The creation of the new @ThinkLocalist Instagram account (go give it a follow!) inspired Carrie to look back at how The Localist got started, how it’s evolved, and where it’s going. Carrie examines how success is measured, how we all seem to struggle with imposter syndrome, and what’s kept her going these past 10 years. 2011 was a very different time: Carrie compares how the delivery of her message has changed, and explores her long-lasting complicated relationship with Target. Carrie wraps up with some habit changes, letting go of perfectionism, and goals for The Localist.
