Quotes: 

“Persistence is the key to success. I always tell creators that if a brand doesn’t respond right away, keep on messaging them, you want to be on top of inbox at all time. Until somebody says, I’ve had enough of this or has given me a definite no, I keep on following up because it just means that I haven’t got that definite no yet”

“If you can find a very great storyteller and amazing creator, their ability to drive results is really unlimited”

“You always want to make sure in entrepreneurship that you’re very confident in what you do. I would recommend to everyone to think in greater depth about figuring out your core operations, what you actually need fundamentally to operate your business, and really making sure that its well put together so that your offering is extremely clear when you’re going to pitch your company”
