Today we’d like to introduce you to Eugenia Siso
Hi Eugenia, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I’m from Caracas, Venezuela. I moved to Miami when I was 18 years old in 2014, I wanted to study marketing and get in corporate America, my mom was always in corporate back in my country, so I thought that was my dream and the only possible way to success. In 2017, having a ‘finsta’, an alternative instagram account for your close friends. I started doing content and funny videos for fun, and my friends started loving it and telling me to add some of their friends because they knew they would love the content. In 2020, in quarantine, I started doing instagram stories in my public account daily and I haven’t stopped ever since. In 2021, I decided to start a podcast with a friend I met on twitter in 2011, and I started doing stand up and improv.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has been a very pleasant and long road. At the beginning, I suffered of impostor syndrome a lot. I started doing content as soon as I graduated from the university and was still in my college job. My graduation was in the middle of quarantine, I was applying to corporate jobs daily and couldn’t find anything. I enjoyed doing content but at the moment it was a hobby the symbolized my failures and how no one was hiring me. It took me a while to realize it could become a job. When we started the podcast, we promised each other that if in one year we weren’t monetizing, we would stop. And that’s when we started Patreon in 2022, and I noticed I could work from here, and started doing more money than in my regular job
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m a podcaster, content creator, comedian and improviser. People recognized me for being funny, relatable and very honest. I’m very proud of the community I’ve made and how people connect with me. I’m a very hard worker and people know, but I also enjoy talking about my feelings, my fears and my mistakes, and that’s something I’m very proud and passionate about. I’m an advocate on mental health, healthy life style. I suffered from obesity from a very young age, I had a gastric sleeve on 2021 and that is something all my followers know and saw the whole journey. I think, to simplify: one of my biggest achievements it’s that people connect with my true self. Every time I see someone that follows me or the podcast they tell me ‘you’re exactly as you are on social media’ and even though for me is something very obvious and couldn’t be any other way, I’ve noticed it is not as common and it is something I should be proud of. Being as real shouldn’t be something to brag about, but it is definelry not as common as it should be. I have teens and young followers and if makes me very happy feeling I’m like their bigger sister that gives them advices and makes them love themselves. They always tell me I’m their bigger sister or like a cousin.
How do you think about luck?
That’s a tricky question. Luck without hard work and patience it’s just a chance. You may have good luck for having an opportunity, a talent or a privilege, but it is what you do with that that makes you succeed. I’ve known I was funny and creative from a very young age, but that wasn’t nothing but a personality trait about me till I worked on believing on myself, I trusted my instinct and decided to do something with it. With the podcast I think I could see a little more luck, cause you could have the exact same concept that we did in the same time, I could give you all the clues and details to do the exact same project, and it might not work as Ni Me Ladilles did. Which I could ask, was it luck or was our talent? Sometimes I get asked what I considered was the differentiating factor in our project, and to be honest, there is nothing beyond being ourselves. My luck and differentiation factor is being myself, growing up on it and being able to take advantage of my virtues.
