Hi so this is Teja. We're here at B.O.

Live, the podcast experience.

I have the pleasure of sitting down with Ronnie Brown,

who's been one of my hugest inspirations in the Instagram space so I'm really excited to dig in with you on how

you made over a million dollars on Instagram, how you wind up building this company, you know, as you publicly said, despite being a teen mom,

what inspired you to then use that power to pour back into like tons of women across the internet so they can build their

brand in their legacy. So you know starting off at the beginning how did you

start in your Instagram career? So I started off my Instagram career back in 2011.

Oh my gosh, that's like dinosaur lamb right there.

2011 is when I got on Instagram and I was a business owner. I owned a salon at that time and I used

Instagram to show the services that I was rendering at the salon and I was praying that someone would see it and come into my business and it worked.

And eventually I learned how to use Instagram and social media for everything.

And that's what happened. I started posting every day and if you go back on my

Instagram those pictures are still there I'm looking just a little crunchier the

pictures are a little fuzzier so I've definitely just been on that for quite a long time.
