Earlier this month, I sent a newsletter to my audience with the subject line: “Ask me a question.” Basically I told everyone to jump in the comments section of the post and ask me any questions they have about the media industry or creator economy.

Several of you did pipe in with questions, and so I spent a few hours jotting down notes and then recording this episode you’re about to consume.

I answered questions on a range of topics like the difference between a creator-led company and traditional media outlet, non-traditional media business models, my advice on launching a media business in 2024, and how long it takes to build a media business from scratch.
