Lego, Google, Delta.
Just a few of the brand names Ashleigh Reddy is working with after choosing to bet on herself and chart her own career path instead of going the more typical, corporate route.
How did she do it? Why did she choose to do things differently? What does it really take to succeed as an entrepreneur? Ashleigh reveals how she’s turned her passion into a profitable business, monetized her social media, and how you can land your first influencer deal as a creator. Even though we’ve been friends for years, I never knew the stories behind how she’s ended up working with big brands like Ray-Ban, Google, and Afro Tech. So press play to learn about these stories and the lessons she’s learned along the way with me, including:
- The value and impact of betting on yourself to build and grow your career
- How staying vulnerable allows you to be self-aware and keep self-doubt in check
- Ashleigh’s advice for creating multiple revenue streams and maintaining “freedom of choice”
