Episode #023: Natalie Sisson, Author of The Suitcase Entrepreneur

Natalie SissonIt’s hard not to admire Natalie Sisson. After 8 years working her way up the corporate ladder and succeeding in nearly everything she put her hand to, she decided it was time to leave.

Needless to say, many of her friends said she was nuts. Who does that after all? Well, Natalie does. And she hasn’t regretted it once.

Natalie has since developed a knack for doing what she loves from wherever she wants to do it. And now she specializes in helping other people do that as well.

The first time I heard the name Pat Flynn (just a few months ago) he came up three times in a single week. There was a friend, a blog and a podcast all referencing this guy. I had to find out who he was and why he was so important.
