Influencer question - how do you pay your staff? Hourly? Monthy? Per content creation/post? And how far out is their employment contracted with you if at all?
When I first started dating my boyfriend-now-husband in university, one of his girl-friends took me out for coffee & she asked me how I felt about her working with him, because they were good friends & did well working together in school projects (they majored in business so they did a lot of group/partner work). I REALLY appreciated that conversation, and she always made sure I was invited to get-togethers and I wasn't just a "tag-along." Highly recommend having this conversation & including your guy-friends' girlfriends in things!

Can we just all agree to make these podcasts AT LEAST an hour long? Pleaaaaase!! I like to do chores while listening and my chores last way longer than your podcast (see the predicament? Lolll!).
Sierra - Don't sell yourself short. It IS your personality. A mix of down-to-earth, honest, funny, smart and professional that is very appealing.
Can we also talk about guys being really defensive about being “friend zoned.” I’m really curious about this and also in general why they get defensive at rejection, even if the other person tries to communicate it nicely
Exactly. Girls get friend zoned just as frequently but you don’t see them getting mad and entitled about it.
Defensive about reject is possibly an ego thing but I can accept and handle rejection from them, it's not nice but it's life so I find it so frustrating when they get mean about it or take it really badly! Is it a patriarchal thing? They've never been told not before? I don't know
They get defensive because it's telling them there not good enough for you. And they don't understand why? You're single they're single, you reject them even when it's nice. Well, why am I not good enough to date you. I thought you liked me, but just enough to be friends. They also get defensive because it's not what they want. Which is fair because them telling you what they want, and you denying their offer and feelings make them want to deny your friendship offer.
Being my friend is a PRIVILEGE. They should be honored to be in my friend zone.
I despise the mentality that if a boy is mean, that means he likes you. It sends such a wrong message and sets up such a toxic mentality for both genders. I will do my best to teach my son to be better, but as he's six months old, I got some time LOL
I also have a 6 month boy! Here is to raising respectful, kind and loving boys! :)
I’m totally onboard with the girls can have boy friends … but I would loved to see Stephen or a guy perspective on this topic!
I love how this podcast gives us more of a look into your team and friendships!
You guys have such great chemistry together! So excited for new podcast!
My best friend is a guy and we've been friends since 2004 so I obviously think we can. I've been with my boyfriend since 2010 and I have to be honest it was odd for him for about 6 months to accept that I've had this 6 year long friendship with a guy as he thought it was strange, it took a while but they are a right double act now, I swear he sees him more than I do anymore.
Sierra, there IS something about you in particular! I’ve been OBSESSED with your content lately because it’s so wholesome and true and I love watching you grow as a person and a mother. I love your positivity and the messages you share. I also finally started twenty whatever this week and have almost watched all of them now! You are all so down to earth and fun to hang out with 😊
I'm loving the vibe and the type of conversations you guys are having (I feel like the different perspectives really help this)! To many more episodes!
For the influencer podcast episode, I would love to hear you talk about irrelevancy or knowing that you hit your peak on social media. I find it to be a fascinating topic. Been loving all of the episodes!
It's interesting to see this friend dynamic with hetero couples vs. queer couples. It doesn't matter whatsoever to me or my finace (we're both queer women) that all of our friends are other queer women/non-binary folks. I've also had friendships with guys and have had zero issues with boundaries - potentially because they were immediate'y "friend-zoned" because I'm queer lol
so early!! i love the dynamic between you, riayn and paloma!! so excited :)
Loved this topic and your dynamic with each other!! Congratulations Ryan and Paloma and loving all your videos Sierra!
influencer question- do you get more AdSense revenue if we play the ads all the way through compared to skipping them? if so, is it a significant difference?
Unrelated, but would love to see Kenzie back on as a follow up to the episode you did together about motherhood a few years ago, see what's changed now that you've also gone through the pregnancy/newborn process and how it differed for Kenzie since she has multiple kids
Love love love the podcast comeback! 🥰☺️
I agree.. These girls feel so natural together! I'm so glad you guys are still coming in!!
once again, a splendid episode. Totally giving me POWER PUFF GIRL vibes. You gurls inspire me :)
ah so excited for this! I love you three together!
