“I just really think that the team at possible really puts together conversations that are future facing. Everything that I have seen happen here as stoked a little fire in my brain of how can build towards this.”

In this episode of the Entreprenista Podcast, Courtney sits down with Nikki Scott, Head of Partnerships at TikTok, angel investor, and creator economy expert. Nikki shares how she helped build TikTok's brand partnerships organization from the ground up, why saying "yes" before you're ready can transform your career, and the mindset shifts that separate successful founders from everyone else.

From growing global teams and identifying standout talent to investing in early-stage startups, Nikki offers an inside look at what she's learned working at the intersection of technology, creators, and entrepreneurship. She also reveals how small business owners can leverage TikTok authentically, why storytelling is one of the most valuable business skills you can develop, and the simple confidence-building habit that has changed the way she approaches opportunities.
