We had the good fortune of connecting with Melia Lisette and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Melia, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
We have had to learn to keep our work life balance even. The business is a constant in our lives and we have had to navigate how to separate friendship and business. Sometimes we even start conversations with “this is a friend conversation” In order to keep healthy boundaries between each other. It has been an absolutely wild ride, but we can’t imagine doing this with anybody else.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
All three of us are in the entertainment business. Kelsey is a professional singer for Disney, Lauren is a Fantastic actress, and Mélia is a classically trained actress. All of us have been working towards our end goal Of being in the entertainment business nearly a decade. There is absolutely no mistaking that entertaining others and serving others is in our blood. We just decided to apply to trading and industry around it as it is a passion of ours as well.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Los Angeles has some incredible places to see and visit. Being that we are all from different parts of LA, I’m sure we would have all different sorts of answers. Kelsey could tell you the best places to eat, Lauren could give you the best inside scoops and Melia could tell you all about locations she’s had to work as a production assistant. I think we can all agree though the Golden Road Brewery is a must.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Lauren Analla, who is our friend and only employee. She is a fantastic person, actor and mediator when needed.
