With a social media following of over 175,000 lifestyle enthusiasts, the “Mattie James” brand has evolved into a 360 degree brand that includes a blog , 2 podcasts, a newsletter & YouTube channel, and a variety of physical & digital products.

Mattie talks her early #dreamdriving journey which includes moving to NYC after dropping out of college to moving back to Atlanta and re-discovering her love for writing and realizing she had what it took to become a “full-time influencer”. Mattie talks her processes/systems for staying focused &  getting things DONE. We zero in on Mattie’s keys to building an audience, the art of hustling,  profitable revenue models, networking  & relationship building tips and much more!
