Helen and Juli Polise — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 23:00:00 -0500

The shift we've seen in social media over the past couple of years is the reason we're using the term "social media currency". More and more people are focused on growing a social media following or community.

It's no longer about posting for friends and family, or being a traditional influencer to sponsor product. It's now a way to establish credibility in your field, or reach an audience who needs you!

In this episode, Juli shares some really great insights about the difference between TikTok and Instagram which you'll want to hear!

Tune in for the real talk and some serious generational differences between mother and daughter on this topic!

#1 - How Social Media Changed Our Lives

Helen and Juli Polise — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 19:23:56 -0500

Quite simply, we would not be where we are today without social media. Helen and Juli talk through their social media journeys. For Helen, how her expertise as a professional TV commercial and director led her to educate millions on the app, but before she found her niche as the TikTok Teacher, there was a lot of content experimentation. And Juli, how her strategic mindset used social media as a way to land full-time roles. We go back to the beginning (really just 2020) to explore how social media changed our lives.
