It’s going to become increasingly difficult to get opportunities w/o either being a standout talent or well connected if you want to work in the influencer industry…
Make sure that the ppl working for you are aligned with the mission and fit the culture you’re building.

Things will start feeling more elitist and more exclusive and it’s going to be hard to get in because Influencers are not going to want to work with strangers or ppl not referred in their network due to ppl not being trustworthy or honoring NDAs.
We also have a culture that is growing to resent working for other people and not being treated as equals.
If you work for someone, it’s not your company, and the culture doesn’t exist for you, or exist for your employer and their vision.
Your welcome to build your own.

Working for an influencer often has more flexibility and perks than most startups or traditional jobs.
But w/ ppl who often have not worked traditional jobs they expect it to be as fun to make the product as to consume it.
It is still called work at the end of the day.

If people want to feel they are at play and not work, and don’t want to have to get along with other peoples personality or follow orders/instructions like most workers, they are welcome to try solo entrepreneurship…
The largest influencers in the industry can likely afford to hire who they want and entrusting someone with your reputation and legacy it’s more than appropriate to be choosy…
Do not be shocked if like more traditional industries there is more gatekeeping going forward.

There seems to be this call to influencer accountability, but that cuts both ways.
Standards cut both ways. Expect ppl in the industry to be less casual, less open, and to give less people outside established circles access and opportunity.
Casual hasn’t worked out for ppl.

As for influencers, tighten up the ship. Maybe our culture of resenting the establishment and gatekeepers was shortsighted.
We didn’t like it and felt excluded. But as our industry gets taken more seriously, it seems like we can appreciate there are reasons for qualifiers…
