Jess and Jon talk about their backgrounds living and working on four different continents and how they came to work on self improvement so much together.  They discuss what the NTL podcast will cover and delve into what it’s like to move to a new country or city you’ve never been to before with no network or job.  Touching on how to deal with banking, housing, bills,  and visas in new places.  Then they talk about their shared goal of fluency in Spanish and some of the learning techniques they’ve used to rapidly learn the language.
