1) VIDEO CALL WITH ME

KICK OFF 2024 WITH A VIDEO CALL WITH ME. This year, I’d like to get to know you better, and learn how I can tailor both the podcast and the newsletter to provide as much value to you as possible. As a thank you for subscribing to the Monday Minute (and listening to The Maverick Show), I’d like to offer you a 25 minute video call where we can talk about anything you like (travel, entrepreneurship, real estate, podcasting, music, world affairs, or anything that’s important to you). I’m happy to answer any questions you have. To lock it in, DM me on Instagram @mattbowlesmaverick before January 7th, 2024 to schedule it. Talk to you soon!

2) TRAVEL GEAR I USE

JBL FLIP WATERPROOF TRAVEL SPEAKER. Having a great speaker when you travel is fantastic. You can play music loud enough for a house party on this, or stream a movie and have premium quality sound anywhere in the world. And, this speaker is 100% waterproof and literally floats in the pool, so you can toss it in the water and take any pool party to the next level! Check out the JBL Flip Speaker along with the rest of my travel gear here.

3) WHAT TO READ

COBALT RED: HOW THE BLOOD OF THE CONGO POWERS OUR LIVES is a New York Times Bestselling book that everyone (especially digital nomads) should read. Cobalt is the essential component in every lithium-ion rechargeable battery that powers our smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Roughly 75% of the world’s cobalt is mined in the Congo, much of it through an absolute horror show of human rights abuses. In this book, for the first time ever, activist and researcher Siddharth Kara traveled deep into cobalt territory to document the testimonies of the people living, working, and dying for cobalt. He makes the argument for why we all must care about this, how we are implicated in it, and what we can do about it. You can buy it anywhere books are sold or listen to the audio book with a free trial of Audible here.

Did you Listen to Last Week’s Episode of The Maverick Show?

Last week I published Part 2 of my interview with Rosie Bell. She talks about the art and business of travel writing, pursuing what you desire, and how she designs her digital nomad life. She also talks about traveling the world with carry-on luggage only, dating as a digital nomad, and how travel has impacted her as a person. Finally, she explains how she mentors aspiring travel writers, as well as aspiring digital nomads in any field looking to transition into the lifestyle.
