Building Real Community Online (without the Hustle or Hype) with Kristina Bartold
Let’s be honest — a lot of what we’re told about social media growth feels exhausting, surface-level, or straight-up disconnected. That’s why this episode with Kristina Bartold, CEO of The Social Snippet, is such a breath of fresh air.
Kristina shares how she’s built a thriving business (and community) by focusing on connection over conversion — and how you can do the same without faking it or being glued to your phone.
🎧 In this episode, we talk about:
✸ Why engagement > followers (especially for service-based founders)
✸ How to show up in your stories without oversharing or overthinking
✸ Actionable ways to build community online — even in 15 minutes a day
✸ The mindset shift that helps you get out of your head and into real conversations
✸ Why your “underperforming” content might be doing more than you think
This one is warm, practical, and packed with ideas you can use today — especially if you want social media to feel more human, and a lot less overwhelming.
