It was really a well rounded conference with a little for everyone and a lot for most people. If I was to make a suggestion it would be to make it a 2 day event because a lot of people come a long way to attend. Also make the meetups schedule known in advance. Perhaps some beginner workshops on the side. But no complaints and it was a great event!<br />Robert TaylorAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17778812305246334474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-38671370616263121992017-02-16T02:34:19.717-08:002017-02-16T02:34:19.717-08:00Hey Johnny! Thank you for writing this post man.
...Hey Johnny! Thank you for writing this post man.<br /><br />It really is important to be reminded of lessons learned along the way. Especially if the goal is to improve the community, as such, an honest and detailed review is necessary. It was especially cool hearing some of the back story from you! Had no idea you put down a $10K deposit even before the fact. Guts!<br />My favorite lesson learned must be what you said at the end, <br />"But I've also realized that by holding back information just so you don't piss off the haters, you're also hurting the people who genuinely want that information.<br />Lesson Learned: You can't please everyone, so focus on the positive people and ignore the negative ones as they'll never be happy no matter what you do."<br /><br />So key. While I was fortunate enough to chat with you about some of these technical aspects of your online business in person, I hope you might consider a webinar or youtube content to cover some of what you might have went into at the summit, but didn't for the reasons you described. That way the people who are looking for it will find it from you anyway.<br />I know the 2018 Summit can only get better and look forward to seeing whats in store! ;)<br /><br />Thanks again for everything Johnny, and keep rocking it!<br /><br />James Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080231424405358417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-14712795098580057232017-02-15T22:58:36.234-08:002017-02-15T22:58:36.234-08:00Hey Victor, I appreciate that!

Really appreciate your efforts to be transparent and to provide value-first. Most people don't bother taking the time to do that so this blog post was an awesome reflection of you.<br /><br />People can say all they want, but I'm sure everyone who has felt your impact appreciate the value you provide the DN community!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336864347528806284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-73464193457057177242017-02-15T18:57:06.189-08:002017-02-15T18:57:06.189-08:00I've been to Chiang Mai before but this trip o...I've been to Chiang Mai before but this trip out for the summit exposed me to the 'nomad' side of Chiang Mai. And it convinced me that this lifestyle is truly possible. I've set 2 goals to complete so that when I come next year, I can truly say I've made x amount online. It makes me green with envy that you have events planned every week at coffee club that I can't go because i have a full time job.<br /><br />Thank you Johnny for putting the nomad summit together!Sureborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08679818495991251226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-40743851148791772422017-02-15T18:18:31.003-08:002017-02-15T18:18:31.003-08:00Hey Ace, thanks for your input.

I also really enjoyed March's talk and really feel like her story has the potential to inspire millions of people. <br /><br />I also agree that Riley's talk is going to make more of an impact to people watching at home than the people already made it out to the event.

Thanks for coming out! I agree it really sucks how many people hate on an event they've never even been to when overwhelming the people that actually attended like you got a lot out of it.<br /><br />Hopefully that'll change, but more importantly, I'm just glad people like you ignore the haters and don't' let them deter you from a great experience yourself.

I enjoyed Riley's talk, but I I can understand if some felt it wasn't what they wanted. But, I think the people checking out the videos on YouTube who have not taken their first Digital Nomad steps when they are published will be inspired by his story. Just like I was inspired by the videos from the 2016 event, especially the the boys of the Tribe.ACehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435862152565016995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-14774504134738376252017-02-15T09:23:40.139-08:002017-02-15T09:23:40.139-08:00Very nice post, and I look forward to seeing the v...Very nice post, and I look forward to seeing the video(s) you mentioned that will be ready soon.<br /><br />For me personally, being a beginner taking action steps now and wanting the dream so badly, the 2018 conference will serve a great motivating goal - I want to a part of it next year.<br /><br />I see that at the summit video (summary video) posted on YouTube there are already several haters/losers who are bringing profoundly ignorant comments and negativity to something so awesome. <br /><br />Unfortunately that's how the weak and insecure are - and they'll be in the same place in their lives next year, while we roll forward and get closer and closer to getting the most out of life. Their way of thinking is what I call the "loser mentality."<br /><br />Thanks for a great post, the info/presentation reviews, and I bet it was <b>excellent</b> being there!!GetItGoinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763680571822289515noreply@blogger.com
