🤩Oh, social media—those wonderful platforms that use intermittent reinforcement patterns to keep us blissfully addicted. Their algorithms? Totally transparent and unchanging...just kidding! They change all the time, like capricious, moody lovers who sometimes give us attention, care, affection, or validation—when they feel like it. Who doesn't love the thrill of never knowing if we'll be rewarded or punished next?
🤯This nerve-wrecking inconsistency is carefully cultivated to keep us hooked, much like someone with an anti-social personality disorder. Yes, you heard me: it’s ANTI-social, not social. But hey, who cares if it's as addictive as heroin and just as detrimental, right?
🎧🎬In this month’s episode of the Code Red Podcast, join Chris Kalaboukis and me as we explore the addictive behaviors driven by anti-social social media platforms. We also delve into four different future scenarios for the evolution of social media.
💡What do you envision for the future of social media? Which of these scenarios resonates with you the most, and how can we work together to make it a reality?
👇Share your thoughts in the comments below! ♥️

🎯If you're eager to take charge, break through barriers, and envision future scenarios for your business, I've got a great tool for you: it's called future scenario thinking. Developed by the U.S. Air Force back in the 1940s, this technique dives deep into what drives decisions, helping us understand the root causes and mechanisms behind them. It's all about working together to shape the future we really want.
🫶This approach brings what's lurking in your subconscious to the forefront, helping you gain clarity, craft a long-term vision, and make confident choices. When we're intentional about our decisions, everything shifts dramatically in our experience.
💌We work with courageous individuals with an open mind for a different view who are brave enough to change the world by starting with themselves.
