Yvi was educated in business, trained as an electrician, and schooled in the art of hospitality management. By 22, she was running her own pub until a casual comment sparked an epic, international shift in 2007.

Upon landing in California, Yvi started her consulting business Ask Yvi, with PCM as her first associate. Also, she fell in love with and later married the company's founder, Peter Oakes. In 2012, when Peter was diagnosed with cancer, Yvi took over Pacific Crest Media, while maintaining her consulting firm, Ask Yvi. Not only was she Peter's partner in life and work, but she became his caretaker in an up-and-down battle with cancer until Peter's death in 2014. Juggling all of this propelled Yvi into becoming the passionate Business Streamliner and Automation Addict she is now, so other small business owners and entrepreneurs create businesses that can withstand anything, including cancer. 

If you're someone who procrastinates via overthinking, talks yourself out of making decisions, and thinks taking breaks are for wimps, you won't want to miss this episode.
