Unbuttoned C.E.O
Unbuttoned CEO is a podcast produced by Lara Svedin and Calandra Bodilis. This production encompasses everything that it means to have a dream and what it takes to get that idea off the ground. Co-hosts, Calli and Lara, will interview the movers, shakers and big game players who did everything it took to make their dream survive. Our definition of CEO is someone who is a "creative eternal optimist"—the one who dares to dream and has the courage to make those dreams come true. The road to success is not paved in gold and is certainly not handed to anyone. Every story is unique and admirable. The lessons we can learn from telling our truth when it comes to business is unimaginable. Our goal is to “unbutton” those who can teach us how truly tough, grueling and rewarding it is to believe in yourself and create a thriving business.
