What if everything you’ve been told about social media is wrong?
In this episode, I sit down with Katie Brinkley — a social media strategist, author of The Social Shift, and agency founder who scaled her business with a lean content model, smart systems, and a self-led team.
Katie built her agency without becoming a slave to the algorithm. She reveals the Four-Post Strategy that replaces content burnout with a sustainable, consistent visibility system — and she unpacks the leadership shifts that freed her to step out of the day-to-day.
If you’ve been stuck in execution mode, feeling like growth means more hustle, this episode will challenge your assumptions and offer a new way forward.
💡 What You'll Learn:
- Why more content ≠ more growth
- How Katie built a self-led team using one question: “What do you think?”
- How to scale visibility through conversation, not just content
- What it means to truly delegate authority — and why most leaders don’t
- How your social media goal determines your entire strategy
- The anti-hustle strategy that brought her best sales month — during burnout
