Matthew McGowan's journey from a planned one-month backpacking trip to a decade-long stay in Thailand highlights his evolution from an English teacher to an entrepreneur and no-code bootcamp instructor. Originally from the Northeastern USA, Matthew embraced Thailand's laid-back culture, leading him to start a backpacker hostel in Bangkok and eventually discover the no-code platform Bubble in 2018. Motivated by the lack of technical expertise and capital to build a tech startup, he turned to Bubble, which allowed him to create and sell templates, offer private training, and begin teaching bootcamps. Through his experiences in Thailand, he has balanced entrepreneurial ventures with personal life, caring for stray dogs and running a small pig farm with his wife. Matthew's story underscores his adaptability and passion for helping others achieve their goals, as illustrated by his contributions to the Bubble Forum and his teaching endeavors, all rooted in the advice he received from a Guru to "stop planning and just do it."
