Welcome to another episode of the serious sellers podcast.

My name is Bradley.

I'll be your host today, as I am every episode, actually.

And with me, I have a different guest.

So you're always stuck with me, but every week, at least I have somebody different. And today,

I've got somebody in person. I'm looking at her right now because usually I do these virtually,

but she lives near us. So she actually came in. I met her at the CellarCon convention or conference.

Karina, how's it going, Karina? Hello, it is going amazing. How are you? I'm doing just delightful. So I really wanted to reach out to you because I've been watching what you've been doing on YouTube. You know, you were actually one of our affiliates before, but I had not met you in person until the conference. So let's talk a little bit about your, your background, first of all. You actually, did you, you went to, did you go to high school here in the United States? Yes. So I'm actually born in Russia. So I lived there until I was about eight. And then I moved to the USA. I went to high school, went to UCI here for biology. So, you know, very familiar with the local school over here. Okay. So UCI is that ant eaters? Yes. So you're an ant eater as your mascot there. And that's University of California, Irvine, for those of you who don't know the abbreviations. Okay. So as an ant eater, you studied biology. Hey, that makes a little bit of sense right there. So you got a bachelor's then in biology? Yes, bachelor's of science in biology. Okay. So when you first started that, you know, graduating high school, you're like, hey, I'm going to major in biology. What were your career goals at that time? Much different than they are now, but kind of the same concept. So I always enjoyed learning and kind of progressing.

And I wanted to do a fulfilling profession that would also help a lot of people. So my initial

goal was to, you know, be a comfortable life to be able to travel and to be able to do good for

others. So I was really on the path to doing doctors without borders. And as the same time, science is very powerful. So I was going to go to med school, continue my knowledge there. And that was my reasoning behind going for biology and then pre-med. Okay. Oh, so you did go pre-med as well? I was all pre-med, yes. And I worked at a hospital. That was my old 9-to-5 as well as, I mean, we can go on. I, like, long story, try different things. I was also signed to a modeling agency simultaneously. While you were in college, you were doing modeling as well. Yes, and especially more so afterwards. Okay. In the process of, I had a gap year, so in the process of wanting to apply to med school and working at the hospital,

I was also signed to an agency in LA, which is local here too as well.

Excellent. Excellent. So was that, I mean, how was that for you? Did you make enough money

doing that or was it fun? Was it not fun? Did you like have second guesses about maybe I'll

be a model full time instead of pursuing the?

Well, I didn't think I wanted to be a model full time.

It was kind of something that I've wanted to do.

And I've done it a little bit through my college and high school, but more serious when I got signed and long term.
