Post-Social: Growing Your Business Beyond the Algorithms

Post-Social is a gathering for entrepreneurs building businesses without relying on social media. In a culture that prizes constant posting and algorithmic visibility, this panel explores what happens when you step away—and what you might gain. Moderated by Martha Williams (BreakBread World), with panelists Harry Doull (Keap Candles), Holly Howard (Ask Holly How & Pyramid.work), and Lee Tilghman (author, If You Don’t Like This I Will Die), the evening was a conversation featuring three business owners who’ve either left social platforms or deprioritized them in favor of slower, more intentional growth. Panelists shared real tools and strategies: newsletters, SEO, press, partnerships, in-person events, and word-of-mouth.
