In this day and age, social media is an invaluable tool for brands, companies, and individuals to find and connect with an audience. And that is exactly what New York based internet creator, podcast host, and author Eli Rallo has done. After her first TikTok video went viral in 2020, Eli has grown her audience to almost a million followers between TikTok and Instagram by making content that promotes authenticity and self-confidence. Now a Forbes contributor and host of the podcast Miss Congeniality, Eli’s debut book I Didn’t Know I Needed This: The New Rules for Flirting, Feeling, and Finding Yourself is filled with life lessons, tips, and advice to help you elevate your lived experience and personal relationships. In this interview, we talk about Eli’s passion for theatre and writing, how social media started as a side hobby and became her full-time job, and all of the details surrounding her first book and upcoming book tour.
