Why We Need to Use Digital to Listen (Thinks Out Loud Episode 290) – Headlines and Show Notes

If you’re like me, you’re probably confused, angry, and sad at the moment. With the killing of George Floyd, the subsequent protests and riots, Covid-19, and recession all happening, it’s a challenging time for everyone right now. Business concerns seem trivial compared with these much larger challenges we face.

At the same time, it’s important to do what you can for your community. And digital provides some opportunities to make small, positive steps. One of its greatest strengths: its utility as a listening tool. And listening is probably the first, most important thing we all need to do right now.

This episode of Thinks Out Loud looks at why we need to use digital to listen. And how, maybe, if we listen, we might be able to make some positive changes in the lives of our customers — and more importantly — our communities.
