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

Hi Anna, how do you think about risk?
Nothing in Life is guaranteed. I was always curious about “how far can I come” and “what’s on the other side”.
As far as I know, I’ve been a Risk taker my whole life but obviously learned many lessons by taking them.
There were WINS and LOSSES but one thing I never wanted was REGRETTING that I never tried something out.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am coming from the field of Beauty. This career path has been impacting my business venture deeply for the past 17 years.
I started of as a regular hairstylist in a salon in Germany and worked my way up.
I did my master and kept educating myself and went to the most renowned Academies.
In the past 10 years I won multiple awards as a international Hair and Make up Artist and travelled to multiple places within Europe, such as France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland until I decided my big Move to the U.S!
Coming from a creative field, transitioning into someone that is desired to get ‘not only bookings for my service’ (time for money) but creating multiple streams that long term wise build a stable foundation and creates passive income was always something that was important to me.
Now I am utilizing different platforms to attract more traffic to my business, my personal brand.
But as well I am following my passion Acting and Modeling, which charges my spirit.
I love to create and I love to give back! Now I’m helping others with their own personal branding and positioning in their niche.

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.
Obviously everyone that has never been in LA before wants to see the walk of fame, the hollywood sign yada yada… 😀 And of course that’s on the list BUT I definitely would show the diversity of the City.
We would explore the Beaches of the West Coast, Explore DTLA’s Rooftops, a afternoon on Melrose, but definitely explore the wildlife and mountains that California has to offer.
There is always something every single day and it never gets boring!
From Yoga in the park to turning up in the fanciest clubs, there is something for every taste and mood.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’ve met so many amazing people here in LA. Each and every single one of them has helped me in some kind of way to become a better version of myself.
Los Angeles is the place were literally EVERYTHING is possible and were you grow beyond yourself, if that’s what you want. It depends what you make out of it. SHOUTOUT to everybody that entered my space to uplift and support on my journey.
