“It’s very difficult because you have to try to do as much as you possibly can in that first year to really set yourself up for the following year because every year there’s a new personality. There’s people that are always supporting you and always there for you, but there’s a new personality. That’s a fresher face, that’s a newer face that plays the game, and so it’s tough to continue that because my business ultimately is myself. I’m my own business. So you have to be able to adjust and find ways to still connect with people, grow your brand, grow your business, and be able to create monetization through that.” 17:56
