We had so many great takeaways from our conversation with Angelle of Dashing Darlin’!  Angelle's love for fashion started back in the 80’s with those wild prints, bold colors and big hair.

Angelle eventually found herself ready to share her passion for fashion, family, and faith on a wider scale.

In this episode we chat about:

• How Angelle turned a jewelry side hustle into a successful career as an influencer with 92,000+ followers
• Managing being in the public eye with social media and how to balance that with your children
• Practical tips and examples on how to get your children (even teens!) to communicate and maintain healthy, open relationships as a parent and child

ERIN CAMPBELL, CO-FOUNDER, CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER AND CHAIRWOMAN OF THE BOARD

Erin comes from a background as Senior Vice President of shopper strategy and digital media at Saatchi & Saatchi X. She taught over 800 Walmart executives on the Millennial generation and led the team responsible for teaching about the Gen Z consumer base. Erin has done work for P&G, Philips Electronics, Keurig Dr. Pepper, Coke, Spinmaster, Tracfone, Walmart, Target and more. With a B.A. in journalism, obsession with “The Office” (also a millennial) and doing burpees in a heated workout studio, Erin is constantly pushing herself out of her comfort zone and is unashamed to ask for what she needs to succeed. The CMO’s philosophy is that marketing should offer an inherent value to the consumer. Her preferred value exchange is humor and emotion, which she believes has the power to change behavior for the better and can leaves nothing behind but a smile. She lives in Bentonville, Arkansas near the other leaders of GEN Z with her husband, son and cat, Yogi and believes women are magical.
