About this episode

Arianna was a recent college graduate with dreams of one day opening her own marketing company. So when a LinkedIn opportunity for a social media marketing assistant fell into her lap, it felt too good to be true. 

 

Soon, she would be brushing shoulders with millionaires, in hopes that some of their mojo would rub off. After all, she had big plans for her future and a self-made father to prove herself to.

This brave, inspiring woman is here to share her very important story of what exactly happened when she got involved with this Nashville “Millionaire’s Club.”
