We had the good fortune of connecting with Astri Castillo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Astri, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
the first Risk i took was Moving to California 10 yrs ago. The second biggest risk was getting into the Industry that im in, not many are really able to make it in the trading world. Risk Takers are Creators

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
what sets my brand apart is that we are always growing/creating and looking for ways to give back to the community.

Im extremely proud of all the positive response I have received since launching my brand, were always excited about the future!

How I Started my Business at the time I was being overly worked and under payed. I was working at a grocery store, id been there for about two years. I was tired of being tired and was thinking of going back to school. When trading landed in my lap through a customer turned friend. Since then I knew it was my PASSION. I studied it every single day for 3 years straight, by staying consistent and determined I was able to link up with my current mentor who taught me everything I know that took me to the next level. I am Grateful that a few months later I launched my Brand. Consistency has been the biggest key for building my brand and getting to were i am today.

it hasn’t been easy, ive had a few bumbs in the road, its definitely been worth it. Never give up!

the best way to over come any challenge is to keep pushing forward and stay hungry.

keep an open mind. stay grateful and remain humble

Future$ we got high energy coming your way 🙂

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I live in the best city in America San Diego

Were definitely known for our good food, i would take them to a few good brekki spots we have a wide variety of places that support any lifestyle

I would have one beach day and take them to one of my favorite beaches here in San Diego have a picnic sun bathe, and keep a eye out for some cuties

our night life is like no other would have to take my friend to a bar or club in Downtown SD were the drinks are delicious and the crowd is serving looks

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Yes Trey Fisher, a good friend of mine and his wife, and daughter his family has been really good to me, they have mentored me vise versa we help each other out and lift each other. We are both in the same industry.
