Have you ever dreamed of leaving your 9-5, hitting the road, and building a business on your own terms? In this inspiring episode of the Second Act Success Career Podcast, host Shannon Russell sits down with executive coach and change management consultant Julie Noonan to explore her bold leap from corporate America to full-time RV living.
After a successful career leading transformation at Fortune 500 companies and consulting firms like Ernst & Young, Julie traded in her corner office for life on the open road. She now runs two thriving businesses remotely—while traveling across the U.S. with her husband in their RV.
Julie shares her story of financial planning, navigating change, and building a second act that prioritizes freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment. Plus, she gets real about the challenges of entrepreneurship, remote work, and why the “build your dream life overnight” narrative is often misleading. Listen now to Episode #187 of the podcast to hear Julie's second act success story.
Key Takeaways:
- How to strategically plan your exit from corporate life
- What it really takes to run a business while traveling full-time
- The importance of financial preparation before launching a second act
- Why building a community is essential for entrepreneurs
- How to balance work, freedom, and purpose as a digital nomad
- Why starting over later in life can be your greatest advantage
This episode is packed with honest advice and powerful insights for anyone craving more purpose and freedom in their career.
🎧 Tune in and get inspired to start your second act with intention and courage!
