Social Media and EMS


Who the hell am I?


Why am I speaking on social media?

The best way to learn something is to try and teach it


Why bother with social media?

“I need to pee”

“I peed”

“This is where I pee”

“Why do I need to pee?”

“CHECK OUT this PEE”

“I have a PhD in urinating”

“I pee therefore I am”


Social = Fun = Motivated
