On today’s episode, Stacie talks about mimetic desire – how we desire what we see others desiring and/or having – and how it impacts our businesses in a BIG way.

Stacie deep dives into:

  • What is mimetic desire?
  • What does mimetic desire have to do with the social media comparison trap?
  • How social media and its inherent risks for mimetic desire influences our businesses and lives – and usually not in a good way
  • How to overcome mimetic desire so you can stand out from the crowd in your business - and live true to your values
  • How an “anti-social media”  content strategy can help grow your thought leadership

This podcast is for you if you’re a bit sick of the “lemming effect” of social media marketing: where every business starts to look and sound the same!
