How To Find Your Secret Sauce (Or Not)
02/16/24 • 22 min
Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m going to be talking about something that has stirred a lot of thinking in me: secret sauce. What I mean by this is the ‘thing’ that makes us successful online, and particularly on that app we can’t help but love-hate: Instagram.
- The ways in which Instagram has changed, and what it’s meant for ‘growth’
- The beauty in the absence of strategy
- Embracing creation, and showing up, and infectious joy

- Not underestimating the limiting power of the ‘box’ you’ve put yourself in
- Mourning your old vision
- Being organised and deliberate - without rushing it
- Detaching from the outcome
- How to break a redirection down as a project
