  • From SEO to Storefront: How Erika and Jason Chung Built a Creative Hub That Outlasted Amazon

    From SEO to Storefront: How Erika and Jason Chung Built a Creative Hub That Outlasted Amazon
    Mar 3 2026
    Most businesses start with an idea. The resilient ones start with a pivot.Before Local Fixture became a creative landmark in Whittier, it was an e-commerce hustle when larger companies overtook the market. This episode is about what happens when entrepreneurs read the writing on the wall, trust their instincts, and build something rooted in community instead of algorithms.In today’s episode of Amiga Handle Your Shit, Jackie Tapia sits down with Erika and Jason Chung, founders of Local Fixture, to talk about their journey from ranking number one on Google for handbags in the early 2000s to creating one of Whittier’s most beloved local storefronts. What began as a search-engine-optimized online business eventually transformed into a physical space designed to foster connections and create a curated local experience.Jason shares how his early success in e-commerce forced him to pivot when corporate giants overtook the market, and how family investment and calculated risk made their first storefront possible. Erika reflects on the vision behind Local Fixture — inspired by Westside boutiques, fueled by the desire to bring something fresh to their hometown, and shaped by the needs of young families craving thoughtful, curated products.Together, they unpack what scaling really looks like: outgrowing a beloved space after 12 years, navigating leases, managing cash flow, and building a team that feels like family. They also dive into practical business lessons — from reading Profit First to prioritizing cash flow, to using organic social media and AI experimentation to stay relevant without massive marketing budgets.Tune in to episode 272 of Amiga Handle Your Shit for an honest conversation about pivoting, scaling, family-run business dynamics, and building something local that big corporations cannot replicate.Episode Takeaways:How ranking #1 on Google for handbags led to an unexpected pivot (04:00)Why competing with Amazon forced a strategic shift into brick-and-mortar (05:00)The role of family investment in launching their first storefront (08:00)How inspiration from Westside boutiques shaped the Local Fixture concept (09:30)What scaling actually looks like after 12 years in one location (10:20)The philosophy behind creating an in-store experience customers cannot get online (11:30)Navigating hiring, delegation, and working as a married couple (14:00)Why passion and realistic expectations matter more than hype (15:40)Why cash flow management is the backbone of any sustainable business (16:00)How organic social media — and even AI — plays a role in modern marketing (18:00)Resources:Local Fixture websiteInstagramTikTokConnect with Jason:Email: jason@localfixture.comLinkedInLet's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInJackie Tapia Arbonne's websiteBook: The AMIGA Way: Release Cultural Limiting Beliefs to Transform Your Life Hosted on Acast.

  • First-Gen and Figuring It Out: Valerie Carrillo on College, Courage, and Choosing Your Own Path

    First-Gen and Figuring It Out: Valerie Carrillo on College, Courage, and Choosing Your Own Path
    Feb 17 2026

    There is a quiet kind of courage that comes with being the first. First to apply. First to navigate systems your parents never had access to. First to make decisions without a roadmap. This episode is about that courage, and the trust it takes to keep moving anyway.


    In today’s episode of Amiga Handle Your Shit, Jackie Tapia sits down with Valerie Carrillo, a first-generation Latina navigating the college application process largely on her own. With parents who did not attend college, Valerie shares what it has meant to figure things out in real time, ask for help when she needed it, and learn how to advocate for herself in rooms she was never taught how to enter.


    Valerie reflects on studying abroad at a young age, returning home with a broader sense of what is possible, and how that experience shaped her confidence and resilience. She opens up about the pressure many first-gen students carry, the fear of rejection, and the mindset shifts that helped her stay grounded while applying to competitive schools without guarantees.


    The conversation also touches on faith, timing, and learning to trust that not getting what you want right away does not mean you are failing. Valerie reminds us that outcomes do not define worth and that sometimes the long way around still gets you exactly where you are meant to be.


    Tune in to episode 270 of Amiga Handle Your Shit for a real and refreshing conversation on first-generation ambition, self-trust, and navigating the unknown without losing yourself.


    Episode Takeaways:

    • What it’s like to be first-gen with no blueprint for college (04:40)
    • How studying abroad early built confidence and independence (11:50)
    • Why asking for help became a turning point in her application process (24:30)
    • The emotional side of applying to competitive universities (26:40)
    • How faith and perspective helped her release fear around outcomes (34:10)
    • Why rejection does not mean you are off track (34:50)
