In this episode Maggie is joined by Alondra Uhi ( @alondra.uhi.art / @byherfruits.art ) to talk about the risks of using social media as a metric for success in the arts. Alondra discusses her own personal metrics for success that she uses in lieu of social media; the importance of contributing to your creative community; "trends" and "cringe" in content creation as an artist; and the pressure I think we have all experienced at some point or another to create faster than we're comfortable in order to appease the algorithm. In this episode Alondra also considers what it means to show up as your best authentic self online. Listen today to hear her thoughts on these topics and more!
