Lauren McPhillips is a brand strategist, online community builder, and person behind the hugely popular Instagram handle ‘This Renegade Love.’ She also knows Casie from back in the day when she worked at Contiki, and they traveled to Thailand with a bunch of YouTubers & bloggers.
Lauren joins Nelson and Casie in this effervescent episode about building brands that feel good, the importance of travel, and what it’s like to have viral moments on the ‘gram.
This is the story of how one woman pivoted from traditional print journalism to online influencer marketing and then to brand strategy. It’s a conversation about following your calling and facing your fears.
Lauren has taken a stand in the past about not wanting kids, and this gets covered under the umbrella of Lauren’s fervent independence and free thinking. This episode is full of great takeaways for any brand or creator, plus it’s peppered with laughter and real talk.
I love TikTok, and I’m so fascinated by it because their algorithm and how viral you can go is absolutely wild.
