About Rachel:For Rachel Mae Furman, the love of detailing her life in photos began back before the digital age. Obsessed with nostalgia yet unable to ever keep a good journal habit, Rachel thought it would be fun to take one photo per day with her film camera to remember her everyday adventures. Way before social media, she loved the feeling of anticipation dropping the film off at the drug store and remembering what she did in photos.
Around this time, Rachel began a marketing and PR company with bars and restaurants as clients. Bored with the idea of traditional ads or press releases, she started her own website called Rachel's Guide, a where to go and what to do in the city. Paid on retainer by her clients, she created what they called a "manipulatable template website" on a new thing called Wordpress. Rachel got paid to go out and take photos, then post them on her website in fun stories. She coined this term "Reality Marketing."
Soon after, this word called "Blog" started floating around, Friendster got overshadowed by a new app called MySpace, and Facebook thereafter. Once everyone and their mother started posting every detail of their life and their dinner, the whole "template website" things wasn't quite as dazzling anymore.
So, bored with everything, Rachel did the only thing that made sense... she sold all of her furniture, bought a 1973 Airstream camper, traded in her Jetta for a Ford F150 and traveled around the country solo for a few months. (Because, duh.) That love of freedom and adventure has never stopped, and Rachel attempts to live her life in California as a never-ending road trip.
After 15+ years of building brands in between (or during) travel adventures, Rachel considers herself a Brand Documentarian, building a brand look and lifestyle through stories, photos, and experiences. She now lives in the little mountain town of Idyllwild, creating brand content, hosting branding retreats and helping clients figure out what the hell they’re doing and how to project it with her Personal Brand Coaching program BRAND x SPIRIT.

BRA Network is a virtual and physical space designed for women to come together and advocate for each other, converse, hire and advance their side hustle into a full blown flourishing business.

What began as a circle of entrepreneurs seeking community, support and business growth, Carrie quickly realized female entrepreneurs had nowhere to turn but each other for answers when it came to frustrations and celebrations within their business. So what started out as casual dinner parties at her house, morphed into fruitful networking sessions as more and more women outside her immediate circle wanted in. At first, they would come together monthly, and then weekly to discuss all things business. It was through sharing their own personal experiences and providing advice, education and support to one another that they found a like-minded community of women who shared the same vision. From those dinners, BRA - Business Relationship Alliance - was born.

About Jan:
Jan McCarthy is an Artist, Creative Developer, Podcast Host, Author, and Small Business Coach.
In art and business, Jan believes in blending the left and right brain to achieve the most comprehensive expression, and everything she creates from paintings, sketches, books, brushes, towers, workshops or events are inspired by real-life visuals.
She's constantly deciphering and incorporating the abstract part of life in her work with the intent to evoke emotion, bring together community, unleash the imagination, stir thoughtful reflection and give way to images of something meaningful, often hidden in between the layers of mixed media, life, and other materials.
Art and business go hand in hand so when Jan puts on workshops, classes, retreats, and events she often pairs the two together because she loves helping entrepreneurs, professionals, artists and other creatives explore their hidden talents and curiosity through meaningful and fun interactive artistic sessions.
Jan was born into an entrepreneurial creative family and grew up to marry an entrepreneur. They had two daughters who are now grown and are also entrepreneurs. This influences Jan's art as does her obsession with traveling and adventure, creating community, hanging out with family and friends in thoughtful and interesting conversation over great food and drink in a fabulous location. She's lucky to embrace a dual lifestyle, splitting her time between an urban loft in downtown Los Angeles and her ranch in Boulder, CO and those diverse and abstract lifestyles filter their way into her art.

Emily McDonald, Founder and CEO of The Stylist LA has spent the last nine years finding new elements of running her business to get excited about, going from launching The Stylist LA out of her living room in 2009 to dedicating herself to working on her business and not in her business in 2018.
In this episode, Emily shares with us where the idea for The Stylist LA came from, how the company's grown alongside her, and how she keeps from ever getting bored with the business year after year.
ABOUT EMILY:
Emily McDonald, Founder & CEO of The Stylist LA always knew she wanted to have her own company, and she attended USC for college mainly because of their entrepreneurship program.

Most people won't stay in the same type of role for their entire career, but knowing what to switch to and figuring out how to do it can quickly leave us with paralysis by analysis. Erin Williams began her career chasing the Hollywood dream of acting, but after falling out of love with the industry and getting sick of going on audition after audition, she discovered a more appealing career path in the wine industry.
Although switching from acting to wine seems like a less-than-obvious leap, Erin found ways to learn as much as she could about this new topic, gain valuable experience taking whatever roles necessary, and ultimately landed an amazing job slightly out of her league by showcasing her charisma, drive, and ability to meet people on their level.
About Erin: Erin Williams was born and raised in the village of Memphis, NE population 115. She spent the first three years of her education in a two-room schoolhouse and realizes that that makes her sound way older than she is.
After college at Drake University, Erin found herself in the sunny city of Los Angeles, where she pursued acting initially and then found herself drawn to the siren call of the wine industry. She's now been selling wine for ten years working as a distributor and winery sales manager for J. Lohr Winery and completed her Wine and Spirit Education Trust Diploma of Wine in 2014.
Erin currently resides in Denver, Colorado where she reps a full book ranging from $6 South American wine to $1,000 dollar bottles of Burgundy. She recently got her first dog and feels like it is as good as everyone said it would be.

"I'm really not happy with my career but I feel super overwhelmed with all the things I need to do in order to make a change happen. The whole thing feels too huge/not possible for me."
I've been there: Paralysis by analysis. Overwhelm. Frustration. Confusion. Knowing you should make a change in your career and actually making that change are two very different things. We often hold ourselves back from moving toward a career we want because we don't feel prepared enough to make all the moves necessary to get there.
In this solo episode, I go over some of the big excuses we come up with for why we're not ready to make a move in our career and offer up some solutions for dealing with those excuses. Whether it's not feeling like you have the right skills, deciding that the time it'd take to get to your dream job is too much, or thinking that you have to know every single step between where you are today and where you want to be, I've got you.
One day today will be twenty years ago, the best time to start working toward a career you love is now.
How did a woman with a Master's Degree in Engineering go from working on Wall Street to launching her own Ayurvedic Beauty line? You'll hear exactly how on today's episode with Michelle Ranavat, CEO & Founder of Ranavat Botanics, a luxury skincare line inspired by ancient Indian traditions. Michelle shares how the impending financial collapse of 2008 caused her to unexpectedly switch career paths, and how that "disaster" led to her having some of the happiest years of her career.
About Michelle: Michelle Ranavat was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin and grew up in a suburb of Chicago, IL. She studied Industrial Engineering for her Bachelor's degree and went on to get a Master's degree in Engineering Management. Michelle began her career working on Wall Street at Lehman Brothers after graduation, but with the financial collapse in 2008 she landed in the family business, a pharmaceutical raw materials company leading the sales efforts. It was at that job that Michelle learned so much about ingredients and what quality means, so when mixing up her own beauty treatments passed down from her family years later she realized there was a huge gap in the quality standards for these products. This led to her launching Ranavat Botanics, a luxury skincare line inspired by ancient Indian traditions in August of 2017.
