In this episode, I sat down with digital native Ashley Outrageous to talk about mental health during the era of Instagram. Ashley is a creative consultant, artist manager, and event producer who has been working at the intersection of music and technology since before MySpace was a thing. Her first big digital project was running social media for Kendrick Lamar's Section80 album which was the tipping point for the elevation of her career as a boss. We get to cover some fun stuff in this convo – music marketing during the internet's emergence, working horizontally, and incorporating your friends into your projects, how a simple thank you note can get you new clients, and of course, addressing social anxieties catalyzed by our digital lives.
