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

Following an unlikely journey from an investment bank on Wall Street to a news anchor in Mongolia.

In 2006, Patricia Sexton set out on an adventure most of us have only fantasized about--she quit her job to pursue her dream. Thirty years old and a rising star at a Wall Street investment bank, Patricia realized she wanted nothing more than to work as a foreign correspondent. So, she did just that. After landing an internship at a national TV station, she made the move to Mongolia.

In the midst of being promoted to anchor of the Mongolian news, Patricia had the opportunity to meet unique people following their own unique dreams: a Mongolian hip-hop star who worked in London restaurants to make ends meet, or the French corporate exec now tracking endangered horses in the steppe. All the while, Patricia is living with Mongolian Mormons, camping with nomads in the Gobi desert, and even crashing Genghis Khan’s 800th anniversary party.

Live from Mongolia is the story of this ongoing journey: from a corporate career, to a dream job Patricia only imagined.

After nearly a decade in banking, Patricia Sexton decided to pursue her life’s dream to work in television as a foreign correspondent. She moved to Mongolia and anchored the English News. Patricia is the host of Sinovision’s WE Talk, a talk show profiling people who pursue their passion. She has worked for CBS News, Britain’s International Life, and she writes LIVE from Mongolia!, a weekly blog about people who follow their dreams. Along with her Director, she founded Morpheus Pictures, a production company dedicated to telling stories of people living passionate lives in the most far-flung places in the world. Patricia lives with her husband and daughter--commuting from their new home in New Zealand to her old home in New York City.
