Squad Life: Lindsey Davidson The Real Deal on Influence

Lindsey and I have been "online" friends for so long we can't even remember how we met. It could have first been through our blogs or perhaps it was Instagram. She has mad style, rural roots, is a communications pro and now has added Pure Barre instructor to her resume.

Influence is something that can be really powerful. However, often we think we have to have a massive following, a strong voice or a brand before we can influence, and that can't be further from the truth. Yet it is super easy to fall into that trap. Even Lindsey and I have had that conversation.

I remember our first in person meeting was while I was in Oklahoma City on a business trip. Lindsey recommend the perfect breakfast spot for us to meet up at. Definitely Instagram worthy. We both naively shared that if only we could grow a huge Instagram following all of our problems would be solved. Live and learn, right?

Through Lindsey and I's journey on social we have both discovered that it is the meaningful comment that always matter the most. The conversations that go down in the DMs will always have a bigger impact than the perfect curated Instagram feed.

In this episode Lindsey and I discuss:

• What influence truly looks like
• What it is like to work with brands
• Girl code is sharing about all the things you genuinely love and find helpful
• How she stays so stylish
