Quotes:

“Influence is whatever platform you’re on. People think you have to be this grand person talking on stage to hundreds of thousands of people to have influence. No, you have influence in your immediate circle. You have influence with your friends. You have influence at every level.” - Tamiko Olabintan, (14:41)

“I think when you start to influence is when you have a relationship because you can’t influence somebody that doesn't connect with you…you have to be able to have a relationship and be passionate about something.” - Tamiko Olabintan, (27:08)

“The other thing I would say about influence is knowing who you are and what makes things go and leveraging that to your benefit. Then it influences others because it’s genuine. I think the ones that go viral are usually because they’re authentic.” - Tamiko Olabintan, (30:16)

“Where I’ve had the most success and where people really lean in, whether it’s clients or our team, is when they buy into that energy and that true self.” - Beth Stephens, (31:55)
