Matt Bowles is your typical Irish-American hip hop DJ turned human rights activist turned location-independent entrepreneur turned minimalist world-traveler and podcaster.
He has a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a Master’s Degree in International Peace and Conflict Resolution. In 2007 he left his job and co-founded Maverick Investor Group as a fully remote real estate brokerage that helps people buy turnkey rental properties in the best U.S. markets from anywhere. Since 2013 he has been a full time digital nomad, traveling the world with no base, and has run his business remotely from over 65 countries on 6 continents.
He is also the host of The Maverick Show podcast where he interviews today’s most interesting world travelers and digital nomads from every continent. His guests share their personal journey to location independence, their most epic travel stories, as well as their reflections on identity, the power dynamics that shape our world, and how we can be more thoughtful, conscious travelers as we move through it. With listeners in 193 countries, The Maverick Show was ranked the #1 Digital Nomad Podcast by Web Work Travel, and the Top 1% of all Podcasts by Listen Notes. In 2024 The Maverick Show hit the Top 100 on Apple Podcasts, and was ranked the #1 “Places and Travel” podcast on Apple.
Excited to connect with other travelers!
