The Well + Wild Podcast

We are back after our 6 month hiatus interviewing Luke Lawson from New Zealand! Luke has been living and working remotely in Bali for 1 year now. He left his childhood home at 16, moved to Australia at 18, and has since become a sales manager for a remote Solar Company after doing 6 years of door-to-door sales. Luke & I chat about his time living abroad in 3 different countries, his journey to discovering remote work through affiliate marketing, how he’s been able to run a successful sales team remotely, and gives lots of insightful tips & realistic advice on how to get the confidence to take some action into moving into a remote work position. If you are someone who has been interested in the digital nomad lifestyle, but are in need of the advice of how to force yourself out of your comfort zone in order to make those goals a reality, you won’t want to miss what Luke shares with us in this episode.

6.3million tourists visited Bali in 2019. Due to COVID19, there have been no tourists here for months. Tourism is a HUGE contributor to Bali's economy, with many Indonesians working in the sector. Businesses have been forced to close, many locals have lost jobs and suffered huge reductions in income with many struggling to feed their own families. A few kind expats and locals have taken the initiative to create Food Projects to help people in need. I decided to hire a local videographer, Imung, to show you the situation and one of the incredible initiatives run by the lovely Laura and Jeri.

We share stories from people working remotely from all over the world. Whether they are entrepreneurs, digital nomads, freelancers, people who have remote jobs or coworking spaces we are sharing their stories. Whether you’re already working remotely, thinking about it or even managing a distributed team, this podcast is for YOU.  About me (your host)...  Hey I'm Suzie, I spent 6 years working in corporate sales roles in London including the largest Investment bank in the world and a San Francisco fintech unicorn. Despite these being quite impressive jobs to a lot of people, I always felt like something was missing. The routine started to really get me down so I did a lot of soul searching until I decided to quit my job, start a podcast and move to Bali to explore the world of remote work.  What I discovered amazed me, there are entire communities of super smart and talented people working and living remotely, from all over the world, all doing different things and actually EXCITED about their work. I learned that many of them had left huge corporate jobs because they were restricted to staying in one place and had experienced similar things to me.  From then on I became obsessed with this way of working, it opens up so many opportunities for you to travel, spend more time with loved ones or just do more things you love all whilst being more productive and generally happier. It also levels the playing field for global talent which is something I think can really change the economic landscape, solve issues in overpopulated cities and ultimately contribute to reducing global inequality.  I want to help more people take advantage of this amazing way of working. Through my guest's stories, you will learn all about how they came to work remotely and the tips you can take into your own career and business.