Interesting way to think of this! I personally have quite a few friendships with guys and we all have those deep conversations and there is a platonic boundary that we are all friends. I think it depends on the people individually. I’ve always treated others with kindness and I’ve always been that go to person who people go to for advise and hugs, and I’m a huge advocate for people being their authentic selves. All I want is for others to be happy; and I have no judgements. So I’m not sure if that’s why I can platonically have guy friends easier or not. I’m sorry if I’m not wording this right lol. But I hope all of you beautiful souls are well! Thank you for the brilliant podcast episode as always! ❤️✨
I think you should tell more stories, like from your childhood or just from the past. I loved those old ones so much, I have listened to them each about 3 times. Also, I love you Sierra, and thank you so much for what you have done!
LOVE the podcast with Ryan and Paloma (well love the pod in general but extra love it with them!) but can I please request LONGER!! I think for podcasts listeners get immersed in the conversation so it’s way more satisfying if it’s longer
I am so here for the three of yall doing a podcast together. Loved this topic because my guy friend and I spoke about this before
the reason You're my favorite youtuber Sierra, because you make me feel safe❤️ safe in my own body, safe where I am, just safe. and if you can make a stranger on the other side of the world feel that way, grace is going to grow up feeling so safe🥰
When I was about 8, my two best friends were boys, they were so much more straightforward than girls, as I knew exactly which ones liked me and which didn’t. I was the only girl invited to their birthday parties. At uni, I considered most of the guys I knew as brothers. I had a crush on a guy on my course who was gay, but once I found that out, he eventually became a really good friend ( we were in the same town for part of our third year language placement). A lot of them I knew through the Christian Union, and some of the guys there were really off with me as I am quite tactile, I would dress up for church/student faith events and love doing my hair and makeup. I hate the girlfriend/boyfriend comments when two babies/toddlers are playing together, and all the clothes about being daddy’s little princess/a future heart-breaker or mummy’s little man. Blech!
So excited for this rebrand! My question would be what steps do you take to keep yourself and the people in your life safe while still sharing your life online?
How Do you keep a work life balance with your employees and set boundaries when they are some of your best friends ?
Yasss….to the influencer content! I’m here for it all♥️……Question: How did you find a manager? Can you speak to the percentage that’s typical for a manager to receive? Fill free to elaborate
I'm obsessed with the dynamic y'all three have, I'm so happy to listen!
edit: i'm a little further into the episode now! this conversation means so much to me. I'm an enby lesbian who had literally zero queer representation growing up. Like y'all said, I constantly heard the narrative that I *must* have crushes on my boy friends. It was so confusing and I get sad when I think about how much time it has taken me to unlearn those harmful words. Thanks for talking about this, especially from a parental point of view!
What is enby?
@@mybigyearthey're nonbinary. Enbie is sort of a spelling out of the letter NB which stands for Nonbinary. Nonbinary people are people who are outside of the gender binary ( male and female). (The word lesbian Incase u r wondering how someone can be a Nonbinary lesbian can apply to any nonman with attraction to nonmen and it's up to Nonbinary people how they want to classify they're sexuality since they fall outside of the gender binary.)
As a woman in here early twenties I love listening to the three of you talk!!
I’m not going to lie, I was really worried that I wouldn’t enjoy the podcast as much because I really enjoyed Skylar’s presence and perspective, but I am loving the new perspectives that Riayn and Paloma bring to the table!
I really enjoy the videos with Ryan and Paloma!
Loved this
Just had the biggest realization while listening to this, like 5 years ago, a guy that im friends with told me he liked me like a month AFTER i had just gotten into a relationship with my now fiancé. Now realizing that was kinda disrespectful to me and him. The friend at the time was in a bad place and felt very vulnerable and needed someone and saw that I had my life together.
Also, question for the influencer/social media podcast.. Is it worth it to pay for ads on social media to get your videos out to more of an audience?? Thanks!
I think you sell yourself really sell yourself short Sierra! I think the fact that you aren't problematic at all, and are a genuine nice person really makes a difference and sets you apart, your content isn't always typically interesting in my opinion but you make it really interesting! Not a lot of people can have your content and be equally as popular as you are. I don't want any other vloggers and you and Mia Maples are the other ones I can watch this kind of content and it's less the content and more the person you come back for. I'm willing to watch you paint a wall for two hours if you were to do that. But yeah, your great personality is a huge selling point for you I think
Do you have some tips for feeling confident in front of the camera? What can I do that my photos/videos (body language, facial expressions) don't look so forced/unnatural?
