We had the good fortune of connecting with Gia Venetia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gia, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my own business came out of both desire and necessity. I was a full time college student who wanted more free time to travel and adventure. I was originally working in sales for an optometrist but the pay was a barely livable wage and I envisioned myself utilizing my sales skills in a different avenue. I first dipped my toes in a few informal arrangements with suitors, which consisted of me going out for dinner with different people and getting to know them on a regular basis. However, I saw a bigger vision for myself- I wanted to really put myself out there. That was when I started thinking of my new name, a website, and what my first photoshoot would be like. I knew the way I presented myself within the adult industry would be able to carve a path of success in the future, I just wasn’t sure how far I would be able to take it. I was hungry for a sense of independence and self sufficiency. There was nothing I valued more than being able to take care of myself and make a name for myself in a world where I didn’t have many people to rely on. When I came up with the name Gia Venetia I created a game plan for what type of companion I wanted to be and what sorts of clients I wanted to attract. Years later, I ventured into the world of online content creation and enjoyed the various venues to express both my business sense and creativity.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My art takes its form as adult online content. I have two Onlyfans pages I run and manage with my partner Noah. I really love how we come up with our own ideas for reels, it’s not just me prancing around in a bikini- we like to think of what location, theme and mood will be relatable to viewers. Regarding the more spicy content we produce on my personal pages, we have gotten a lot of inspiration from other content creators and actors who are in our field. When I see an angle I really like, we set out to recreate it. We’ve also been working on developing more interesting storylines for our videos as well. I’m most excited about the additional themed social media accounts that are in the works. One of the ideas we have is a men’s dating coach page- I think it would be very fulfilling to help men become the best versions of themselves and find the women of their dreams while maintaining their values and integrity. The path to where I’m at today has not been easy, but the challenges have made the successes all the more worthwhile. Now that I am working as a team with my partner, I feel a renewed sense of vigor and confidence in our success. I couldn’t have done any of this without him. I want the world to know we want to connect with our viewers and subscribers in a way that makes them feel seen, heard, and validated. I have a lot of love and compassion I would like to share with others, particularly those who feel invisible in the technologically driven and isolated society we inhabit today.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I live in San Diego and I really love the beach! I would take a friend to Black’s Beach, it overlooks cascading cliffs and has the most beautiful sunset. There’s also a nude part of the beach which is perfect for sunbathing. Another beautiful scenic beach spot is Sunset Cliffs, with another unbeatable sunset view. I’d probably get tickets to an EDM show and show a friend a great time at Petco Park- so many talented artists end up playing there.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to dedicate my shoutout to my boyfriend. We met during a vulnerable point in my life, I had moved out to the west coast and didn’t have much of a support system here. I felt a bit lost and unsure of what direction my life was headed in. He helped me come out of my shell and truly believe in myself. Eventually we moved in together and today I really can’t see my life without him. His strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa. It can sometimes be difficult as someone in the adult industry to find a solid romantic partner who is both trustworthy and stable. I’m grateful he keeps me grounded and in touch with reality. I appreciate that I’m able to bring a lot of creative energy to our content creation and he excels at organization and getting tasks accomplished.
