With so many business resources online, it’s reasonable to rely on the outside world to make decisions and navigate our entrepreneurial journey.

In this episode Cath Brew talks about the importance of intuition, how to develop yours and why your business needs it. She explains the difference between emotions and intuition, how to recognize these differences and why one may interfere with business efficiency whilst the other improves it. For anyone who wants to learn more, this chat with Cath will help you expand your inner world to make better business decisions. “The more we learn how to access our discomforts, the less they have a hold over us” Cath is an artist who illustrates and educates about marginalized experiences for positive change with a focus on identity, belonging and expat life. She is also a shamanic practitioner and runs 'Crock-of-Shit-Free' Spiritual Guidance in which she helps clients to find inner peace and heal from emotional wounds - including childhood trauma, ancestral trauma, limiting beliefs, difficult relationships, and other internal struggles.

	23 Aug 2021	TN232: The simple thing solo entrepreneurs can do to support gender diversity and non-binary people – with Cath Brew	00:47:57
You might have noticed on social media that more and more people are declaring their gender/sex on their bio, profiles or even email signatures. Have you wondered what is the reasoning behind that or whether you should do it or not? I was in that space too when my friend Cath Brew helped me make the decision to pro-actively bring up this topic and declare my pronoun on all my profiles. Indeed, I truly believe that as solo entrepreneurs, we can make a real impact for marginalized people and should proactively look at how we show up to create a more inclusive world. "Having the choice as entrepreneurs to acknowledge gender expansive people or not is by itself a privilege." In this episode, Cath will answer all the uncomfortable questions we do not dare to ask around the topic of non-binary and gender expansive people so that you can take action without worrying about doing or saying the wrong thing. Cath Brew illustrates and educates about marginalized experiences for positive change - with a focus on identity, belonging and expat life. She hosts “Talk-Back Tuesday, a weekly Instagram and Facebook Live where she answers questions about LGBTQ+ issues. What You Will Learn What it means to be gender expansive or non-binary Why it is important for solo-entrepreneurs to proactively acknowledge these people The simple and small things solo-entrepreneurs can do to support marginalized non-binary people Cath was previously interviewed on Tandem Nomads sharing her inspiring journey turning her art into a real business and getting out of her zone of comfort to make an impact.

	27 Jul 2020	TN176: Taking a stand as an entrepreneur and leading your community through change – With Naomi Hattaway	00:54:29
When running a business and as an entrepreneur, I strongly believe that is our responsibility to show up: as an individual for your community in times of crisis when we see social injustice such as racism But it is often not easy to know what to do and how to show up effectively without getting overwhelmed. To discuss this topic, I am bringing you an expert in community leadership, Naomi Hattaway. "Instead of using the word ‘ally’ use the word ‘antagonist’ but the work starts at your kitchen table" Naomi Hattaway is the founder of I Am A Triangle, an online community with thousands of globally located members with one thing in common – they have lived around the world, away from their passport countries. She also owns 8th & Home Real Estate and Relocation, a nationwide referral network, matching families on the move with real estate professionals who chase communities and not commissions. After living in several locations in the United States, her family (three kids, now in college and high school) moved overseas to Delhi, India where she learned to thrive in the midst of chaos. Following a one-year stint in Singapore, they are now back in the United States, and she has traipsed her way from Florida to Virginia to Ohio and is now back in her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Naomi is passionate about community building and empowering others to thrive, not just survive, in the places they call home. What You Will Learn How global nomads can take a stand against injustice even when not having voting or local political power Why not being racist is not enough and where the work again racism can start in simple small actions as an individual and as an entrepreneur How entrepreneurs can show up and lead their communities again racism and injustice while making sure to not get overwhelmed and keeping the business in focus Resources And Inspiration: Using your voice to speak up How to build a powerful community and lead it to the next level – Naomi Hattaway Catrice Jackson Antagonist, Advocates and Allies: The Wake Up Call Guide for White Women Who Want to Become Allies with Black Women Angela Y.

Sometimes, the most important part of turning your dream of making a difference into reality is just to start somewhere!

Quickly after launching her podcast, the digital brokerage startup, Doss, based in Houston named her CEO of Social Agents, where she is building a team of real estate resource "Matchmakers" to support home buyers and sellers whether moving across town or to a new country.

