I think people are desperate for a different way to live. We’ve been digital nomads for years and have seen that industry explode firsthand, just seeing so many more people traveling to new countries and working online.

There are just so many more people looking for a healthier lifestyle. Wellness, homesteading, homeschooling, and city life just isn’t appealing anymore.

The other thing that people didn’t really expect was that millennials would be inheriting a lot of wealth from the boomer generation, but not spending it in the same way. Instead, they’re wanting to spend money on experiences and purpose rather than more stuff.

There’s a lot of a focus on culture and natural movement, local food, environments that support purpose and that are good for raising kids and community.

At the same time, tech is making it easier to organize communities and facilitate all of the complexity of building community.

I think the future is gonna look a lot more local and a lot more ancestral. I think tech is going quietly help in the background.
