In the fourth session of the Cubicle Renegade Podcast I chat with Devon Mills of Answering Oliver. I met Devon last year the day before The World Domination Summit and she just got done traveling by herself full-time for three months after leaving her day job. She vagabonded through Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand.

In the fourth session of the Cubicle Renegade Podcast I chat with Devon Mills of Answering Oliver.

I met Devon last year the day before The World Domination Summit and she just got done traveling by herself full-time for three months after leaving her day job. She vagabonded through Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand.

In this episode we discuss how she saved up to fund this trip, why she learned that a cubicle is actually what she prefers, and how she wouldn't trade taking this "professional risk" for anything.
