Are those followers and the people you're following people that you can learn from, interact with you, can learn from you, can do business with."</p><p>Rob: "Because I'm engaging in the communities I serve, and helping connect those dots, it starts to create these circles of value that open up doors that you never thought possible. And that can be done at any level at any job whether you're in content, a marketer, operations, front line, behind the scenes, it doesn't matter. Every stage of your life and every job you work, you're creating connections, answering questions, and providing value and service to somebody."</p><p>Rob: "I got rid of toxicity and when I did that, my network improved, the value of my conversations improved, the dynamics of what I was doing on all my social platforms started to grow."</p><p>Rob: "It's really about engagement. Engaging with the communities that you serve. Engaging and connecting with and having  real conversations with people across social and that opens so many doors for business opportunities, networking, jobs, learning, whatever it is. All these different things happen when you engage." </p><p>Rob: It's all about the social soul. Who you are authentically online, being a real human and showing who you are in a digital life where
