    Practical, insightful, that were fun to listen to!
    Just wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I love your podcast! Your episode Being afraid NOT doing it had tips that were practical, insightful, that were fun to listen to! As a mother it was refreshing to listen to another boss mom!! I'm a Co-founder of Level Up Creators, where we help creators build profitable and purpose-driven businesses around their areas of expertise. I’m always grateful to run across other leaders in the Creator Economy – there are so many creators who benefit from your advice! I’m looking forward to diving into more of your episodes in the future. Thanks again for creating such an awesome podcast!

    SO SO helpful
    As someone who is not super Instagram savvy this podcast has been a Godsend. Sara is such a wealth of knowledge on all things IG and her guests are brilliant!

    such a happy little podcast
    Sarah’s podcast is so happy and lovely, while tackling some very serious business strategy concepts. Her guests are always interesting and I’ve found myself thinking about their interviews days later. I think this podcast is one for anyone - even if you aren’t a creative entrepreneur or maker. It opens your eyes to various entrepreneurs and makers to support with your business, and if nothing else to give a “like” on Instagram!
  • Spark creativity
    Love it!
    Really appreciate your creativity and perspective, Sara. Loved your book too! Cheers.

    Really helpful for blogger entrepreneurs
    I really liked this show, really helpful for writers and bloggers starting a business. I especially liked the Nir Eyal episodes, really interesting take on productivity and not getting distracted.

Sara does an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and out of writing, social media, photography, online business and intentional living! Each conversation is empowering, easy to dive into and levels you up no matter where you are in your journey. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

    Truly a Gem
    Sara Tasker is the best kept secret of Instagram gurus, but certainly not for long! I recommend this podcast, and her book of the same name, to all independent creatives and entrepreneurs who want to grow their online presence and, smartly, connect with their ~right people~ without the gimmicks and false promises of so many self-proclaimed experts. Congratulations, you’ve just found a gem! 💎

    Love it!
    Lighthearted and refreshing podcast. Are there show notes that I can’t find? If not it would be so nice to get links to the people interviewed!
  • MargotRobert
    Thanks Sara!
    I just discovered your Podcasts and Safari I love it! Such great tips, so interesting… I finally understand more about how Instagram is working. I just started to show my photography work on Instagram, and I can’t wait to use your advices and explanations at work !

    Feels like having a mentor
    I’ve been listening to Hashtag Authentic as I run errands in the car, as I do mundane housework or painting projects and I am learning so much. Feels like chatting with a wise friend because I’ve been awakened to new ideas and information. Sara’s unassuming sweet voice is a comfort but she also has so much expertise to share. I’ve been introduced to many instagrammers I wouldn’t have found otherwise each with their unique inspiring stories. Lovely podcast - go back to the beginning once you’ve caught up on the recent ones. Can’t recommend highly enough.

    New favorite podcast!
    I know I’m a little late to the party, but after finding Sara’s podcast a few months ago through an Instagram friend, I am completely obsessed. I’ve always listened to podcasts, but now that I’ve found Hashtag Authentic and Letters From A Hopeful Creative, I am listening to them constantly. Before, if I was feeling bored and didn’t know what to do I would sit down on the sofa and get lost in my favorite Netflix series, and now I feel like I’m just being so much more conscious and thoughtful with how I spend my time. I think part of what helped me to break that hard habit was listening to Sara and her guests. I can’t thank you enough for always making me feel inspired - even on my worst days!
  • GiGi Cara
    Great podcast - not so great show notes!
    I love this podcast and would give it five stars except it is very difficult to find the website or the person you are interviewing on social media or find their website/blog! You do not have it in the show notes and I would love to be able to see what you are talking about. I am engaged with what you are talking about, but when I want to search through the guest’s Instagram or blog or website you do not make it easily accessible. Please share the info talked about in the podcast in the show notes so we can access it easier! Thank you!
  • hhtrue
    Entertaining and actionable
    I absolutely love your podcast. I’ve gained at least one actionable insight that I can apply to my business from every episode. Thank you so much for the beauty and value you provide here and on other platforms!
  • JO jay
    Life changing
    I can’t for the life of me remember how I stumbled across Sara’s podcast but I thank whatever string of circumstances let me to her. I’m not exaggerating when I say this podcast has changed my life. I had no clue this community and these kind of jobs exist and that it is absolutely possible and realistic to pursue a creative career that allows you to work from home. It’s the kind of life I desired but instead was out in a big city chasing a dream job I never wanted in the first place and was terribly confused why I’m so depressed all the time. Sara opened up a whole new world to me and therefore a new perspective on who I am and who I can be. My life is in the messy in between right now, moving towards being a creative, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you for this podcast, what you do is important. And thank you for all the creatives who shared their stories on here, without you I wouldn’t be where I am today.

