He said, you should meet Lauren, she’s great and you guys are doing something similar, there has to be a way you guys can work together. When we connected, our first phone call was over an hour and we had so many similar stories working with influencers and had a lot of fun chatting and getting to know one another. I wrote a few articles for her magazine and we talked about having her on the show. Lauren is doing something really unique and different, which is what I have always advocated. She has her YouTube channel, but she is taking a different angle with her content by creating a magazine. It’s not an easy road and she is deinfetley taking a risk, but when she blows up, it’ll be a huge reward for her. What I love most about Lauren is her spirit and energy. Listeninig to this podcast you will see right away how inspirational she is. She has such a positive outlook on life and her career as a young female business owner.
