So we have Shari Foos on ep 335 of The Content Queen Podcast to talk about why vulnerability might be the most underrated skill in business and marketing, and why it's not about oversharing or crying on social media, it's about being real enough that people can actually relate to you. If you've ever felt exposed after putting yourself out there online, or you're struggling to figure out what "being authentic" even means for you, you gotta listen...
