Episode 79: The Global Nomad Chronicles: Embracing Change, Living the Nomadic Life, and Cultivating Global Citizenship

In this week's #MoneyMagic episode, Vangile interviews Amel Derragui, a business and marketing coach, speaker and the founder of Tandem Nomads (tandemnomads.com).

In this podcast Amel talks to us about various aspects of personal and business growth, focusing on themes such as adaptability, mindset shifts around money, the importance of self-awareness, and building businesses aligned with one's lifestyle.

She shares her personal journeys, emphasizing the transformative effects of living in different countries and the lessons she’s learned along the way. She also highlights the importance of embracing sales and marketing as a means of serving others and building relationships, rather than merely selling. 

She also takes us through the importance of self-love, healing past traumas, discovering one's true purpose to make a positive impact in the world and defining your zone of genius. She also emphasizes the need for clarity, consistency, and conversion in marketing strategies, while cautioning against self-shaming and overworking. 

This is yet another incredible episode.

Notable Quotes 

  • Leaving countries, at the end, is almost as powerful as arriving in a new one because you leave with so much more than what you came with.

  • It's interesting how sometimes there's a superpower in us that is guiding our way. I don't know if it's our soul spirit or whatever, but it feels as if I had some invisible hand pushing me through a certain journey.

  •  Money is also a multiplier of impact. The more money you make, the more impact you can make in the world.

  • Do things, start somewhere, do something. And then the more you do, the more the answers will come to you. Don't think about it. Thinking is not going to get you the answers, but doing will.

  • We can be a visionary. We can keep innovating, moving on, but let there be space of being grateful for what we achieved already.
