Building Your Business with Jessica Santander, Jewlery Designer & Entrepreneur

Hola Gwapas and welcome to episode 16 of the Hola Gwapa Podcast! For those of you who are new to the show I’m your host Nisha Btesh. I’m also the Founder and Creative at Hola Gwapa a digital community of almost 12 thousand artists and creatives from all over the world, a blog, a website, an online shop, podcast and most recently a small batch slow fashion line! On this podcast we take the creative conversations even further, sharing the real stories, tips and tricks the Artists in this community have found on their journey to success.

I’m SO thrilled to introduce you to Jessica Santander, Jewelry Designer and Entrepreneur. With 3 years under her belt, Jessica is focused and mission driven to build and evolve her lifestyle brand. In this episode we talk about what it means to listen to your intuition, how to authentically present yourself within the context of your brand, why she believes the success in her business’s financials are directly tied to increasing the value of her self worth, why mental health matters, how to handle and learn from rejection AND how the best way to build community is just to SHOW UP CONSISTENTLY AS YOUR BEST & WORST SELF. SO this episode is really for anyone interested in building their own business from the ground up just like Jessica and myself, for anyone looking for a refresh/shift in their personal mindset towards positivity and resilience and for anyone looking to hear the truth about the amount of work, blood, sweat and tears that we’ve put in order to reap the benefits and fulfillment of living a creative life and owning brands that we can be proud of. And with that let’s get into the show!
