At the age of 16, armed with nothing but blind faith, Patty Rodriguez drove herself to a radio station to ask for a job. 8 years later, after moving up the ranks at KIIS FM, she became the senior producer of the #1 morning drive show in America, On Air With Ryan Seacrest Show -- a position she holds to this date. In addition to her radio work, Patty is a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur -- a jewelry designer with collectors ranging from Miley Cyrus to Rihanna; an author of bi-lingual kids books (available at Target, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble) ; and an advocate for bridging bi-cultural gaps in America. On Innovation Crush, Patty discusses her path, her passion, her failures, her heritage, and how losing everything in a house fire changed her perspective on life and business.
