This chapter explores the evolution of relationships formed through digital communication, particularly on social media platforms. The speakers reflect on the nostalgia of sharing phone numbers and the significance of area codes, while also discussing the effectiveness of current networking sites like LinkedIn. They engage in a light-hearted comparison of different platforms, emphasizing the value of authentic connections in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
Emily Freeman joins the show alongside our Ship It co-host, Justin Garrison! We hear Emily’s burnout story & learn how she and Forrest Brazeal are putting tech-focused influencers on tap. But first: area code turf wars, bad movie reboots & buying used DVDs… at Starbucks?!
