May 19, 2024 Episode 20 - Ethical & Positive Social Media With Dominic O’Meara
This is a special one as it’s the first of many guest episodes in which I’ll be speaking with all sorts of interesting people who have struggled to accomplish or achieve something meaningful. Basically anyone who has struggled and overcome the hardships and suffering of life, I want to speak to. So for the first guest episode, I spoke with Dominic O’Mara who has started an ethical social media company called Supernova which donates from their advertising income to charities chosen by its users. You can expect to learn about how Dominic’s career in advertising won him a BAFTA, how it led him to attempting to disrupt an incredibly monopolised industry, the issues with how we consume social media at the moment and how we can use social media in a better, more ethical way.
