#126 - How to be a digital nomad | Sam Corcos, Dr. Casey Means, Mike Haney, and Steph Coates

When you work at a remote company, you have the unique option to be a digital nomad. Since Levels is a fully remote and async startup, our teammates have the option to travel anywhere in the world and work. For example, Levels’ CEO Sam Corcos lived out of a small backpack, traveling from city to city as Levels started.

Editorial Director Mike Haney chatted with Sam and other Levels employees who lived the digital nomad lifestyle: Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Casey Means, and Steph Coates, a software engineer.

In this episode, Sam, Casey, Haney, and Steph discuss these aspects of being a digital nomad:

  • The beauty of building a lifestyle around travel and what you love to do at work
  • Flexing the spontaneity muscle and going outside your comfort zone
  • Building deeper relationships with friends along the way
  • And more practical aspects like how to decide where to go, how to stay healthy on the road, how to prepare for different scenarios, and how to pay taxes.
