I discovered entrepreneurship and video marketing by accident. Just a few short years ago, I was a dental hygienist, cleaning teeth every day with my head in the clouds, dreaming of how I would leave this nine-to-five, when I had an idea that changed everything for me.

The process wasn’t easy. Most people don't like going to the dentist. So working for one wasn't the most entertaining thing to do every day either. I worked in radio, event management, and even had a short stint as a paparazzi assistant.

The truth is that I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up.

Some people are pretty cranky when they go to the dentist, so it was my goal to make them laugh and if a joke or a story wouldn't work on one patient, I would tweak it and try it for another. It's like split-testing comedy.

I knew that I wanted to reach more people than the one at a time in my dental chair. Being a dental hygienist paid the bills and it was a great option for me until I figured out what my next step was.

Since I was bored, I started doing our dental office’s social media between patients just for fun, just because I knew how. But I had no idea that this little thing I was doing just to pass time was about to be my big break.

Well, in the very first episode of The VIP Code podcast, I am going to tell you how I went from being a dental hygienist to the CEO of my own seven-figure video marketing agency. Stay tuned.
