Our today's guest is Niluka Kavanagh, the Founder of ImagineThat - The Business School for Nomadic Entrepreneurs.

After graduating from Oxford University, Niluka started her career in consulting at KPMG UK in London, working with global brands including Tesco, Mastercard and The London Stock Exchange. 

Nearly 5 years later, she wanted more and decided to embark on an experiment - is it possible to work for yourself and work from anywhere?

During this time, Niluka worked on 2 of her own businesses fully remote while living across the world, including Valencia, Lisbon, Chiang Mai, Istanbul and Da Nang.

She saw that it is possible to work for herself and have location freedom - and saw other professionals like her wanting to do the same, but not knowing how to  begin a location-independent business.  

This led her to create ImagineThat, which helps people start their own high-profit online coaching, consulting or services business.
