The only podcast out there that outlines amazing immigrant entrepreneurs' journeys. Immigrants are building the economy in America every single day. This show was born to inspire all immigrants who want to become entrepreneurs. Immigrants bring the fire, the drive and the compassion to build communities around them, and to create economies. They build jobs, create amazing opportunities, give back in some unimaginable ways and make America great. I came from Russia and my entrepreneur spirit stems from my dad. He came to America with $600 in his pocket and got paid $8/hour on his first job. He later decided to start his own business doing HVAC and never stopped. He's been in business for over 20 years and never looked back. If you would like to be on my podcast, email me at: hello@alinawarrick.com Website: alinawarrick.com

81: Maria Karr came with $200 in her pocket to US, launches the first Russian beauty store in the US

Immigrant Entrepreneur: Maria Karr

Maria originally came from Siberia, Russia when she was 19 years old. Her plan was to go to college and then go back home. It was never her intent to stay in United States. However, after college she started working for the corporate world. She ended up working for a PR agency that focused on Korean beauty products.

After diving into the beauty products world she noticed that there wasn't a single company in the States that sold Russian beauty products. So she decided to change that.

Maria launched, RumoreBeauty where she works with specific brands from Russia to bring beauty products to our markets. Her mission is to only work with brands who source their ingredients naturally, from the Russian's nature.

She initially launched her company with her husband during COVID as a side hustle, but quickly learned that the business was taking off and she had to quit. Maria has a remarkable story to share and her experience from immigration to entrepreneurship is truly inspirational.
