🎙 The 17th episode of Two Red Chairs - a G’day Design Life podcast, is LIVE!

Today's chat was raw, off the cuff and only hours after my guest, Mia, had been ejected from a private Facebook group. Mia had innocently posted a job opportunity for her business Idiello and it got immediately taken down. When Mia questioned it, the admin of that group publicly shamed Mia and left her with no right of reply before kicking her out. 

Now I had this same experience in an Aussie freelance group when I was in the throws of starting my own business a couple years back and so Mia and I share our experiences and expectations for what Facebook Groups and private communities should instead aspire to be. Rather than dogmatic groups that are ruled by their owners as a 'for benefit for them only' group, veiled as being a 'nurturing group to learn'.

I've even heard of some that sound like a regime or even had experiences with lion's den types of groups that are just horrible to be a part of. So while it sounds like we're being a little high and mighty, honestly, if you've experienced toxic double-standard groups, you'll hopefully understand where we are coming from.

And as a little bit about Mia, she's one half of the online marketing service Idiello, with her business partner Lana. Together they help entrepreneurs DIY their marketing for their own businesses, offering their decades of experience and support.

Thanks Mia for being a guest on the show.
