Tana Mongeau

Like it just, it was like,

I don't know, it just became who I was.

And then I woke up one day and was like, oh my God, I don't wanna do that anymore.

As you get older and your frontal lobe develops, it wasn't until like 25 or 26 where I was just like, I wanna be a person with so much more depth and substance.

And I realized the weight of my platform and like,

There were so many people doing her.

Right.

Yes.

It really did.

And I talk about this a lot as well now that especially since short form content has started to happen.

So many of these influencers now as they blow up, you know, CAA and UTA and all of these talent agencies are ready to help them.

And like they've seen all the mistakes of all of the other creators.

So they know what not to do there.

Now, everyone has a PR person, so they know what not to do.

And it was none of that.

It was boots on the ground journalism in the regard that like.

I'm not going to sit here and be like, we pioneered it.

Like, that's fucking dramatic.

But like, it was figuring everything out for the first time.

And it was convincing these brands that influencers were just as valuable as a Facebook ad.
