To close out the best season yet of BTF, Patrick decided to flip the script! That means instead of being the interviewer, he becomes the interviewee! Patrick is joined by his best friend, Peyton, who he used to host a podcast with, to be grilled on YOUR questions and topics of your choosing! Patrick is talking all things influencer, SMOOCH and even what famous people he's made out with!

This is an episode that's over a year in the making! But, I am SOOOO excited to welcome my sweet friend, Lacey aka @WeAreTheGlitterGospel to BTF! We talk about how to effectively use our platforms to share our social responsibilities and things we are passionately in support of or against. Mean people in our industry and hate messages we get or people who try to be experts about what we're going through in our own lives.

This is another re-airing of a BHM podcast that I recorded with my sweet friend, and one of the most incredible activists that I've seen in the influencer space. Tiffany is such a wonderful person inside and out and getting to speak with her about who she is, and all of the intersectionalities of her identity will forever be one of my favorite conversations. 

I learned SO much from her, and I continue to marvel at her and how she uses her platform to do so much good for her communities.

This was one of my favorite episodes of 2021. This episode originally premiered 1 year ago today, and I wanted you all to revisit it during Black History Month this year. My friend and Black influencer, Melissa aka @FabGlance joined me to talk about hustling hard, being in the industry for over 15 years, and why social media algorithms make it harder for people of color to garner a lot of impressions and views. 

She's a published author, the leader of a community for curvy women in Nashville, an influencer, AND a business owner! She does it all, and makes it look easy! I'm so happy to know her, and to be her friend!

Welcome to Week 2 of our BTF celebration of Black History Month! This week I have another amazing Black influencer joining me to talk about race in the industry, our love for Housewives and Bravo, and since she's an attorney by trade...our love for the legal aspects of being an influencer! 

Erika, @BlackGirlsWhoBrunch is a foodie, a Housewives guru, an attorney, and a Houston-based influencer! She joins us to talk about being a Black woman in a white female-dominated industry, and then her & Patrick get into a LOOOOONG conversation about their favorite tv shows...HOUSEWIVES! Hear both of their hot takes on the legal woes from RHOSLC and RHOBH, before they take a deep dive into the legal side of what it's like to work with brands as an influencer! 

You'll learn a LOT and gain new insight into just how complicating brand contracts can get, and why you should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS read them before signing!

It's February 1st and officially the start of Black History Month! During the month of February, you are going to be hearing from amazing Black creators and influencers as we continue to celebrate Black excellence and elevate the Black voices! All of our sponsored ads have been paused for the month because we will not profit off the backs of other Black creators during this celebratory and educational month. 

Ya'll know that I had to bring my bestie, Chelsea Olivia, back again to help me kick off BTF's Black History Month celebration right! We talk about changes in her life in the last year, changes in the industry, holding brands accountable for their public statements on anti-racism and systemic racism, and more! We couldn't be prouder to stand with Chelsea and to elevate her voice again this year. #BlackLivesMatter

SEASON 3 IS HERE! 

To kickoff Season 3 I had to bring on one of my absolute FAVORITE influencers and my dear friend, Emerson aka @ClassyCleanChic! 

She's a Minnesota-based fashion and beauty influencer who had such an interesting career before taking her blog full-time! She's so fun, she's hilarious and we talk about being millennials in a GenZ world of social media that constantly changes!
