QUOTES

07:58 "I have to get hobbies and create relationships. And so, honestly, I remember just being like, I don't know how to do this because coming from agency, your whole world is that."

11:40 "I found the influencer life when I started going to Tweetups and meeting people. I was meeting them from all different walks of life, like from government to pharma. Everyone had these moonlighting lives, if you will, and then we'd meet."

16:07 "You don't have to do more work like that. You just have to use those keywords in the work you're currently doing... Just start consistently using those 3 words or 5 words you want to be identified with."

20:09 "I have a degree in costume design. I've never taken a business class. Everything I know is from asking and being vulnerable and open to people telling me when I'm wrong and fixing stuff."

25:25 "You get to watch people develop, you get to hopefully take that diamond that might be covered in some dirt and shine it up and everyone is like wow, who is this magical I see? And you're like, I had a tiny part to play in that."
