Do You Even Influence? episodes:

November 29, 2021From @HowToLive to @TWOOBS - with founders Stef and Jess Dadon
This episode has everything for every listener. We actually struggled with whether to name the episode with it being about TWOOBS the brand or about the two founds, Jess and Stef Dadon who are on the show today.
Jess and Steff were already famous from their How Two Live blog, and then Podcast, before they started TWOOBS. This is the story of how they grew their platform and then pivoted to become founders, moving away from content creating into running the sustainable footwear brand that is all over social media.
These two are actually so OG in the blogging space that they were doing it BEFORE Instagram (when the world was still black and white).
They talk about:
How blogging has changed
How their platform helped/hindered them starting a brand
How to find loyal brand ambassadors
How the culture and waste around influencer marketing needs to change
And they share a really vulnerable story about their Jewish identity that made James cry off-air
If you are a content creator that is looking to diversify or you are thinking of starting a brand, then you need this episode.

MENTIONS:

-Their blog
-Bill Cunningham
-TWOOBS podcast
-Triangl Swimwear
-Frank body
-Rosie Waterland
-Article on Jewish Heritage
-Patagonia
-Style By Deni
-Maggie Zhou
-Claire Stevens - Mamma Mia
-Renee’s Convo CARDS
-Brene Brown
