According to the Pew Research Center, 69% of adults in the U.S. use social media. And since platforms like Facebook are proven to be addictive and often associated with anxiety and depression, this puts a large amount of the population at an increased risk of feeling ill over their social media use.

In the latest Social Angle podcast, first streamed live on Facebook, ASI Media’s Vinnie Driscoll chats with several promo pros active on social media to discuss its negative impacts, the networks they find most troublesome and advice to help mitigate risk.

In this in-depth, roundtable discussion, Driscoll, as well as social media veterans Charity Gibson of Peerless Umbrella (asi/76730); Javier Melendez of Walker-Clay Inc. (asi/354530); Savannah Dmytriw of Team SCG; Mandi Rudd of Brand Energy Marketing (asi/145223); and Amanda Delaney of Hirsch Gift (asi/61005), provide personal examples of how social media had taken them down some dark paths and how they were able to overcome their struggles.
