Socially Unfiltered

What a week - National Entrepreneur Day and Thanksgiving?! We have a lot to talk about. First things first, let’s talk about what it takes to be an entrepreneur - because you gotta be built different. Self discipline, ability to prioritize tasks, we could go on but you’ll hear it in the episode. And in the spirit of Thanksgiving - we just want to let you know how thankful we are for you, for liste...

We can all agree….. We probably shouldn’t have been watching SpongeBob as kids, right? And why was the creator of iCarly so obsessed with feet? Why did nobody question Dan Schneider being such a f*cking weirdo? AND WHERE IS ARIANA TO TELL HER STORY?! Today we’re diving into the dark side of Nickelodeon, and we’re only scratching the surface. Let us know if you were a Disney or Nickelodeon kid - we...

“This is a safe place to talk about hard things” - Dr. Phil, but also, us. Today we’re talking about the untouched topic in our industry - money. How to price your services as a social media manager, how to have the uncomfortable conversation of package prices increasing for current clients, how tf do you plan for taxes as a freelancer, & what is the “industry average” pricing. Yup, all of it....

It's spooky szn! We're going over all things ghosts, cults, aliens, paranormal, hometown crime, & glitches in the matrix👀👻 Next week we're back to business though - talking about pricing your services, raising your prices with clients, and tips for not going crazy when it comes to having that convo🙃 See you back here next week! In the mean time↴ ⁠@sociallyunfilteredpod⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠@so...

Fulfilling our promise from Episode 4 & recapping Britney Spears’ Memoir “The Woman In Me”. Everything in us wants to believe this is truly her, telling her story, in her own words - but if there’s anything we’re good at, it’s not letting things go, so the skepticism is still there. If you haven’t read/listened to it yet - wait to listen to this episode! We also highly recommend watching the d...

This is us hard launching season 2✨ Unplanned and unfiltered as usual. We're kicking off this new era with another spicy look at social media management - telling you more of our hot takes, unpopular opinions, and pet peeves in this industry. Remember, we say all of this out of love, wanting the best for you, & hopefully helping you pick up on the red flags when it comes to Instagram &quo...

Well, we're playing truth or drink this week, but - there's nothing we won't answer so we don't drink that much. Either we need spicier questions or we need to learn how to stop oversharing. We'll be adding the spice next week though, with more social media manager hot takes & back to recording in real time🌶️👀 Also - we want to hear from you! Our spooky episode will be out...

Still coming to you live in person! This week we’re reading assumptions ya’ll have about us, playing a game of “who’s more likely to”, & of course…. getting off topic. We just want to take a minute to say how much we f*cking love all of you & thanks for always making us laugh. If everybody keeps being really nice, Veronika might let you borrow one of her Barbie DVD’s & Lex might take y...

Our first in person episode!! But full disclaimer, we had audio issues (how classic of us, right). Bear with us as we figure this all out ~together~. Anyway, today we’re talking about having traditional weddings vs anything but that, deciding whether or not we want kids, & the difference between growing up in America vs Europe. We have lots of unconventional opinions that could all change tomo...

Part 2 of chatting with Psychic Lauryn! This week you get to sit in on an actual reading with us, & afterwards we'll tell you all about how we felt & what resonated with us the most! We both cry, we have a shared spirit guide, & now we're on the lookout for who is going to try to take advantage of us👀 If you haven't already, listen to last week's episode where we get t...

YA'LL we're so excited about this episode - we're talking to a PSYCHIC! Lauryn is a psychic, a medium, an animal communicator, a medical intuitive, and an intuitive development coach, teaching you how to strengthen your psychic abilities! Yes, you. Because we're all a little psychic... who knew! What you're hearing this week is us getting to know Lauryn, asking her all the ques...

