In this episode, we sit down with Milou Pietersz, founder and CEO of Simply Multimedia and a Forbes-featured strategist who built a million-dollar brand by leading from the front. She shares how founder-led content is reshaping trust, why people connect with people over brands, and what it really takes to turn content into a consistent growth engine.
