Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Nathalia Rojas. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Nathalia thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
When I first started Naked Chocolate company was because I needed to create a sweet and funny snack to cope through a tough and toxic breakup. I was in the closet and none of my friends or family knew what I was going through. It was a moment in my life in which I decided to give all of my energy to creativity and delivered a funny real life product that speaks about the different stages of love through exotic flavor chocolates.
Nathalia, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’m a producer, writer, illustrator, and creative director with over +10 years of experience in the entertainment industry. I started my holding company Transcendent Mind Studios 8 years ago. Along with my team we have produced, financed and overseen a dozen productions, including Latin America Award Design – winning project like NAKED CHOCOLATE , film festival hits like SUBMERSIBLE, commercial children’s book success such as TED THE DOWN SYNDROME SHARK and Burning man’s art car JAGUARA.
I’m the CEO of Transcendent Mind Studios (TMS) in charge of leading all the organizational aspects of the company, intellectual properties, and production services process by providing expert logistical and creative oversight from early development to wrap. Nowadays, TMS is positioned as a global player in the industry due to the strong relationship of the company between the US, Europe, and Latin America.
TMS holds the intellectual property for Naked Chocolate and is the principal investor for the brand.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Along with my business and life partner, Daniela, we’ve been through tough moments with Naked Chocolate like for example, our shopify website was shutted down without any reason; it took us over 8 months to make the coolest website, and it literally went to the trash. We couldn’t re-use our domain nor get a backup of it. The worse part was that we were working hard on positioning ourselves online. We had customers that ordered products and that thought that we had scam them. It was emotionally and economically very difficult to cope with it. For one month and a half we were trying to get help, to reach out to the owners of shopify until finally they answered us.
