I am absolutely thrilled to share my conversation with the remarkable Vanessa Cartwright, a powerhouse in the marketing and agency world who has navigated multiple countries, career pivots, and life transitions while building lasting wealth. In this candid conversation, Vanessa takes us through her incredible journey from rural England to London, Vancouver, and New York, revealing how she's created financial security through strategic property investments, calculated career moves, and most recently, her bold transition from C-suite executive to independent consultant.

Vanessa gets incredibly honest about the realities of divorce, single motherhood, and the financial pressures of planning for children's education in the US. She also shares her creative approach to wealth building through remote Airbnb property management and her current life chapter of choosing autonomy over traditional corporate security. This conversation is packed with insights for anyone considering major life transitions or looking to build wealth across borders.

Key Topics:

  1. Moving countries without a job lined up

  2. Building wealth through international property investments

  3. Managing finances through divorce as the primary earner

  4. Running an Airbnb remotely while climbing the corporate ladder

  5. Walking away from C-suite security to choose freedom

  6. The hidden isolation of senior leadership roles

  7. Selling your primary home to buy back your options
