OVER THE PAST several weeks we’ve been in contact with Ryan Paugh from the BrazenCareerist Community. We signed an ad deal, and are stoked to see how our two communities can grow supporting one another.
Brazen Careerist’s tagline is “Where Ideas Are Your Resume.” It’s a community of people who have achieved a location-independent lifestyle via new and social media, blogging, design, and other online work.
There’s never a 100% “typical” Brazen Careerist. Their community is super diverse and dynamic. For example, take the following three Brazen Careerists and what they have to say about the community:
Lea Woodward, Founder of Location Independent Professionals
I live a nomadic life with my husband and 6 month old daughter, traveling and living in places like Cape Town, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Grenada, Panama, Buenos Aires. Brazen Careerist has been a great way to nurture existing professional relationships while I’m on the road.
Having also set up a group for other location independent people on BC, it’s been a fantastic way to “meet” people who live or want to live a similar lifestyle and demonstrates that borders and geography really don’t matter these days.
Caitlin McCabe, Founder of White Label Marketing & the blog Smile Like you Mean It
As a location independent I use Brazen Careerist to ask other entrepreneurs what processes and systems are working for them. The community is really receptive to questions that a lot of other business pros don’t want to talk about or answer and the network there is really honest in their opinions.
Cath Duncan, Social Worker, Life Coach and blogger at Mine Your Resources and Bottom-line Bookclub
As a location independent professional, one of the fine balances is the tension of being independent in location whilst staying interdependent with my tribe, and Brazen Careerist helps me to do that. I’ve found a lot of great people on who share my core values – like innovation, inventing an authentic life, making a contribution, doing meaningful work, and so on, and I love that it’s a spam-free thinking environment that makes it easy for me to keep up with the latest thinking amongst my peers and like-minded young thoughtleaders.
After discussing various ways by which we could share info between Brazen Careerist and Matador, Ryan thought of an exclusive webcast for Matador readers/members.
Here’s the info:
