Helping me kick things off is my first guest, Carla Jara. I think Carla is an excellent representation of what I want to present and deliver to our audience because she’s taken her skills (photography, videography) and created her own career lane by producing content. She has been hustling during these challenging times. And as a content creator, she is not afraid to share her experiences, feelings, and vulnerabilities. On social media, the Filipina creative refers to herself as "Your Music Biz Big Sis." Quite frankly, she lives up to that role by providing resources and tips to aspiring content creators and photographers.   

Stick around as she talks about her professional journey, offers advice, and closes it out by sharing what success means to her.   

UPDATE: Since the interview recording, Carla and co-host Jas have launched the Cracking the Coconut podcast. A podcast centered around the Filipino experience which aim is to bridge the gap between Filipinos and Filipino-Americans. 

Make sure to give Carla a follow on social media.

Lastly, this is the first interview and season; we have been out of work, quite frankly, rusty with our skills, so make sure to only show some love.   

Thank you for getting this far.