In high school my sister and I (we were in the same year/class) became real good friends with 2 guys and all of our classmates said that we will end up in a relationship with one of the guys. That never happend and we were best friends for years. I currently am friends with only one guy and he is gay - no one ever doubted that we can just be friends (because there is no chance of a relationship)
I always had boy friends and girl friends equally in school years. But once i left school i dont know what happened but the guys just faded out. That always makes me sad, because we always had sooo much fun and soo many laughs. The guys always had a different perspective and were pretty funny and all round genuine friends. I also had many gay friends also, that we still talk. Once the straight guys got partners i feel like thats when they disappeared. Maybe its because of that? Always makes me sad.
Enjoy hearing all your viewpoints! Such an interesting podcast 😌
I am in college and one of my best friends is a guy! We’ve known each other for like 3 years and have a built up trust. This conversation was so interesting
I would have loved to hear more about how being fat or not fitting into traditional beauty standards affects this conversation. Often with guys I am friends with, it’s just assumed that he wouldn’t be attracted to me because I’m not a size 4. It’s tough to navigate conversations about this when it’s almost ingrained in me that they wouldn’t feel that way about me anyways. Which is obviously not true, but is a nuance of this conversation that I think we missed out on.
As far as the influencer questions go, I am curious if you feel differently about “fans” or supporters or whatever if they are also on social media/an influencer vs if they’re private on social media.
💜🙌 this! My best friend of 25 years is male, so yeah. I have been happily married to my husband for 20 years and they get on well, but it did bother my husband in the early days. Before I was with my husband, my bestie and I got asked if we were dating ALL THE DAMN TIME... even by our families. It's getting old.
Yes. Some guys and some girls can be just friends. One of my best friends is a guy. We don't hang out alone for respect for our spouses, but we are best friends and talk all the time especially during baseball season. We worked together for 6 years side by side and our spouses know we talk all the time but there has to be trust on both sides!
my favorite quote of the episode "if people act like they don't like you. believe them" hahaha
I love the friendship between you guys.My Question is how do u deal with people staring at you with being with your friends with the camera in your hands
Questions for next episode...The more traction you get from social media, how do you not let it get to your head? Do you ever feel like people need to know who you are when you walk in to a store? The answer is probably no, but deep down do you deal with that all?
I'm very aware of this topic, and of course everyone can be friends. Friends are friends.
I'm so glad that when I was a child and teenagers I was in a group of friends which where mixed with boys and girls.
My now bf of 6 years and father to our child where bestfriends for 7 years before dating.. ( ohhhkaay we had a special chemistry the whole time) buuut my closest friends are guys and he has no issues with that because we are friends. :)
loved this podcast!! my question: first of all, do ryan and paloma get paid to be on the podcast with you? and also do I actually help influencers by watching the full add?
YES!! Thank you for talking about this!! The majority of my friends have always been guys and my husband has always been cool with it. His friends are also my best friends. In high school though I had to be brutally honest and down right MEAN to some of my guy friends to get it through their big fat heads that I was not interested in them romantically. I straight up had to tell my best guy friend that romantically he repulsed me and the idea was absolutely disgusting to me. His feelings were hurt but he got over it and we are still best friends 😂 And his wife is now one of my very best friends and my husband is one of his best friends. And him and his wife are the very best auntie and uncle to our daughter 😂😁
Tbh that’s odd that you’re best friends with a guy that wanted to be with you romantically. Sounds like a receipt for disaster
@@Jo-vu1me It was weird for awhile but being brutally honest with him help. I really don't think he ACTUALLY liked me. I think I was just one of the only girls that was ever nice to him. Or in general. We lost touch for a little while and then after he met his now wife all 4 of us became really good friends. People grow up and change 🤷♀️
I’m definitely trying to make it so can be home with my little guy my biggest struggle is editing what are good editing tips
How does it feel having a lot of your friends work for/with you on your channel?
Influencer question: I just started my channel a year ago, and though I know what I could do to be making money from it fairly quickly, those are the things I'm just not interested in. (Family vlogging, videos putting my children fron and center things like that) I do cooking, cleaning and grocery hauls normally. I'm trying to think of video ideas, but everytime I come up with one I convince myself it's a stupid idea and nobody will watch it. How do you get over the self doubt and just do it. How do you know if your idea is actually a good idea?
