Daisi Pollard Sepulveda Shares Entrepreneurship Journey on VoyageLA Podcast

October 22, 2023

As a modelpreneur, I am always looking for opportunities to share my experiences building businesses as a model. Recently, I was a guest on the VoyageLA podcast to discuss entrepreneurship in Southern California alongside other local entrepreneurs.

Modelpreneur Interview on Being an Entrepreneur in LA

The VoyageLA podcast focuses on profiling entrepreneurs and small business owners in the Los Angeles and SoCal areas. I was thrilled to be invited along with other company founders to discuss what it’s like building a business in this market as a modelpreneur. As someone who has founded multiple companies while continuing my modeling career, I enjoyed sharing insights on leveraging my skills and platform.

During the interview, I talked about how I define being a modelpreneur as identifying unique opportunities that come from my modeling career and using those to create business ventures. Some of the topics we dove into included how I launched my first company, challenges of being an entrepreneur while traveling for work, and advice for others looking to start their own business as a creative professional.

Key Takeaways from the Podcast Discussion

The panel discussion provided some great entrepreneurship advice and takeaways. Here are a few of the most important things I discussed during my segment:

  • How to turn passions and skills into business opportunities
  • Challenges of running multiple companies while modeling internationally
  • Importance of utilizing your platform and network as an entrepreneur
  • Tips for overcoming fears of self-promotion and developing your personal brand

Listen to the Full Interview

Even as a sassy little thing chasing waves, I always knew I was destined to fuck shit up. 👸🏽
�

While others may have just seen a flighty carefree girl at play, I always had a fire and unshakeable belief in my own brilliance. I understood, even then, that people see what they want to see and project their ideas around gender and  presumptions of potential outward when  really what they believe is a reflection of how they feel about themselves. �
���

Fast forward many successful years and here I am - proving time and time again that you can be gritty AF with a smile. Ultra-feminine does equate to soft. Silliness doesn’t mean dumb. Friendly doesn’t mean nice. �

��T�here’s no limit to what you can achieve.  Don’t settle for anything less than YOU were decide to be. ✨�
