In this exclusive episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie shares the platform’s bold vision to reshape media, publishing, and free speech.

With over 5 million paid subscriptions, Substack is becoming a major force in the media economy. Hamish breaks down how the platform is helping writers, podcasters, and creators take control of their audience and income - without relying on ads or algorithms.

This conversation explores Substack’s move into video and audio, the challenges of scaling in the UK, and the role AI will play in future content creation. Hamish also discusses Substack’s impact on elections, journalism, and the creator economy - and why he believes we’re only at the beginning.

If you care about the future of media, free expression, or the business of content - this is one you can’t miss.
