Making More Money Than Creators With 10x Her Following: Elise Maric.

60 min

show notes.

Welcome to Eat the Menu — a new format where I interview someone
while eating the entire menu at one of my favourite Auckland restaurants.

Today we speak with Elise Maric at San Ray — 118 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, Auckland.

Elise built her audience at Otago University documenting hostel life,
works in social media by day, and is one of the most brand safe creators
in the game — which means brands pay her more than people with way bigger followings.

We talk about how she got confident on camera, why brand safe creators
are quietly winning, creative burnout when your job and your passion are
the same thing, and why she went from 8 years vegetarian to pescatarian
because she caught a fish.

Also — San Ray is genuinely one of the best restaurants in Auckland
and this episode will make you hungry.
