Today’s guest is Gigi Rodgers, whose photos of body painting on herself went viral, got published in various media outlets and grew her online following. She’s a social media and brand strategist and infuses her personality into everything she does – encouraging us all to “embrace the weird” and everything that is different about us. We talked about getting your content out there, repurposing to reach more people, pushing your comfort zone, showing up on Instagram stories, and building resilience after failing as a business owner.
