Show notes

In my conversation with Daniel Vassallo this week, I learned that Daniel uses social media —Twitter in particular— to find inspiration for his own work as a teacher and content creator. Intentionally doomscrolling Twitter to come up with writing prompts and business ideas? Why not!

If we consider this a strategic effort, not just wasting our time on social media, let's develop a few frameworks that lead to more tangible results.

Today, I want to talk about finding ideas, problems, and points of tension that hint at practical business opportunities on social media.
