042: How I Run My Business Without Social Media (Pivot Replay)

If social media drains you, yet continues to dangle itself as a shiny should, this episode is for you. It's a crossover replay from one of the episodes that listeners share most often from the Pivot podcast, so I'm replaying it here for you. I share my own process—mindset shifts and business focuses—that allow me to keep moving, even without platform-building or posting on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Tik Tok. From a business perspective, social media is a means to two primary ends: social connections and media (consuming and contributing). I cover how I work toward both in energizing ways, even without directing my attention toward the platforms above. 📘 Books Mentioned: Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business, When the Body Says No (Gabor Maté) 🎙 Related Episodes: 040: It's Not Free Time If You're Exhausted, Pivot Episodes — 227: Super Extrovert Pivot Strategies with Photographer Phillip Van Nostrand, 196: Agile Public Original Thinking, 183: Cultivating Opposites and Checklists with Alexandra Franzen, 76: On Plan Z, Creative Finish Lines and the Graceful No—with Alexandra Franzen ❤️ Enjoying the show?
