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.

Key Topics Covered:

  • 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

  • How fake messages damage trust and waste time

  • Why building real relationships on social media matters

  • Tips for sending better, more thoughtful DMs

  • How to create content that invites real conversation

  • The importance of live trainings or workshops to build trust

  • How to give genuine compliments without hidden agendas

  • Ideas for lead magnets and podcast episodes that actually help people
