A lot of people say, I want to go to Italy, I want to go to Tuscany, I want to live there and then they get here and they’re like, oh, I didn’t realize it was going to be so hard. Yes it is hard, and a lot of times I just trudged along anyway and I did it and I think it was just the pure positive energy of I’m going to get this done. Donna Scharnagl
What happens when you truly stumble upon your destiny, when life gives you an opportunity, you seize it and end up somewhere you never imagined you would be? That’s the story of my guest this week, Donna Scharnagl, a fellow US expat in Tuscany and Independent SEO Consultant who helps business owners, success-driven individuals and solo entrepreneurs use tech skills and digital online tools confidently and successfully.

Tune in to hear more about Donna’s excellent work, her amazing personal narrative, and how she creatively and tirelessly pivoted to forge a solid path for success.
