26. How To Use Social Media Challenges To Level Up

In this episode Neel and David discuss their recent deeper dives into social media and why it's been a challenge for them.

David has really been very active on Instagram and Neel has spent more time on Twitter.  Both of them have been less willing to be involved in social media in the past simply because they weren't entirely comfortable on various platforms.  But both of them have come to separately realize that there are opportunities to engage with people in a real way that doesn't need to focus on follower count or number of likes.

They also discuss:

• Why people aren't just interested in what Gary Vee or Tim Ferriss has to say
• What a freedom it is to be your authentic self on social media instead of a "safe corporate" version
• How much people appreciate being exposed to the daily grind in a way other than "everything is amazing always" mode 
• Hacks they have developed to make sure they don't get sucked into social media and become consumers instead of contributors
