I met and trained with Will "the kill" Chope in 2011 at Phuket Top Team, since then he's fought professionally around the world, including for the UFC. We reminisce about our times living in Phuket, talk about prices and how inflation has affected Thailand since, and what it would take for a young wanna be fight pro to get started today.

In this episode, I interview three Ukrainian guys currently living in a city south of Kyiv to see what life is like there and what they think of foreigners who live in Ukraine now. Pavlo, Slava, and Bogdan are tech and science workers and are examples of some of the brightest minds of the Ukrainian workforce. Their podcast is called Технічна База (technical base). It's mainly in Ukrainian, but there are some episodes in English as well. We recorded an episode to like to discuss with you your experience living in Ukraine. Can you give some advice to digital nomads or IT crowd who might consider moving to Ukraine? Things like these.
