stories from

borderless

careers

Remote Uncontrolled is for anyone tired of the 9-5 and curious how people actually build a life abroad—outside the usual paths.

A Different Kind of

Expat Story

Remote Uncontrolled is a podcast about people who’ve built legit careers while living abroad. We talk to expats doing interesting things—entrepreneurs, content creators, international school teachers, and others who’ve found a way to live overseas long-term.

 

These aren’t “quit your job and move to Bali” stories or “teach English forever” plans. We focus on unique career paths that offer freedom, purpose, and real income. 

For the Ones Who’ve Always

Wanted Out

We started this podcast because we know what it’s like to feel stuck—wanting to live abroad but thinking it’s out of reach. Maybe you’ve got a family, not enough savings, or a resume that doesn’t “fit.” We’ve been there, and we’ve seen people push through all of that.

 

Our hope is these conversations show you it’s possible. We talk to people from all kinds of backgrounds because the path doesn’t look the same for everyone. If living and traveling abroad with a great career is something you’ve always wanted, we’re here to help you figure it out.
