Listen to this full episode to learn the perspective and context it takes to maximize your social media consumption.

0:32 Why becoming a better consumer of social media matters

1:14 The weird times we live in, inspired by Bret Contreras on a different podcast: the ones who are actually experts/good at what they do are rarely the ones who look the best on social media

2:16 Creating context. What's your context and what's their context?

4:12 First big red flag...WHO DO YOU TRAIN???

6:25 Next red flags: have you heard their voice, TOO many followers..., bold claims/clickbait, too narrow of content/lack of big picture

10:23 Green flag: what would you expect good social media of someone in your similar situation/situation you aspire to be look like?

11:18 Green flags: training similar population, give good logic and reason (even if don't have a similar population), not too buzz-wordy/easy to consume

15:21 Take home points: What's your truth vs their truth, tying everything back to the big picture, it's OK to be critical, how to implement things you consume
