Episode Description

Ever fumble a sponsorship so badly you wanted to disappear? Liz burned bridges with Riverside and Shortform during her early creator days—and it was completely her fault. But those disasters taught her everything she needed to know about landing five-figure deals today.

Here's what we cover:

  • Why filming before approval can torpedo your sponsor relationships

  • The email mistake that made her quit sponsors for six months

  • How she went from reactive to strategic with brand partnerships

  • The simple shift that transformed her sponsorship business

Liz reveals the exact lessons from her biggest sponsorship fails and what she'd do differently today. Sometimes you need to break a few eggs to make the omelet.
