When you put video and collaborations together, the results can be powerful.”  - April Meese   "You wanna make sure that the person that you're collaborating with is a good fit for your brand  and it's somebody that you would actually want to talk to and collaborate with. That's really important. And because that's a reflection of you. Who you bring on. Your platform and who you bring on to interview. Is a reflection of your business as well. So you wanna make sure if there is an alignment with that and your values." - April Meese "I love video collaborations because I like to learn from people and I like to hear their perspective. And sometimes they say something that, like the journey is hard, which we all know, right? It's challenging and you gotta keep going. But they say it in a way where I'm like, Ooh, yeah, that's really good. Like it just feeds my soul. So when I'm interviewing people, a lot of times, of course I learn something, but I also like to enjoy the conversation." - April Meese "Don't just collaborate with somebody because you think they have a large following. Because I can't tell you how many times I have collaborated with someone or interviewed someone that has maybe 75,000, a hundred thousand followers, and they have very low engagement. I'm not saying that those followers are bought. They could have been, maybe those followers just aren't engaged anymore. And so, I'd rather have somebody that even has a small audience that has a very engaged audience." - April Meese
