Today we’re speaking with Ariadna Jacob, CEO of Influences. Ari went from successful entrepreneur to instantly cancelled after one scathing article in the New York Times by Taylor Lorenz.

You can find the original article from the NYT here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/14/style/influences-tiktok-management-brittany-broski.html

A little over a year later she's suing both Lorenz and the New York Times for $6.2M for defamation. There are two sides to every story. Today Ari shares her side.

This episode is a cautionary tale for small business owners and an important conversation about journalistic integrity, client relationships and how to respond to being cancelled. Head to our YouTube channel to share your thoughts on this story.
