Up Next on Toast Meets Jam – Brittney Castro!

An Interview with Brittney Castro, Founder of Financially Wise Women

Coming up next on Toast Meets Jam… Brittney Castro, founder of Financially Wise Women.

Have you ever found yourself avoiding your bank account, too afraid of what you might find? Crossed your fingers as you’re swiping your credit card at the end of the month, hoping it won’t be declined? Sometimes does it just seem easier to ignore your money and hope for the best than confront it head on? Trust me, I know that feeling!

Brittney is on a mission to change that. She’s out to help women have a healthy relationship with their money so they can start living the life of their dreams. Through her online Money Class, one-on-one financial planning, YouTube channel, and speaking engagements she aims to make financial fear a thing of the past. With a fun, innovative approach to teaching that’s catered to the professional, entrepreneurial woman, she’s turning finance into as sexy a topic as fashion and beauty.

To give me the low down on the founding of her business, Brittney met me at The Springs LA, where I’d filmed an earlier interview with another awesome female founder. We sipped on horchata and fresh pressed juice while she filled me in on the evolution of her business, her advice for other female founders, and how building a business has lead her to the life of her dreams.

Check out this quick peak into our interview and come back next week for the full reveal!

Cheers!

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!

Up Next on Toast Meets Jam – Pace Webb!

An Interview with Pace Webb, chef & lifestyle expert behind Taste of Pace

Coming up next on Toast Meets Jam… Pace Webb, the chef and lifestyle expert behind Taste of Pace.

I remember as clear as day the first time I met Pace. She was decked out in a fantastic yellow print dress and wearing the most “catch-me-if-you-can” color of pink lipstick. I knew I liked her before even getting introduced.

If you’ve ever encountered Pace you know just how irresistible she can be. Her kick-ass outfit drew me in but as soon as we got to talking I could see that her personality was just as colorful. You can’t help but want to hang with this vivacious lady.

Though she earns high marks for her sense of fashion, Pace’s real talents come to life in the kitchen. She is the founder of the catering company Taste of Pace, the host of an invite-only supper club, and a regular TV personality for various food and lifestyle media including Oprah’s OWN Network.

This time around we mixed things up a bit and held our interview at my house in Venice. I wanted to introduce Pace to one of my favorite new brunch spots, Gjusta, but their set-up was less than ideal for filming. Instead, we grabbed a box of pastries to go and brunched take-away style.

Over our baklava croissoints Pace and I talk about the founding of her company, her evolution from chef to TV personality, and why dessert just doesn’t get any better than chocolate cake. Make sure to check back next week to catch the full interview!

Cheers!

An Interview with Kelsey Borlan Lee, founder of The Brand Gals

Coming up next on Toast Meets Jam… Kelsey Borlan Lee, founder of The Brand Gals.

I first met Kelsey at Snap, a photography/Instagram workshop for entrepreneurs. I’d learned about the workshop fittingly through Instagram where I’d been following The Brand Gals. The adoring fan (read Instagram stalker) in me had to get Kelsey on the show to talk about the creation of her beautiful branding company. Luckily for all of us she obliged.

We met up for brunch at Aroma Cafe in Studio City where Kelsey divulged her journey from getting started as a one-woman kids’ photographer to running a multi-faceted team of brand builders. Tune in to Toast Meets Jam next week to catch the full interview, learn more about The Brand Gals, and get a look behind the scenes!

Cheers!
