My guest today is Sonjia “Lioness” Mackey, a powerful and dynamic keynote speaker; two-time Amazon best-selling author; purpose-to-profit life coach; and mindset master (“I
Eat Fear for Breakfast!”). However, she is most proud of being a laptop freedompreneur and an epic escape artist! Sonjia escaped the corporate chains of mediocrity in May 2016 to live her dream as a location-independent global citizen and digital nomad – living, working, and playing anywhere her wanderlust takes her. To date, those desires have taken her to all 50 states and 79 countries across all 7 continents!

Sonjia’s career history includes more than 20 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, working for Fortune Global “Top 10” companies Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell in various business functions such as internal auditing, financial analysis, risk management, contracting and procurement, and global supply management. 

Before embarking on her own entrepreneurial journey, Sonjia realized she needed location independence and took the scary leap to ask her employer if she could work remotely! She tells us all about it in today's episode!

I so often hear that people want a remote job, but they tend to treat this job search like any other, using the usual players like Indeed and LinkedIn. It's a lot easier to get your job search started than you may think!
