As Told by Zink

When I got to a place where I could hire employees I made sure that I only took on people who trusted me, my vision and believed in the company through and through. Part of my vision was having an employment structure that was all my own and didn't follow the traditional landscape that other companies offered. A big thing for me was to create an agency by my rules and not copy other ceo'...

The beautiful thing about this journey of life is that we are constantly shedding old skin and coming into new versions of ourselves. The growing pains feel strange, painful, exciting and even confusing. However, we must be aware that this is only leading us into the next chapter of our lives where you start to realize that everything is actually aligning just as it should. In divine timing. All i...

Carly and I chat why we will always choose our non-stop industry over traditional 9-5 standards, work-life balance, routine, favorite campaigns, creators, dating and more! 

When Joe was living in New York City, he downloaded dating apps and started finding various things wrong with each app's system or rather how people were using them. Joe felt that rarely any real connections stemmed from the way people were using online dating platforms. Endless swiping, multiple dates, and not focusing / seeing through one person's connection. The pandemic hit and Joe,...

I sat down with Marlaina Pate, the Founder of the app Organically Grounded. Marlaina began her health and wellness journey when she was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 10 years old. She wanted to be proactive and ensure that she was treating her scoliosis early on to help with her future. Marlaina soon realized that treating scoliosis and learning different techniques was expensive and not...

The older I've gotten, the more intentional I am with the people I let into my circle across the board; work, friendships, relationships and acquaintances. Once they are in, I build each of those relationships on respect and loyalty while expecting the same energy in return. Remember if you want people to respect you and genuinely be there for you, you need to give off that same genuine energ...

With the ever changing landscape of Influencer marketing and being a boutique agency, I am a bit more selective with who we sign on. Reasoning is that I want to ensure that if we sign new talent we are able to get them consistent revenue and goal partnerships. We don't believe in people just sitting on the roster and I will never run my business that way. I share what I look for when signing...

In this episode I talk about how I have been finding happiness in moments, places and things while discovering so much clarity in silence. The older we get, the more selective we are with what brings us happiness, so it's important to find what those things are again and make time for them. I thrive with rituals, not routines. I then get into the difference between dreamers and doers! What se...

I've been wanting to try Reiki after hearing so many positive stories about the practice. Finally in December I booked a virtual session with Tara Méi and hopped on the podcast to record my experience just moments after wrapping. I had such a wonderful session with Tara, but felt that I wasn't able to properly speak to the energy healing as I am no expert and had only done one session. I...

Do you ever feel like you need clarity or guidance? An intuitive craving to know your next steps for growth, fullfilment and prosperity? A lot of us feel this, but don't know what to do in order to receive it. The best way to welcome direction and receive answers is to sit with yourself and block out all of the outside noise. Once you do this, the answers will come.

Carly was one of my first interns back in 2019 [picture this: only 4 clients and my vision]. Once the timing was right and I was in a place to do so [August 2021], I asked her to come on as my first salaried employee and even more MAJOR.. MY COO!! Carly has been by my side since the very beginning and her story is such an inspirational one! Not many people can say they became the COO of a company...

Something about me is I LOVE meeting new people and making new friendships! I've been this way ever since moving to New York City in 2013. I'm a different person each chapter of my life so it's important that I allow new energies into my life along the way that align with the person that I am becoming.

We are seeing the highest number of Influencer events, trips and festival houses than ever before. Are they beneficial for the brand?

I met Kyleen two years ago in LA through mutual friends. This was the same time that she had made one of the most important as well as hardest decisions and started navigating what that next phase of life looked like. I remember thinking how much I admired her bravery and ultimately doing what she knew was the right decision even though it was an extremely difficult one to make. I truly believe th...

Negative life experiences can leave us lacking confidence and playing the comparison game. After years of companies not listening to my ideas and finding myself in toxic relationships I was able to reclaim my confidence back. I now lead with confidence and embody it in every way that I can. Lets all have 'cut the line' energy and remove anything in our lives taking away from our self wor...

We discuss coming into confidence throughout our 20's, relationship non negotiables and our thoughts on partners having toxic behaviors on social media. Morgan shares how she gained a large following on Instagram in 2016, her fac...

Everyone has guardian angels / spirit guides who help them stay on course. We often mistake things not working out as us not being worthy enough, smart enough, pretty enough when in reality the reason is that it is simply just not meant for you. While you're evolving your spirit guides will help you dodge what is not meant to be part of your journey. It's up to you to understand, accept...
