There\u2019s a lot of talk nowadays on the importance of choosing when and where to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that sounds familiar \u2013 it\u2019s because the term Digital Nomads, location independent entrepreneurs, who can work on multiple projects from anywhere in the world, is starting to gain momentum across the country and the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olumide Gbenro, a serial entrepreneur and businessman, is also a Digital Nomad, and one of the main actors responsible for ensuring this important community continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, Mr. Gbenro is the founder of The Digital Nomad Summit<\/a>, which is \u201cgrowing the largest community of location independent entrepreneurs in the world.\u201d <\/strong>They are organizing a Digital Nomad Summit to take place in Bali, Indonesia in June 2020, where hundreds of location independent entrepreneurs can meet and connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Olumide Gbenro, also known as The @Globopreneur<\/a>, has had a connection with nomadism throughout his life. That is, he has constantly moved around and lived in multiple different places. \u201cI\u2019m a multilingual entrepreneur who was raised on 3 continents by age 13,\u201d <\/strong>he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, when he was thinking of business, he always thought globally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn my adult life I have had the chance to do marketing for globally recognized companies from Germany, Mexico, Nigeria and South Africa. Before starting Digital Nomad Summit, I worked also did marketing and community building for multimillion dollar valued companies across the globe,\u201d Gbenro points out.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n In an ever changing world, where industries are learning to adapt to new technology, office space has also changed. Now more than ever, telework is a possibility in many offices throughout the world, as many workers only need good Internet connection and a computer to do their work. Digital Nomads are a result of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho wouldn\u2019t love working from their laptop on different beaches around the world from Bali, Indonesia or coworking spaces in Chiang Mai, Thailand,?\u201d he shared. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Through location independent entrepreneurship, Gbenro also founded Globo Water, \u201ca social cause company that builds water wells in remote areas across various African countries.\u201d <\/strong>And, as a Digital Nomad himself, Gbenro started noticing many needs and obstacles that could be overcome to improve location independent work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have been traveling since 2012 while in college and non-stop as a location independent entrepreneur the last 3 years. When I started traveling more I noticed there were different needs for this transient population now called \u2018Digital Nomads\u2019 from mental health to practical products and services for people who are used to living in a new country every few months,\u201d Gbenro adds.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
