Aidan is one of the Co-Founders of the subreddit \/r\/SandersForPresident, a moderated community on Reddit geared toward political activism and digital grassroots organizing. This community is more than a place to post updates, it's become a powerful network of supporters around the nation working together for a common goal and it's inspiring to see. Regardless of your political interests, Aidan's insights on leading a community are an illuminating education into the human psyche.\r\nEDIT: Shortly after this episode was published, Aidan stepped down as a moderator of the \/r\/SandersForPresident subreddit and accepted a position as Digital Staff for Bernie 2016. At the age of 22 and with no formal experience in politics, Aidan King was recruited to be a part of a presidential campaign. The creation of the subreddit wasn't a ploy designed to land him a job, it was purely his passion for the cause and the community supporting it — the rest happened naturally. THAT is how you Reddit.\r\n\r\nBernie Sanders speaking directly to the \/r\/SandersForPresident community\r\n\/r\/SandersForPresident banding together to support his message\r\n150,000 subscriber milestone reached in April 2014\r\nUser \/u\/rawrmaan keeping close watch on Hilary's marketing\r\n\r\nSubscribe and review the Ghost Influence Podcast on iTunes.\r\nCreate social leverage with the Ghost Influence community.\r\nMusic: ‘Schyzox - My World'","author_name":"The Ghost Influence Podcast: How Viral Happens On Reddit","author_url":"http:\/\/podcast.ghostinfluence.com","html":"
