Episode 228: Anyone else struggling to keep up with the kids these days? Well, the good news is that you’re not alone. This week, join Natalie and her friend Jade Beason, the founder of Creator Projects and a social media guru, for a fun and unfiltered convo. They're reflecting on their early social media experiences, including the iconic era of MySpace, the differences in today’s youth, and the evolution of the social media industry as a whole. Jade shares her tips and tricks for aspiring creators, diving into platform dynamics, content strategies, AI's role, and the challenges of staying relevant. In this witty discussion of age, technology, and digital culture, Nat and Jade navigate the complexities of feeling out of touch with the younger generation, posing the ever-relatable question, "Are we old?". Tune in to laugh, relate, and reinvigorate your inner content creator spirit!
