"Getting Canceled Changed my Life" with Ty Kelly

Have you ever met someone who has ACTUALLY walked through being "canceled?" In this episode, I’m joined by Ty Kelly, content creator, husband, dad, and follower of Jesus, for an honest conversation about cancel culture. You might recognize Ty from his viral Chick-fil-a and Husband Bootcamp videos. But one day, everything changed when his family “Disney Shoe Hack” video sparked a media firestorm.
 
Today, Ty shares from his heart the realities of what his family walked through, what he’s learned about his faith, his influence and his plans for the future. This episode really taught me about how quick we can be to judge and cancel others in a social media world. I am so grateful to Ty for coming on to share his story.

A Pastor’s Take on Social Media: Boundaries, Branding & Biblical Truth with Pastor Clayton Baird

How does a pastor approach social media? In this episode of Upside Down Influencer, I sit down with Pastor Clayton Baird from Legacy House to explore how he navigates the digital world while staying true to his calling. We discuss the boundaries he sets to protect his heart, family, and church, the tension between ministry and personal branding, and the challenge of staying authentic in an online-driven culture.
