WOW!!! As Told By Nomads has 100 episodes! I can't believe it's believe we made it this far. It's been a little over a year since I started this podcast which of course led to UYD Media.

Here's a crazy story for you! Last week at the Mid-Atlantic Conference I met a guy called Ivan Raiklin who had followed me on Twitter and Facebook a couple of days prior to us attending  the conference. We shook hands and he proceeded to ask me what my podcast was about since we were at a podcasting conference. Naturally, I responded with "it's about nomads, people with global mindsets entrepreneurs and international business people and how they communicate across cultures professionally and professionally." But before I could continue, he goes "when are you gonna interview me?" And I had the "I just met you look" on my face. Still unsure, I asked him what he did and he said, "don't worry about it and then said we can do the interview right now."  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