As someone who has always been friends with more men than women I'll say this..after you're all grown up and everyone is married it is almost impossible to be friends with a married man unless you are friends with his wife too...it becomes like couple friendships or nothing. I think it's different when everyone is young and single versus everyone older and married. And yes I get it...if some woman was friends with my husband and wanted no relationship with me I'd be not cool with it either...so I think there are dynamics that change as you age and form families etc.
Okay, I had to click this! So my bf and I had this convo recently, and all his friends agreed with him. Basically they said no you can’t be friends with the opposite sex in a relationship. They said if men are a friend with a even remotely attractive girl they would have s*x with them any chance they got, so it’s too risky (they said most guys wouldn’t cheat, but if the girl is in a relationship it doesn’t matter). I was stunned by this, and was kinda grossed out about it but just figured I’d add this. This is about 6 guys opinion, all living in LA so take that what you will. 🤔
I think a guys opinion on this question is important to the “why”. I hear guys say this too and I don’t live in LA, but I do think guys and girls can be friends. It just depends on the circumstances and transparency in the friendship.
@@alisha1377 yes, totally agree. I guess the big thing here is don’t seek out friendships of the opposite sex while in a relationship, especially if your looking for comfort and support in a friend due to a any sort of conflict in your relationship. A friendship with the opposite sex can totally work (in my opinion), but clear boundaries with the friend and good communication with your partner is key!
I've always been interested in the financial side of being an influencer, and I feel like that's what no one really talks about because talking about money can be weird. Definitely don't feel like you need to include exact numbers, but I was wondering if you could share more about how you make your money? Like how much adsense you make per video on your main channel compared to the vlog channel (or even this channel!), sponsorships on different platforms. I've also ALWAYS been intrigued as to how influencer trips work. Like how much stuff do brand usually pay for; I know the event themselves but do they pay travel, hotel rooms, food, etc? Also do you get paid for being a featured creator at Vidcon, and do they cover any of your other expenses for going to the convention? I saw someone else bringing up at what rate do you pay the people on your team, but also do they have benefits like health insurance, retirement, PTO, parental leave, etc? Also is it weird having your friends (and Stephen, I remember him being a part of your team a while back but didn't know if he still was officially) on your payroll?
The problem is because kids are way over sexualized and most kid shows and movies have some form a romantic relationship in them. Furthing the idea of always being in love and looking for a relationship when like yall mentioned...they're KIDS.. We do not do a good job a protecting our children in our society unfortunately.
My Influencer question: I have youtube channel I just started (Seirra you have greatly inspired me to start one!) however I'm only two videos in and can't get out of my head. I'm 25 and feel too old and too late in the game to start. I can't get over my voice or how I look. And mainly I have thoughts of "Why are you even trying this" "Why do you think anyone would even watch you?" "You are cringe" etc... I started my channel to help me become more confident and not hate myself as much because I figure if I face my fears front and center of being self conscious I will eventually have to conquer them. Any advice??
I’d love to hear more about Riayn’s performance career! Was she paid for the Spring Awakening role? What else has she auditioned for?
I feel like this whole episode was just confirming that if the man and woman are both single, they can’t be “just friends” without at least one of them catching feelings at some point. But I totally agree about what y’all said about kids being friends regardless of their genders. It’s so weird that we grow up being told boys are gross and have cooties and boys grow up being mean and picking on girls that they like.
I also think another part of this issue is how men and women are taught to view sex. Men are taught that sex is something they take/need to convince their partner to do. And also that sex is something that increases their social status. So, if women “hold” this thing that men really want (for any reason) and women are taught that they have to gatekeep sex because it would make them a “slut”, then men are incentivized to prioritize “getting” sex from anywhere they can get it. So, they only see value in women if they perceive a chance to have sex with her. I agree that their lack of emotional intelligence and connections due to socialization is one half of it, but the other is our society’s views on sex. Plus, I think the demonization of feminine interests teaches men that women like different (and less important) things than them.
Influencer/Model Question - How do you find brands that are looking for sponsored content or need models for their brand?
Also love love love all of your content and how much your channels have grown since first finding you in 2017!
