In this episode, Nikki Arensman and Remi Aliseo - sisters, entrepreneurs, and the creative forces behind Thirdeye Studio - share how community and authentic connection have shaped every step of their business journey.

From launching a clothing line in their early twenties to building a go-to destination for tattoos, microblading, piercing, and permanent jewelry, Nikki and Remi open up about the lessons, pivots, and wins that come from learning as you go and trusting your instinct.

You’ll hear candid stories about their early days seeking mentorship, the challenges and rewards of growing a brick-and-mortar business, and how listening to client demand led them to expand into new services and revenue streams - most notably, by offering permanent jewelry using the industry-leading Sunstone welder.

Whether you’re dreaming of your own studio, looking to add new revenue streams, or simply craving an honest conversation about what it really takes to build a business with heart, this episode is packed with actionable insights and real talk.
