Summary

"Don't think of yourself as like this is a creator brand deal. Think of yourself as a startup." Today, I got the chance to sit down and talk with Tejas Hullur (@tejashullur), a 22-year-old content creator who has this hunger for content creation, business, and innovation that many seasoned influencers have now lost. In this episode, I nerd out with him about the creative economy, talk about how he plans to recession-proof his business, his super creative way of hiring, and what his long-term vision for his brand is. This is part 2 of the interview.
