6 of 13What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome when starting out?
To be honest, didn’t have too many struggles, but if I had to identify one it is trying to tell a brand a single blog article on my site isn’t going to get the results that they are wanting. Need to tell a great story and spread it out over a few months… using multi-channels to tell it.

13 of 13What brands would you most like to work with?
I like working with brands that are making a difference every day - care about their audiences and want to make a big change in the world… if brands fit that, that’s great! Also, being a lifestyle brand, I’d really like to align with an airline and hotel chain to tell the story of staying healthy no matter where you go… I could go on and on re: this idea…. But will keep it brief for now.
