In this podcast, we talk to Johnny FD Jen - a famous travel vlogger who chose Ukraine as his new homeland. Johnny moved to Kyiv from San Francisco in 2021 and it was here that he met the beginning of the great war. Since then, he has survived power outages with Ukrainians, volunteered with Repair Together, and systematically raised money for the needs of the Armed Forces and Armed Forces of Ukraine through his YouTube channel, where he also talks about the realities of Ukrainian life, Kyiv's markets, the Superhumans rehabilitation center for military personnel in Lviv, and travels around Ukrainian cities. In the podcast, we talk about how Johnny met the Russian invasion of Ukraine, his experience with Russian shelling of residential areas in Kharkiv, and the blackouts in Ukraine due to Russian terrorist attacks. We also touched on American politics, tried to figure out what would happen to the world if Ukraine falls, and why supporting Ukraine is extremely important for Western civilization. We also raised a number of other interesting and relevant topics. In short, we invite you to watch.

In this episode I'll go through the history and future of the Nomad Summit and how it's affected the lives of many people who attended. "Hey There Johnny, Alex was here visiting me recently in Panama. At one point we were reminiscing about living in Playa, what's transpired since then and how we met at the Digital Nomad Summit. We began talking about how many people we met from that event and still keep in contact with, how it was an impactful series of events, the friendships and connections that were made, how grateful we are for your creation and making it happen . . . also how much time, work, resources and, most of all, heart it took to pull it off. Alex and I wanted to thank you . . . So, I thought of all the other connections and friends of people I met there and put them in here. Sooooo, thank you for everything you did! The impacts of your effort are sill rippling out into the lives that you touched by pursuing your inspiration. Thank you for collecting and attracting amazing people who I value the friendships of.

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.
