Summary

  Today on the Heart and Hustle Podcast we are joined by our good friends and incredible entrepreneurs, Jon and Valentina Garcia! Jon and Val currently own and operate a content and podcast studio out of Miami, Florida called Cieloh Studio, as well as their media company Inovativ Media, and other amazing business ventures too. (Val is also a Heart team member who handles our social media and so much more!). Today we dive into their journey from just having a dream of owning a content studio that they can work out of and offer to their community, to fulfilling their dream guided by their faith. They successfully launched a unique, high-end content studio in Miami, bringing their vision to life and they are here to share the tangible steps that they took to make it happen. We ask about the initial conception for the idea of the studio, how God led them on their journey, the financial investments and moves that it took to make it happen, and so much more on this week’s episode of the Heart and Hustle Podcast!
