When we first asked today’s guest to come on the show, he was confused because he is certain he is not an influencer - just ask him! But with 400k on Tik Tok and 80k on Instagram, @AsapTuppy’s number’s tell a different story. 
In this episode you will hear: 

• how he went from being a construction worker and rugby player to viral sensation overnight 
• He talks to us about the ways people can look down on the type of work we as content creators do
• And the struggles he feels when thinking about leaving his full-time job to pursue this unexpected career path.

Tups is so sweet and humble and a great example of someone who doesn’t let the numbers go to his head. His story of 'regular everyday guy' to internet sensation, is one that you will need to hear. 

About Tups:
With his easy-going humour, powerful presence and striking good looks, ex-professional rugby player, Robin ‘Tups’ Wilson, 31-year-old New Zealander is fast becoming a Tik Tok superstar.  Over 4 million views on TikTok for his funny and engaging uploads since he first started posting in December. Since then, Tups has received many positive messages from people around the world appreciative of him showcasing his own culture.

Today’s guest @Alrighthey (Insta) and @Alright.hey  (Tik Tok) has been our most mentioned content-creator-inspo by other guests of the show so far.   
With 5million likes on Tik Tok at the time of this recording, it’s Alright,Hey! 
Aka Matt Hey is a multi-platform megastar and content creator and he is both hilarious and incredibly industry savvy. 

In this ep he tells us: 

• some of the rates he charges and how it can be different for different platforms
•  why it’s important for us to get more transparency about what we are charging.  
• (Side note: just going to put a little reminder in here that we have started a Facebook group so we can all start getting more transparency to do just that)
• He tells us about a time he took on a streaming giant 
• He also tells us how he handles the trolls and haters online 

So much useful advice and laughter in this one

Australia’s Biggest Glamazon, “Alright, Hey!” has been one of Australia's favourite creators since he started entertaining audiences online.

His gorgeously diverse and dedicated audience, combined with his easy mix of humour and important messaging fosters a personalised connection with his followers, taking them through his most important and relatable life journeys. 

With creative, fresh video ideas that never fail to make his audiences laugh, he has amassed close to 400,000 followers and millions of views across Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok. You may know him from his recent viral videos: investigating Red Rooster, driving with celebrities or "almost kicking a child in the face" at Ikea.

Today’s guest @Haylsa (aka Hayley Andersen) is the influencer’s influencer and one of our favourite content creators. She doesn’t say yes to many podcasts so we are thrilled that she said yes to us, because, as you will hear, she is VERY busy with her work. 
In this episode she tells us about:

•  her earliest collaborations 
• how she manages a business with her partner 
• having social anxiety while also being in the spotlight
• She also talks to us about how collabs work at her level
• and how she negotiates and ballpark figures of rates

You know we love hearing about rates on the show as it helps bring transparency and legitimacy to what we do!

Hayley says:

I grew interested in photography at a very young age, and instantly knew that it would always be a big part of my life. I started travelling with the motivation to teach myself how to get creative behind the lens, and how to edit all of my own images. For the past three years I have been living on the road with my partner @kyle_hunter, exploring over 35 countries incl. most of Europe, Jordan, Oman, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, America, Myanmar + many more. With so many countries still on our bucket list, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon!

Forever with a camera in my hand, my hope is to keep continuing to bring you all daily travel inspiration. I wouldn't be able to chase these crazy dreams of mine without you all!

Got someone you know would be awesome on the podcast? Let us know!

Felicity Jade Tully (aka Flick) is a spiritual healer, personal trainer and a fully qualified, plant based nutritionist - note that I said qualified* - this is important when we are taking advice from influencers online.
Her page started as a foodie blog and then moved into lingerie modeling and now sits somewhere in the wellness and positivity category. With a few cheeky pics thrown in. 
She is so wise and wonderful that Renee is now a regular client of hers. 
In this ep:

• She talks us through why we should all be clear on our values so that we can better decide which brands to work with.
• AND she tells us about a time where a “body positive” brand wasn’t so “positive” about her body. 
• She also spills the beans on the time she ruined a mattress she was supposed to be promoting during an R rated slip up. 
• AND about a time she got "robbed" during a photoshoot 
• 
  

Flick's Bio:

As a passionate Plant Based Nutritionist and devoted Personal Trainer I am committed to spreading a culture of holistic health and wellbeing. By motivating and educating a diverse collection of clients, they are able to reduce medications, increase their overall health profile, reduce their body fat percentage, increase focus and efficiency at work and improve their overall psychological profile. At times this calls for patience and compassion and at others a more assertive and direct approach in order to mitigate disability, restore physiological function and allow a sense of vitality to flourish.
