At age 11 Maria Sansone quickly earned the title, "The Youngest Reporter in the History of Network Television" and soon found herself interviewing sports legends like Michael Jordan when most kids her age had yet to hit puberty.  Her meteoric rise put some strain on her adolescent years, causing her to leave the business through High School.  But junior year of college, she won a Nation-wide search to guest host with Regis Philbin on Live with Regis and Kelly and her career was reignited, eventually leading to a long-standing gig co-hosting the popular morning news show, Good Day LA.  But nothing is without hiccups, so Maria's eventual shift into motherhood led to her search to build a business that supports her top priorities.  She leaves tons of clues for the rest of us on how she's begun to build a successful brand on social media.
