This week on See It To Be It, we talk to Hannah Rad, an On-Air Talent, Radio Host, DJ and Mental Health advocate. Hannah shares her story of growing up in a small town outside of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and always wanted to be on the radio. She decided from a very young age that she needed to move New York in order to fulfill her dreams of becoming a DJ and TV Host. She studied at a college in New York and after graduating, she got a job in design and started campaigning her portfolio to become an on-air talent. Puff Daddy discovered her about five years ago and asked if she would be interested in doing some TV work. She became one of the original hosts on his network and eventually was able to executive produce her own show for five seasons. After spending 15 years in New York, Hannah decided it was time for a change. She moved to LA and discovered that even though she had tons of experience, she would have to break into the industry again in her new city. Hannah admits she was a bit overconfident and didn't realize how hard it would be to reintegrate into her career and gain new connections. She started to experience a lot of depression and anxiety from in-between gigs and trying to find her next big thing. Hannah had an epiphany and thought she could actually create something beautiful out of all her heavy feelings. She created a mini series called, "Sorry to Keep You Waiting," which focuses on her mental health journey as she drives around to seven different locations in California. Each of the locations matches the struggle she faced and how she conquered it. She hopes that this series will make people aware about how important mental health is and explore the many different ways that have helped her in her own journey.

Food Stamps to Farmbox Direct: Ashley Tryner's Journey to Becoming the CEO of an Online Produce Company

This week on See It To Be It, we talk to Jane Ko, the mastermind behind A Taste of Koko, a food and travel blog based out of Austin, Texas. From humble beginnings in a small town in south Texas, her biggest inspiration in life was to become a librarian. She moved to Austin in 2007, originally to pursue becoming a doctor at University of Texas. She shortly realized that was not for her and decided blogging in 2010 as a creative outlet. She originally only posted recipes on her blog and after two years with zero readership, a local restaurant reached out to her, asking her to promote their business. From there, it kept snowballing and A Taste of Koko was truly born. She said she isn't sure when the narrative changed from sharing restaurants and chef's stories, to her own... as this was never her intention. Jane talks about work before becoming a full-time blogger and that it was never her intention to become an influencer. During Huricane Harvey and now COVID-19 she has been able to impact the community by helping restaurants and small businesses to get their numbers, pivot to takeout and help raise money for the restaurant economy. Jane also touches on how travel industry has now changed and how she can reinvent her content and give people things to do and places to stay in the safest way possible. She was able to help some local bed and breakfasts and smaller hotels meet their capacity and get people to book with them. She concludes with advice on if people want to be an influencer, the toxicity of social media and what is next for her.

Katrina on the gap in data education specifically serving women: _6:41 “..Coding schools are worldwide, but according schools that specifically serve women are less than 1%.” Katrina on the difference between her company and ones she has worked for: _10:42 “100%. It's powerful. You know, I'm part of other business groups that are better coed. It's a completely, totally different experience. No lot more arrogance and, um, let you know less humility. And when we want to learn from one another, it's fantastic. I could just hear someone say how much they've struggled while trying to raise around. That's where the valuable information is.” — On The Dot Woman Content Corner Looking for more tips, motivation and direction?
