Today, we’re doing something a little different with Flashback Tuesday.
I recently moved back to San Diego after 4½ years as a digital nomad, and the transition has been anything but smooth. I’m dealing with jet lag and a virus, so instead of a new episode, I’m revisiting one of our most popular ones: 'What to Charge for Social Media Management in 2024.'
