Do you have the courage to aspire big dreams – no matter what others think?

In this episode of the I Own It podcast, we are graced by the presence of Kavita Channe. Making her first appearance in the spotlight as a soccer team correspondent and sideline reporter, she is now the founder of Sip Channé, a winery that specializes in authentic French rosé.

Kavita's eyes are set on her goals, working on writing every chapter of her life’s book on her own terms. She wants you to go after what you want and just get started – simply trying already sets you apart from the rest of the world. Conventional is overrated, she believes.

With her successful business and influential brand, she aims to create a positive culture of empowering her employees. She is also a huge advocate for self-care and healthy habits… success comes with a strong body!

Tune in as Kavita Channe goes deep into the best (and the worst) of her sports reporting career, her early influences on wine, her favorite pampering activities to splurge on, and why it’s extremely important to follow your dreams – even if others don’t believe it.
