Should you speak your mind on social media? In the current world of chaos on X/Twitter, trolls coming out from under their bridges and people sharing out-of-context screenshots of conversations, the internet often doesn’t feel like the sort of place where you can say what you really think any more. But, is that necessarily true? When is it okay to share your beliefs, opinions and anything that might be seen as a little spicy🌶️?
Now – let’s be clear. We don’t really think that you should never air any of your opinions online (we wouldn’t be The Two Lauras otherwise!), but there definitely is a time and a place for certain things. If you’re just wanting to have a rant, would it be better to share that with your friend down the pub? Or would it be a rant that’s actually of benefit to your potential business clients and audience?
Today’s episode is all about working out whether it’s a good idea for you (or your clients) to share your beliefs and opinions online, and in what context. It’s not a blanket one-size-fits-all answer, so listen in to hear us discuss this controversial topic!
