Street Says - tell a better story and you will connect with your audiences more than ever! 

Hi all! Today’s episode is a bit more abstract than usual, and based around this idea of competition (in this case, the game of S̶i̶m̶o̶n̶ Street Says), and how it relates to showing up as your business/brand and the interaction that you are creating with your audiences. 

Are you creating a competitive environment and tricking your audience? 

If so, the reality is that you are not going to make a lasting impact, because well, there is no authenticity and genuineness. My goal with this episode is to share the message of “start with story, NOT trickery”so that you can achieve community in a world of competition!

Yup, we’re delving more into all of that, so be sure to tune in to the full episode!

On today’s episode of the ‘no Boring Stories’ podcast, we are joined by the perfect pairing of Kristina Bartold-Sorgota and Maria Tassi, Co-Founders of 'The Social Snippet'! 

Through their social media consultancy, Kristina and Maria are actively changing the narrative of social media from being about hardcore sales and likes & follows, to a means of building a trustworthy and positive online community. 

However, the duo share their resistance towards solely labeling themselves as a SM consultancy, and make it clear that they don’t just do ‘social’, but work towards marketing people’s dreams; their focus is on idea to impact! 

In our conversation, we delve into both Kristina and Maria’s separate journeys and how they met each other in the middle at the right time, and then the development of their passionate business partnership. 

There is a brilliant chat based around shame and how this feeling can affect how we show up and present ourselves online. We also dig into the impact of sharing ‘the personal’ on your business socials with your audience, and the value in embracing vulnerability. And of course, much, much more!

It is an episode that I am certain will have you saying, “you’re kidding, you too?” And that is all thanks to Kristina and Maria for being so open with their thoughts and experiences!
