Screw It Just DO It with Alex Chisnall

Welcome to Saturday's Solo Episode #315. In this week, it's another Clubhouse episode and I want to talk about Connection + Collaboration = Community. It's been a few weeks in Clubhouse and the engagement is very exciting. I haven't seen growth like ever before in other social media. The platform is genuinely authentic and you can't fake it because it's your own voice and your own thoughts live in conversations rather than a carefully curated version of yourself. It's a safe place where kindness overflows fostering a more caring social media community. If you're not in there, you have to be there.
