Dave Williams is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of NomadX, a Lisbon-based housing company and community that's on a mission to revolutionize the way location independent professionals, or “Digital Nomads”, live, work, and travel the world. Live interview start at 4:48.

NomadX makes it easy and affordable to live the Digital Nomad lifestyle, explore new cultures, and meet people from around the world while maintaining a healthy career.

NomadX Slow Travel Pads™ and Lifestyle Community for Digital Nomads offers apartments, private bedrooms and coliving spaces for rent direct from friendly hosts in cool local Portuguese neighborhoods for as little as a month, and at local prices that are much more affordable than AirBNB’s short term rates.

They will help you stay on budget with a private room, apartment, or shared coliving space ranging from €250 to €850+ per month. Plus, access the local digital community as a bonus.

- How he started so many tech companies before Google and Facebook without any experience
- Why he took time off to walk the Camino de Santiago and what he learned
- How we can solve housing for digital nomads
- Why Portugal is such a great place for people to live
- What the scene is like during Web Summit - the world's largest tech conference
- Why NOW is the best time to become a digital nomad
