  • Useful information for new creators

    As someone new to using Instagram to build an audience (as opposed to my priors years using it as something to share with friends/family), I’ve been searching for podcasts which provide useful information on how best to build and engage an audience. Instagram Stories appears to have hit that sweet spot for me. Useful but accessible information through interviews with an eclectic mix of Instagram pros, enough detail whilst being short enough episodes to engage with. I’ve tried a few similar podca... more

  • Best part of my morning news cycle!

    Daniel, I found your podcast by chance, when I selected different news channels to play when I tell my Google home to play the news each morning. And it’s been my favorite episode during my morning routine listen. Thanks for the entertaining information. I’m just a casual social media user, but love learning, and this scratches that itch. Keep killing it!

  • Must listen for social media managers!

    I happened upon Daniel’s podcast on Google podcasts a few years ago and have been faithfully listening ever since, more so since my marketing agency started getting into social content & management. Daniel shares great insights on Instagram and occasionally other socials as well. He is humble and fun to listen to. I really enjoy it and appreciate the insider intelligence that plays faithfully on my daily briefings while I get ready for work. Thank you Daniel for everything you do for the communi... more
