Sian Simpson is Director of Community and Content at Kiwi Landing Pad, an organisation that supports entrepreneurs and companies through the journey from an idea to building a global business.In this episode of Success Stories, Sian reconnects with Catherine Robson over Skype to chat about her pathway to becoming location independent, how she sells her array of experience (there's a lot) and how personal loss has formed her outlook on personal and professional development.

One day when working on an online marketplace entrepreneur Holly Cardew was trying to get some imagery clear-cut onto a white background. Unless you’re a bit of a photoshop whizz, that is a real mission. Holly thought that if this was a problem for her it probably was for others looking to make a professional site, and that insight has led to her successful online enterprise pixc. The demand was out there, and the business has led Holly to startup incubators, being named on the Forbes 30 under 30, and to New Zealand, where she is part of techweek and the sales and marketing jams that the Kiwi Landing Pad makes happen.
