Origins of Influence is a limited podcast series exploring the untold stories of the internet’s earliest creators—and what happened next. Hosted by longtime marketer and early fashion blogger Dina Fierro, the show revisits a pre-algorithm era when influence was built through authenticity, community, and creativity on platforms like Blogger, Tumblr, and LiveJournal.
But this isn’t just a nostalgic look back. Through intimate conversations with pioneering influencers, digital creators, and brand founders, Origins of Influence examines how early online visibility became a launchpad—for companies, consultancies, creative reinventions, and cultural impact.
Each guest reflects on the evolution of their digital presence, the shifts they've navigated both online and off, and how they've used social media as a tool to chart their own path—whether through entrepreneurship, advocacy, or advisory work.
Whether you're a creator, marketer, or digital culture enthusiast, this series offers insight into how influence is built—and rebuilt—over time.
