Warning: If you have an Instagram account and use it for your creative business, you need to listen to this episode, and save yourself the heartache and endless hours of trying to get it back. What happens when you lose 10+ years of community, connection and creative work in an instant? About two weeks ago I was locked out of my Instagram account of 90k followers.
