We’re not just influencers.
We’re storytellers. Strategists. CEOs. And we’re done settling for free product and vague collabs that don’t respect our time, talent, or audience.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what creators REALLY want brands to know — straight from thousands of conversations, campaigns, and behind-the-scenes breakdowns.
📣 Inside this episode:
✨ Why creators are walking away from free deals
✨ The difference between influencer hype and brand-aligned storytelling
✨ What creators want in terms of pay, process & positioning
✨ How to build WIN-WIN partnerships with aligned messaging + mission
This isn’t shade — it’s strategy.
If you're a creator tired of low-ball offers OR a brand that wants to get it right — this is for you.
Because in 2025, the creators that win aren’t just trending — they’re transforming culture.
