Life & Work with Pilar Kanner

Today we’d like to introduce you to Pilar Kanner.

Hi Pilar, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am originally from Lima, Peru, I came to the United States in 2002 looking for a better life opportunity. I started working in the Mortgage, Lending industry. For a few years, then I decided to pursue Real Estate and obtained my Real Estate License. I worked in Real Estate for 10 years. After that, I started working in the Sign Industry as a project manager and two years ago I decided to pursue modeling. Currently, I am a brand ambassador for different clothing brands and an Amazon influencer.

I had the opportunity to walk the runway in the Orange County Fashion show twice, in march and September 2022. I have done photoshoots for different designers and brands. I also have an online clothing store.

I am a fitness model as well. I love staying fit and healthy. Wake up at 5:00am workout 5 days a week at least. I try to be consistent.

I love what I do. I love Fitness, fashion and love to share my style and ideas with my followers. I always like modeling since my 20s but I never had the opportunity and I am very grateful that now I am having this opportunity. Is never late to do what you love. Never give up!

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has not been a smooth road, there are many challenges. I have two kids and is very difficult to balance personal life with professional life. There are many obstacles: Rejection is one of them and people telling you that is too late or that you are wasting your time. But I am in the point in my life where I really want to do what I enjoy the most.

Is not easy for sure, but if you don’t challenge yourself you won’t ever succeed.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I work in the Sign industry as a Project manager. I coordinate and oversee sign installation and services in Los Angeles area.

I specialize in fitness and fashion modeling and being a brand ambassador. This allows me to combine fashion and fitness and to be an inspiration to other women to go for their own personal goals and allows me to share fashion with other women.

Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
Books: the moment of lift by Melinda Gates. Own your every day by Jordan Lee Dooley.

I listed to TED for inspirational talks
