During the 32nd episode of On Purpose, host Alex Beadon, sits down with Alex Wolf, the original founder of Boss Babe, to discuss what it takes to become a marketing prowess and social media success. The two discuss the direction of direct consumer marketing and how people can form a brand that makes a difference.

Three Key Points:

2. Online marketing through social media isn't much more than finding your personal brand, sharing authentically, and building trust with your followers.
3. The massive increase of ads in the online space could be affecting us negatively.

While fighting for her life, she received her Nutritionist certification and began experimenting with natural healing techniques including using superfoods. That's when she decided to create SUTRA's beautiful Turmeric Latte and Cacao latte, and created a business to help people nourish their body. What I find so interesting about Ashley is that she turned her life's greatest struggle into her life's work and she's a beautiful example of never giving up.
