Click here to listen to this podcast episode on iTunes now! In this podcast episode, we learn the import of what it is to see everyone on social media as humans, and not just another comment or direct message in our inbox. It was an absolute pleasure interviewing Mr. Scott Eddy. He really opened up my eyes and helped me realize the importance of seeing my Instagram followers, Facebook fans, etc., like actual people.
