Today’s episode of In The Suite with Rosa Chalekian is a can’t-miss. Rosa and I have been friends for years, always crossing paths since we’re in the financial circuit. Rosa is a blogger, lifestyle fashionista, future sommelier, wife, mother, and Vice President of Operations at Lake Avenue Financial and co-host of “The Chalekians” on YouTube along with her husband Alex, Founder and CEO at Lake Avenue Financial.
Rosa does a bit of everything, with her own beautiful and dazzling personal style, and brings us into her daily life as she does it. It’s an episode that is both delightful and fun. Rosa has fantastic insights on a lot of subjects including parenting and how she and her husband Alex educate their three sons to make wise choices with their money in order to establish a foundation for independence and a strong work ethic.
