Bad Idea Social Club

Ahead of Season 7 on April 14, Aaron McCall and Joe Matteson sit down to show off the studio space, talk through what’s changing, and shake the rust off a bit. They get into the shift to video, what it’s doing to the energy of the show, how this next chapter already feels different, and why they’re both excited and a little nervous about it. It’s loose, it’s honest, and it’s a quick look at where things are headed and what it took to get here.Credits:Aaron McCallHost / Producer / Writer / Editoraaronmccall.netIG: @aaron_mccall—Joe MattesonCo-Host / Photographerthemattesons.coIG: @joedustin—Mike Mains & The BanchesMusicmikemainsmusic.comIG: @mikemainsmusic

Aaron McCall moderates a Creative Mornings Grand Rapids panel discussion on “Growth,” recorded at the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre with more than 200 people in attendance. Joined by Ian Labardee, Bailey Sell, Hannah Berry, and Leigh Ann Cobb, the conversation gets honest about what growth actually looks like once momentum builds—imposter syndrome, uncertainty, shifting priorities, burnout, community, and the small, often invisible changes that shape us over time. Recorded by Green Frog, this episode isn’t about tidy success stories. It’s about showing up, staying curious, and understanding how growth is rarely linear and rarely done alone.Keep up with Creative Mornings GR: creativemornings.com/gr IG: @creativemorningsgrWriter/Producer/Editor/Host:Aaron McCallaaronmccall.netInstagram: @aaron_mccallLinkedIn: Aaron McCallCo-Host/Sidekick/Photographer:Joe Mattesonthemattesons.coInstagram: @joe_dustinCo-Host/Sidekick/Manager:Amber GrayInstagram: @bad_ambellinaLinkedIn: Amber GrayMusic:"Noises" by Mike Mains & The BranchesHelp Support the Podcast:Buy MerchMake a DonationFollow Bad Idea Social Club:badideasocialclub.comInstagram: @badideasocialclubLinkedIn: Bad Idea Social Club Hosted on Acast.

This time, we’re talking about the mess of being online. From LiveJournal drama to influencer marketing and the existential weight of Instagram captions, we dig into what makes social media feel necessary, fake, addictive, useful, and totally exhausting.