I love that the white claws have become a part of the podcast.
For the influencer podcast: how do you stop yourself from comparing your content/success to someone who is doing better? OR if you can’t stop yourself from doing it, how do you deal with those feelings in a healthy way?
I literally squash the they are "your girlfriend" with my toddler son. it's like let them just be friends! friendship is so effing important period
anyone else absolutely loving this trio :)
Influencer Question: How do you deal with the hate and malicious criticism? The main reason I haven’t started a UA-cam channel is because I’m afraid of getting hurt by comments ☹️
Sometimes they do talk about their crushes. They'll start describing a girl who sounds mighty familiar and ask if they should make a move.
Influencer/UA-camr question - I’ve always wondered how the income works in this sort of job. Is the majority of the income coming for partnerships and deals outside of the social media platforms or UA-cam, or do you earn mostly from the platforms themselves. And if the platform is paying you, how is that regulated in terms of who is paid what and how much (like, based purely on views or subscriptions or what?). I know finances can sometimes be a sensitive topic for some people so feel free to pass on this question if you’re not comfortable talking about money.
It would be so cool if you redid this topic with Stephen to get a guys perspective. I have an 18 month old son and having a boy has been so different than what I expected. He’s so sensitive and emotional and just wants love and connection and I’m so scared that along the way society is going to make him think that it’s wrong or weak to be this way. It would be so nice to see more role models for young boys who celebrate meaningful connection and normalise having both close male and female friends. ❤️
Would you gals say quantity or quality of content is more important when starting out?
Influencer question, how hard do you actually have to work if you want to become an influencer. A lot of people see it as an easy job and then some people on the other side of the spectrum say it’s very hard. What do you say it is harder than the average job or easier and in what ways?
My husband’s 2 closest friends are both girls. His best friend he’s been friends with for years before we met, the other he met at work after we had been married.
And my 3 year old son is friends with girls. I trust my husband’s friends, but they are more his friends than anything. I hate how people put that out there.
I always find the "can men and women be friends?" conversation interesting, because while yes I *absolutely* believe they can...I have a horrible track record of being only friends with guys. I currently have four guy friends: one is an internet friend and he's gay so that's definitely never becoming anything, one was my best friend's friend first so we're kinda more friends in law than proper friends (and also we've only hung out together once even though we send each other tiktoks from time to time), one is my ex and lowkey I might actually hate him, and the fourth is someone I'm kinda into but we only met a few months ago and he just got out of a relationship so I'm definitely not going to pursue anything anytime soon.
Influencer question/thought/musing: Y'all talked about the embarrassment of filming/taking pictures in public, but have you felt the embarrassment of people who know you irl judging you? I feel like when acquaintances from high school or something start having or trying to have social media businesses, my friends are so judgy and honestly I feel a bit of judgement too. I know it's illogical and mean because I am a big content consumer and follow and interact with many influencers on multiple platforms, but there's this feeling of like, "I went to high school with you, how are you important enough to be an influencer?" Or something like that. Maybe it's the idea that if you're trying to be or are an influencer, you think that what you have to say is important. It's easy for me to believe that about strangers, ie. "Of course what Sierra has to say is important and has important in my life for a long time," but it's harder for me to believe that about random acquaintances and hardest to believe that about myself. Does any of that resonate with y'all? Did you feel nervous that people who knew you irl would think you were being self-important or full of yourself or even just silly when you were starting out?
Very long just musing about something that's made me nervous to even just like interact with people too much on my Insta stories sometimes! I think it also ties into what y'all have talked about before of not wanting to be seen as a "try hard," even though I often am! But there's something about being a social media try hard that feels different for some reason, even though I don't think that whatsoever about any of the influencers who I follow. If you end up talking about this in the next podcast, def feel free to cut it down/summarize/use it however makes sense!
Interesting thoughts! For me at least, I do feel a little judgmental of people who are looking to do social media FOR the clout. But anyone looking for a platform to say something they feel passionate about I wholeheartedly support whether I know them in real life or not…
@@shinadevon4464 That's a good distinction! I guess maybe I assume the worst about people I vaguely know, that I think they're doing it for clout or something. Whereas if someone who I was close friends with wanted to have a social media career, I think I'd be really supportive because I'd know that they did want to share something important that they felt passionate about, I wouldn't assume they were clout-chasing.
