So, you've gained a following on social media… now what? The answer isn't always clear and direct. What we have come to realize is that Instagram and TikTok are no longer (or perhaps, never were) places where you had to appear perfect to gain a following or appeal to a large audience.
It's easier than ever to create content and connect to people through social media, but not many people aren't talking about how to handle the immense growth and exposure that comes with being an influencer.
Sam Gwaz is a health coach and fitness influencer who, since growing her Instagram platform by 200,000+ new followers in the last 3 years, has had to grow along with her social media presence in many ways.
In this discussion, Sam and Chase talk about her growth and evolution as a health and fitness content creator on social media. They speak on the power of vulnerability in building confidence, Sam's current struggle as a content creator, and how to reevaluate your social media presence to ensure you're creating authentic content that's aligned with your audience. Then, Sam shares her hopes for the future of social media along with a few pieces of advice for aspiring content creators.

In our culture, aging is a fear of many. We're so avoidant of the inevitable, but if we actually embrace the inevitable aging process, we might actually age more resiliently. Research shows that ageism and negative beliefs about age can have a real impact on our health and longevity. This begs the question… Can shifting our beliefs around aging improve our health and increase our lifespan?
Here to answer that question is Dr. Becca Levy, a researcher and faculty member at Yale School of Public Health and the author of Breaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long and Well You Live.
In this discussion, Becca and Chase break down the psychology around aging, the harmful effects ageism has on our society, and practical ways you can begin to fully accept your age and the aging process. You'll learn how to reduce ageism and age resiliently by reversing the negative beliefs and messages about age you encounter in your everyday life.
