Description

In this episode, we dive deep into the evolution of social media — from the days of MSN, MySpace and BBM to today’s TikTok and Instagram world. We share our personal experiences growing up before the constant scroll, and explore how social media has completely reshaped friendships, business, and mental health.




We ask tough questions:




  • Has social media improved our lives, or just made us more distracted?




  • Are we building genuine connections or just chasing likes?




  • How do businesses balance the opportunity with the pressure to always be online?




  • And most importantly — how do you take back control of your attention?




Whether you’re nostalgic about the old days of MSN, or trying to figure out how to manage TikTok marketing without burning out, this conversation will hit home.




  • The rise of social media from MySpace to TikTok




  • Growing up before vs after smartphones




  • Why validation online feels addictive (and dangerous)




  • Business opportunities: visibility, reach, and the competition it creates




  • Social media and relationships — friends, dating, and family life




  • Privacy, surveillance, and the pressure of always being “on”




  • Why living in the moment matters more than chasing likes
