227: Thriving in Unfamiliar Environments with Chloe Sappern, the Creative Brain Behind my Business

In this episode, I sit down with Chloe Sappern, my creative right hand for my brand and a close friend, to talk about Chloe’s role as a social media strategist, how she grew to build Sappern Creative, and how she navigates creativity and collaboration in her work. Chloe shares her trajectory from the Cornell School of Hotel Administration to creating her own business, what her day-to-day looks like working with multiple clients, and how we started working together off of Chloe’s cold-email. She also discusses how she tries to implement work boundaries as a self-titled people-pleaser, what she finds the most challenging about social media today, and why she thrives in unfamiliar environments. Finally, we talk about why she stopped drinking early on in college and how she navigated dating, and she answers listener questions on how she organizes her day as someone who’s self-employed and how one can get involved in social media strategy.