Be honest... would you fight to survive a zombie apocalypse? Cuz we're not really seeing the point. We debate the end of the world before going off topic for 45 minutes, oops. We just don't know how many times we have to say it: kids do not belong on the internet. But anyway, we ground ourselves at the end with a quick phone call to Tish Cyrus & rescheduling what this episode was origi...

Reporting liveeeee! We're catching up on all things pop culture because a lot has been going on. Did we finally figure out the mystery behind the crazy plane lady? It's okay Tiffany, we've all had a few too many at one point. Britney Spears is getting a divorce??? The update we were not expecting. Most importantly, we finally found someone more delusional than us, Taylor Swift's do...

This week we're joined (honored) by Bri of @sociallyybri so she can share all about her incredible talent of storytelling in her content. She's giving us the inside scoop on talking to a wall, eavesdropping on conversations for content ideas, & her (our) current obsession with Pretty Little Liars. She'll definitely be back for a part 2, but in the meantime let us know what you thin...

Is taking a vacation as a business owner actually taking a vacation?😅 We've both posted our client's posts from the beach, but can we talk about how it's kinda not enjoyable to "work from anywhere"? Like for real, have you ever tried to work on your laptop while sitting in sand? It sucks. But anyway, it's definitely possible, you just have to be crazy disciplined and imp...

We're giving our spicy takes on what social media managers are actually responsible for. Should you be promising your clients sales? We say, absolutely not. Has your client ever asked for a last minute post to go up? Ours have, but sorry, it's not in our contract🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you ever taken credit for an accomplishment your client had before you started working together? If you have, we&#39...

This week we were #blessed to be joined by Gabbie Foote, our unofficial third host who we've talked about in every episode! *cue Obsessed by Mariah Carey*. She tells us all about her experience owning a social media management business, hosting her own podcast, making music with her husband, all while raising a tiny human! We're also talking about how failure is your friend, taking untradi...

We’re catching you up on all things pop culture (aka recapping our FYP’s). From Britney’s new book, to Too Turnt Tony being the bachelor, to wtf this weird TikTok live trend is that Pinkydoll started. We also spend some time talking about the WAG/SAG Strike (file this under sh*t you should really care about) because not enough people are talking about it?? And apparently Twitter is paying people n...

First things first, thank you SO much to everyone who listened to the first five episodes of Socially Unfiltered, we could never thank you enough for supporting this (& us!)🥂 We're pumped to finally be recording in live time, which means we have A LOT to catch up on. We're recapping the 6th season of Black Mirror (spoilers included so skip through if you haven't watched yet!), tal...

From Pepsi, to Biore, to Wendy's, to Cartoon Network - these brands (& a ton more) have shown us both the good and the bad when it comes to being unique in your marketing. We're diving into the world of crazy marketing campaigns - & debating if Ariana Madix had the best clap back ever via... batteries? Either way, it proves the importance of social listening, impeccable timing, &am...

Disclaimer: we're not crazy. We're taking you down a rabbit hole of AI, from marketing campaigns to The Fast & The Furious - it's all around us. But will it ever replace creatives completely? We don't think so. But we can't help but to be intrigued👀 Speaking of - have you checked on Britney Spears lately? We think she might be CGI. Deepfakes have us both fascinated & f...

We're diving into the nitty-gritty & spilling all of the tea of social media in this Q&A sesh. From how to show up on your Instagram story, to the age-old debate of whether hashtags are dead, we're here to set the record straight (to the best of our knowledge lol). Editing, storytelling, & monetizing got you puzzled? We got you. Favorite tools + resources? Telling you all of &#...

Is social media management a 2023 MLM? We wish we didn't feel this way, but we do. In this episode we're shedding light on the scams that fill our little corner of the internet, share our experience with fear-based tactics, & exposing some of the most common lies you may be consuming from your favorite guru's content. Don't worry, you'll be an expert of spotting the red fla...

Welcome! We're so happy you're here! We're your hosts, Lex & Veronika, & we're so excited to take you along for our doom scrolls & deep dives - but first we need to introduce ourselves.
