LIVE from Mongolia: From Wall Street Banker to Mongolian News Anchor

MANHATTAN, N.Y. - Nov. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- “It takes a lot of moxie to walk away from a high-paying job on Wall Street to pursue a dream and Patricia Sexton has moxie to spare.”

~Devan Sipher, writer for The New York Times

LIVE from Mongolia: From Wall Street Banker to Mongolian News Anchor (Beaufort Books, available October 2013) by Patricia Sexton. Patricia was hired as an analyst trainee for Salomon Brothers fresh out of college, a dream job, and better still, one that had the potential to earn “big bucks.” Yet while the big bucks began to flow, Patricia was nagged by an aching in her heart that kept saying, “This isn’t it.” Ultimately, she made a decision that changed the rest of her life.

LIVE from Mongolia is a memoir of Patricia’s unlikely journey from Wall Street to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia where she ended up anchoring the Mongolian national news. In her roles as anchor, reporter, and traveler Patricia met with nomads, a shaman, Mongolian-style yodelers, hip-hop stars, and even child jockeys. As an American reporting on Mongolian TV, she saw and experienced slices of life few of us could ever imagine.

“I knew almost nothing about a career in journalism, and even less about Mongolia, but right then, the only thing that mattered to me was finally taking a leap of faith. I had been standing on the edge of my own cliff for years, peering down into what could be my future, but always turning back to the safety of the known. This time, I promised myself, would be different.”
