  • Best Social Media Management Podcast

    I’ve been in social media/communications for over a decade. Started listening after starting my own business this year. I learn from every episode of this show. I appreciate the approach and the commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, and the strategies discussed aligned with mine.

    I’ve tried many other social media podcasts, and without a doubt, this one is the best.

  • Wherever you are in your SMM journey…Listen to Shantè

    Hey Shantè! I just wanted to let you know that your podcast has been amazing to listen to! I’m probably responsible for half of your downloads because I like to binge your episodes when I go for walks or on long car rides!

    I really resonated with your last episode about losing clients and feeling low. I’ve been feeling that way since December but am hoping to pull through!

    Keep being fabulous 🥰
