Welcome to The Friend Series! In this premiere episode, we're diving deep with my best friend from high school, Samantha Gleave, who transitioned from Creative Director at a leading luxury bedding brand to becoming a successful content creator and mom influencer.
Learn how she leverages social media to build authentic connections - both offline and online, monetize her platform and balance motherhood with being a creator.
Samantha shares invaluable insights from both sides of the creator economy - her experience as Creative Director at Cozy Earth and now navigating being an influencer and content creator in the competitive Utah market.
She reveals her strategies for content creation, pitching to brands and growing an engaged following through life's major milestones - all while staying true to her core values and showcasing intentional content.
Beyond the business aspects, discover how Samantha cultivated meaningful friendships through social media that supported her through marriage, motherhood and life's biggest transitions.
She breaks down her approach to balancing family life with content creation, and why joy-driven content and gratitude remains at the core of her success and fulfillment.
This episode is essential listening for:
