Twitter verified? Hear about blue checks and success on ‘Ain’t Nobody Checkin’ For Me’
Rachel Joravsky and Cody Wilkins are unverified and unchecked – on Twitter that is. What is it about that elusive blue check that we want so bad? Well, I mean, besides the external validation that people know your name. So, together, they are digging into the myth of success by chatting with their uber accomplished friends. “Ain’t Nobody Checkin’ For Me” is a podcast for those waiting to be verified.
