Feel Good Social Podcast: Branding and Marketing for Down-to-Earth Entrepreneurs

Welcome to Human-First Founders — the podcast for down-to-earth entrepreneurs who care deeply, think differently, and want to build a business that actually feels good to run.

Hosted by Kinsey Soderberg of Authentic AI, this show is your cozy corner of the internet where we get real about what it takes to grow a brand with heart — in a world that’s constantly trying to automate, hustle, and "optimize" the humanity right out of it.

Each week, you’ll hear thought-provoking convos with values-led founders, behind-the-scenes stories from Kinsey’s business (and brain), and the occasional AI tip — always delivered with a human-first lens.

Whether you’re navigating brand strategy, marketing mindset blocks, or the weirdness of being a creative online, this show is here to remind you: you don’t have to do it like everyone else. You get to do it in a way that feels good to YOU.

Great Info

Although I offer other services in my business, I spend more time learning marketing than anything else. Many of the marketing podcasts are just too technical and they lose me. Your podcasts are enjoyable, fun and the information is broken down so we can understand. Thank you.

Relatable SMM podcast

I enjoy listening to podcasts, so when I started my small social media management business- I thought finding a podcast that could relate to my services would help give me some extra guidance. I found the Feel Good Social podcast and must have binge listened over a weekend while paining my living room. Honestly, it was refreshing to listen to Kinsey & her message - it wasn’t some cheesy over-the-top marketer saying things that seemed so unachievable, it was a message that was relatable. Her guests have different - yet similar messages - in that they are people that I can relate to. I would say this podcast has really helped with some of my growth - personally & professionally. Thanks for keeping it real ✌🏼
