    Up Next on Toast Meets Jam – Rachael King!

    An Interview with Rachael King, Head of Communications for DogVacay

    Coming up next on Toast Meets Jam… Rachael King,  the Head of Communications for DogVacay.

    The goal of Toast Meets Jam is to inspire and empower you to pursue your passions. Often this means stepping out on your own and building your vision from the ground up rather than following a traditional career path. For this reason, most of the interview guest are female entrepreneurs.

    On this episode of Toast Meets Jam however, I interview a guest who’s entrepreneurial spirit has taken her a different route. Rachael King is the Head of Communications for DogVacay, one of today’s hottest startups. It’s a role that she enthusiastically refers to as her dream job, as would many young women who’s interests also lie in the industry. Though her journey did not lead her to building her own business, it is one of an entrepreneur none the less.

    From sitting behind a desk at a lackluster administrative job to competing to become MTV’s first Twitter Jockey to building the famous “Pinterest Resume”, Rachael’s pursuit of her passion is quite the unique tale. Check back in to catch our conversation over green juices and avocado toasts at Gracias Madre.

    For anyone who wants to find their way into a career in social media, this is an interview not to be missed!

    Cheers!

    An Interview with the Co-founders of Vrai & Oro

    Learning to Live Authentic with the founders of Vrai & Oro

    “Be true to the way you are and live in a way that makes you feel good. Live in the moment in a way that makes the next even better.”

    One of the thing that most excites me about leading The Single Diaries is that it has been an incredible way to get to connect with other entrepreneurial young women. The more time we spend growing the site, the more women we come across with inspiring stories to tell. From starting their own yoga practices to traveling the world volunteering to building their own companies, we have been able to use the site to tell some pretty amazing stories from our Single Girls.  It is my hope that not only does our site help to spread the word about the work they are doing but also inspires you, our readers, to go after whatever it is that you are most passionate about. At the end of the day our mission is to help you be authentically you and to provide you with the advice to help you live the life you want to lead.

    The latest Single Girls I had the pleasure of sitting down with have built a company around that same vision. Vanessa and Chelsea are the leading ladies behind the just-launched jewelry site Vrai & Oro. Their brand promise is to bring you fine jewelry without the markups but their purpose goes much deeper.

    I sat down with these two to learn more about the lifestyle of authenticity they hope to inspire through their high-quality jewelry and to learn more about the journey that has led these two young women on a mission to disrupt the long-standing jewelry industry.

    The PR Maven | An Interview with Vilte Co. Founder Vilte Holstad

    Paris, PR, & Paving Your Own Way with VilteCo. Founder Vilte S. Holstad

    In this episode of Toast Meets Jam I caught up with Vilte S. Holstad, the founder behind the PR creative VilteCo. Our brunch of choice was Sunny Spot, a favorite of ours here in Venice. As we dug into our delish dishes, she took me on her journey from moving to Paris to founding her own PR company.

    After graduating from college with a degree in design, Vilte began working in various PR roles both with small and large brands. Her desire to expand into other aspects of the industry drew her to Paris where she worked with a French designer and covered Paris Fashion Week.Upon Vilte’s return to the states, it didn’t take long for her to realize she was ready to step out on her own. It was then that the idea for VilteCo. first came to life.

     

    VilteCo. is a boutique PR creative with a focus on traditional outreach, social media management, and blogger placement. Though open to companies of all sizes, the creative is especially drawn to working with startups in the LA area.
    To learn more about Vilte and her PR creative make sure to check her out at www.vilteco.com.
