Breaking the Social Media Rules: Embracing Authenticity and Human Nature

 

In today's episode, I discuss why the so-called rules of social media are completely made-up and why understanding basic human behavior is far more important. I dive into natural laws of human psychology, emphasizing authenticity and the unchanging aspects of human connection. I share insights on the overwhelming amount of negative thoughts we have daily, and how this longing for connection and problem-solving drives social media engagement. It's not about trending audio or hacks; it's about making your audience feel seen and heard. Lastly, I stress the importance of integrating authenticity into your content and not being afraid to show different facets of your life. Join me as I encourage you to break the social media rules and focus more on genuine human connections.
