I was recently talking with a young influencer and I offered to send her one of my books. “I don’t read books,” she said. “OK, how about an audiobook?” “I don’t listen to books either.

I started dreaming of creating a tool for ice facials when I realized there was no easy and accessible tool out there. My mom and I were both obsessed with using cold temperatures to increase cellular turnover, reduce inflammation, and firm the skin, but I hated the experience of having to hold an ice cube in my hands for minutes at a time. I was shocked to find there were no solutions on the market, so asked my partner, Lewis Battersby, if we could use his 3D printer to test some ideas.

In my agency days, I once woke up at 5:00 am to meet a TV host at my client’s donut shop for a behind-the-scenes first look at their pumpkin-spiced lattes and donuts. (In Indiana, we love our donuts.) The TV coverage was great, but you know what made an even bigger impact? The Instagram stories the media personality shared. In the last five years, influencer marketing has come a long way from an experimental content-for-product swap to a full-fledged marketing tactic.

Remember the story about Plato’s cave ? Here’s a refresher. One group of people lives in a cave only sees shadows; the philosopher who escapes can see things for what they are. That’s somewhat how it feels when making conclusions about B2B marketing without the right stats.
