Sign up for The Interval for free inspiration in your inbox. https://subscribe.scottmclemore.comI used to think that quitting social media would destroy my career as a musician and podcaster—but the opposite happened. I didn’t vanish; I started feeling more visible to the people who actually care about my work. In this episode of Keep the Flow, I talk about how you can build a fulfilling and sustainable creative life without chasing followers or feeding the algorithm. I share why I stepped away from traditional social platforms, how I replaced them with more meaningful tools like newsletters, websites, and direct community engagement, and why real connection—online or off—is worth more than a thousand likes. This isn’t about convincing anyone to quit, but if you’re curious… maybe you can.___________https://hostinger.com?REFERRALCODE=KEEPTHEFLOWMood Machine by Liz Pelly: https://amzn.to/3GqA5PP___________To follow me on Patreon for free: https://patreon.com/scottmclemoreListen to my music: https://scottmclemore.bandcamp.comCheck out my new website: https://scottmclemore.com Hosted on Acast.