  • Shawn2212
    Fantastic content, well delivered.
    Stoked to come across this podcast. I’m a male tattoo artist in the states, and it’s still relevant in every way. Every other marketing podcast is so silly and flashy and amped up, but this one is collected and cool and something you can listen to any time.

    Refreshing & Insightful!
    I love this podcast! I'm an artist and creative, working from home alone and this podcast has been keeping me company lately. I love Sarah's perspective and fresh insight. I've learned some helpful tips for my business but much more than that, the conversations have made me think more deeply about connections, relationships and creativity and why we do what we do. Love, love, love!

    #Hashtag Authentic
    Listened to Tara Mohr speak about women cultivating their inner voice, intuition, and presence in society - today, tomorrow and into the future...it's everything I need, everything I've been working on, everything I aspire to. Thank you Sara and Tara!
  • sonique.mary
    My new favorite podcast
    As a creative - photographer and writer, I get a lot from this podcast. Especially the most recent episode about playing it big. I will continue to listen and spread the word about this great source of inspiration and knowledge.
  • Renukostyle
    A must listen
    Sarah's straight forward yet gentle manner makes listening to business related information a pleasure! Thank you Sarah!!
  • Brian in Athens
    New Listener Big Fan
    I just discovered Hashtag Authentic this weekend and am hooked. I’ve found I need to keep my notebook handy as each podcast I’m jotting down actionable nuggets I can apply to my voiceover business. Thank you Sara!
  • Hrsl2223
    The frequent pauses are obnoxious
    I subscribed and went to the first episode because I was interested and really wanted to like this podcast but I couldn't get past the pauses and breaks in the middle of sentences. It's hard to follow along when there's a second long break every few seconds. Just talk like you're having a conversation with someone and the podcast becomes so much better
  • Carolcardigan
    A Lovely Listen
    As a photographer and creative, I always feel so encouraged and refreshed every time I listen to this podcast! There are so many valuable bits of information in each episode. You definitely need to listen!
  • DaynaD.
    So glad I discovered Sara!
    I just discovered Sara and Hashtag Authentic, and it's one of my new favorite podcasts. She has such great info but tells it in a relaxing way that doesn't make me anxious, or feel like I'm doing everything wrong and need to hurry to catch up with the newest "thing." Those podcasts with hyper music and fast talking are so not for me! This is a great podcast to listen to while knitting and working. Thanks Sara!
  • Gothamkid
    refreshing!
    I've bee listening for a while now and finally figured out how to review :P Love your topics and fresh insights. I listen at work and am happy at the distraction from the daily grind. Thank you for your excellent contribution & creative inspiration! //April @wearing_old_bones
  • Atxrach
    Insightful and Encouraging
    My fiance and I have started a media company and I wanted to focus on Instagram. I was DESPERATE to find good, educational content online and the podcast was so perfect. No, it's not all stats and studies, but it really helps me learn how people are doing it, how they are being successful, and helps me get into that headspace. Also, Sara is precious and a joy to listen to.
  • Karens_daughter
    Love this podcast
    I'm going to keep this short and meaningful. It's so good. Like I close my eyes and I'm at my fave cafe with friends, having a good chat. I'm just gonna be happy for you when you go have a listen.
  • Rebekah Bethany
    Very helpful
    Sara offers immediately helpful advice for your Instagram account. I love listening.
  • E Waller
    Real, down to earth, great info
    This is really new but I already look forward to each episode. I've followed Sara's Instagram feed for a while (if you're not familiar check it out). The topics in these podcasts are very useful and real. She talks like she's talking to a friend. I'm really happy these exist now!
  • Rcg2t
    love everything about this podcast!
    From the very first episode, where I finally got an answer to (and was able to stop obsessing over) why I kept gaining and losing instagram followers in almost equal amounts!!! ... I have loved what I'm learning on Sara's podcast! So helpful and inspirational! Thank you! you've come along at exactly the right time for me. Keep them coming, please!!
  • xandrathebold
    Inspiring, refreshing, and ESSENTIAL
    Oh my goodness, this podcast in all its simplicity and brevity is now essential for fueling my Instagram mojo. Growing my account has been something I ‘know I should do’ but Sara makes this task positively FUN. I have not only been enjoying Instagram more, but have gained followers, comments, and even friends since taking her advice. SO glad the episodes are coming out more than monthly - I am totally reliant on them now! ;)
  • Flowerspowerlady

    Finally an answer to annoying fact of unfollowing
    I have an Instagram account based on StarWars with nearly 9k followers StarWarsbyCarrie Periodically throughout the day while posting I'll glance at followers. Some days the nasty happens and the numbers go in the wrong direction Why Why Here's great incite and maybe following these points I'll hit 9 k soon
