Meet Tori Bollendorf | Content Creator and Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tori Bollendorf and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tori, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
Yes!! I have two actually. One is “Throw me to the wolves and I’ll return leading the pack” and the other is “if you’re going through hell, keep going.”
Both of which I have tattooed on me. I’ve gone through more than most 26 year olds have to, both good and bad but it’s made me who I am and I couldn’t be more grateful. Im always searching for quotes that uplift and remind me to keep going no matter what life is throwing at me, if I stay determined and on track, even if I have to push harder than it seems everyone else is, I will succeed. And so will you!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’ve worked in the veterinary industry, law practices, restaurants, retail businesses, Ive even owned and operated a licensed doggy daycare and overnight kennel. The adult industry was never a thought it my head until the pandemic, I was running my kennel at the time and when everyone’s home from work, they don’t need a doggy sitter 🙁 so I had to look elsewhere and I wanted to get creative. Getting to where I am now in the adult industry took A LOT of time and thought before I even decided to start! I think I contemplated making any kind of NSFW content for about 6 months during the pandemic before I finally accepted that I would be okay with whatever of mine was seen online. Which eventually I realized made me kinda miss the initial spike that the NSFW industry got during the pandemic but that’s okay. That’s one thing I tell every person that comes to me asking if they should start content creating, you MUST be okay with the idea that your content may be leaked because it is likely to happen at some point in your career. Another important thing to take into consideration is how much time and effort you’re willing to put into building yourself up in the industry. Many people think that adult content creating for sites like OnlyFans or Fansly is just making videos or pictures but what they don’t realize is that’s only about 20% of the job. 80% of it is editing, promoting, marketing, managing those accounts and replying to all and working your social media accounts CONSTANTLY! Especially in the beginning, you want to try and catch every time zone to gain the most exposure. It’s not an industry you just make quick cash in and a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that so they start putting things out and instantly regret it when it doesn’t payoff as quick as they hoped. I just want everyone to know that this line of work is a lot harder than many think but it is worth it if it is truly something you’d like to put dedication into. 🙂

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Ooooh, if we’re talking Arizona there’s endless places to have an amazing day/week. I am a hiker and nature lover, I spend any free time I have in the woods foraging for edible plants and mushrooms. So no matter what, a long hike is most definitely going to be on our itinerary. The most beautiful and easily accessible places I’ve come across while traveling in AZ is Mount Lemmon about an hour from Tucson. You’d think being in the desert you wouldn’t find many pine trees and forested areas but up there is like a serene green haven with wildlife and endless trees. I’d take my friend there, pack an amazing brunch and mimosas picnic and an overnight bag and we’d stay until the stars come out to camp until sunrise! The views there are absolutely astonishing. Mount Lemmon is amazing 24/7 imo. Food wise, hmm…. I love Mexican food and Arizona has some of the best so you could expect to eat a lot of that on our tour. And if we get the late night munchies, we’re running to Raising Cane’s, you can’t get that everywhere so you gotta get it while you’re in town!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have a very small circle but in that circle are the most incredible, honest and real people I could’ve ever come across. They know who they are, some friends that became family, cousins that became siblings. You need loved ones around you that will be honest with you, never lie and help you work through anything. And that’s them. They keep me grounded, help me stay sane in this ever changing world and support me no matter what.
