Social media has become a huge part of our everyday lives. It’s a source of entertainment, a way to catch up on the news, and a tool to connect with others.
While there have been great things about it, social media's dark side is hard to ignore. Founder and Managing Partner of 18 Coffees, Caleb Gardner, has seen it all during his long career in social media. He’s seen social media help to create real change in the world but also witnessed the “darkest corners of the internet.”
What does that mean for social media today? Can it still be a force for good? And how can we as social professionals ensure we’re bringing positivity to the discussion?
Caleb explains his thoughts on social media's role in our lives and questions the responsibility social platforms have over their content. He talks about the importance of being curious, trying out new things, and treating people with respect.
