Max Stossel is an award-winning poet and filmmaker named by Forbes as one of the best storytellers of the year. He has performed across 5 continents, and his films have been viewed and loved by many millions of people. Words That Move is his new, first-of-its-kind, Stand Up Poetry Special. A live performance of nine stories told on stage at Kings Theater, each with its own combination of live-action, VFX, and animation. Like Derek Delgaudio's "In and of Itself" or Bo Burnham's "Inside," it's a new category of content that is undeniably moving and delightful.\n\nThis Episode\u2019s Heavy-hitter\u2019s:\n\n\n\nMax actually filmed Words That Moved in King\u2019s Theatre in front of a completely empty room as part of his creative process and commentary on social media and community.\n\nBefore working in writing and performing, Max actually worked for a small social media app that had raised money from Mark Cuban. They were working on making \u201cInstagram for Video before Instagram had video.\u201d This was where Max learned about the unhealthy war for consumer attention that social media apps constantly fight.\n\nIs Instagram listening to us? \u201cI think the truth is scarier,\u201d says Max, who believes Instagram\u2019s data and analysis are so good that it can figure out targeted ads to serve you off of that alone.\n\nWe talk about the proliferation of \u201csex sells\u201d in all different types of social media content and how it\u2019s affecting kids.\n\nMax gives his breakdown of how he would create a social media app if tasked with the challenge today.\n\nCheck out Max's special: https://www.wordsthatmove.com/special\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\n\n#thePOZcast is brought to you by our friends at Interseller \u2013 the prospecting + outreach platform of recruiters and sellers.
