The Heart & Hustle Podcast

Who's done letting the Instagram algorithm be their excuse for why they aren't growing? We know we are and so is Nathan Chanski! We are chatting with Nate on the podcast today ALL on the topic of how he grew from 1k to 16k+ followers in less than a year. We dive into the topic of Instagram growth with Nate and what he did to see such growth within a year. Nate shares where he was mentally with his business and Instagram a year ago. What he was doing on the app (or rather…not doing…) Nate's story is SO powerful and relatable to a LOT of creative business owners and we know you're going to get SO much out of hearing his story. He then gives us a TRUCKLOAD of tangible tips and strategies he uses on the gram every day that helped him grow so drastically. Sparknotes: Reels were a big one, so if you're wanting help with Reels, Nate's got you. He ends the chat by giving such a powerful takeaway and message that reaches beyond just Instagram and business, and applies to ALL of life. And hint: he won Lindsey's heart cause he used a Taylor Swift analogy.

Today we're going back to the very beginning of our Instagram journeys. When we first started being intentional with the app as a platform to create a business and personal brand back in 2015-2016. While we look back and notice things we did right to get us where we are today, we also look back and MEGA cringe at the silly, stupid, or plain harmful things we did at the beginning of our Instagram journeys to try and get more followers, be accepted, or be considered cool. Today we're breaking it down into the top things we did right AND wrong in the very beginning of creating a brand on Instagram. P.S. Full permission to stalk our Insta's and scroll down to around 2015-2017 to laugh with us today on the show. Are you ready to travel back to the past and learn some fun Instagram tips!?
