In this episode, I sit down with Millie Adrian, a total powerhouse in the content creator world, who went from dreaming of being an Instagram model to becoming a thriving educator for creators like you and me! Millie gets real about what it took to truly understand her audience and how she navigated financial struggles during COVID. We dive into how she built her creator business without feeling all salesy and gross, sharing her success with digital products and how key community support was in keeping her going. And then—brace yourself—she tells the wild story of her YouTube channel getting hacked and the tough lessons she learned through that nightmare. We wrap up with some solid insights on scaling a business, her plans for evergreen courses, and why nailing that work-life balance is everything. You don’t want to miss this one!
