Startups in Stilettos Pitching Yourself and Finding Your Voice with Brianna Ruelas
“I see that a lot of these young women are struggling to feel like their impact matters and I really want to create something that incorporates my own stories, my own journey, to show them that our choices matter. But more importantly, that they matter, and that everything they bring to the table is significant and meaningful.”
When Brianna Ruelas and her husband were thrust into entrepreneurship overnight, she had little choice but to fully embrace the multiple hats she was now wearing. A decade on, Brianna is now a multifaceted entreprenista who helps women in business bring their big ideas and vision to life while tapping into what lights them up so they can love the work that they do. In her keynotes, she integrates live performance and original music with her teaching to reinforce key concepts that ignite motivation, innovation, and performance. Today, we’re chatting with Brianna about being CEO of Ruelas Music Group, passing down the entrepreneurial spirit to her kids, and the inspiration behind her books.

- Joining three startup businesses at once—while being a full time mom (06:32)

- The secret to landing speaking opportunities (17:57)
