November 05, 2019 251 - 6 Tips That Helped Me Gain 20,000 New Instagram Followers in a Year
About a year ago I had this realization: if I had more Instagram followers, everything else I was trying to do would be easier.
It was the domino that I had to knock over, to knock over all the others.
AND YET I wasn't pumped about it. WHY? Probably the same reasons social media frustrates you: it seems like a random lottery and nothing I ever do seems to have much of an impact.
BUT I was determined to reach my goal!!!
SO this past year I've been approaching instagram with disciplined intensity, all the while learning as much as I could about what works on this platform.
The results were super powerful and in this episode I want to share everything that had an impact on my growth!
FYI even if Instagram isn't the platform you want to succeed on, this episode will help you on whichever arena you choose to do social media battle on!

In this episode I want to share two quick tactics that have helped me find more time and money and one bigger idea on the subject that's currently blowing my mind!

Today on the show we have the President of Television at the Jim Henson Company, Halle Stanford!!!
For anyone who has listened to half an episode of this podcast knows how huge this is for us! WE ARE THE BIGGEST HENSON FANS!
Halle is the executive producer on the new Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, and if you haven't seen it, go binge this thing right now! It's a creative masterpiece and a scale of puppetry the world has never seen before!
It was an absolute delight to sit down with Halle and pick her brain on all the creative insights she has gained over her years at Henson as a ten time Emmy nominated producer.
This episode has a deeply special place in my heart and I am so lucky to get to know Halle! Halle has a soul full of hope and healing and is SUCH a perfect guest for our show! You are going to love her.
