Prefer to listen to audio only? Here you go:
Here are some of the questions I ask Susie in the interview:
- In Chapter 9 of Influence, we share a quote from you that starts with these words: “I felt seriously gross about platform building until I changed how I looked at it.” Could you start off by telling us how you used to view platform building, and what felt gross about that?
- What caused your perspective about platform building to shift?
- How do you view platform building now?
- What encouragement or advice could you offer to someone who still feels gross about platform building?
- What “unexpected benefits” have you experienced from serving people online?
- What are some practical ways that you seek to serve other people through social media?
What about you? How do you currently view platform building? How has this conversation shaped or affirmed your view of online interaction?
