Hey friends, this episode is all about why I love using my voice on social media and this podcast. I started because I enjoy connecting, but today I had to vent a bit about all the cold, impersonal DMs I get from people trying to sell without even knowing me. Some are so bad, they don’t even know what state I live in!
But I’m not just here to complain, I shared real tips on how to reach out the right way. Things like starting genuine conversations, offering value, or creating content that helps. Social media is powerful when we use it to truly connect. Let’s grow our businesses by being real, not spammy.

Why I started talking on social media and podcasting
My honest thoughts on cold DMs and why they annoy me
Real examples of bad DMs I’ve received

Why building real relationships on social media matters
Tips for sending better, more thoughtful DMs
