As authentic as we are on social media, that are some things we can’t share openly due to the privacy of others. In this episode, we cracked the code on many things: why we struggle with working together when we are physically together versus how well we work together remotely, how we work content into our daily lives when we can’t share specifics parts of our personal lives, how to get Juli focused on growth on social media and we reviewed our goals and aspirations for 2024. And check out why Steven got a big shout out on this episode!!!

We don’t throw the word “manifesting" around lightly because when the Polise women set their mind on something, they go all in!

The shift we've seen in social media over the past couple of years is the reason we're using the term "social media currency". More and more people are focused on growing a social media following or community. It's no longer about posting for friends and family, or being a traditional influencer to sponsor product. It's now a way to establish credibility in your field, or reach an audience who needs you! In this episode, Juli shares some really great insights about the difference between TikTok and Instagram which you'll want to hear!
