That Entrepreneur Life

Join Clint McPherson and guest Viviana Puello, the Founder and CEO of ArtTour International, as they talk about the elements in life that held back and shaped the female artist and entrepreneur's success.

In an industry where artists are seen as bohemians, and creative women are not taken seriously, taking off and forgetting about everybody's doubts catapulted her to witness the reality of the vision she dreamt and now runs. Success is not always about money for Viviana; for her, it is about what you do that connects you to the rest of the whole universe.

About Janis Carmena:

Janis has been a full-time police officer for 15 years until she was injured and could no longer work on the road. Not being able to work as a patrol officer anymore was a life-changing moment, and Janis decided that she needed to reinvent herself and start another career...one that she will be able to control.

With this challenge in mind, Janis discovered eCommerce. Janis began her eCommerce journey with Retail Arbitrage, and then she has launched two private label brands on Amazon, Shopify, and Clickfunnels. The difference between Janis and all the other Amazon sellers is that she is proud to tell people about her brands and the products she sells. Her first brand is #nostrawchallenge, and her second is No Trace Bags.

As a trained teacher before becoming a police officer, Janis has now gone full circle and returned to her roots. She wants to help other women become Ecommerce Queen Bees and take control of their income. She is a true believer that your journey is yours alone, and she is here to help everyone who chooses to take on the eCommerce Journey.
