Refresh yourself!
By Gus Silber
In between building a career, raising a family, and making a home sweet home, most of us settle into a life of comfortable routine, interrupted now and again by a planned or unplanned adventure.
But for Ingrid Lotze and Gavin Moffat, husband-and-wife and business partners, a fleeting thought while watching a movie from their couch led to a wild idea that pushed the reset button on their lives.
They sold their house and belongings, packed their suitcases, and became digital nomads, working remotely from all over the world. In this issue, they share their story and offer insights and advice to those of us who would like to do the same.
But you don't need to travel afar to reinvent yourself and start over. All you need to do is take that first small step, advises Gill Cross. Then the one after that, and the one after that. "They might not feel like leaps," writes Gill, "but they add up over time."
We also meet a young couple who uprooted their lives to start a business in the mountains and forests of the Overberg, and we tune in to Ruda Landman's candid interview with BrightRock CEO Suzanne Stevens.
Enjoy the issue, and happy resets!
