I'm Angie Carrillo, serial entrepreneur, investor, world traveler. Thanks for being here. This blog started in Silicon Valley when I got 'asked to leave' from my own venture backed company.
I thought my business was 'my baby'. A business that was supposed to bring me freedom was pulling me away from the life I wanted.
Overworked, underpaid, and with the dream of 'being my own boss', I felt like in a long distance relationship with freedom even when the accolades, awards were there.
I paid expensive real life lessons so you don't have to...
Went from being a broke "CEO" not being able to pay myself, fired from my own company to designing my life
My bucket list was filled with beautiful destinations I'd visit one day when achieving financial freedom. But that seemed only possible when I retire.
I decided to start experimenting with different options to take matters into my own hands because in the end no one cares more about how you live your life than yourself.
FINDING INSPIRATION FROM
Slow mornings, the beach, local cafe's and unapologetic self-care.
World citizen, Angie brings a Silicon Valley trained business and marketing background to the online world.
Wanna know what lights me up? Making people feel, own, and celebrate their freedom to be themselves and feel enough. Sometimes this journey is like a rollercoaster and if I can be that permission granter that whispers: “you can do this” while the rest of the world is provoking a feeling of not being enough for not getting to a certain # of followers, or $ in your bank account, then I’ll consider my job done.
LOVES: beach, travel, startups

Straight talk, enjoying life now, being in the beach, travel, and local cafes, short emails.
The hustle culture, long emails, sleezy sales tactics, bullsh*t, band-aid fixes, boring anything.
I have a branding studio specialized in web design for personal brands and businesses. If you don't want to deal with tech we build it for you.
In a world where you can be anything, be the brand that’s YOU. As a marketer I specialize in affiliate and influencer marketing to turn your business into a brand with raving fans.
Being location independent is great but working remotely could become not half as glamours with deadlines and lousy internet. Read about my stories and recommendations on the blog.

We are all global citizens! It doesn't matter if you have checked off countries on your bucket list or if you speak many languages. We only have one world to live in. That is why I care about sustainable products and you should too.
I am a citizen of the world. I was born in Peru and have reside in 4 other countries. I speak 4 languages and have visited over 40 countries. But since I was old enough to talk, I would always ask why there are borders on a map if it's all one planet.