My oldest sons best friend is a female. My husband’s best friend is male, but he has a few female friends that are very important to him, thankfully I adore them and when he gets to hang out with them, I tell him I’m jealous of him not them 😂.
here's the thing, I CANNOT bring myself to tell a guy friend that I have feelings for him. I value the friendship too much and just keep it to myself. I don't want to ever explain my feelings and rather than them just being like I want to stay friends, they just leave all together.
With toxic masculinity, there’s a lack of being able to be emotionally vulnerable. So often times when me are in romantic relationships with women they are very open and emotional. They are taught that ONLY their romantic partner should see them this way, which imo stunts the way men and women are as friends. Women have open and emotional relationships with each other so it is normal for that level of emotional intimacy.
The caveat I would put on this is my knowledge of it is very binary, I’m not sure how this extends to the LGBTQIA or trans communities.
How much do influencers make?
My guy best friend ghosted me because he was so afraid I had feelings for him. It was true but I was fine being just friends and was so broken with the friend ghosting. Dont do that.
I have two boys and people would always comment on them when they were babies that they were flirting. He’s a little flirt because he’s 5 months old and smiling back 🥴
the entire time I thought Riayn and Paloma was dating 😅
No. Most times you cannot. So many guys will take the chance if the opportunity presents itself.
I think a lot of men say no, because of how boys are taught to see women. A lot of biases still come through and it might not be “manly” to be the guy whose friends with girls unless he’s trying to hookup. I feel like that is part of it.
Can men and women be friends. . . Yes. But I think it can be hard when the guy is single. I've had MULTIPLE guy friends cut off contact with me after years of friendship once they get a girlfriend. I am always surprised when it happens somehow.
They can. But odds are at some point someone will feel more for the one than the other does. In my opinion most guys, if they knew 100% that sleeping with you was off the table, probably wouldn't be your friend anymore. That's just been my experience anyhow.
Completely agree. I think sometimes it can happen but very rarely.
My husband has a friend that is, not only a woman, but his ex. I 1000% trust him and I have had no issues. To me, it's all about trust and gender really doesn't play a factor in that. I always see posts about "my man can't have a female friend" and it's all just so weird to me.
Oh my gosh I have so many opinions on this topic but imma start with my question for the next pod... Do you think it's super important to pick a niche and how do you determine that? I've gone back and forth on starting a channel/pod/something but I have so many interests and don't really know how to drill down to one thing...
Now back to my opinion, (and I'm only half way through adding this so my apologies if you bring this up). I think men are so afraid to have friendships with women for a lot of reasons - one being the narrative of the crazy controlling girlfriend who thinks every girl is a threat, which - while some girls like this exist, I think is vastly overblown in the media. 2 - I think some guys have the "what if someone accuses me of sexual assault" mentality, which I find is something you see especially in the church (I'm a Christian but also consider myself a liberal). They're so afraid of being accused or "not knowing where that boundary is" which I think is crap. They just use that as an excuse or a crutch. It's crazy.
Just my 2 cents.
Name all the positions of people you hire that goes into being an influencer: accountant, photographer, editor, manager, etc.
Why do you want to be an influencer? *not in a shady way, just wondering what the motivation is.
I shared with my partner about the guy friends i had back in HS, i honestly thought i had a bro dude friendship with them but seeing my partners view was interesting. He said it seemed they might’ve had something for me secretly. Now, they all stopped talking to me. Idk why Lol
But definitely you can be friends with the opposite sex!
Influencer question: how to grow Instagram best?
Long vid.. how long to say yes.
I don't have any straight male friends, becuase all of them have tried to sleep with me. I do have gay male friends tho.
I think a lot of guys aren’t super emotional intelligent or aren’t very driven by their emotions
My husband and I were best friends for 4 years prior to dating. We would sleep together occasionally when neither of us were dating people but kept boundaries when either of us were dating someone. We were very open with significant other’s about us being best friends and how that was not going to change. Guys would get jealous but never voiced it to me because I was open about that fact.
I always lose friends when a guy gets a girlfriend. I tell guys my friends outrank you.
Also like .... What if your kid is trans or non-binary? Why are you pushing gendered roles so hard? I'm glad we're having this conversation.

I need viral TikTok
