Join us as we discuss staying true to your creative roots while figuring out how or better if it's worth it to "play the game" on algorithmically driven platforms. We're also taking a hard look at our own podcast, asking if what we're making lines up with what we believe in. We're sharing stories that show the difference between how things look from the outside vs what's really happening, and thinking over the stuff that goes into making content that resonates with people.  This episode is an open invite to join the conversation about finding the right balance between what you believe, what people expect, and the real influence of your audience.  -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.
