Ailis (pronounced Eye-lease) Garcia was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and fierce dedication. As the daughter of Cuban parents, drive was instilled in her as well as the discipline to go after what you want the most, and keep going until you get it.

More About This Show

Although young in age, Ailis Garcia has accomplished much. She’s the TV host of Dodger Nation and spearheaded the Trojan Tailgate TV show. She also interned with Kim Lyons, who encouraged her to follow her passion for fitness, health and well-being.

The combination of those things led Ailis to form her own enterprise, The Strong Movement, while becoming a professional TV host.

In episode 91, she and I talk about everything from salsa dancing to hosting/broadcasting to fashion. She’s a veritable fountain of experience and exuberance.

The finer details of this show include:

* The origins and the mission of The Strong Movement

* What it’s like being the only female at a sports press junket.

* The correlations between TV hosting and being a solopreneur.

* Was she taken seriously in her profession?

* The importance of having input from accomplished professionals in your field.

Ailis’ journeys are truly solopreneurial: so often, she hasn’t known HOW she was going to accomplish something, just that she was going to accomplish it. You’ll hear how she has set out on a mission without knowing anything beyond her next step - and yet she’s always reached her end goal.

I enjoyed having Ailis on the show and look forward to hearing your takeaways - leave a comment below. What did you learn and what are you going to do from now on thanks to Ailis?
