Elizabeth created online friendships that saved her mental health as a digital nomad, long before she ever met them in person. That's what pushed her to build an online community for young female founders. I sat down at a café in Da Nang with Elizabeth to talk about online community, friends online and friends in real life.

We talk about:

  • why online friends can be just as real as the ones you meet in person
  • why she felt more alone in Asia than she ever did back home
  • how she made her first nomad friends on LinkedIn before meeting them in person
  • what made her start an online community for other female founders
  • why coworking with friends only works if everyone actually shows up to work
  • why people who only trust in-person friendships are missing out
  • picking a season of nomading and actually committing to it instead of doing both halfway
  • getting fired from a job she hated and why it was the best thing that happened to her

Elizabeth Kershaw runs an online community for young female founders building businesses while living the nomad life.
