The Rise of B2B Creators and Turpentine's Approach

In this podcast episode, Eric Turentberg discusses the rise of B2B creators and the focus of his media company, Turpentine. He believes there is a big opportunity to build an audience in a box business, where creators who are big on one platform can expand their reach to other platforms. Turpentine aims to create niche-focused podcasts for specific business verticals, such as CFOs or people in AI, believing that these niches will only continue to grow and attract valuable audiences. By owning these niche distribution channels, Turpentine can not only build a valuable media business but also use the audience to incubate other products or invest in businesses that cater to those niche audiences.
