    Gabrielle Judge, also known by her online handle "Anti Work Girlboss," is a former tech worker turned content creator who champions a new approach to work. Disillusioned with the traditional 9-to-5 grind, Judge left her tech industry job to focus on achieving work-life balance and financial freedom through alternative income streams.
    Judge has become a social media personality known for promoting the concept of "lazy girl jobs." These are methods for making money that don't require the long hours and intense commitment often associated with corporate careers.  She shares her insights and strategies – from side hustles to building a remote career –  across various platforms, including TikTok and LinkedIn. By encouraging others to reconsider the traditional work model, Judge has carved a niche for herself as an advocate for creating a more flexible and fulfilling work life.

Raw and Real

Really like listening to Scott’s podcast as it comes across very authentic, raw and real.

Dan Grech ,

Scott is a great human (and an even better podcaster)

I met Scott at a gathering of top entrepreneurs and business owners, and I was taken by his openness and willingness to teach and support other entrepreneurs like me. I dove into his podcast and learned from Scott and some of the best business minds who share their moments of failure and lessons for success. This has my highest recommendation for anyone interested in learning how to run a better business owner
