Listen "17. Why Content Creators Need to Show Up IRL: The Power of Attending Events"

Episode Synopsis

If you’re only networking in the DMs, you’re leaving major opportunities on the table.

In this episode of Dear Content Creator, I’m breaking down why showing up to events can completely shift your journey as a creator. Since 2023, I’ve attended over 20 events — from intimate brand dinners to massive creator conferences — and each one gave me insights, connections, and opportunities I couldn’t have Googled.

In this episode, I talk about some of the benefits of attending events including:


✨ How real-life networking builds stronger trust than DMs
✨ Why brand reps remember you when you show up in person
✨ The insider convos happening off-stage that can change your next move
✨ How events can spark clarity and creative momentum
✨ Where to find your fit in a crowded creator landscape
