10 minutes he revealed exactly how he turned over $150,000 and made a $60,000+ profit out of it and gave away $10,000 to charity. Wow, great info. I would have woken up at any time of the day to ask him that question how he did that!”
–Rich, DNA Student, Bangkok
“The DNA has been of great value so far: the course material, the calls and the connections with fellow students.”
–Maarten, DNA Student, Amsterdam
“[DNA] is one of the ONLY places one can get an MBA 2.0, so to speak. I just bought an ebook for 17 dollars about supposedly how to market online, it SUCKED. I just couldn’t take it anymore, so much crap out there, all hype and no substance.”
–Elizabeth, DNA Student, Thailand
“Cody, thanks for all your help! DNA is an amazing site with amazing people. I am honored to be a part of it.”
–Timothy Juliussen, US Serviceman, California
“Damn, Cody! You’ve really done some amazing work on Digital Nomad Academy. I love it… This rocks!”

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
—Steve Jobs
