Beyond the Surface with Author Julia Christine Velotas
Episode description
Julia Christine Velotas has been featured on numerous TV shows and magazines, including the hit reality TV show REHAB: Party at the Hard Rock Hotel. Her first book is just The Tip: Memoir of a Las Vegas Bottle Server. During this episode, Julia shares the behind-the-scenes of her bottle serving days to show by example not to judge a book by its cover. Often, we make assumptions about people based on their jobs or careers. There's often so much more beneath the surface and different reasons why people may pursue careers or temporary jobs at varying points in their lives- and Julia is the perfect example. During the episode, Julia shares her Greek Orthodox background and talks about how she got into the bottle-serving industry and what that means exactly. Julia talks about the stigma of being a bottle server, how people perceived her during her bottle serving days- how people perceive people in similar careers, and the idea of looking at people as people instead of their jobs. Julia talks about the importance of following your passion and doing things in the interim to achieve your goals. She also shares some celebrity stories and stresses the importance of having a support system, protecting yourself from sexual harassment in the workplace, and not trusting someone just because they're famous.
