When you think your DMs are a circus, wait till you hear about the guy who took a walk on the wild side with a diaper – not kidding. This episode, I'm joined by Sasha Emiri, who takes us through her journey of becoming a content creator. From her 'cringy' start on Musical.ly to becoming the lifestyle queen of Twitch, Sasha's story is a testament to the unpredictable, ever-changing tides of social media.

There's more to Twitch streaming than meets the eye, and it's not just about playing video games. It's about crafting a community, bonding over shared laughs, and so much more. But it's not all fun and games; we also get real about the challenges that lurk behind the camera. From impersonation nightmares to the resilience needed when facing online trolls, this episode is a raw glimpse into the life behind the 'live' button.

Note: we do discuss contracts and other backend influencer stuff, but none of the contents of this episode should be considered legal advice, we are not lawyers. :)

Katie and I go way back, so we filmed this episode to discuss her start in the early days of YouTube, her rise to 100K+ subscribers, pivoting into short form content, and then we just go crazy with it. Vampires at Cracker Barrel. Mattress stores being money laundering. So much more. Enjoy.

Victoria and I met years ago at a local creative networking event and I've been keeping up with what she's been up to creatively. She's elevated brand visuals on both a photo and video level, but I've always been curious about the wedding photo/video business.

She told me that for her wedding, she didn't opt to have someone capture their day. Her and her husband regret this, so she offers this service to her clients and has a personal connection to each piece of work she produces. I had a ton of questions.

Oh, and we also discuss Taylor Swift, moms posting on social media way too often, and more. Enjoy the episode!
