Social Media Manager Confidential

Shanté Gorman, Mentor for Social Media Managers

The Social Media Manager Confidential is the podcast for social media managers who want realistic, positive, and insightful resources so they can build an ethical, money-making business that supports their lifestyle goals. Each week, your host Shanté Gorman (that's me) and my guests will share strategies & content tips, what we do and don't love about working in the industry, and give transparent advice about running a social media management business. We're dishing on the ins and outs of the social media management world without any of the gatekeeping that can come along with it. You'll learn, you'll laugh, and you'll leave each episode inspired. I was a broke single mom turned founder of a multi 6-figure social media management agency and I mentor social media managers working on creating agencies of their own.
