We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Grace Gionest. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Grace below.

Grace, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Risk taking is something we’re really interested in and we’d love to hear the story of a risk you’ve taken.

Taking risks has never been a problem for me. The biggest risk I took was trying to follow a dream that I should’ve listen to myself on. I moved out to Tampa, Florida over a year ago to learn and work in designing jewelry. I wouldn’t say I regret it, but I do wish I followed my path and did it the right way instead of rushing into a new life. Taking Risk on a career is definitely one of the most scary things you can do and you’ll never know the outcome until later down the road. Being self-made in general is a risk, but if you put your heart to it you can be anywhere in the world and still make it happen.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I am more than just one business! I myself am a business. I started out with online content on only fans and I used my base off of Instagram to grow that for a while. I’m currently working to restart my teeth whitening business as well as selling real estate in Tampa, Florida.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

Honestly, being a fair person is not enough. You must be more than fair in the business world to get where you want to get. I have established many different groups of well-connected people in many different fields because of me being me. You have to be transparent enough that people can trust who you are and your character. It’s more than just looking good or being able to say you did some thing. Being in a business is a constant work, I don’t think anyone is fully where they want to be yet. Use social media to your advantage and capitalize on every platform.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

My social media has been built up over the years through different accounts as well. When I first started on Instagram I did a lot of fitness and workout post. I was very body positive and my main reach was woman. I focused on one thing on my Instagram and that help me build a name for myself. When I made a new Instagram (@thegracie.g) I decided I wanted to just be me. There was no main focus just still keeping that confidence and transparency on my page along with knowing some well-connected people has built up my following quite a bit over the past two years.
