Episode 16: Summer is Coming!

Hey everyone,

Today we are actually going on a walk! We haven't done this since our 2nd episode, but today was a nice day out and we figured it was time to take it back to the roots. So we walked to the store and talk about what we are looking forward to in the summer, how growing up feels, the change in social media due to TikTok & Covid, and our thoughts on Linkedin as a "professional" social media platform.

Summer officially starts on June 20th, which is next Sunday! We are excited but also dreading the extreme heat that we have to deal with here in California. Maybe we will hit up the beach sometime. We also reflected on how we used to look forward to summer in our youth, and how that is changed now that we are adults.

Then we really wanted to know if short-form content (less than 1 minute) is here to stay. The beginning of Covid marked the era of TikTok. It was already on an upward trajectory, but the lockdown accelerated its growth. Now more than ever, people were stuck at home consuming massive amounts of content, the easiest being TikToks. This also lowered the barrier to entry, which means there were more creators and consumers to enjoy the content. IS this just a moment or are micro contents here to stay?

Lastly, Linkedin has completely changed our professional lives. It is a powerful networking platform, and it also allows you to showcase your skills and services. It is like a free landing page that allows you to be found, connect with others, and establish authority.

You can see us walking the streets of Porter Ranch in Sunny California, we hope you enjoy & We will see you in the next one :)
