Exploring Literature and the Impact of Punk Culture

Today’s guest before a little summer break is Yancey Strickler – previously co-founder and CEO of Kickstarter, currently co-founder of Metalabel. Yancey is also a writer and in 2019, his excellent first book was published - This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World. In the book and in this conversation, Yancey also discusses a useful decision making framework that he came up with called Bentoism

His second book which he put out on Metalabel is The Dark Forest Anthology of the Internet which he co-wrote with some great collaborators.

And collaboration and community is core to Yancey’s career DNA. in this episode, we discuss both in great deal, as well as the highs and lows of running the innovative rocket ship which Kickstarter became and why he believes self acceptance is so importance.

I really enjoyed talking to Yancey and I think you will get a lot of great lessons from this episode so here is my episode with Yancey Strickler.
