A few weeks back, we hosted hundreds of listeners of this podcast in Bangkok for our eighth annual DC BKK event.

Every year we learn more about the entrepreneurs that join us in Thailand. We have conversations with some extraordinary people, hear about their successes and their struggles, and get an inside look at the way that internet businesses are being run.

On this week's episode, we are sharing five specific insights that we took away from our experience in Bangkok this year, and discussing what they tell us about the entrepreneurial community at large in 2019.

Listen to this week's show and learn:

  • Whether we are more location-dependent than we realize. (4:22)

  • Why it has never been easier to find cash. (15:26)

  • How people are actually making money on the internet in 2019. (21:52)

  • What happens when you reach "peak consumption". (30:04)

  • Why the entrepreneurial community is willing to have the kinds of conversations that no one else will. (41:50)
