Harnessing Substack for Direct Monetization in Content Creation

The boys kick off the show with Dow Jones news and their AI content marketplace of 5,000 publishers. The real news? Vertical content opportunities using proprietary LLMs may ultimately steal the show for B2B content creators.

Differentiation is the key coming from B2B speakers at a recent marketing event. The move from company creators to individuals is in full force.

And is Substack the new Instagram for smaller creators?

Winners and losers include bars in Key West, Levi's and UTC.

Rants and raves include MSNBC's big shift, Jeff Bezos, X and Forrester.
