As reality television super fans, we were very excited to continue our Influencer Wisdom Quarter with Serena Pitt (https://www.instagram.com/serena_pitt/). Serena was a contestant on The Bachelor Season 25 and won Bachelor In Paradise Season 7. Since her reality TV days, Serena is the Founder of @reset_ thelabel (https://www.instagram.com/reset_thelabel/) and is the host of the Bachelor Happy Hour Podcast (https://www.instagram.com/bachelorhappyhour/).After studying communications in college and a stint in the world of PR, Serena entered the world of reality television where she met her husband Joe. Deciding what and what not to post is an ongoing conversation: when the whole world saw your love story unfold, how much access should they be permitted? While some influencers are comfortable posting every aspect of their lives to social media, Serena doesn’t feel the need to post every moment to the grid.As an avid traveler, Serena was inspired to create her own brand, RESET, (https://www.instagram.com/reset_thelabel/) from the need for pieces that are fashion-forward but don’t sacrifice functionality.To learn more about Serena’s career journey, listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts!#SerenaPitt #TheBachelor #BachelorInParadise #RESETTheLabel

We were thrilled to kick off our Influencer Wisdom Quarter with none other than Brittany Lo (https://www.instagram.com/brittany.lo/). Brittany is a beauty expert and influencer that has collabed with brands including Sephora (https://www.instagram.com/sephora/) and American Express (https://www.instagram.com/americanexpress/) and is the Founder and CEO of Beia (https://www.instagram.com/beiabeauty/) and Beautini (https://www.instagram.com/beautini/).Though Brittany’s plan was always to start her own beauty line, (and even had her own mascara line in high school!) her path to being a founder and CEO was anything but predictable. After a college internship at L’Oréal (https://www.instagram.com/lorealusa/), Brittany was on the fast track to the corporate world, but when a TV producer reached out to her about joining the cast of a dating show, she answered the call! Brittany may not have met Mr. Right on the short-lived show Coupled, but she did gain a loyal social media following. With her business acumen and her passion for beauty, Brittany developed Beia (https://www.instagram.com/beiabeauty/) as a vegan skincare brand built on boosting sensual confidence in the bedroom and beyond.To learn more about Britany’s career journey and to hear about the books that Brittany (and our host Jodi) recommend to entrepreneurs, listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts!Episode Reading List:Traction by Gino Wickman (https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/1936661845/ref=asc_df_1936661845/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=343191227008&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5437110096711043282&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004405&hvtargid=pla-434239192493&psc=1&mcid=5e14fff84c8d39348b6422ca6412cfed&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=67797265583&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=343191227008&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5437110096711043282&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004405&hvtargid=pla-434239192493&gclid=CjwKCAjwoPOwBhAeEiwAJuXRh3kkOUTRih8_-s20UMnu1gvL1LFkd2V5NnDHEF6g0l2qZ4Zsd53OIhoC1FQQAvD_BwE) 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan (https://www.amazon.com/10x-Easier-Than-World-Class-Entrepreneurs/dp/140196995X/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=TKJHCH2OVOA4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._MrSlwIS7LZ6ObdzprcT2ygNe8PNsVi404GNzdMfp2HOJPs-EzFVGiusaETY_i3Vi03g5kXp3qUUqLDM_0hCxuhSPTSkd0Ym5Kg3ysFBwbNiM9Q4mGPRl9t3_cyKtKkyJdsFn0E0nTNrrHA0NZLuRCnza0L_q3gbrmp02ab1GyrzvvonBPP7dr7pkuTB0LS4KFJf20y_OIEwomjGILmz_TmsRsM0ejqT9KC9MvpNO0g.XcgLOU-5-D_9otIfP6Rgl1WEZt-nfnO1EpLCNI3iKj4&dib_tag=se&keywords=10x+is+easier+than+2x&qid=1713193658&s=books&sprefix=10x%2Cstripbooks%2C129&sr=1-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1)

We couldn’t think of a better way to close out our C-Suite Wisdom Quarter than chatting with the Founder and CEO of Glowbar (https://www.instagram.com/glowbar/), Rachel Liverman (https://www.instagram.com/rachelista/)! Rachel has wanted to be a leader since her early days playing “store” with her stuffed animals, so it’s no surprise that Glowbar’s signature 30-minute facials have reached cult status since opening their doors in 2019. Rachel always knew she wanted to lead, but she surprised herself when she ended up in the family business. That’s right: Rachel is a third generation esthetician. Growing up in a skincare family, she recalls seeing her mother wax people’s legs and being fascinated by the before & after transformations that occurred. Rachel even started a small leg-waxing business in elementary school! Mom was there to supervise, of course. Fast-forward and Rachel found herself looking for a source for convenient, trustworthy, effective facials and realizing no such place existed. Rachel wrote an email to herself manifesting her business model in 2017 and in 2019 Glowbar opened its doors. Okay, we just gave ourselves chills.  For more of Rachel’s career journey, listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts!

When Deon Libra (https://www.instagram.com/deonlibra_/) Co-Founder and CEO Devin McGhee Kirkland (https://www.instagram.com/devinkielle/)’s  father passed away in 2018 from a stress-related heart attack, she realized she had to make some lifestyle changes to deal with her own stress. After diving head-first into the world of natural stress remedies, Devin developed Deon Libra in 2020 as a way to combat the effects of chronic stress on Black bodies.In her research on natural stress solutions, Devin learned about the healing powers of adaptogens - non-psychedelic mushrooms and was impressed by how much her sleep and anxiety improved. She couldn't help but wonder why these natural alternatives weren’t more widely accessible. Devin decided she could step up and be the one to bring both education and healing-products to her community.To hear more about Devin’ (https://www.instagram.com/devinkielle/)s career journey and Deon Libra (https://www.instagram.com/deonlibra_/)’s mission, listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts!#DeonLibra #WBMB #CareerJourney
