Where I Stand on Partnerships
Happy July! “It’s the first of the mooooonth (Bone Thugs voice)!”
I hope you’re all doing incredible and being a better version of yourself today than you were yesterday!
I wanted to take a quick second to hop on here and explicitly discuss where I stand on partnerships and brand deals on the whole.
The fact is that I hate nothing more than those people who push any and all brand deals that come their way. I understand that they have to make a living. I get it, I truly do. BUT. I personally cannot push a product or service that I don’t fully believe in. If I’m not using them myself or would not use them myself, I can promise you that I wouldn’t recommend them. I’m quite well known to be blunt and straightforward (that’s putting it mildly.) I will always tell you what I believe. As such, I just want you to know that I do have some brand deals in the works (on top of the ones I already have) and that if you see them come to life, just know that I truly believe in it, otherwise I wouldn’t have signed on!
Imagine if you were to dump a box of puzzle pieces on a table and grab just one piece. There might be 3 or 4 other pieces in that entire pile that will fit with your puzzle piece. That’s how I feel about brand deals. They have to make sense. They have to FIT. Otherwise, they’re useless to us all. Sure, you could force a piece or two to maybe fit, but ultimately it’s just not going to work.
As promised, simple and to the point!
