E56: The Digital Nomad: James Ellsmoor plus my Argentina Trip

This episode is a result of a chance meeting in Buenos Aires after seeing a tweet by James Ellsmoor aka the Digital Nomad. James has been on my list of potential podcast guests for several months so it seemed fate intervened to make this episode happen. James is an advocate for sustainability and renewables projects in rural areas and remote islands around the world. A millennial that has started several ventures but never had a "real job" is an interesting departure from my typical podcast guest.

James can be found on twitter: @jellsmoor and on Linked In and Facebook.

This is another episode that was enabled by being able to quickly respond to the opportunity via use of my Iphone to record.

In addition to speaking with James, I briefly discuss the situation in Argentina, Bolivia's new "Lithium Czar", Drama in the Atacama and the recent run-up in the stock price of junior lithium stocks.

Please note that after initial publication of this episode I inserted an "errata clip" to correct the fact that that I misspoke about Argentina's opponent in the 1986 world cup final - it was West Germany not England. The "hand of God" goal by Diego Maradona was actually in the quarterfinal final match vs England. Lesson: never listen to an American talking about futbol.

Trivia: The picture of the Global Lithium hat was taken one year ago today in a fjord in northern Norway near Tromso.
