Sip n' Venture

Today we have someone joining us who is very near and dear to my heart. Someone I have always looked up to growing up- my  sister Rasa. Rasa is 10 years older than me, so I have always looked up to her almost as a second mom figure to me.

Rasa is a mom of two kids while being a  successful business woman. After graduating college with a business degree , she went to work as a recruiter for an agency. After working for a few companies, Rasa learned the ins and outs of recruiting and decided to open her own staffing agency, that she called Peopable.

Yes. If you don’t know how recruiting agencies work, their job is to find people jobs. So usually a company reaches out and lets a recruiter know that they’re looking for this many people to fill these roles, and a recruiter goes out, finds those people,  interviews them, and makes sure they’re the best candidates for that specific position.

Rasa is a true example of following your passion and an example of if you do what you love you’ll end up succeeding.  She was able to take a risk, and start her very own successful recruiting agency while raising two toddlers, and she never lets anything get in her way.

At the age of 23 Natalie Barbu is a definition of a girl boss. She’s a Youtuber, Podcaster, and a business owner living in New York city. After graduating college with an industrial engineering degree Natalie started working for a big consulting company in Charlotte, North Carolina, but soon came to realize that she’s able to make more profit working for herself.

Natalie’s been making YouTube videos ever since she was in high school with content ranging from beauty and fashion hauls to life advice and day in the life vlogs. Over the years she’s accumulated close to 300 hundred thousand subscribers and has worked with numerous well known brands such as Nordstrom, LuluLemon, Neutrogena, and more!

Not only that, Natalie also runs a weekly podcast called the Real Reel Podcast where she showcases real people with real careers and talks to them not only about their highlight reel, but also about their real reel.

As well as Natalie just started her own consulting company - Barbu Agency where she helps people grow their personal brand, start an online business, or better market themselves.

In Episode 13, Natalie lets you know the tips on working for yourself, starting your own business, and shares her path to successfully being her own boss.

Todays episode is super exciting for us because it is one of our closest friends who we have been wanting to have on here for a really long time. We met Ashley Jordan through social media and we all grew really close throughout the years. Ashley thought like most people after high school that her plan was to go to college, however, after being there for a year, she came to realize that this path was not for her. She was brave enough to drop out and follow her heart. Soon after, Ashley grew immensely as a person, started finding her way, got a job, saved money, and even started a blog.

Ashley jordan is truly one of a kind and the epitome of someone who knows how to follow their heart, not mind or whatever society is saying. We cant wait for you guys to tune in so let's get to it!

So today’s episode is super exciting and different. We are collaborating with another awesome podcast that we found right here in our town. Brett, the founder of this podcast, actually went to the same high school as me, and then both went on to study in USC. We knew of each other, but knew that we’d be highlighting people’s stories in life.

Struggle to Sovereignty Podcast is a team of guys who use their platform to unify today's society through lofty ideals and impactful stories. Before starting his senior year in college, Brett wasn't ready to settle in with the rest of society and act like his life was sunshine and rainbows. He made the realization that he wanted to celebrate the daily human struggle, and what better way to do that than through a podcast!

Struggle to Sovereignty is already on their second season, releasing weekly podcasts with guests anywhere from pro athletes, musicians, business owners and much more.
