In this episode of The Ronin Mindset, I sit down with Marissa Rodriguez, a powerhouse fractional CMO and ecommerce expert who left the fast-paced world of NYC behind for a slower, more fulfilling life in Greece.

After overseeing over $100 million in ecommerce sales and launching countless brands, Marissa built her own course on making money online. But it wasn’t just business success that transformed her life—it was a solo trip to Greece in 2021 that changed everything.

Originally planned as a vacation for a friend’s birthday, Marissa never returned to the U.S. Instead, she embraced a new way of living, learning to enjoy her own company, appreciating life’s slower moments, and setting a goal to visit all 278 inhabited Greek islands.

What We Cover in This Episode:

✅ How the pandemic forced her to rethink her life in NYC

✅ Learning to enjoy being alone and discovering deeper self-awareness

✅ The power of slowing down and being present through travel

✅ How working remotely from Greece benefits her business and clients

✅ Why she has zero plans to return to the U.S.

Marissa’s story is proof that success isn’t just about money—it’s about designing a life you love.
