THE GODMOTHER OF SOCIAL MEDIA: The Truth About Going Viral & Not Waiting to Live Your Dream Life with Kate Buck Jr.
Kate Buck Jr. has been called the Godmother of Social Media — and for good reason. In 2010, she launched her course, Social Media Pro, and was featured nationally on Fox News as one of the very first six-figure social media managers. Since then, she has trained over 50,000 social media professionals worldwide, and her client list includes many top direct response marketers such as Keala Kanae, Perry Belcher, Mark Moss and Russell Brunson.If you’ve followed a “social media manager training” in the last decade, odds are it traces back to her.But Kate’s story isn’t just about social media. It’s about building freedom, burning things down to rebuild better, learning to protect energy as much as profit and not waiting to live the life of your dreams. From early days selling custom MySpace layouts to running HTB Media and leading Social Media Pro, Kate has reinvented herself again and again - always with a sharp eye for what’s next.In this conversation, we dive deep into strategy, operations, leadership, and the raw reality of building a business in an industry that reinvents itself every few years. Kate brings candor, wisdom, and fire to a conversation that will challenge how you think about building both your business and your life.In this episode, we explore:🔥 How Kate became the “godmother of social media” 🔥 What she learned working with Russell Brunson, Ryan Deiss, Perry Belcher, and other industry giants🔥 The tension between being a full-time content creator vs. a full-time entrepreneur (and how to bridge the gap)🔥 Why she burned down her business — and rebuilt it for freedom🔥 The trade-offs she refuses to make anymore after a health wake-up call🔥 Why community isn’t optional for entrepreneurs (and how her Golden Girls mastermind became a lifeline against isolation)🔥 How expansion and contraction phases show up in life and business — and why saying “no” is power🔥 What it really takes to lead teams as a translator between visionaries and operators🔥 Why “know, like, trust” hasn’t changed — but why “more is more” is the new social media reality🔥 The uncomfortable truth about going viral (and why hiding behind safe content won’t cut it anymore)🔥 Her biggest non-negotiables when working with clients - and why boutique beats assembly line every timeKate’s blend of experience, vulnerability, and straight talk will leave you thinking differently about leadership, marketing, and the business you’re building.👋 Follow Kate @katebuckjr or Social Media Pro @socialmediapro on the platform of your choice!More about our courses is available at: SocialMediaPro.com-----------If you’re new here, I’m Alex—Strategic Growth Architect, keynote speaker, podcast host and creator of The CEO Recode.
