Unless you're living under a rock, you're probably aware that the fashion and beauty industries have some major issues with animal cruelty and sustainability. It's unfortunately part of the current reality behind many major fashion and beauty brands.    But fortunately for us, there are people like our guest, Suveria Mota, who are looking to change that. With a lifelong passion for fashion and shoes fueled by her parents' careers at Tiffany's and Macy's, she's putting her dreams to work to remove animal cruelty from the fashion industry.   It wasn't (and isn't) an easy dream to make a reality — she couldn't even find a shoe factory at first to produce her designs. But with tenacity and determination, she now has her own eco-friendly luxury fashion brand that she's looking to expand and compete with major fashion retailers.   Suveria's story is a fascinating example of the accidental entrepreneur that can teach us about getting over imposter syndrome and pushing for our dreams no matter what. Key Topics: Fashion has been an influence from the beginning Trying to make it in the acting business in LA The documentary that changed her outlook on fashion Identifying a gap in the market for luxury vegan footwear Receiving the first vegan shoe samples that launched her business There's no such thing as a wasted experience Why shoes?
