From Airline Cockpit to Startup Success & Bitcoin Excited to share the latest episode of the Digital Nomad Podcast, where I sat down with @Jordi Llonch Esteve - Airline pilot, - Startup founder - Mentor and passionate advocate for freedom in both money and speech with Bitcoin and as head of growth of Satlantis. Jordi’s journey is anything but conventional. Starting from the Ground Up: From baggage handler at Ryanair to flight dispatcher, and then seven years as an airline pilot. The Leap into Entrepreneurship: While flying, Jordi studied art and multimedia, which led him to launch his first startup, Sharing Academy. He shares candidly about the challenges of building a business with zero experience, learning to manage teams, and the reality of “successful failures.” Key Lessons: - The importance of lowering your ego: Real growth happens when you’re open to feedback and change. - Product-market fit isn’t static: Sometimes the best opportunities come from pivoting and listening to your users. - Treat people differently at every level: Nurture your interns, be direct with your C-levels, and always adapt your leadership style. - Breaking the rules (when it’s safe): As a pilot, rules are life-or-death; in startups, breaking the right rules can lead to breakthrough innovation. - Global Perspective: Insights from working with governments and startups in Japan, China, and Spain, how culture shapes business and innovation. Jordi Also explains why he believes in Bitcoin as “freedom of money” and how protocols like Nostr are pioneering “freedom of speech” in the digital age. If you’re a digital nomad, entrepreneur, or just curious about unconventional career paths, Jordi’s story is packed with actionable insights Don’t miss this inspiring conversation.
