#78: Pave Your Own Way with Melissa Carcache
Today on the show Jayson is talking with actress, producer, podcaster, and entrepreneur Melissa Carcache. Melissa was born in Miami, Florida, and knew she wanted to be an actress as far back as kindergarten when she starred in her first play. Right after completing high school at 18, after getting her mother’s blessing, she packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles for a career. She got off to a bit of a good start by nabbing a role in an Intel commercial but spent the majority of her time auditioning and attending more classes. Melissa has been a part of a few successful entrepreneurship ventures, she started her own production company, RomDom Productions, created a successful podcast with her sister called Millennial Women, and now has a chip company selling her grandma’s chip recipe across the globe. Melissa truly have carved her own path in life.
