Who’s Paschke?!

Life’s interesting. 

I ran away from „normal“ evenings and conversations about nothing. 

The thing I enjoy now the most about settling here in Lombok is coming home and talking shit with friends. 

Not that I didn’t enjoy talking shit before,

But now on a more regular basis. 

And it’s not about being less ambitious, at least that’s how I excuse myself, it’s just about being more in the moment, and well - missing one salsa course isn’t a big deal, when there’s a new one the week after. 

Missing an „amazing opportunity and somebody I wanted to connect you with for longer now“ is not as relevant anymore, when you stay for longer than a month in one place. 

It can wait. 

It.

Will. 

Wait. 

Ugh. 

Amazing. 

Honestly I’m asking myself if this is how it will go now. 

I’m trying to be less naive and pretend I know myself better by now, so I try to guess how it goes in a year. 

And then I stop. 

Because what the fuck does it matter. 

I’m sitting on a plane to Kuala Lumpur while writing this, I’m doing my first ever visa run. 

It’s kinda exciting!

Besides the tiny Asian legroom space. 

Sorry, besides the tiny Asian everything. 

Going back same evening and checking in with my fresh printed (kidding I’m not printing stuff), 1 year multiple entry visa. 

Sounds expensive?

Because it was 😂

I went to this sunset hill yesterday with some random couchsurfers. 

They were like „oh cool, I think I’ve been here!“

Man, I wasn’t!

And I live here since a month!

Funny and kinda interesting to see how focus shifts immediately as soon as you STOP RUNNING. 

And oh wow, I’m looking forward to me pouring all of the „running“ energy into work. 

Rent an office, blackout shades, super comfortable chair, coffee machine, gym. 

Unstoppable empire building power. 

Now, behind the scenes of what has happened since last week:

• more amazing, successful calls. 

Besides the couple that’s looking for flights now there is two more girls that had a good vibe and were interested in joining. 

• „job offer“ and „free?“ Spam submissions + no shows on calls have led me to rethink the funnel and emphasise the PAID, NOT A JOB OFFER aspect of the whole thing. 

• Created a bunch of content, bumped up the ad budget and stared optimising for calls instead of submissions and…

• 14 more calls incoming in four days. 

WooooooHOOOOOO!

And now the best part:

I got a DM from someone I didn’t know, she reached out because she was interested in the retreat. 

And then she says, „Paschke gave me your contact and told me about Nomad Nexus!“

You see-

I don’t know a Paschke. 

I have no idea who that is. 

And that was the biggest validation so far. 

Hear me out:

Somebody I DONT KNOW reaches out to me because of my project, and says she got referred BY SOMEBODY I DONT KNOW?!

WHAT?!

This is insane!

Life’s a simulation!

I mean - clearly this is how it goes, but isn’t it mind blowing?

It gets better:

A text into our newsletter accountability group makes my friend motivate me with the following story:

During a conversations with a couple that they have met (again) in Tirana I got brought up by this man: “do you guys know Danny? I read his newsletter and I really enjoy it!”

I fell from my chair. 

(I was laying in bed)

I don’t think we know each other. 

I don’t know what I have expected from writing every week, but I can’t grasp the fact that someone actually reads it. 

Every week. 

And likes it. 

And talks about it?!

I appreciate it. 

Honestly. 

Thank you, unknown man!

It means the world to me that you’re reading along. 

And it motivated me to continue today. 

As much as it means the world to me that probably someone else here is also reading along.

Thank you for spending your precious time with this. 

Answer to this email. 

I’ll read it.

and btw there is some content online on the instagram! I see some new subs here from there :)

check it out

Cheers,

Danny. 

P.S.: checkout the retreat itself here. And if you know someone, that might be interested in this project - I would appreciate you sharing it.
