Ever wondered how the landscape of social media marketing has transformed from the MySpace era to today? Join us as Katie Brinkley and I reminisce about the early days of MySpace, a time when digital marketing was all about genuine human interaction and creativity. Katie shares incredible stories from her time at a college radio station, using MySpace to connect with bands and score free music, showcasing the platform's unique ability to build communities. We reflect on the nostalgic simplicity of those early days and our initial forays into social media and SEO, painting a picture of a simpler, more authentic digital world.

But that's not all—we delve into the game-changing impact of AI tools like Descript and Riverside on podcast production. Learn how these tools can transform your workflow, allowing you to handle more clients and create high-quality content with ease. Katie introduces her AICA framework—Awareness, Elaboration, Community, and Action—to help you create engaging and effective social media content. We also emphasize the power of video in podcasting and discuss how turning on the camera can unlock new growth opportunities. Get inspired by the themes in Katie's book, "The Social Shift," and discover why a return to community-focused social media is more important than ever in an era dominated by AI-generated content.
