Maya Higa is a content creator, founder of the Alveus Sanctuary, and co-host of the "Wine About It" podcast."At the start of my journey into this industry, I was cool with everybody. It took me years to realize that every relationship I have if it's within the industry I'm in, it has layers. Does that mean that they're bad people? Does that mean that they don't like me and they don't care about me? No, not necessarily. But is there a layer that they want to be my friend because I'm successful on Twitch? Yes and vice versa."Show Notes:
