Oli Nold is the quintessential digital nomad and a serial entrepreneur. He ran one of the world's largest digital nomad communities & is currently the Co-Founder of North Resolutions, a digital marketing agency he runs with his fiancé, Lisa.
I've been chasing Oli for nearly three years for this interview, and you're about to find out why. Oli is a multi-faceted force of nature: he thrives at the frontier, spots opportunity with the eyes of a hawk & lives unapologetically in his lane.
We explore his journey thus far from Switzerland around the world, doing nomad life and business with your soulmate, making 7 figures, losing 7 figures, the challenges of mental health and addiction and much more.
I loved everything about this conversation: Oli is a true maverick; an inspiration to anyone who dares to dream & someone who you can count on for unrelenting honesty and a commitment to be their authentic self, no matter the time, place or context.

Unmapped with Mike Kelly
Unmapped is an exploration of the human desire for travel. Why do we travel? What do we learn from it? How does it enrich our experience of the world? What impact do our travels have on the rest of our lives?
Mike speaks with pioneers, adventurists and trailblazers from around the planet, hearing their stories and unlocking the life secrets they’ve learned from their time on (and off) the beaten path.
This Podcast has been produced by Bondi Radio Media Group, and creative illustrations of the host and authors contributed by Moral Studios.
Meet the Host
“Unmapped is my next journey; a true passion project. It’s an opportunity to express my way of life and to give mavericks a platform to share the beauty of their lives. It’s easy to feel trapped in society but freedom is always available and for me, it was travel which showed me that.”
