Thomas Despin is the founder and CEO of Reconnect, a luxury retreat developed on a private island in Indonesia called Buka Buka in an effort for people to reconnect with nature and as a result - themselves and get away from their busy and stressful lifestyles. 

He's also founded 'Hustlers Villa' which connects entrepreneurs and digital nomads in an effort to create a community of people that want to actively collaborate, live on their own terms and give back to the world. 

Finally, he cycled all around the world before moving to Bali where he went from being homeless to building a successful e-commerce business in which he managed to go from 0 to almost a million dollars in sales in just under a year. 

We talk about what it takes to be an entrepreneur, tough lessons learned along the way, whether money actually does bring happiness and much much more. 

Enjoy the interview!
