Beauty School Dropout to Curly Hair YouTube Influencer Brandi Pope aka The Glam Belle MEP008

“Social media is the biggest, best, and most effective tool we can use for any business.”

In this episode, Erin talks to Brandi Pope about how Brandi went from being a beauty school dropout to forming a business out of her YouTube Channel.  Brandi reveals how she taught herself recording, lighting, and editing to make her popular videos. After recording many videos, Brandi realized all her viewers wanted to know about her hair care, styling tips, and favorite products. Later, Brandi divulges how she got recruited for a L'Oréal commercial and then gives advice on facing fears. Also, Erin and Brandi talk social media for businesses, building brands, and compartmentalizing for time management. Lastly, we find out how working on your soul and acting with intention can change your day.

Brandi Pope is a wife, a mom of three, and an entrepreneur, but she knows how important it is to take care of herself so that she can be the best in all areas of her life. Brandi has suffered from low self-esteem, lack of confidence, depression, and being overweight.  Many of her issues stemmed from childhood, she lost her dad to alcohol addiction and spent many years trying to understand life. Brandi has overcome so much through years of self-reflection, learning what true healthy living is, and her faith in God. Her passion is to motivate and inspire others to do the same.
