Tarra Stubbins shares her journey from dropping out of high school to travel with rock bands as a personal assistant—including wild hotel room requests from Mick Jagger—to founding the Take It Easy Group, where she now provides Chief of Staff and executive support to high-profile clients. She talks about handling unusual demands like putting a toothbrush in a hotel dishwasher, building a strong network, and helping CEOs, athletes, and high-net-worth individuals manage their complex lives. Tarra also discusses her new podcast "Fuck the Fluff," focused on real, no-nonsense advice for women in business.
