All boats ride on a rising tide- Rising Tide Podcast
Our special guest this week on Rising Tide Startups is none other than Michelle Coulson, CEO and Founder of Remote Rebellion. Michelle has made it her mission to help people design a life filled with freedom and flexibility by finding fully remote jobs that can be done from anywhere in the world.
Michelle’s journey to founding Remote Rebellion is inspiring. Originally from the UK, she spent over nine years working in recruitment, where she specialized in placing candidates across various fields like Marketing, Technology, Digital, Administration, and Design. However, after years of the daily grind in the office, she grew tired of the rigid 9-5 office culture and the bustling city life of London. Eager to find a new path, she took a leap of faith, trading her city life for the beautiful beaches and tranquil lifestyle of Bali. This move transformed her perspective and ultimately led her to pursue remote work full-time, helping others achieve the same.
With her extensive background, Michelle has reviewed thousands of CVs and resumes, interviewed countless candidates, and helped hundreds land jobs in diverse fields. This wealth of experience gives her unique insights into what makes a job application stand out. She knows the nuances of building an appealing resume, writing a captivating cover letter, and making a memorable impression in interviews. Through Remote Rebellion, Michelle shares these insights and techniques to help people not only secure remote jobs but find roles that align with their personal values and lifestyle dreams.
While Michelle’s life in Bali may seem idyllic, she recognizes that everyone's dream is different. For some, it might be the beaches of Bali, but for others, it could be a mountain cabin, a vibrant city, or simply more time with family and friends. Michelle’s focus is on helping people identify what truly matters to them and guiding them to make it happen. By combining her firsthand experience in remote work with her recruitment expertise, she empowers people to pursue their own unique vision of freedom.
In her Rising Tide Startups interview, Michelle opens up about her entrepreneurial journey, her insights into the remote job market, and her passion for empowering others.

The company is dedicated to providing guidance, resources, and support for those looking to transition out of traditional office jobs and into fulfilling remote roles.
