037: Keeping it Real with Deanna Fenton

Power of the Pivot Podcast

Are you currently experiencing information overload?
I know I am.
With Instagram feeling more and more like a bunch of late-night infomercials and with the newly launched platform, Thread, are you struggling to keep up?
It's becoming harder and harder to discern who to trust and what information to take at face value.
That's exactly what Deanna Fenton ( a seasoned entrepreneur with a passion for problem-solving) and I discuss in this week's episode of The Power Of The Pivot Podcast.
Deanna started her career in Silicon Valley, gaining valuable experience working for online startups. She has seen so much change (and not all for the better) over 20+ years in this industry. Between Covid and social media, the space has become saturated with individuals claiming to be experts in solving problems without the necessary qualifications.
This is a real bummer for people like you who do have a lot to say and valid value to share.
So the question then becomes, how do you navigate the challenges of building an authentic online presence to be seen, heard, and trusted?
By empowering people and helping them grow their businesses, particularly, through community, and being a trusted resource who will suggest a more efficient and practical way to go from point A to point B.
