What does it take to succeed as a digital influencer (or dream driver in general)? So many of us often have a plan - or a vision/dream - but face challenges when it comes to execution a.k.a GETTING RESULTS. We chat with Atlanta-based Mattie James - creator of MattieJames.com. Since 2010, Mattie has collaborated with household name brands like Macy's, Cotton, H&M, Google and many more. With a social media following of over 129,000 lifestyle enthusiasts, the "Mattie James" brand has evolved into a 360 degree brand that includes a blog , 2 podcasts, a newsletter & YouTube channel, and a variety of physical & digital products.

Mattie talks her early #dreamdriving journey which includes moving to NYC after dropping out of college to moving back to Atlanta and re-discovering her love for writing and realizing she had what it took to become a "full-time influencer". Mattie talks her processes/systems for staying focused & getting things DONE. We zero in on Mattie's keys to building an audience, the art of hustling, profitable revenue models, networking & relationship building tips and much more!
