[VIDEO PODCAST AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE] Ashley Ballard of @closetvomit started making fashion content when she was just 17. They've been tapped by brands like H&M, Doc Martens and Ray Ban and in an industry where so many creators can end up looking carbon copies of each other, Ashley really stands out from the crowd. In this episode, Ashley and I talk about the danger of "relatability" becoming a social media performance, how real fashion challenges gender norms, and how to decide when it's time to go full-time as an influencer.
