Episode Highlights: 

• Who is Zoe Routh?
• Zoe Routh shares with us her past affiliations, experiences, and her first marathon experience.
• Zoe talks about the gig economy and why digital nomads chose to be digital nomads.
• It's interesting how the gig economy and digital nomads were well ahead of the curve in terms of being prepared for a pandemic.
• "What motivates us most is not necessarily money, but purpose, mastery and autonomy."
• They have the freedom to operate where and how they choose, making their own hours. And this makes for very engaged workers because they're doing it on their own terms.”
• A discussion on how the pandemic made most of us into digital nomads, how it amped up our ability to learn technology, being autonomous, and more.
• "Health. Wellbeing. Put that at the forefront of everything that you do. Get yourself into a rhythm of looking after your health and wellbeing, because that is what's going to sustain you through this. And of those people that have done that, you can see them they're sort of rolling through quite nicely."
