It’s 2026: Time to Make Some Tweaks to Your Life’s Operating System

Danny Flood — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 01:54:21 +0000

Last week I posted a story on social media that may have confused a few of my followers. For my entire life my solution to every problem has been simple: WORK HARDER. I posted a photo of a sunset I took on this current motorcycle roadtrip across Thailand over the Andaman countryside and declared of the old me and this old philosophy. I stated in no uncertain terms that I was done working harder and that this philosophy was no […]

Today I have the pleasure of hosting an insightful interview with my friend and entrepreneur coach, George Katsiouras, as he reveals helpful strategies for us to break through mental barriers and achieve better performance and growth in our lives.

Imposter Syndrome (and my confession!)

Danny Flood — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 10:13:37 +0000

A while back, I received an email from a reader that I wasn’t immediately sure how to answer. I still think about it often. A blog visitor wrote to me, pleading for help but convinced his situation was already hopeless. He was a father, working a part-time online job he hated for a “propagandist news service.” He said he felt stuck, with “no $ to spend,” and was desperately looking for his “niche.” His language was a textbook case of […]

#128 – What is a Reality Distortion Field and How Do You Use It?

Danny Flood — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 12:31:00 +0000

We are hardwired to withdraw into a scarcity mindset because we think it protects us. By withdrawing into a figurative “shell,” we believe that we retreat into safety. Thousands of years ago, this was the case. This was how we survived. If you were kicked out of the tribe, more than likely you perished. And today we tend to continue adhering to this evolutionary mindset. We run away from things that make us feel uncomfortable. We run away from our […]

Hack Time: How to Cultivate a Godlike Aura of Efficiency and Speed

Danny Flood — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 06:42:58 +0000

My friend: there is one resource that is more valuable than all of the gold, diamond, and jewels in the world. It has contributed to the rise and fall of every major empire around the globe, and is the source of every fortune. Hacking this one thing is more valuable than all of the other growth hacks and life hacks in the entire world. The resource which I speak, of course, is time. This post is a sort of a […]

How Tom Went From a Homeless Street Busker to Shopify Tycoon

Danny Flood — Sun, 05 May 2019 14:17:54 +0000

In this article, we interviewed Tom Edwards to learn how he went from living in national parks and pinching nickels and dimes for pasta to earning $1,000+ per day within three months of starting his e-commerce business. I think everyone has experienced the anxiety of an under-funded budget at some point in their life. I’ve definitely felt it to the extreme, at times wondering if I’d have enough money to eat. Even when I was in a rough patch like […]

How to Create Freedom in the New World of Automation

Danny Flood — Wed, 01 May 2019 11:08:45 +0000

Automation is shaking up the way we work. I take that back. “Shaking up” is too light a word to describe what’s happening. Automation is exploding virtually every industry. Computers are coming for our jobs — yours and mine — and no one is safe. Almost every day, we see more and more evidence that computers and technology are coming to replace us. They perform our jobs cheaper, more efficiently and better than we humans ever could. According to BigThink, […]

Welcome to another episode of the OpenWorld podcast! Our guest, Vin Clancy, was living on welfare and benefits 3 years ago, until he received a check for $250,000 for one of his ideas.

If you love travel and pursuing your passions, you’ll love this episode! Back in 2016, Celinne Da Costa took a huge leap of faith: she left her unfulfilling corporate life in New York City behind to design the life she wanted from scratch. Growing up as an Italian-Brazilian in the United States, she never subscribed to the idea of the American Dream. Instead she yearned for a lifestyle that allowed her to travel, write, and share meaningful experiences with others. […]

Why I Quit A High-Paying Job at Apple to Travel and Live Out of a Backpack

Guest Author — Fri, 22 Jun 2018 04:10:35 +0000

My name is Tom Wahlin and I’m a front-end designer, digital nomad, and entrepreneur. I spent about a year and a half traveling around the world living out of a 30L backpack, and that experience plus my love for design culminated in my current endeavor, Pack Hacker, where my team and I review travel gear. We do video and written reviews for everything from backpacks to t-shirts to nail clippers, in order to help people choose the right gear for […]

On today’s podcast we’re speaking with Kim and Ryan Desmond who run CodingNomads, which teaches intensive software development courses around the world. When I first read about Kim and Ryan’s business, I really thought they had taken the tough route – after all, setting up an onsite technical training camp in Bali or Thailand cannot be easy, right? However, Ryan’s expertise with in-demand coding skills, Kim’s chops in marketing, and the couple’s combined dream to help people worldwide learn skills […]

Danny Flood — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 13:35:08 +0000

In this episode, we’ve flipped the tables and I’m the one being interviewed by my friend and new OpenWorld podcast co-host, Lloyd Hester. Sometime ago, Lloyd and I connected on Facebook and connected instantly as fellow entrepreneurs, global nomads, and kindred spirits. Both of us were the archetypal “square peg in the round hole” growing up; we really didn’t fit in with traditional education and a traditional career path. Despite natural gifts, we always seemed to be the troublemakers, the […]
