Ever wondered what it takes to leave the security of a corporate job and build your own creative empire? Jo Delgado, the brilliant mind behind The Creative Inka, shares her remarkable journey from Peru to Southern California, detailing the courage it took to swap the corporate grind for her dream design studio in Redondo Beach. We promise you'll gain insights into the resilience required to face immigrant challenges and the tough decisions that come with entrepreneurship.
