Going Part-Time on Social Media and Building a 200-Year Vision with Chelsea Riffe

What does it actually mean to build a creative life on your own terms?In this episode of Dear Creator, I sit down with Chelsea Riffe, the host of the Notes from the New World, previously known as In My Non-Expert Opinion, a Top 1% show known for asking the bigger questions around the cultural zeitgeist, our inner worlds, and what's this all FOR?She's a Cultural Philosopher, obsessed with understanding how we think, and how seemingly unrelated things relate HARD (her favorite threads to pull are how reality TV is the ultimate mirror for our psyches—don't get her started).We had one of the most honest conversations we've had on this show. We talk about how living abroad reshaped her entire relationship with work and rest, why she's experimenting with going part-time on social media (while actively running a business), and the Dark Forest Philosophy that might predict where online community is headed next.We also get into the real strategy behind what drives her sales, how a three-year-old brand relationship landed her name on a magazine cover, and what it means to develop a personal philosophy so strong that it transcends any platform, niche, or algorithm.If you've ever felt burnt out by social media, unsure of your creative direction, or like you're constantly doing more without feeling like it's enough — this episode is for you!Topics:Why Chelsea is going part-time on social mediaThe Dark Forest Philosophy and the future of micro-communitiesHow long-term brand partnerships can change your careerWhat a "cultural philosopher" actually doesThe 200-year vision framework and how to start developing your own philosophyConnect with ChelseaWebsite: https://www.chelseariffe.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chelseariffe/?hl=enThreads: https://www.threads.com/@chelseariffe?xmt=AQF0QQfdAild1A6OunsXJtII4_ywYc25fr_qYkqUDW-TFyoPodcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/46sFOpt34jKVVmbWZVM2FH?si=1ffe6c4fff81409cPodcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-my-non-expert-opinion/id1309417352
