Although switching from acting to wine seems like a less-than-obvious leap, Erin found ways to learn as much as she could about this new topic, gain valuable experience taking whatever roles necessary, and ultimately landed an amazing job slightly out of her league by showcasing her charisma, drive, and ability to meet people on their level.

About Erin:

Erin Williams was born and raised in the village of Memphis, NE population 115. She spent the first three years of her education in a two-room schoolhouse and realizes that that makes her sound way older than she is.

After college at Drake University, Erin found herself in the sunny city of Los Angeles, where she pursued acting initially and then found herself drawn to the siren call of the wine industry. She's now been selling wine for ten years working as a distributor and winery sales manager for J. Lohr Winery and completed her Wine and Spirit Education Trust Diploma of Wine in 2014.

Erin currently resides in Denver, Colorado where she reps a full book ranging from $6 South American wine to $1,000 dollar bottles of Burgundy.  She recently got her first dog and feels like it is as good as everyone said it would be.

I've been there: Paralysis by analysis. Overwhelm. Frustration. Confusion. Knowing you should make a change in your career and actually making that change are two very different things. We often hold ourselves back from moving toward a career we want because we don't feel prepared enough to make all the moves necessary to get there.

In this solo episode, I go over some of the big excuses we come up with for why we're not ready to make a move in our career and offer up some solutions for dealing with those excuses. Whether it's not feeling like you have the right skills, deciding that the time it'd take to get to your dream job is too much, or thinking that you have to know every single step between where you are today and where you want to be, I've got you.

One day today will be twenty years ago, the best time to start working toward a career you love is now.

About Michelle:

Michelle Ranavat was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin and grew up in a suburb of Chicago, IL. She studied Industrial Engineering for her Bachelor's degree and went on to get a Master's degree in Engineering Management. Michelle began her career working on Wall Street at Lehman Brothers after graduation, but with the financial collapse in 2008 she landed in the family business, a pharmaceutical raw materials company leading the sales efforts. It was at that job that Michelle learned so much about ingredients and what quality means, so when mixing up her own beauty treatments passed down from her family years later she realized there was a huge gap in the quality standards for these products. This led to her launching Ranavat Botanics, a luxury skincare line inspired by ancient Indian traditions in August of 2017.
