S1E10 | How Easy Is It To Get It Wrong? With Margaux Parker

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” Matthew 7:12

Let’s face it, the Kardashians aren’t famous for their winning personalities, and their millions of followers aren’t subscribed to see if Kris Jenner has taught all her children the correct table manners (although, seeing Kendall handle that knife was quite concerning). If we know that a high number of online followers will boost your real-life profile, exactly how high is the fall from the top if you say or do something out of your followers' favour? 

Join Jodie and our guest Margaux Parker as we discuss all things online etiquette, from the art of the perfect unfollow, airbrushing and what this projection of “perfection” is really saying to our kids.
