Episode 60: Cultivating Community on Social Media

Dr. Maggie Jordan discusses her endeavor to create a social network and community for female gamers.

There are a plethora of choices when it comes to social media networks, but what happens when none of them provide the experience or community you’re looking for? You create your own. At least that’s what Dr. Maggie Jordan did. An avid gamer since childhood, Jordan was frustrated with the lack of inclusivity and support she saw for women in the gaming community.

In this fun episode of The Social Angle, Melissa Newman sits down with Jordan, founder of Lair, to talk about how a gap in the market and a passion for gaming inspired her to create her own social media platform for women. She shares how joining Chief gave her the social support she needed to achieve her dreams and how you can support Lair.
