Live Panel: Post-Social—Growing Your Creative Business Beyond the Algorithms Artwork

Cultures within Capitalism

This is a podcast looking at all things company culture. Through this series, we’ll speak to entrepreneurs who are part of the Ask Holly How community to understand the different cultures that exist under the broad umbrella of capitalism. We’ll look into how our personal stories impact the cultures we create. Our music is composed and performed by me on the bassoon and Johnny Simon on guitar. It’s inspired by the 5-note pentatonic scale of Scottish folk music in the 18th century - the same time Adam Smith was formulating Capitalism. Our sound engineer is Johnny Simon, and our logo design is by Rodrigo Miguel with illustrations by Rodrigo & Kathleen Scudder. The [w/n] abbreviation is a nod to scientific chart-writing.

Live Panel: Post-Social—Growing Your Creative Business Beyond the Algorithms

Post-Social: Growing Your Business Beyond the Algorithms

Post-Social is a gathering for entrepreneurs building businesses without relying on social media. In a culture that prizes constant posting and algorithmic visibility, this panel explores what happens when you step away—and what you might gain. Moderated by Martha Williams (BreakBread World), with panelists Harry Doull (Keap Candles), Holly Howard (Ask Holly How & Pyramid.work), and Lee Tilghman (author, If You Don’t Like This I Will Die), the evening was a conversation featuring three business owners who’ve either left social platforms or deprioritized them in favor of slower, more intentional growth. Panelists shared real tools and strategies: newsletters, SEO, press, partnerships, in-person events, and word-of-mouth.
