Who inspires you on Social Media?

Do you follow any well known individuals on Social Media that consistently inspire or motivate you and if so would you be willing to share who that is?

There are a lot of ‘celebrity’ type accounts out there that are branded as an individual but are clearly run by a marketing team. This is evident with the volume and nature of the posts. It can be very effective in marketing your brand and is a great way to recycle content from other sources within your organization. While I do enjoy some of those types of accounts I find I get more inspiration from individuals that are actually creating the posts themselves and have something additional to offer than what I could get from their website.

A great example of someone who does this well is Barbara Corcoran. You may recognize her from Shark Tank where she tells it like it is and is great at delivering a tough message. I follow her on Facebook Barbara Corcoran and really get a lot of enjoyment from her posts as well as inspiration. She posts mostly business related content, some from Shark Tank, some from the Entrepreneurs she’s invested with and a lot of how to be a great Entrepreneur wisdom. Along with this she also posts personal photos of her living life, having fun and being with her family. This is a big draw for me as it really speaks to the authenticity of her as an individual not just a brand.
