Notable Quotes

So I think people have just been misguided by I think stemming from all the way from the Kardashians to like now smaller influencers, just promoting any product that pays them money to say a certain thing. And I'm seeing that from both ends now kind of changing, where creators are more selective with the brands they work with. 
• If you're like strategizing all the time, you're not I think a lot of learning just happens on the fly. For me at least that's how I learned.