	02 Nov 2020	TN190: How small business owners can build purpose and social impact into the business model – With Ebere Akadiri	00:44:10
In order to succeed in the long run, businesses should be clear about their purpose, their vision, their mission and their values. There are many important social causes in this world where businesses can make a huge impact by including them as part of their business model. Causes such as inclusion and diversity have been a major focus for many companies for decades , but I believe that we have reached a time where even small businesses can and should include social justice in their business model and the way they manage their day-to-day activities.

Our own limiting beliefs can be the biggest barriers to our own growth and success. So often we think there are things we just cannot be or words we cannot use about ourselves. Ambition is one of those words we often avoid.

Through her company, Intentional Expat Coaching, she empowers global nomads to overcome their internal blocks in order to create authentic and fulfilling lives, wherever in the world they call home.

Five years after her first episode on Tandem Nomads, Erin Long is back to share her incredible success story and how her company has developed into a business where she is not even needed anymore. That could be the end of the story, but the truth is that even the greatest successes come with challenges that no-one really talks about, even though so many entrepreneurs experience them. "Take care of your brain and well-being just like any other part of your body." In this episode, I want to shine the light on an important topic that is rarely spoken about - the mental health challenges that a lot of small business owners and solopreneurs experience. Erin and I have become friends over the years, and this episode is a heart-to-heart conversation between two friends and two business peers. In fact, we both experienced some tough times in the past year and are still working through it while growing our businesses. Erin shares so generously and with real authenticity the personal struggles she has faced despite her success, such as loss of motivation, purpose and direction, and how she managed to overcome her mental health challenges to continue to thrive in her journey. Erin Long is an American and a certified speech therapist. She quit her job to join her husband who works for the US Foreign Service and went to live with her family on a global nomadic life through Mexico, Brazil, Serbia and Bosnia so far. While moving from one country to another she had the brilliant idea to start online speech therapy services, Worldwide Speech, to help the English native speaking community around the world, particularly expat children. She created her company Worldwide Speech and became a certified practitioner by the American Telemedicine Association in telepractice.

Are you allowing yourself to dream big? Can you still dream like you did when you were a child and allow yourself to imagine the infinite possibilities ahead of you without worrying how you would get there?

Your dreams are within you. Deep inside you know what you really want, but you might be too scared to say it out loud. I truly believe that when you dare to dream, and dare to dream without limitations, you welcome abundance into your life and into your business, you intuitively do the right things and develop the right mindset to welcome great opportunities. In this short episode I want to share with you some simple things you can do to dare to dream again and dream big, even when you don’t know how you will make it happen.

	25 May 2020	TN168 : Dual career couples & putting the business at the same level as the partner’s job – With Jennifer Petriglieri	00:39:32
We often hear that being in a relationship requires tradeoffs and compromises. One of the most challenging compromises nowadays for most working couples around the world, and especially expat couples, is one partner giving up a successful career so that the other partner’s career can thrive. But does it really have to be this way? We know that in the long run this often leads to tensions in the relationship, causing resentment and loss of identity as well as financial vulnerability. Starting a portable business to allow the accompanying partner to also build a source of fulfillment and revenue on the move has been the foundation behind Tandem Nomads’ existence. However, for a business to succeed it needs real commitment. It often happens that expat partners cannot give their full attention to their business, especially when they have children, for the simple reason that they don’t have the right support system, but also because they do not feel supported by their own partner in this venture. In order to discuss these topics and bring you some guidance of how to deal with these dual career challenges, I invited Jennifer Petriglieri, the author of the book “Couples that Work”, a book on how dual-career couples can thrive in love and in work. She will share with you what she learned from interviewing more than 100 couples and her big tip on how to make your business a priority, even if you are not the main bread winner. "An expat job is not secure, your business is the backup plan of your family." Jennifer is the Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior at INSEAD where she directs the Management Acceleration Program and the Women Leaders Program. She has been shortlisted for the Thinkers50 New Thinker and Talent Awards and named one of the world’s best 40 business school professors under 40 by Poets & Quants. Jennifer is British, married to an Italian husband - they met in Switzerland, lived in Boston and now in France. Therefore, Jennifer knows a lot about duals career couples that live the global nomadic lifestyle. What You Will Learn How dual career couples can thrive in love and work What differentrelationship models exist and their pros vs cons How to make your business as important as your partner’s job Resources And Inspiration: Jennifer’s website Couples That Work @ Home: The Survival Series Buy “Couples that Work” How to make yourself a priority Find Jennifer online Website Linkedin Share Your Love!
