Motorcycles, Social Media, and Doing It For the Gram
Over the last few months, I’ve heard multiple podcasts making mention of “fake people” on social media (in a much more eloquent fashion). While they’re correct, I can’t help but feel the tone of the message was painting social media … Continue reading
