S3: Ep1 - Melissa Eshaghbeigi talks about the empathetic and ugly future of social media

Exponential Minds Podcast with Chief Futurist Nikolas Badminton

Melissa is a millennial on the Internet and exclusively thinks and talks about the world wide web. She's curious about the intersection of internet culture and real life and tells stories about what people are consuming online to inspire new, relevant and authentic ways for brands to connect with people.

She also works as a Cultural Strategist and has worked on projects for Adidas, Levi's, Twitter, Miller Genuine Draft and most recently, the National Film Board of Canada.

Here Nikolas and Melissa get into the good, great, bad, ugly, and terrifying future of social media and what it can be. Creative, empathetic, and a platform to encourage cultural change.
