More Than Hashtags

When we saw local Greater Phoenix small business RunBuddy Mobile on TikTok and Instagram, we knew we had to talk with them. Founder David Lopez joins us to lay out the RunBuddy story, along with how the company has been able to gain tons of traction (and even customers) through video on social media channels: 20,000+ videos over the last few years, including multiple on TikTok that are garnering millions of views.

The show had more downloads and listens while we were gone for all of 2019, so we debated a return since apparently we weren't necessary as hosts? But in the end we decided to come back because SOMEONE has to talk about TikTok. Oh, and we switched up the intro music a little.

We also discuss:

• Why Vincent has changed his mind about Facebook Stories
• our favorite new podcasts from 2019
• FlavCity, Jack Black and Hot Ones on YouTube
• our buddy Barry's multiple (and successful) Instagram accounts

We're back....again! We're not here to discuss coronavirus or Covid-19 or quarantine. We're here to talk social media This is a long one so feel free to hang out with us the whole time or fast forward to the best parts, like when we go in on the best viral story of 2020: Nathan Apodaca and his influence on TikTok, the music charts, Boomers, and social media as a whole.

We also discuss:

• Instagram growth (not growth hacking though)
• Disinformation and a little on how to deal with it (the next special Election 2020-focused episode will be a deeper dive)
• the inimitable frozen beef sheet brand that is Steak-umm

On Episode 17, we talk about How Fake is Facebook? Hurricane Snap Maps & The Buzz about LinkedIn. We also debut our 'Don't @ Me' segment that gives an example about what a brand should not do when a hurricane is barreling down and an example of what a brand did right.
