This is more than a podcast, this is a global movement. A space for the unapologetic, the unfiltered, the ones who are done playing small and ready to fully express who they are - in life, in business, and in their voice. I’m Clare Garner, and around here we don’t script it, soften it, or polish it up for the internet. These are the real conversations. The ones most people are too scared to have. As entrepreneurs, We talk about business, yes - podcast growth, personal branding, visibility, content, money, and building a brand that actually converts. But we also talk about identity, relationships, spirituality, breakdowns, power, truth, and everything that comes with being an entrepreneur behind the scenes. Because this isn’t just about building a business. It’s about becoming the person who leads it. Nothing is held back. Nothing is curated. Nothing is performed. It’s free-flow, raw, sometimes unhinged - and that’s exactly why it changes people. This is the space people find when they’re ready for more. More truth. More power. More depth. More of themselves. And it’s why this isn’t just a podcast people listen to - it’s one they feel, share, and…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T12:18:52.890441+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/raw-and-real-the-unfiltered-podcast-for-women-who-scale-with-clare-garner-7040538"},"episode":{"title":"71: Why I Quit Social Media (And My Business Grew Faster): With Polly Pollock","slug":"71-why-i-quit-social-media-and-my-business-grew-faster-with-polly-pollock","published_at":"2026-06-17T01:42:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/raw-and-real-the-unfiltered-podcast-for-women-who-scale-with-clare-garner-7040538/71-why-i-quit-social-media-and-my-business-grew-faster-with-polly-pollock","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/raw-and-real-the-unfiltered-podcast-for-women-who-scale-with-clare-garner-7040538","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rawandrealclaregarner/episodes/71-Why-I-Quit-Social-Media-And-My-Business-Grew-Faster-With-Polly-Pollock-e3kgcil","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/dfb49760/podcast/play/121171989/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-8%2F425730993-44100-2-3f8053e318478.mp3","summary":"What if the thing you've been told is essential for growing your business... is actually the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode of Raw & Real, I'm joined by ADHD marketing and sales mentor Polly, and we dive into a conversation that completely challenges the narrative most entrepreneurs have been sold about business growth, visibility and social media. Because here's the truth: More content doesn't automatically create more clients. More followers don't automatically create more freedom. And being constantly online doesn't automatically create a sustainable business. Together we explore what happens when you stop building your business around algorithms and start building it around alignment, strategy, trust and real human connection. We talk about: ✨ Why Polly completely stepped away from social media ✨ The hidden addiction many entrepreneurs have to Instagram ✨ Building a business without relying on content creation ✨ ADHD entrepreneurship and creating a business that works for your brain ✨ Freedom-based business models ✨ Why social media isn't the only way to generate leads and sales ✨ The difference between visibility and authority ✨ Marketing strategies beyond Instagram ✨ Building trust in an increasingly sceptical online world ✨ Why so many business owners feel trapped by the very business they've created We also dive into something that has been a huge theme in my own life recently: Freedom. Not freedom as a buzzword. Not freedom as a marketing slogan. But real freedom. The freedom to travel. The freedom to relocate. The freedom to spend your time how you choose. The freedom to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it. Because if your business relies on you constantly posting, constantly creating and constantly being online...
