Product Prompt #5 on Product Disrupt Blog

I’ve been freelancing and working independently along with my day job for 5+ years now, but it was only recently that I had the first taste of The Remote Life when I took a month-long work-vacation to Thailand. Of course, I had to quit my day job before flying to Thailand.

A wide majority of the working class isn’t even aware of the remote way of working. May be the tech industry is somewhat aware of this digital nomad lifestyle where the individuals find a shelter in some foreign country for a few months, continue their regular work from there and repeat.

That said, it’s still a very small fraction of the folks working in the tech industry who go on such a nomad trip or are even aware of this culture. The unawareness isn’t very surprising though, since it’s unconventional and challenges the norm, but I’m pleased to see its rapid acceptance.

I reached out to a couple of friends who’ve been working remotely and running their businesses for quite a while now. Also, I made a lot of amazing friends while in Thailand and thought it had be a nice idea to connect with them and know their thoughts on the remote culture and their experience of working independently. And this is what they had to say.
