Being a Digital Nomad with Amin Astaneh (Episode 122)

Can you combine your career with personal adventure? What would it be like to live in a truck and travel the country while working remotely?

This week I'm joined again by SRE & DevOps legend Amin Astaneh in one of the most human interviews I've ever done. We explore...

💉 The impact of the post-Covid layoffs
🛻 The logistics of living in a mobile home
💥 Staring a consultancy
❤️ The impact of the nomad lifestyle on relationships
🧸 Being woken up by a giant black bear

...and much more.
