In this month's business owner recap episode, Zac and Micah discuss their key takeaways from the episodes of the #IHateSocialMedia Podcast so far. They re-emphasize the previous guests' focus on the importance of authenticity on social media and commiserate on the difficulties of delving into social media as people to whom constant self-marketing does not come naturally. Sometimes you just have to "embrace the cringe" in order to be authentic online, and since "to cringe and be cringe is human," you're bound to find other people who resonate with your brand of cringe online.

This week we're back with part 2 of this amazing conversation with Scot! Micah and Scot talk about how to step away from formulas when creating content and authentically engage with your followers and truly "find your tribe" on social media. In business terms, they discuss the necessity of reaching people outside your sales funnel instead of focusing solely on people who are immediately ready to buy. In Scot's own words, "People buy from people, people don't want to buy from companies," so get out there and post like a person.
