This is such an important message right now. There is so much opportunity out there if you're looking for it. If you're not taking that first step now, with all the time we have QUARENTINED, you won't ever find a better time to do it.
Expanding remote work is a double-edged sword to the overall economy. It’s for sure so threatening to local economies. 🧐 If corporations are allowed to take advantage of the coronavirus crisis & expand their outsourcing practices, many local economies would get decimated in light speed. Just imagine the majority of Chicago employees are allowed to work from home in Dakota or even China 🥴 Local restaurants and small businesses in the city with suffer massively 🧐
I think this video is both interesting and relatable but ultimately comes to the wrong solution. Most people don't have work that they can do remotely and this kind of lifestyle is still reserved for those of us who are privileged enough to attain a higher education or to have enough savings to take that leap. We should definitely reimagine how we work in the US, but be considerate to our blue collar workers too.
@@treborironwolfe978 I wish you the best and a healthy future. Look up Robotic Process Automation. Totally exploding field with lots of training online. You might like it. Best of luck to you!
Yes, i agreed totally, especially it's limited to a certain jobs - you will be better off creating efficient communities around the world where anyone can travel and be a part of the community where everyone is taken care of if each of us is willing to be a part of it.
I love my profession, but my biggest dream is to work 20 or 30 hours a week. I feel exactly like you said, that we need this time to activate our curiosity, to feel alive and than the life gets a real meaning... Loved the video!
Two hundred years ago, I suppose that it was normal for people to live either on their farms or above their shops. The Industrial Age brought people together into centralized factories or offices. I'm so glad to see the Information Age reversing this trend by rendering it increasingly feasible for people to work remotely.
Some well-graduated American kid gave up lucrative job and went to somewhere in Asia and then gave a TED speech talking about "exiting travel-working life". Speaking of being "typical".
I lived in Costa Rica for 9 1/2 years before moving back to the US (Chicago) 2 1/2 years ago. I plan on moving back to Costa Rica during the middle of next year. I believe that I will be able to do so by generating income from multiple sources that I will be able to do from just aboug anywhere, or at least just about anywhere in the western hemisphere.
Great talk Sam. Agree - each of us can learn new skills for FREE on Coursera and EDX -- and choose to live a life that has value for you. The other side to working and living remotely is breaking down the myth that buying things make people happy. The evidence, science, shows being with others and memory-making experiences are what make us happy.
Wow, so my warehouse manager buddy just needs to learn to code or figure out how to move all the skills he gained over the past 20yrs online. Sounds like a plan!
He is of the age where his parent's health insurance will cover him, in the US you can stay on your parent's health insurance covers you until you're 26. If you're living remotely or doing long-term travel, travel insurance isn't the way to go either. Also, I would be wary moving forward with any travel insurance companies at this point as they have all shown their true colors during the pandemic.
Expanding remote work is a double-edged sword to the overall economy. It’s for sure so threatening to local economies. 🧐 If corporations are allowed to take advantage of the coronavirus crisis & expand their outsourcing practices, many local economies would get decimated in light speed. Just imagine the majority of Chicago employees are allowed to work from home in Dakota or even China 🥴 Local restaurants and small businesses in the city with suffer massively 🧐
On the other hand, things are falling apart at light speed right now.. and this offers some new flexibility of choice once we start re-assembling the economy and our lives.
imo "local small business" will be ok, except if it's price gouging and the service is bad. if we keep local communities heterogen and organic, you will spend less on unecessary loans like car and stuff and spend more on local economy. it may be smaller than usual economic flow but it is sustainable.

Duran ok that i understand actually. I see this happening where i live. I still think small businesses still suffer because malls & online shopping exists. It’s tough when technology is advancing :( The advancement in technology is still a positive though, so is working remotely. I think everything else just needs to adapt. The issue is the government needs to provide the support to small businesses instead of corporations.
This is not TED worthy. He didn't say anything new, and I am perplexed that people genuinely don't see any trouble of making use of cheeper countries. Working in rich countries and using your privilege, and living cheaply in poor countries. I mean, sure, lots of people do this. But shame on you to brag about it. Damn, makes me want to puke.
The most Profound thing you can and should do, in your 20's or Older, is Discover and Understand the DIFFERENCE, between the human Primate and "LIFE, The Real Self", then Discover "The Processing System of LIFE", its Construct, Workings, and Processing Language.... Learn about "Video Interfaces" which can access "The Processing System of LIFE", and HOW to "Write" to "The Processing System of LIFE".
Sounds cool But it might work only for a privileged minority And based on the existence of inequality between countries I respect you I respect your challenging choice But it cannot be for anybody Somebody has still to work in factories and farms Thanks
A single example isn't how it happens to all... Happy for you, but just got the lucky chance. What happens when tech changes too fast? 10 hours billed but 40 hours to learn the lastest technologies.... I'm a computer scientists since long, but I know how fast the world changes and you "loose time" just just by trying to be on the edche or close to the best. He is too young to be sure he's strategie are the best for the next 20/30 yers P.S. he talks about working from home.... having 2 collegues who often need phone talks, in the open-space I could grasp most of the problems just by beeing there. Now (covid) I need to ask for a summary that mostly that is too short. I undesrstand remote work is the "future" but I don't beleive that much in it
Great Talk! I turned my 30 hr/week office job into a remote job before covid. Best thing I ever did!
Impeccable timing lol
"If you faithfully follow your curiosity, it might lead you to your passion". Wow thanks for that! This video couldn't be released at a better time.
Search for Elizabeth Gilbert her speech about curiosity. Thats his inspiration. And that speech is a refreshing take on work and passion

I thought this was going to be about working from home.
me too lol
The great thing is that Home is part of "anywhere in the world", so it still applies... AND opens up a lot more possibilities once the plague is over.
No. Remote work and work-from-home are VERY DIFFERENT. His description is spot-on for *remote work*.
Yes you are Right..I think we need a platform which 0% commission platform for freelancers
@@yanskimctall how it is different?

Absolutely agree with that. Since I discovered digital nomads it began my dreAm.
I would do anything to achieve it.

This is really insightful and shows it's possible to work from remote places.
Remote work really empowering the world 🌏...

Buy a travel insurance before you leave your country of residence.

Ok so you are assuming that only outside people live in Chicago, there are no indigenous Chicago based who might be living in Seattle
imo "local small business" will be ok, except if it's price gouging and the service is bad. if we keep local communities heterogen and organic, you will spend less on unecessary loans like car and stuff and spend more on local economy. it may be smaller than usual economic flow but it is sustainable.

Thanks!!!
Anyway it is clear that our present job model does not work at all anymore
Ohh good. Really like me
This is easy for an American who travels the world visa free
This is such a valid point. It's a privilege to have a passport that allows you easily move between borders.
It's a bore working on house. Not unless i have gaming chair and airconditioned room dem boi
A pandemic also helps of you want to work remotely 😋
FACT:
Unregulated remote works are so dangerous to local economies.
Duran can you elaborate or at least point us to some kind of source?

stop having kids, we are all confused
isn't this topic way too outdated and the content very generic ...

But it might work only for a privileged minority
And based on the existence of inequality between countries
