Kristine and Colleen chat with Patrika Alis Cheston, a marketing and sales strategist who’s anything but conventional. Patrika walks us through her winding career path—from studying education and journalism to leading strategy for startups and founding her own ventures, Roundology and Outsource SDR.

She opens up about the power of internships, why it’s okay to pivot (again and again), and how recognizing misaligned values at work pushed her to build a career on her own terms.

Plus, we dive into her love for solo travel, how she finds joy in off-the-beaten-path destinations, and what it really looks like to embrace your personal and professional squiggle.
