Tune in to this episode to remind yourself that you don’t have to be tied to social media 24/7 in order to grow your business, brand, or mission!

I'm joined by Chelsea Riffe, host of In My Non-Expert Opinion, a top 1% podcast known for transparency around business, creativity, and travel.

I attend her recent event, Pitch-A-Palooza, where I was blown away by the community, connection, and collaboration happening in the chat.

Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform while you cook, clean, or create. Full show notes & transcript here.

What’s in This Episode:

Chelsea explains how she doesn’t feel the creative activation happens until it comes out of her, whether that is verbally, through writing, drawing, creating pottery, or movement.

Chelsea defines creativity as an unbound sense of self-expression. Her current relationship to creativity thrives on expanding her community by interacting with what she calls other people’s “orbits”.

She compares the frustration of speaking into the void of social media algorithms where the conversation isn’t a two way street to the richness of a podcast interview, Substack feature, or guest teaching.

By tuning in you’ll learn how Chelsea overcomes creative blocks, how you can use pitching as a tool to boost your confidence, and how to think of IG more as a digital billboard (rather than a daily to-do).
