The Enlightened Entourage, Tourage Episode 12 - Rachel Fournier

When Rachel Fournier was three she told her mother it was "her life" and that she would wear what she wanted- that comment sort of set the direction for her life. Rachel bought an old produce truck and turned it into a clothing store on wheels and continued to grow her brand into what is known now as a Gogarbaj. She has an insatiable appetite for life and believe in experiencing as much as possible. Her purpose is inspiring others to live every day in a way that excites them.

"I try not to take myself too seriously because life is so darn serious. I believe in change, yes changing your underwear, but also changing your mind. It’s okay to not always know, not knowing can inhibit growth. I believe in following your heart and of course your stomach. I tend to go wherever there is good food, and thus far, it has never pointed me in the wrong direction." - Rachel Fournier
