## Resource

Hi friends! Today's episode is super fun and exciting as I got to sit down with Aliya Chen, the founder and CEO of Stay Golden Hawai'i! Stay Golden is a local jewelry brand here in Hawai'i committed to making waterproof jewelry that LASTS. Their pieces are "inspired by the warmth of Hawai’i, the richness of Chinese culture, and the power of self-expression." Aliya took Stay Golden from $0- 1.3 million in sales within her first year and now is only growing with over 800k followers across platforms. It is so cool to see a company like this born out of drive and rooted in the founder's identity succeeding, and for it to be one of the girlies too! I hope you guys enjoy getting to learn more about Aliya and her journey with Stay Golden and leave this episode inspired to stay true to yourself and shoot for the stars! Happy listening!
