Vanessa Gordon is talented and tenacious, and now, she is officially a unicorn!
As the publisher and founder of East End Taste Magazine, a digital publication and social media platform based in the Hamptons, New York. Vanessa has lived every minute of her life as a creative-preneur, "crayoning" stories as a kid, authoring a story at thirteen and publishing a novel.
Three takeaways from this episode...
- There’s a lot of power up for grabs — But there’s also a lot of phony baloney. Get good at figuring out which is which.
- Freelance jobs can lead to full-time jobs. Vanessa started pitching pubs and brands and became a media maven with her finger on the pulse of the Hamptons.
- Stop giving away your value for free!
After yacht-hopping, tastings, covetous trips, and a total dream job collaborating with brands and growing her blog into a publication, Vanessa has emerged with serious experience and leadership. Vanessa advises that, especially in COVID, relationships need to be nurtured more than ever because we don’t have the luxury of visiting people and spending time in-person to keep bonds strong. This is one way our businesses will emerge intact and even thriving.
Listen to this episode of Tribe of Unicorns podcast to appreciate the yearning unapologetic heart of one writer and master creator who is pulled to her craft—for herself, and maybe more importantly, for every one of her readers. Vanessa is a true influencer who doesn’t sell her soul for a "like". If there was no social media, she would still work in her very same role. That's a passion worth celebrating!
Thanks for tuning into Tribe of Unicorns. If you like what we have to say, please share this episode, and leave us a review—especially if it's a nice one. There is nothing more empowering than a tribe of unicorns manifesting dreams and aspirations. Never forget your power.
