23. Whitney Eckis is a San Diego BOSS. LADY. Her and I have been friends for quite some time and we just talk like we’ve known each other in the womb lol. Whitney is the founder of Eckis Marketing, a full service marketing agency specializing in brand development and growth strategy. She has worked with top brands such as Marriott, Hilton, Red Bull, SoulCycle, SUJA, Kopari, Kendra Scott and more. We weigh in on what it’s like being social media managers and how to unplug, as well as personal issues like struggling with depression.

 

We also talk about:

• Our teeth lol
• How Whitney started her agency and scaled it to where it is now
• Freelancing versus having an agency
• Hiring to train employees versus hiring experts
• Being needy bitches in a relationship :)
• Constantly pouring out of your cup to fill others’ around you
• Setting boundaries with clients
