Hi and welcome to Volume 20 of Content People.
Happy September. I’m glad to be here with you. 🍂
Some good content for the week:
The Content People Episode
Dieux Eye have a great guest for you. (Not sorry.)
Charlotte Palermino. Co-founder of Dieux Skin. A truly famous TikTok skinfluencer and the woman who will not stop talking about SPF. (Plus Hailey Bieber and Harrison Ford use her moisturizer.)
We talked about how she gets her TikTok so good, founding a business based on products - not ingredients, and why she paid her brand designer with equity in Dieux Skin.
Check it on Spotify, Apple, or Google. We’re on Amazon Music now, too.
Reading
10x is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less, by Dan Sullivan.
The book encourages focusing on one or two really big, ambitious goals (something you want to “10x”) rather than aiming to slightly improve (or “2x”) a whole lotta things.
The rec came from Ellen Gillis, a Leadership & Development coach who’s also been on the Content People podcast. Ellen just started her own substack - check it out here.
Listening
🎧 Tomato Girl Summer playlist by TikTok’er Hope Woodard. I really like following Hope on TikTok, where she shares lovely little playlists like this (among other things).
If you’re like: WTF is a Tomato Girl Summer? It’s not another Gen-Z aesthetic, is it?
🍅 One: Yes it is. Let me direct you to Teen Vogue’s coverage here.
🍅 Two: Get with it because summer’s almost over and who the fuck knows what autumnal aesthetic awaits.
🍅 Three: I predict a Kale Girl Fall. Think: “colorful academia” with youthful 90s vibes, veggie soup recipes, tube socks, and vintage backpacks. (If I’m right, someone please witness me!)
The Quote
"It's not hard to end up in work situations where you are doing a lot of the same things you were doing in your childhood."
- Dr. Lindsay C. Gibson, best-selling author of Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People in her Content People interview. (Listen on Spotify, Apple, and Google.)
PS. Thanks to Hanan Harb Sahourieh for her Content People shoutouts on LinkedIn. She highlighted the above quote last week. Hanan, grateful to have you as a listener :)
Following
The Dave Portnoy vs. Dragon Pizza incident.
What shocked me the most?
Dave’s still putting two spaces after a period (see here). Dave, c’mon. It’s 2023. Clean it up.
