What if I told you that you could make six figures as a UGC content creator, work with 80+ brands, and get paid to live in Belgium for a month? 👀

Let's talk about it.

This week, I'm chatting with Goldie Choi , a former nurse who traded 11 years in healthcare for a full-time UGC business. In just two years, she's worked with over 80 brands and made more than $140,000 creating content. Casual.

But we're not just here to talk about the fun stuff. We're getting into what it actually takes to build a sustainable UGC business, bec...

What if we’ve been fighting for our lives on Instagram while LinkedIn has been quietly getting people clients, brand deals, speaking gigs, and actual business opportunities?

In this episode, I’m joined again by Laura England, founder of The Writer’s Harbor, and she is officially here to convince me (and probably you) that LinkedIn is no longer the crusty, dusty corporate platform we’ve made it out to be.

We’re breaking down what LinkedIn marketing actually looks like for creators and business owners, how to create a content strategy that doesn’t require you...

Travel creators: do you actually know how much you make per hour?

Whether you’re a travel creator, travel influencer, UGC creator, or running a full-blown travel content business, figuring out what to charge can feel like the Wild Wild West. We see what other creators are charging, pick a number that sounds good, and hope it somehow makes sense.

But are you actually making a profit?

In this episode, I’m joined by profit strategist Michelle Denio to talk about how to price your work based on actual numbers — not vibes, what anothe...

What happens when you throw a completely unhinged idea onto TikTok… and then 40 strangers actually show up? 

Maddy Garrett knows a thing or two about turning travel content into an actual travel community.

After moving to Lake Tahoe and realizing she knew approximately… nobody, Maddy posted a TikTok asking, “What if we got a bunch of single people together and went camping?”

The internet said YES.

Within a week, her Facebook group had 4,000+ people. Two weeks later, 40 strangers from across the U.S. showed up for a camping trip in the Ne...

Today’s episode is a little different because I’m actually stealing an episode from my friend and podcast producer  Marie’s podcast, Your Girl, where we sat down with Andrea to talk through our biggest business lessons from July.

And honestly? There are A LOT.

We’re talking about delayed gratification, client rejection, self-trust, networking, burnout, CEO time, making more money by doing less, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for your business is… go outside.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

If the word “website” makes you want to crawl under your desk and never come out, this episode is for you.

Because apparently, you do not need a giant, expensive, perfectly designed website to start building your business online. 

You just need somewhere on the internet that you actually own.

In this episode, I’m chatting with my friend Andrea, owner and lead designer of Merveille Creative Studios, about websites, SEO, branding, and what creators actually need when they’re building a business.

In this episode, we’re talking about why email marketing might be one of the most overlooked tools in a travel creator’s business — and why building an email list can completely change the way you...

 I had to build my creator business all over again, I'd make way fewer things... and a whole lot more money.

Seriously.

There are so many things I spent time worrying about that didn't actually grow my business. Looking back, there are only a handful of things that truly moved the needle, and if I were starting from zero today, I'd ignore almost everything else.

Because that's exactly what Pinterest can do.

And if you're anything like me, you've probably been treating Pinterest like that app you open when you're planning a trip, redecorating your apartment, or convincing yourself you'll start meal prepping next week.
