Bio

I am a 1st generation immigrant and native New Yorker who has made my home in the Washington DC area. I run an online brand called Limitless Living. My mission is to empower our generation to become the best version of themselves. I focus on developing the mindset, body, money, and relationships.

I graduated college with an electrical engineering degree without going into student debt. I have successfully made six-figures in corporate America and have lead high performing tech teams in the cloud software industry.

I overcame a lot of negative thinking and limiting beliefs that were adopted from my childhood. My biggest victory has been curing my social anxiety and overcoming my fear of people. I want to take what I’ve learned about life to help others become better and create a community of people that are making a positive impact in this crazy world.

I take pride in being a son, brother, uncle, and friend.

Valerie Trapunsky

Bio

ChatterBoss is the brainchild of Valerie Trapunsky, who founded the company in 2017 after a decade spent working as a top-level assistant for A-list celebrities and as the Chief of Staff for high-net-worth individuals and CEOs. During that time, Valerie developed a passion for effective problem-solving, and became committed to bringing the same level of excellent service to solo entrepreneurs, business owners, and executives ready to scale.

At ChatterBoss, we strive to solve customer needs through a combination of intelligent technology, intelligent systems, and most importantly, intelligent people. Together, the whole team has built a product that clients can trust to deliver personalized, reliable, and thoughtful service.

We have been working hard to change the landscape of what relationships between entrepreneurs and VA’s look like. Previously, it has been common for assistants to be thought of as just task doers. In our case, our assistants are thought partners, dedicated in the success of our client’s business. Getting to this place required a lot of focus and work on our culture, as our product is our PEOPLE.

Our core values (which have been co-created by our teams) really sum up who we are in terms of our culture:

  • We Do The Right Thing: We are fierce advocates for what is fair, in the best interest of our people (clients, partners, employees, contractors) even when no one is looking.
  • We Take The Lead: We are passionate thought partners committed to finding holistic solutions with confidence and humility.
  • We Care: We are empathetic listeners deeply invested in the relationships and success of our community

Valerie has appeared on numerous podcasts, webinars, and is always open to making a new connection!

Topics

  • How to communicate to achieve success with your teams
  • Hiring the right person for the right job + the future of hiring

As time goes on things change and I new I had to learn more and more on how Search Engine Opination (SEO) works if I was going to make it without doing Facebook Lives. SEO wasn’t as known as it is now. But it is the key to getting seen not only on Etsy and Shopify but it is a necessity for social media as well. My husband and I still

  • Shopify – how i took my knowledge of growing on etsy to create a gowing Shopify business.
  • Social Media – how i grew my businesses with no ads and not going live on facebook.

  • Etsy is cost effective.
  • Search engine optimization is not as hard as one thinks.
  • Turning a craft into a business.
  • Running a business and managing a family
