Welcome! In this episode of the Level Up! Podcast With Shay, DJ Kara and I talk about her journey going to Purdue for business and almost not making it, her perseverance moving to LA, waking up any time between 4AM-6AM almost everyday and then DJing for weddings from the afternoon until the night, and how she developed her very successful brand "DJ Kara". At first she seems like a superhuman who's got it all figured out, but after I dug deeper I find out that she has had some struggles of her own where she has been put to the test and had the choice to rise or fall. I'm so excited to share this with you because it really shows that everyone is on their own journey, they don't have all the answers all the time, and sometimes you just gotta try, try, and try again to get what you want!
You can find DJ Kara at her website www.djkarala.com, on Instagram (@dj.kara), Facebook, LinkedIn, and check out her mixes on Soundcloud!
