TikTok and Ya Don't Stop...
It's finally here - the first episode of "On Air From the Chair"! In this week's episode, Brinn dared to take the chair with her Uncle Mike (aka Big Mike). In this hilarious and highly informative podcast, you get to see Brinn teach her Uncle how to make the best connections on everything social media from Instagram (the"gram") to Snapchat from a teenager's perspective. She even taught her Uncle how to do his first TikTok dance and you CANNOT miss it! Brinn definitely has a knack for being behind the mic (perhaps inherited from her Uncle!?!). She's extraordinary in every way - beautiful, witty and amazingly articulate. We LOVED having her on the show and so will YOU.
