Episode Summary

What do you do when life suddenly forces you to change direction?

After being sacked from his job for turning up late — even though he’d pre-booked the time off — Sotiris Bassakaropoulos had to find another way to support himself and his family. That experience pushed him into the world of online entrepreneurship.

Today, Sotiris is passionate about helping others make money online and protect the digital assets they create through their content and businesses.

In this open, insightful conversation, Karen Newton and Sotiris discover they began their online journeys at the same time but took very different paths. They share the lessons learned, the obstacles faced, and how they’ve both built sustainable businesses that keep evolving with the times.

• How a setback can become the start of a whole new career.
• Why protecting your online assets matters more than ever.
• Common challenges online entrepreneurs face (and how to overcome them).
• The mindset shift required to stay consistent in business.
• How different approaches to marketing can still lead to lasting success.

“Sometimes the moment that feels like failure is really the moment life forces you to find your true direction.” — Karen Newton
