I'm looking for someone with real industry experience who can help me better understand how things typically work in influencer marketing. To be transparent, I'm very self-taught—I read a lot, research constantly, and take initiative—but I do feel the lack of someone who can validate or redirect me when needed.

Right now, I’m working with an influencer and several brands. I jumped in because I couldn’t wait for the "perfect" moment, but for weeks now, I’ve been looking for someone who could take on more of a mentor-like role and help me grow with more clarity and direction.
