. Here are some of her

_Great Ideas_

on doing better with your social media and the perks of an instant feedback loop.

**You are you, and that becomes a brand.**

Humans connect with humans, not logos. Studies show loyalty, connection, and ability to convert

_skyrockets_

when the customer knows whos behind the brand. Its important for authority figures to show up.

**Dont think of social media as just marketing**

. Social media is an immediate feedback loop. Its a free way to hear from your customers, and immediately. You are the media, the opportunities are endless.

**Decide which content bucket youre filling**

. You really need to stop and map out what value your customer is getting from you. Is it exclusive information or content, education, inspiration, reciprocation, or entertainment?

**If youre outsourcing your social media**

, its important to be extremely clear what you want to happen. Is it to increase your following? Is it to increase conversion? Is it to research for new product launches?

**Characteristics of the perfect social media post.**

It answers the customers

_Whats in it for Me?_

\(WIFM\) question, offers value, makes sure the business is being unapologetically true to itself and its core offering, doesnt post in a way thats not aligned just to get more engagement or likes, and its experimenting.

GREAT EIGHT:

1. **Recommended book** : Essentialism by Greg McKeown
  2.  **If you could co-author a book with anyone, who would you choose, and what would the title be?** Simon Sinek and, maybe, _Why Not Me?_
  3.  **Favourite piece of advice?** Where purpose, passion and skill collide, impact resides.
  4.  **Daily ritual?** I do transcendental meditation every morning. Its non-negotiable.
  5.  **Low moment in life and how did you recover?** My purpose problem was one of the darkest moments in my life. I was a first time entrepreneur, with a large company doing very well. It looked great from the outside but it wasnt in alignment with who I was on the inside. Simon Sinek helped me find my why \(helping others in difficulty and having others help me\).
  6.  **Something about you we dont know?** I live in a forest and sometimes I see more animals in a day than people. I travel often so its a balance.
  7.  **Whats the secret to success?** Significance
  8.  **Whats a prediction for 2025?** Simplification of technology and a lot of consolidation.
