In this short episode I give an update and explain why I havent done a podcast in awhile, but be assured that the podcast is not dead! Tune in if you want to hear a semi-drunk me give a life update followed by a 15 minute stream-of-consciounsess monologue that ranges from the Swiss housing market, relationships, war, and staying positive in a world that seems to headed for a disastrous train wreck.

Stuart is a bright guy. We studied abroad together in Sevilla, Spain via the University of North Carolina before going off on separate paths. Stuart graduated from Columbia University with a law degree before joining the U.S. Air Force as a JAG officer (Judge Advocate General). He worked in JAG for several years before moving onto Veterans Affairs (VA), where he handles legal issues surrounding veterans’ benefits. He also spent a year cleaning up his home town of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. We talk at length about his time at JAG and involvement in military sexual misconduct cases. Of course we also veer off course onto other interesting topics. Enjoy! Show notes: MAPS Science and Non Duality The post #10: JAG-ing off with Stuart Anderson appeared first on Foreign by Nature.

On this episode I am joined by Phil Sejalon, CEO and co-founder of Belinguo AG, a tech startup based in Zurich, Switzerland. Phil considers himself a global citizen, which is not surprising when you consider that he speaks over 15 languages and has worked for finance and consulting companies in about 10 different countries. Phil was living the corporate high life on an expatriate package in Hong Kong when in 2007 he decided to give up the corporate world and become an entrepreneur. We talk about his amazing journey and important lessons learned along the way. The post E06: Global Citizen- and Entrepreneurship appeared first on Foreign by Nature.

I had a conversation with my old vagabonding friend Tim whom I met at university back in 2001 or so. Tim is a vagabonder, poet, and advocate for a more spiritual, co-creative existence that is based around permaculture and intentional communities. We go pretty deep in this one, so relax and enjoy.

Romen Barua came to Japan in 2005 on the JET Programme and worked two years in Tottori Prefecture before moving to Tokyo. After a time of uncertainty he became a successful entrepreneur and partner in a recruitment consultancy firm in the IT sector. He has also developed a successful platform for IT startups and runs his own AirBnB business on top of everything else. His firm is currently set to release “Flow”, a comprehensive psychometric testing program, due for release in early 2017.
