But first, let’s get into "The Tea in Tech."

In today’s episode, “How to Escape from the Office: Digital Nomad 101,” Talk Tech to Me welcomes fellow techie and digital nomad Keith Romes. He's here to break down how he transformed from a QA and Content Analyst to a global professional who defines success on his own terms.

We'll explore his radical shift to remote work, unpack the power of digital nomadism, and reveal how you can design a lifestyle that doesn't just pay the bills, but truly fulfills you. Get ready to challenge everything you know about work, travel, and personal freedom.

But first, let’s get into "The Tea in Tech.”

It's a bit of an emotional day as we power down our mics for the last time. With me, as always, are the real heroes of this show: our amazing media coordinator Cameron, our lifesaving board op Khamal, and of course, our fearless executive producer Eman —honestly, this show wouldn't have lasted a week without these three.

For our final episode, we're pulling back the curtain. We'll chat about how tech has changed since we started this crazy journey, share some studio stories we've never told on air, and yeah, we'll probably get a little emo at the end. Whether you've been with us since day one or you just happened to tune in today—thank you. Seriously. Thank you for letting us into your cars, homes, and headphones. Let's make this last hour a good one as we talk tech one last time.” But first, let’s get into "The Tea in Tech.”
