There are so many influencers with scammy practices and sneaky offers that see them benefit off the backs of vulnerable people who come to them for help. But those days are coming closer to an end faster than we realize, especially with people like my guest Maggie Patterson taking the lead. 

Maggie is committed to BS-Free marketing and messaging, and she is using her platform, The BS-Free Business, to turn the influencer world upside down. 

But she can't do it alone. Listen in as Maggie inspires us all to become business owners who operate with integrity, authenticity, and bravery.

 In this episode of the podcast, we talk about: 

  • What brought Maggie back to Instagram
  • Being the sassy big sister to her followers
  • Maggie's coaching character archetypes
  • The deinfluencer trend
  • Trusting the data, but doing what works best for you
  • Feed posts are not dead
  • The commitment to accessibility 
  • The fear of being canceled

And so much more!
