HTE 226: The Reluctant Path to Becoming an Entrepreneur | Paul Kortman

My guest today is a digital marketer, dad, self-proclaimed nerd, traveler, and an entrepreneur. After 12 years in IT, my guest decided he had enough of punching a clock every day. He decided to try and make the move to working remotely one day per week, but his boss was having none of it. So, he quit. He made the natural move from a steady job to working as a consultant. This lead him further into consulting and also brought him into product creation when he co-founded Bulko and ThingShare. For the past year and a half, my guest has been traveling in an RV with his four children and building a community around NomadTogether, which equips digital nomads, location independent couples, and families to live a freedom based lifestyle. Now, let’s hack… Paul Kortman.
