What does authenticity mean to you? Are you guilty of using a “finsta” or hiding your emotions behind a screen? The battle between real and fake is not a new one, but for our generation, it’s been amplified due to social media. Most people’s profiles are a carefully curated highlight reel of our best moments, and some use social media to embody their ideal persona. Do either of these make us inauthentic, or are we just putting our best foot forward? For today’s conversation, we sat down with Larry Milstein and Rich Keller to discuss what it means to be authentic and how to be the best version of yourself possible. Read more about our guests below and their amazing work!
