Creator Vault: Empowering UGC Creators and Influencers with Transparency ft. Mia Mirzayan (Founder of Creator Vault)

I’m beyond excited for today’s episode, because I’m joined by Mia Mirzayan: a powerhouse UGC Creator, Creative Strategist, and the CEO + Founder of Creator Vault.

After working with over 150+ brands and coaching 250+ creators, Mia saw firsthand how confusing, isolating, and unfair the creator economy can be—from scams and ghosted payments to lowball offers and lack of transparency. Instead of accepting that as the norm, she decided to build a solution. Enter Creator Vault: the first platform designed to protect creators, promote transparency, and help us all get paid what we deserve.

In this conversation, we dive into:

🚨 The biggest pain points in the UGC industry and how to avoid common creator scams
💸 How to use Creator Vault to negotiate higher rates and vet brands before working with them
⚖️ Why transparency and advocacy are crucial for the next era of the creator economy
💡 The future of Creator Vault and how it’s helping creators thrive, not just survive
🧠 Our shared experiences as neurodivergent entrepreneurs trying to build, create, and balance it all

If you’re a UGC creator, influencer, or freelance creative strategist, this episode is packed with insights to help you protect your time, your energy, and your worth—while learning how to navigate brand deals with confidence.

🎧 Tune in to hear how Mia is changing the creator economy from the inside out, and why Creator Vault might just be the tool we’ve all been waiting for.
