We discuss her new business which is called www.riseremotely.com, which is a resource for digital nomads where they can buy individual courses about a specific thing like proposals and pitch guides. How to collaborate matching your mindset, as well as things like one-on-one mentorship coaching with experts and people who are in certain areas, as well as live online courses. 

It was a really interesting interview, it’s quite a cool idea to have a marketplace for different types of pathways into remote work. Everybody's experience is going to be different, the path I walk is very different from how Christina walks it and might be very different from how you're planning on doing it.
