Slow Marketing, Slow Business and how slow movement and conscious marketing can impact the way we market ourselves and do business, have been my research subject for 4 years now. I believe that consciousness and self knowledge are deeply connected to the way we build businesses and its totally possible to use it to have a business that thrives in the long term. I'll be curating content that inspires me to keep moving towards this reality, and proving that it's possible!

This is why answering the question of the creator economy is so important to me. There is plenty of opportunity to go around. I believe we will continue to see novel ways to build a livelihood and increasing numbers of people participating in the economy outside of the container of a “job.” But right now, there is a lot of confusion about the diffe...

I’d argue that the gist of sharecropping on social media is: We rent space on platforms we don’t own. We pay for that space by becoming “the product” whose attention is sold to the highest ads bidder. Our attention is also being usurped by the makers of the platform and what they’ve programmed their algorithm to show us. Our data is being collected, stored, and reused without our knowledge or permission (at times). We are still the workforce that fills the platform with value, ideas, content, and meaning. ------ It doesn’t benefit major social media companies (in a modern, capitalistic business sense) to encourage us to do the things that actually help us change the world and grow our businesses, and spread our ideas the way “gold standard” people are. ----- In the age of AI—and tons of people competing for attention online, if you are a thought leader with meaningful ideas to share: • Trying to compete on quantity is actually foolish. • Trying to compete on quality will weed a few people out, but is clearly not enough because most people I know are already trying that. • Competing on placement, relevance, and the strategic platform you build for your thought leadership is a much better way to spend your energy.

We are naturally drawn to composed people because there’s an old truth that where we speak from we speak to. If you speak from a collapsed place in yourself – you speak to that place in others. If you speak from a place of posturing in you – you will hit that place in others. Neither of those places feel at ease in people and so folks will feel une... See more

Tad Hargrave • collapse, posturing and composure - Marketing For Hippies

Collapsing is a caving in of the shoulders and a slump forward.And it’s driven by an agenda. The hidden agenda of collapsing is “Love me”. We want people to love us and so we sell out our self respect and integrity. What we don’t know when we’re stuck in it is that this is profoundly unattractive. At its extremes it’s repulsive.Fundamentally, colla... See more
