This
is
the
Remote
Work
Life
Business
Spotlight
,
where
I
highlight
top
remote
business
innovators
and
share
personal
and
career
development
tips
to
help
you
navigate
the
world
of
remote
work
.
I'm
your
host
,
alex
Wilson-Campbell
.
I
help
remote
work
managers
,
professionals
and
freelancers
overcome
isolation
and
uncertainty
in
their
life
to
get
hired
and
fulfill
their
career
goals
.
So
here's
another
quick
overview
or
review
of
another
100%
remote
business
for
you
,
and
this
time
we're
looking
at
Tortuga
.
And
Tortuga
make
travel
backpacks
,
day
packs
,
duffels
,
etc
.
Some
really
stylish
looking
bags
,
actually
,
some
pretty
simple
designs
,
but
I'm
sure
they're
very
durable
,
etc
.
And
pretty
lightweight
,
and
I
think
that
they're
actually
focusing
on
people
,
on
travelers
,
because
obviously
that
lightweight
aspect
is
going
to
be
something
that
um
is
going
to
be
appealing
.
But
yeah
,
they
they're
a
business
that's
fully
remote
um
,
and
if
you
go
here
,
they
talk
about
who
they
are
.
They
give
a
lot
of
information
in
terms
of
the
actual
benefits
of
working
for
them
.
Obviously
,
they
sell
backpacks
and
travel
packs
and
day
packs
,
but
they
talk
about
their
story
in
quite
a
lot
of
detail
here
.
Speaker 1
1:19
Freed
from
an
office
,
you
work
where
you're
most
productive
and
live
where
you're
happiest
.
This
is
all
about
them
and
their
ethos
.
Becoming
location
independent
isn't
easy
,
but
we
can
help
.
We've
done
it
already
and
because
they
were
established
back
in
2009
,
so
an
established
business
that's
been
going
for
quite
a
while
now
,
and
here
you
see
the
co-founders
.
I
mean
it
doesn't
really
give
too
much
in
terms
of
the
kinds
of
people
that
they
hire
.
Remote
work
is
the
first
step
to
location
dependence
.
So
we
built
Tortuga
as
a
fully
distributed
company
.
Our
team
works
remotely
and
lives
all
over
the
world
,
and
here's
a
team
right
here
,
a
small
team
,
but
they
built
something
and
that's
only
going
to
get
better
if
they
continue
to
grow
.
Speaker 1
2:10
So
talk
about
working
on
your
terms
.
Scratch
your
own
itch
.
Prioritize
the
customer
.
That
gives
you
a
clue
in
terms
of
the
kinds
of
people
who
they
may
hire
.
Build
and
improve
systems
Again
,
software
and
systems
.
That's
another
clue
as
to
the
sorts
of
people
that
they
hire
.
Speaker 1
2:26
At
the
moment
,
at
the
time
of
filming
this
,
they're
not
hiring
,
but
,
as
I
said
,
all
of
this
gives
you
some
clues
as
to
who
they
might
hire
and
it
may
be
worth
,
even
though
they're
not
hiring
at
the
moment
Tortuga
,
it
may
well
be
worth
keeping
an
eye
on
them
and
perhaps
even
dropping
them
a
line
if
you
feel
that
any
of
those
kinds
of
things
,
ie
systems
and
customer
service
are
things
that
you
would
get
involved
in
,
and
obviously
they're
going
to
be
doing
marketing
as
well
for
their
bags
,
and
what
they
say
here
is
if
you
go
here
,
you
can
get
a
job
alert
when
that
comes
about
.
So
that's
Tortuga
for
you
,
another
fully
remote
company
,
and
I
think
,
if
anything
,
if
nothing
else
,
I
think
it's
good
to
at
least
start
to
familiarize
with
yourself
with
a
list
of
,
say
,
10
,
20
,
30
of
these
types
of
businesses
and
do
your
research
in
terms
of
what's
what
you
like
,
what
kind
of
business
you
like
,
whether
it
be
product
or
a
service
,
whether
it
be
I
don't
know
in
Europe
or
in
America
,
ie
where
they're
located
,
for
example
.
It's
good
to
do
the
research
even
though
they're
not
hiring
,
because
then
,
once
they
are
hiring
,
you'll
be
in
a
position
then
to
launch
your
application
,
whether
that
be
for
a
job
or
if
you're
looking
to
perhaps
be
hired
by
them
as
a
freelancer
.
Then
you'll
know
everything
that
you
need
to
know
about
them
in
advance
of
any
sort
of
opportunities
coming
about
.
So
that's
my
quick
overview
of
Tortuga
Backpacks
.
You
can
get
them
at
,
or
you
can
reach
them
at
,
tortugabackpackscom
and
have
a
look
at
Tortuga
