From poker star fighter, to Survivor, survivor and thriver, Vollara business builder Anna Khait is a shooting star on the rise.
When Anna Khait’s parents brought her to America from the Soviet Union, their vision for her future was rooted in high hopes and hard work. That spirit ensured Anna sought to do the best she could.
“Growing up, I loved sports. I played basketball, softball, tennis and handball. I even competed in the World Games for handball in Colombia,” shares Anna. “But one game fascinated me above the others. I was introduced to poker at the age of 17. It became my passion, and formed an unusual path for my life.”
“What began as a college hobby paid for my school, rent, and supplies,” recalls Anna. “After college, instead of heading to medical school as my parents hoped, I launched a career as a professional poker player. That eventually led to the World Series of Poker and an offer from the WPT (World Poker Tour) TV series to join as one of their “players to watch.”
Coming from a traditional Russian-Jewish household, her family was concerned about what looked like a risky lifestyle and career path. “They knew I had a greater calling for my life than being a professional gambler,” reflects Anna.
As her passion for games of strategy grew, she recalled telling a high school friend that “one day, I’ll be on Survivor,” the hit television show that pits players against one another in pursuit of a life-changing prize.
“He said that it will never happen,” Anna remembers.
Well, you can’t stop a dreamer who keeps chasing their dream. Anna leveraged the skills she gained reading people into an audition for the show. When the 2016 season debuted, she was a contestant.
“I’d achieved two of my childhood dreams; become a professional poker player, and get on my favorite TV show,” Anna shares. She was the first female poker player on Survivor and used her card skills to get further in the game.
“Poker, Survivor, and life are all very similar,” says Anna “You're always making moves, taking risks, reading people, and adjusting to various situations.”
Those goals were achieved, and Anna found herself on a new journey. With a sense of adventure and a desire to make a difference, she realigned her skills working as an undercover journalist for a prominent organization. Rooting out political and government corruption, the investigations involving her work resulted in the termination of unethical government employees.
While she had developed a widely varied background,
the consistent theme was that Anna set goals.
“Everything I set my mind on, I had accomplished and prospered,” reveals Anna. “But, it wasn’t until a profound encounter with God that I realized He had been the One who gave me the ability to create opportunity. So, in 2021, I quit playing poker and left everything behind to pursue a greater dream; one in which I could support my family, be self-employed, make my own hours, and help people.”
Tough financial times followed until a meeting with Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne.
“That connection changed my life. At first, we were just trying out a Vollara Air & Surface Pro and noticed a drastic change in our air quality. I was so intrigued with the technology I sent a unit to my sister who works in the medical field,” shares Anna. “She was using her inhaler up to 16 times per day for asthma.”
Anna was shocked to get a call from her sibling saying she was able to sleep through the night, undisturbed. Her sister explained to Anna that she didn't wake up once to use her inhaler.*
“I asked her to monitor how often she used her inhaler at home, “Anna excitedly recalls. “She went from using the device 16 times a day to just 4 times the following week, two times the next, and zero the following month. To her children’s amazement, she went from thoughts of getting rid of their dog and cat, because of her allergies, to keeping the family pets. I started telling everyone I knew about the technology.”
Anna called Pastor Rodney, and then spoke to Pastor Eric Gonyon, who motivated her to connect with the company as an independent distributor. Though she lacked any education in business or sales, she saw a huge opportunity to share Vollara’s life-changing technology with the world.
Like cramming for a test, Anna dove into studying every aspect of each technology. Two weeks later, she booked a trade show. While she didn’t close many sales initially, she knew she was on to something.
So, Anna focused on tweaking her pitch as she shared the tech with local businesses; her personal hair salon, nail salon, UPS, and chiropractor. She began stacking up sales, connecting business associates and found a fresh outlook on her growing business.
“I was counting pennies after I quit playing poker,” reflects Anna. “After six months of connecting with friends and family, training various ministries on the opportunities Vollara offers, I began to earn income like I never thought possible with this revolutionary technology.”*
Anna gives all the glory to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. “A key verse for my life is found in Deuteronomy 8:18. It says, ‘And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability and power to create wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers.’ He gives us the tools, it’s up to us how we use them.”
Now, Anna travels around the country as a speaker promoting health and freedom, educating people on the importance of Active Pure protected homes and offices.
“I was able to retire my mom within a few months of joining Vollara.” Anna beams. “I’m doing trade shows, health home showcases, and working on some big deals with schools. My goal is for our team to get ActivePure in every nursing home, animal shelter, school and airline in the nation.”
"The sky is the limit with Vollara," exclaims Anna.
Vollara Spotlight celebrates Anna and her team’s efforts as they outwit, outplay and outlast 99.9% of germs in the air and on surfaces. We’re excited to see what’s next for this goal-setting phenomenon.
