In a world where we often associate the term "influencer" with those who have large social followings, we believe that every single one of us has spheres of influence that matter, whether it's reaching 500k people on a social platform or just the people inside your home. True influence is not about the number of followers you have, but rather the genuine impact you make on the lives of others.
