Social Media Fails: Why Starting Over is NOT the Answer

It's been estimated that just over half the world's population access social media in some form. That's nearly four and a half billion people.

Despite that incredible amount of usage, only a small fraction of those users fully appreciate the impact social media has on business, education, entertainment, and even our everyday lives. We view it as a "value add" or, most often, an annoyance. The fact is, social media is the primary source of information for a great many people around the world, and that gives it tremendous impact.

In today's episode, Chris shares some of his insights on the successes (and more importantly the mistakes) he's made utilizing social media in his business.

You'll learn the mistake he made early on around social media, the lessons and insights he gained from the error, and what he did to resolve the issue. (And it didn't involve deleting his account and starting over.)

You'll discover why knowing the basic structure of various social media platforms is not enough if you want to leverage it for your business in an effective way.

You'll learn the importance of seeing failures as learning opportunities, and why starting over on social media is usually not the right answer when something goes wrong.


Join Chris as he offers his insights and real world experience in the implementation and use of social media for your business.


Enjoy!



What You’ll Learn in this Show:

  • Why social media is used by nearly everyone, but not appreciated by most for its impact on the world.
  • Why using social media in a powerful, effective way for your business requires effort, and often outside expertise.
  • The importance of approaching things such as social media with a lack of ego and a willingness to see failures as learning opportunities.
  • And so much more...

Christopher Naghibi

Christopher M. Naghibi is the host and founder of The Higher Standard podcast — a rapidly growing media platform delivering unfiltered financial literacy, real-world entrepreneurship lessons and economic commentary for the modern era.

After nearly two decades in banking, including his most recent role as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of First Foundation Bank (NYSE: FFWM), Christopher stepped away from corporate life to build a brand rooted in truth, transparency, and modern money insights. While at First Foundation, he had executive oversight of credit, product development, depository services, retail banking, loan servicing, and commercial operations. His leadership helped scale the bank’s presence in multiple national markets from $0 to over $13 billion.

Christopher is a licensed attorney, real estate broker, and general building contractor (Class B), and he brings a rare blend of legal, operational and real estate expertise to everything he does. His early career spanned diverse lending platforms, including multifamily, commercial, private banking, and middle market lending — holding key roles at Impac Commercial Capital Corporation, U.S. Financial Services & Residential Realty, and First Fidelity Funding.

In addition to his media work, Christopher is the CEO of Black Crown Inc. and Black Crown Law APC, which oversee his private holdings and legal affairs.

He holds a Juris Doctorate from Trinity Law School, an MBA from American Heritage University, and two bachelor degrees. He is also a graduate of the Yale School of Management’s Global Executive Leadership Program.

A published author and sought-after speaker (unless it’s his son’s birthday), Christopher continues to advocate for financial empowerment. He’s worked pro bono with families in need, helped craft affordable housing programs through Habitat for Humanity, and was a founding board member of She Built This City — helping spark interest in construction and trades for women of all ages.
