#4: TWO CREATIVE BRAINS: EMBRACING A MOBILE LIFESTYLE WITHIN THE TECH WORLD.
We are Rachel Bellotti and Jenell Riesner, co-hosts of the TRUE NORTH COLLECTIVE PODCAST, exploring everyday people fearlessly finding and living their true north.
We have met so many interesting people from all walks of life living fascinating and inspiring lives whose stories aren’t being told. This season we are excited to connect with and celebrate the untold stories of everyday people from Sheboygan, WI, to Santa Monica, CA, who are living their true north and inspiring each of us to do the same.
Introducing Dave Bellotti, a software engineer from California. He develops more efficient systems for tech entrepreneurs in the tech space. Because he loves travel and being outside, he has developed a mobile lifestyle that allows him to do his work from anywhere in the world. Most recently he has been diving into the crazy world of crypto mining.
