There are so many influencers with scammy practices and sneaky offers that see them benefit off the backs of vulnerable people who come to them for help. But those days are coming closer to an end faster than we realize, especially with people like my guest Maggie Patterson taking the lead.

But she can’t do it alone. Listen in as Maggie inspires us all to become business owners who operate with integrity, authenticity, and bravery.

 In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:

• Maggie’s coaching character archetypes
• The deinfluencer trend
• Trusting the data, but doing what works best for you

And so much more!
