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

Hi Karen, is there something you believe many others might not?
The myth that you have to go to college or graduate from a 4 year college to be successful. Also, that you have to work at one company for 40 years.
Or you have to buy a house at 21 now, why are you buying one at 70? Some people don’t Want to Own a house at all, just own real estate and invest.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I work as a Brand Ambassador for various events. I am a people person. I love seeing guests have a fun and memorable experience! I also enjoy Model/ Acting .

I was excited to be part of of several projects. If you’re a fan of “Age of the Living Dead” you may catch me in the background/ extras of the interior “war room” shots!

It was exciting to do a few modeling video/ shoots so far for a skin cream product.

My other passion is learning all about Holistic Health care. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship to the Living Lotus Academy. This will be an added addition to my home based Massage and Mini Day Spa business. It’s a ” side hustle” now but I’m working on it!

Lastly, I love to cook! Cooking is my therapy. I love making tasty meals that look good too! I sell meals to alot of my single friends and love to cater small gatherings.

I hope to add a U tube/ Podcast in the near future!

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.
If my Bestie came to town first off the plane we would head back to my place for a bite of Bruschetta and a welcome toast with some Cupcake Prosecco! A nice Day Pass to the Solamar Hotel in downtown San Diego! They have a cute 4ft pool on the 4th Floor Rooftop! A Kool poolside bar and menu! Kick back and relax.

We would pop over to Old Town and check out the Whaley House, see if it’s really haunted!

Of course a weekend trip to Vegas! Lol

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would say my mother. She has been very supportive. Our family went through tough times and now things are alot better for us all.
