"I trusted Helen and Portfolio.YVR with my story because, as I transitioned from a well-known TV personality to an entrepreneur supporting brands through Live Shopping activations, I wanted to reintroduce myself. ⁠
⁠
This platform gave me the space to do that—thoughtfully, authentically, and in my own voice. It reached the right audience at scale, with more than just surface-level soundbites. ⁠
⁠
As the Principal of Live Selling School, I work in an emerging space where trust and education matter. Portfolio YVR helped me share what I do—and more importantly, how I can help." ~ Dawn Chubai, Principal of Live Selling School. (@dawnchubai)⁠
