Under The Bridge Episode 12: Growth and The Real Gold

Hello there! Thanks for looking and listening. For this episode, I’m in Queens (the borough with the best food in NYC) - sitting on the bank of the East River and talking about growth - all the work we do to build our social profiles and community, and whether or not it is worth all the effort. In a way, this is the complete opposite of one of those posts that are so pervasive on Substack which provide methodologies for growth - for once, I think it’s important to stop and look at what we’ve been doing on social media for all these years and get some perspective.

If you are a creative and you sometimes ask yourself what the point is, I think you’ll find some good thoughts to unpack here. Hope you enjoy it, thanks for listening and please comment if you have thoughts!

Jim
