Value of Authenticity Extends Online and Offline

Authenticity has become something that is harder to derive from this digital space as we build more distance and roadblocks between ourselves and the people we are actually trying to reach. The best compliment I get when I get off stage from speaking is, “You are the same person online as you are offline”. To me, that is the epitome of authenticity. It’s the idea that you are able to convey and be the person online that you are offline and you don’t separate the two.

To find yourself, think for yourself. — Socrates

On this episode I expand my thoughts to cover these questions and more:

  • You make engaging with a large audience look easy, what’s your secret sauce?
  • How can partnering with influencers impact a brand’s authenticity and engagement when they are often behind a logo?
  • Where do you draw the line between being authentic and mentioning brands?
  • Are there connections between authenticity, engagement, and influence?
