Rachel Moore has a whole lot going on, but above all else she is REALLY social!
A professional social media manager by day, Rachel is a social media personality on her own after hours. Her Really Social website is an insanely useful social media resource. Her UnpauseIt show is - true story - "a podcast by a family of geeks". Rachel has taken her family's love of comic book movies, cosplay, video games and all things geeky and turned it into something really interesting and fun that you'll want to check out.
Rachel has a knack for moving effortlessly between more formal content creation and an informal look into her real life. Her fearless willingness to just be herself on camera gives her a friendly edge that draws you into what she has to say. She's careful to be purposeful in what she shows and shares while remaining accessible, approachable and real. This has made Rachel a bit of an accidental influencer. A title she's happy to have.
Rachel and I talk about the role of her family in shaping and even tempering her social presence. In an odd twist, her kids often reign her in and make her think about the real need to record and publish in a given situation. Find another situation where teenagers tell their mom to get off Twitter!
You'll hear Rachel discuss being unafraid to make mistakes online, using mistakes as a learning experience, and having the self-assurance to remain unaffected by occasional critics or detractors.
What I found most impressive about Rachel is her willingness to discuss any topic without regard for potential impact on metrics and audience size. She's happy to discuss current events, politics and even issues of faith. Her success in this area comes from her willingness to DISCUSS and LISTEN rather than firing up her social channels to tell or convince. We need more of what Rachel brings to the table if we're going to repair some of the division we see today.
This is 25 minutes well worth your time. Rachel is amazing, and I hope to have her on again sometimes very soon.
