Talk Insta to Me – Details, episodes & analysis

Every week, Adam Mosseri, aka the Head of Instagram, answers questions on his Stories in his weekly AMA. 

I’ve been quietly stalking these for ages, but I’ve decided to start bringing the good stuff here to the podcast and breaking it all down for you.
 
Because let’s be honest... some of his answers are helpful... and others need a little extra explaining :) So each week, I’ll give you the real takeaways and how to actually use them to grow on Instagram.

In this episode, we’re covering 4 topics he touched on this week:

1. The metrics that matter most for Reels
2. How often you should actually post
3. Do inactive followers affect your reach?
4. And the most interesting one: Instagram Search (and why it’s becoming very important)

Your Instagram is your space.
You don’t need permission to protect your peace.
You don’t owe anyone your energy, your replies, or your platform.

In this episode, I’m getting real about boundaries, the block button, and why using it isn’t “dramatic” - it’s actually powerful.

I’ll share what recently happened when a follower crossed the line in my DMs, why I blocked her without hesitation, and why you should never feel guilty for doing the same.

You’ve probably heard this Instagram growth advice before.
Some big coaches preach it.
Some creators swear by it.
And it’s one of the most common “strategies” I see recommended online.

But here’s the truth: it’s also one of the worst things you can do if you want to grow with confidence, clarity, and real results 🤯

In this episode, I’m breaking down why this advice is keeping you stuck, invisible, and creatively blocked, and what to focus on instead if you’re ready to grow in a way that actually works for you.

If you’re tired of following mainstream advice, and still not seeing growth, this is the truth bomb you didn’t know you needed 💣🤌🏼
