What It’s About

Boo! These influencers aren’t real … but you might be seeing their posts.

Notes from Chris

Episode 2938

Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them.

Last week, we heard from a side hustler who began renting camping gear to tourists in New Zealand. Now, they organize guided wilderness expeditions for beginner adventurers, helping clients from around the world experience the great outdoors.

Today, in our latest feature, we explore the rise of ghost influencers—anonymous personas creating real engagement for brands. Hear how one edgy social media manager turned this idea into a thriving business.
