Social Media Escape Club

find an offline way to engage with your community through events, conferences, local meetups, and other non-social media engagements because--despite how connected we are--word of mouth/personal referral is still the best way to get clients in any service industry.

Almost everything that is meaningful, beautiful, life-affirming, empowering, transformational, true—it can’t be reached by shortcuts. But what we can do is make the longcuts walkable, put out footbridges and stairs, and a table where the ocean comes into view.

many of us are addicted and don’t even come to the internet for joy, knowledge or connection anymore— we just do it because we are 100% wired into the machine and can’t break the cycle.

You don’t need to be showing up everywhere. Nor do you need to be showing up all the time.
