Notes from Chris

Episode 1719
Have you ever won anything? I’m not sure if I have, which probably means that I haven’t—or at least I haven’t won anything substantial.

True story: one of our listeners in the UK won a contest (with 315,000 entrants) to live anywhere with Airbnb for a whole year. Pretty cool, right? He’s now wondering how to maximize the publicity his family is getting.

I have several comments and suggestions for him—and I also solicited additional feedback online—so let’s go quickly to get to his question and then see if we can be helpful.

I’ll also let you know how you can follow his journey over the next year if you’d like.

"Hi, Chris. James Glasby here from the West Midlands in the UK, I'm a doctor, surgeon and a researcher, and I discovered your podcast probably about twelve months ago now. But during that time, I've listened to all of your back catalog, including all your books. And thank you so much for this community is the perfect listening. On my way to and from work. I'm writing to you because we have a very unique opportunity, I think, with my fiance and our six month old son. And we've been selected from three hundred and fifteen thousand people to live anywhere with Airbnb for a year, traveling around the world and experiencing what it's like to do remote work from lots of different locations. We share your love of travel and are really excited for this. But we also wonder whether there might be some commercial opportunities perhaps to create and market new products or perhaps just in terms of a travel blog and Instagram for young children. But with your background and expertise we wouldn't if you had any thoughts of where we may be best to focus our attention during this COVID travel recovery period."
