This week we talk with Sharzad Kiadeh, one of our favorite YouTube hosts & vloggers. She shares her collection of crazy jobs that led her to her current “9-5″ as the host of ‘The Mom’s View’ and an ambassador for Michelin Travel; how she deals with haters (and when she thought they might lead to her being fired); and how she met her husband. Hint: a reality TV show involving fast cars is at the core of this love story.
