EPISODE 603 - Shannon Russell - Second Act Success - Leave unfulfilling careers to build joyful, purpose-driven businesses
I spent over 16 years as a Television Producer overseeing multi-million dollar productions in New York City and Los Angeles working for companies like MTV, E! Entertainment, Yahoo!, Pop Sugar, A&E, TLC, etc.
My second act began once I leapt into entrepreneurship and opened a franchise business serving families in my community, so I could be more present mom for my two kids. My business quickly grew to be amongst the Top 5 in the organization, and I successfully sold this business in 2024.
While running my first business, I started Second Act Success® Coaching so I could help support women as they start a second act in life by changing careers to start a business.
My focus as a business coach for women is to help others produce their best life, while finding the flexibility, freedom, and fulfillment they deserve.
Now, I share my experience, as a television executive turned business owner with my clients, as we work towards their business goals.
