Episode notes

Be real's current format can work if they're able to innovate on the business model, right? Maybe there's another business model we haven't thought about. I think more likely what be real needs to do is they need to ladder into something new. They've built something really compelling. And they've been able to generate a critical mass of people that interact with their format and come back to the app almost every day. That's what an evolving product needs to do to survive.

In the 38th episode Founder of Anchor Mike Mignano joins to talk about how he and Logan met, the origins of Anchor, selling to Spotify, what he sees as the future of podcasting, and Web3’s role in the creator economy. Plus Logan talks about his most recent Twitter backlash over being reasonably skeptical.
