You know how there are some influences that you watch every day and you just feel like they're

really cool and you want to be their friend? Well, Rachel Martino is exactly that to me.

Rachel runs her Instagram account, Rach Martino, where she has amassed a following of over

half a million people. But she's not just a super charismatic and friendly influencer,

she's also a badass female entrepreneur

who has built an incredible business that goes beyond her own personal brand.

I sat down with Rachel to talk about the beginning of her creator journey, how she grew her affiliate income during the pandemic,

built a six-figure photo studio business, and where she wants to take her business from here.

I also filmed a separate YouTube video with Rachel showcasing her colorful studio space, Dreamloft Studio.

So definitely check that out on my YouTube channel as well.

Now, without further ado, let's get into it.

I think it is something that people don't think about as much

that you are so face forward and you have this pressure to feel like you're always on. You always

have to get on stories and people want as much as you'll give them. And again, you have to kind

of set those boundaries for yourself. It is hard because you never want to feel like, oh, I'm not doing

enough. I'm not doing things that could get me to the next level of where I want to be.
