How To Overcome Your Fears And Embrace Serendipity: An Interview With Chris & Cherie From Technomadia.com

I’ve had a bunch of people asking me to share examples of people who are living Agile lives so that you can see the Agile Living values in action. This video interview with Chris and Cherie from www.technomadia.com is part of a series of “Agile Profiles” that I’ll be sharing with you.

I first met Chris and Cherie through the Location Independent community and then enjoyed meeting up with them when we passed through Salida CO at the same time last summer. They’re great people with smart minds and big, big hearts and their RV trailor lifestyle and many of the other unconventional choices they’ve made make them a great example of folks who’ve dropped the restrictive boxes and ladders and created ways to be free to be and experience more of what they love.

The video unfortunately came out rather poor quality, but luckily Chris and Cherie are a lot clearer than me and they’re the focus anyway. For those of you who’d prefer to download the interview and listen later on your ipod, you can download just the audio below.

What’s in this interview:

1:40 – Chris & Cherie share about what being “technomads” is all about. (They mention www.nomadness.com and www.microship.com)

3:20 – Chris & Cherie share about how their lifestyle allows them to have more choices and experience and be more of what they love.

5:29 – Chris and Cherie share about their perspectives on the fine line between enjoying having many choices and having stress as a result of too many choices. Chris loves having as many choices as possible, where as Cherie likes to tie decisions down sometimes. My favorite bit is what they shared how they stay connected with each other through these differences (especially since they share such a small space!).

14:22 – They share some great advice on how to find your personal limitations and how to deal with obstacles and failure along the way.

15:44 – Chris and Cherie share about their sustainable, lean lifestyle and how they collecting prioritize intangible experiences over building a fort. (The book Cherie mentions is The Sacred Santa: Religious Dimensions of Consumer Culture. [Aff])

19:00 – Chris and Cherie talk about their work and tell us how much work they actually do each week.

20:46 – Chris and Cherie share about their iphone App, “Statelines.” The app gives you information about laws that change as you cross state lines – great for folks traveling long-term through the USA!

22:40 – Chris and Cherie talk about their perspectives on prioritizing flexibility over structure and how they live on “nomadic standard time.”

26:25 – Chris and Cherie share their strategies for making major life decisions (loved what they had to say about this!)

28:08 – Chris and Cherie talk about how to deal with your fears so that your fears don’t get in the way of making your life more agile.
