Today's episode features a return appearance from a listener favorite Ian Jones (@iansjones) At this point we consider Ian a friend of the show. We chat and speculate about many topics today including but not limited to:

• Instagram's new Verification rollout and how that will change the space
• A potential Tik Tok ban
• The pros & cons of diverse and niche portfolios
• Having doubts or being self-critical before vs after sharing a post
• Setting goals that have a 50/50 chance of happening even if you do everything right

If you're tuning in on Spotify, there is an exciting feature that allows you to actively engage with us.
