1191: Digital Nomads | Skeptical Sunday

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. Today I'm here with Skeptical Sunday co-host, writer, and researcher Jessica Wynne. On the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people, and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker, and during the week we have long form conversations with a variety of amazing folks, from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers, performers. On Sundays, though, it's Skeptical Sunday, a rotating guest co-host and I are gonna break down a topic that you may have never thought about and debunk common misconceptions. Topics such as why expiration dates on food and medication are kinda nonsense. Acupuncture, astrology, recycling, homeopathy, hypnosis.

Internet porn, diet pills, and more.

On the surface, digital nomads are the ultimate fantasy. Remote workers, untethered from cubicles, jet setting to sip iced coffee in Bali, and then they work from a rooftop bar in Lisbon.
