"I think the idea that things should be easy all the time, I feel like somehow social media really seems to perpetuate very quickly the American dream of the get rich quick dream," she said. "It's also wrapped up in that thing that Kate pointed out of like, you can no longer just post a TikTok and pretend you don't care if it goes viral."
Today, on The Twelfth House, we’re talking to Amelia Hruby, PhD, feminist author, educator, podcaster, and the founder of Softer Sounds, a podcast studio for entrepreneurs and creatives.
Over the past decade, Amelia has been a university professor, a community organizer, and a radio DJ. Now, she helps babes get their voices off social media & onto the airwaves with her podcast Off the Grid: Leaving Social Media without Losing All Your Clients.
If you’ve been with us for a while you’ve definitely heard Amelia's genius editing skills via this podcast, but today we’re lucky to be sitting down with her to chat about her journey of growing her business to six figures in a year, while going totally dark on social media.
We’re musing on:
- Amelia’s journey of becoming an influencer, getting a book deal, and raising money to market her book
- What sparked her disillusionment with Instagram and created a catalyst for going completely “dark” on social
- How she manages friendships and business partnerships without Mr. Zuck
- How she markets her services without relying on social media algorithms
- What skills and values entrepreneurs should focus on vs. the skill development that social media demands of us
