Summary
This is Topic Thunder episode -- our rapid-fire panel discussion show.
Today’s question was inspired by a Reddit post in which someone lost out on more than one job because they had a very small social media following. As a business owner – especially a small business owner with little or no marketing budget – would you pick the candidate with the biggest following if all other factors were equal?
Our buddy Matt Ogi joined us for this one. You can find him on @matt_ogi on Instagram.
