In this in-person episode, Palle Bo meets Steve Tietze at his new office in Chiang Mai's Nimman neighbourhood. They begin by exploring why Chiang Mai remains one of the world's strongest digital nomad hubs – from its surrounding nature and affordable lifestyle to its unusually active community of entrepreneurs, artists and technology enthusiasts. Steve then takes us back to the early days of 3D video games, when portfolios were delivered on VHS tapes and floppy disks. He shares how he worked on the early development of Duke Nukem 3D, collaborated closely with the creators of Doom and co-founded Nihilistic Software, where a small team created Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption. Today, Steve combines several very different careers. He works remotely as a fractional CTO for two companies, while also creating surreal AI visuals, music videos and large-scale projection-mapping installations through Dreaming Computers. His work has appeared behind DJs at major venues, on an enormous pyramid at Burning Man, across iconic buildings in San Francisco and on 50-foot statues in Koh Samui. Steve also explains why he deliberately reduced his working week after years of working 60–80 hours. Living in Chiang Mai allows him to spend less, work around 30 hours a week and leave more time for friendships, creative projects and spontaneous scooter trips into the mountains. This is a conversation about technological reinvention, creative curiosity and building a nomad career that supports your life instead of consuming it.
