We’ve had the pleasure and privilege to talk to an amazing group of people who shared their experiences with unfollowing. They come from a broad range of industries and countries. They are either great creatives who have unfollowing built into their profession and character, and/or because they have shown that they are able to unfollow their path and inspire others with their actions and stories. Their stories help us understand that although we all struggle at some point in our lives, unfollowing can help us find a way out, as was the case for these people. No matter how different they are to each other, they all see the necessity of unfollowing in order to create progress. If you wan to to share your story click here.
