i think one of the things that helped me most was i had a lot of inner dissonance early on when i was starting my blog, in my newsletter. And part of it was, i wanted to make money from it, but i also just wanted to share what i was thinking. So you really have to keep at it for a long time until people trust you and you find the right way of doing that. I almost wanted it to be a career. But in some ways it was a hobby. This is just something where i want to have fun a passion project.

In this episode, Cal and Steph also cover the rise of the creator economy -- both its promise and pitfalls.
They breakdown why the heightened attention toward creators, whether we can expect a creator "middle class" anytime soon, the importance of IP, and even explore what it truly means to be a "creator"...
