Leah Garcia on Connecting the Gaps on Your Resumé

Leah Garcia’s career path has never been a straight line. It’s ben more like a rodeo loop. She grew up as the daughter of ranchers, went to college on a rodeo scholarship and became a pro mountain biker. All that happened, then she had a career as a TV sports reporter, and now, the founder of Nulastin, a cult beauty brand she launched with zero investors, no pitch deck, and plenty of grit. Today, Leah shares how she connected the dots between all of these seemingly separate careers – and how she had fun while doing it.

In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Leah also shares: 

• Why she loved the extreme nature of rodeoing and mountain biking

• How she built Nulastin with zero investors and zero clue of how to pitch

• The backstory of starting Nulastin in her 50s 

• Where boundaries end and burnout begins – and how she decides that 

• How she became comfortable with her lack of knowledge in business
