It's Not What It Seems

Alexis Andra

Have you ever wondered what it really takes to own and run your own business? Do you find yourself thinking that the people you follow on social media have "perfect" lives, flawless feeds and do it all with such ease? Join Alexis Andra, owner of The Shift Creative (a large scale art and set design company in Southern California), as she asks the real questions behind every "successful" person and brand. This isn't your typical business or influencer podcast. Alexis talks about the mess behind the feed, and the grit it took to get to where the most successful people are today. There won't be beauty or fashion tips here. This is a podcast where hard questions are asked and answered. No more smoke screens, perfect lighting, and skin smoothing filters; just real talk with real people that you might think you know.

Get to know Alexis, the host of this podcast and the owner of The Shift Creative.

Okay guys, Alexis here, I am producing this podcast by myself and it's getting weird to talk about myself in the third person. So, hi. In this episode I share my goal with this podcast, my start in the arts industry, and my challenges along the way. I really get vulnerable. While it's not perfect, (my story and the production), I know that the content is great. It cuts behind all the fluff and exposes the real life behind business and social media! I hope you love it, and if you do please give me a rating and subscribe! xAlexis
