Maddy Garrett

Business & Entrepreneuriat

Fréquence : 1 épisode/7j. Total Éps: 57

Welcome to the side of the internet where we get paid to travel. In this podcast, I will teach you how to create UGC content so you can work part-time creating fun content and spend the majority of your days exploring the world, rather than sitting at a desk. All while making MORE money than we did at our soul-sucking 9-5. Does that sound like a dream? Well, it’s my reality and it can be yours too.

I’m your host Maddy Garrett, your UGC Travel Bestie. I help everyday people just like you start their own UGC digital nomad business so that they can achieve this kind of life-changing freedom, too. I’ve taught over 2,000 students in my Masterclasses, Programs, and 1:1 Coaching, and I educate my audience of 40,000+ ambitious dreamers daily on social media.

So tune in every week so you can quit your job and start getting paid to travel.

33: How to Grow Your UGC Career Without Burnout

lundi 8 décembre 2025 • Durée 34:12

If you’ve been grinding so hard in your UGC or content creation journey that you can’t tell the difference between hustle and full-body burnout… this episode is your permission slip to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and build a business that doesn’t drain your soul.

Today, I’m sitting down with my friend Jordan Flynn — a life transformation coach and somatic practitioner — to talk about the real reason creators burn out, what “high-functioning burnout” actually looks like, and how to get back into alignment so your creativity (and confidence) can come back online.

Jordan has lived the corporate burnout cycle, rebuilt her life from the inside out, and now helps women regulate their nervous systems, rebuild self-trust, and step out of survival mode. If you’ve been feeling out of alignment, stuck, overwhelmed, or just off in your content creation era… buckle up. This convo will hit home.

✨ What We Talk About

The truth about burnout and why it’s not just “being tired”
How creators end up in high-functioning burnout without realizing it
Signs your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight
Why misalignment — not workload — is often the real cause
How to reconnect with your body so you can make aligned, confident decisions
Daily micro-resets to regulate your nervous system
How to prevent burnout before you hit the wall
What to do if you’re exhausted from content creation or UGC client work
Boundaries, delegating, and raising your rates so you can work less & earn more

21: What You NEED To Know About Finances As A Content Creator: From A Small Business Tax Expert

lundi 15 septembre 2025 • Durée 52:02

Okay, let’s be real — no one becomes a content creator because they love thinking about taxes. But if you’re making money with UGC or content creation, the IRS still expects their cut. And trust me, not knowing the basics can come back to bite you hard.

That’s why I brought on today’s guest, Catina Borgman. Catina has been a tax professional for nearly 20 years. Today, we’re covering them all — from filing as a sole proprietor vs. LLC, to what you can actually write off, to the sneaky truth about “gifted” collabs..

What you’ll learn in this episode:

The difference between being a sole proprietor and forming an LLC as a content creator.
How to file taxes as a UGC creator and when you actually need to start filing.
The best system for setting aside money for taxes as an entrepreneur.
Which expenses are tax deductible for content creators (think: editing software, props, mileage, home office space).
Why gifted collabs, product trades, and hosted stays are still taxable income.
Tools and resources Catina recommends for managing money as a content creator.

17: How Goldie Replaced Nursing with UGC—and Made $7K in a Month (student interview)

lundi 18 août 2025 • Durée 43:16

This episode is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to start over — and make it wildly successful.

Today, I’m chatting with Goldie — a former nurse who swapped her scrubs for a camera and turned her creativity into a full-time UGC business. She’s now working with over 50 brands, getting paid to travel, and recently had a $7,000 month (yes, from content creation).

Goldie shares how she went from scared to pitch anything… to landing retainers, working from the road, and getting videos with millions of views. We get super real about the mental shifts, income highs and lows, and what it actually takes to go full-time as a UGC travel creator.

Whether you're just UGC-curious or already deep in the pitch grind, this convo is going to fire you up.

Highlights & Time Stamps:

[2:00] Why Goldie walked away from nursing after a back injury
[6:00] Starting from scratch — no gear, no experience, just grit
[10:00] What actually helped her build confidence + portfolio

You’ve started pitching but feel like you’re shouting into the void
