🎧 Listen if you're asking:

👉 “Can I really do this?”
👉 “Do I need digital skills?”

👉 “Will I regret not doing this?”

In this transformative episode of the Beach Commute Podcast, Jeff and Marisa answer one of the most common questions we get from aspiring digital nomads:
"I’m a [insert non-digital job here] — can I really work remotely and travel the world?"

From coal miners to potato farmers, nurses to office workers, this episode is a full-on permission slip to reinvent your career, reimagine your freedom, and reclaim your time.

We dive deep into:

🎯 What “transferable skills” really are and why almost everyone has them

🧠 The #1 hidden fear stopping most people from making a career shift

💰 Why taking a temporary pay cut might be the best decision of your life

🧭 The secret to finding your dream remote job (it’s not what you think!)

You’re not starting over — you’re starting from experience.

You don’t have to sacrifice money forever… but you might trade prestige for freedom.

You already have the tools — now it’s about building the courage to leap.
