Ep. 195: Tarte Cosmetics is #trippin again – what can we learn from vlogger Bria Jones' Formula 1 experience?

It's a Bank Holiday BONUS episode because I wanted to weigh in on the story surrounding lifestyle vlogger Bria Jones and her decision to turn down a Tarte brand trip to the Miami Grand Prix. It's a story about the billion dollar business of Formula 1, unfair treatment, so-called 'miscommunication', alleged death threats and for some, it's also about race. For me, this entire experience is a warning for other creators. Know who you are, know your worth, seek opportunities but always, always get the information you need and always ask for what you are worth, in fact, ask ALL the questions!
