I'm a huge hip hop fan but don't get the chance to interview a lot of artists.  I've been a fan of Rich for a while. First heard him on Plug Walk and then started digging into his stuff. Some of my faves are No Flash, Tic Toc. Nervous, Bankrolll and Lose My Mind.  I follow him on Twitter and noticed that he started tweeting about NFTs and it peaked my interest. He was buying premium NFTs like Bored Ape.   I really wanted to talk with him then.  It was a blast. We talked about NFTs, his business life, his early days, music and more.  I hope you like this one as much as I did.  And make sure you follow me. I'm going to be doing more artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, in addition  to the biggest creators. Got some surprises coming this year:) Click here for the YT video.

Valkyrae is the biggest female gamer in the world.  She's modeled for Gucci. She's been in a Machine Gun Kelly music video. When she dropped her merch, she got 20,000 orders on the first day.

Taylor Lorenz is a New York Times writer covering tech culture and online creators. She was a Knight Visiting Nieman Fellow at Harvard University where she focused on Instagram and news consumption. And she's appeared on just about every big show talking about internet culture. I started reading Taylor's coverage of the creator world four years ago when she was at The Atlantic. That's when I writing about influencers for Forbes. At the time, she was the only other person that I saw focusing exclusively on creators. Now, every major platform has devoted reporters (or sometimes, entire departments) covering the space. But Taylor was there in the beginning. We talked about the creator economy, TikTok entrepreneurs, how the business has changed and what she thinks the future for creators will look like. She's on leave from the New York Times and is currently writing a book about creators. I can't wait to read it! After the YouTube interview, we hopped over to Spotify Greenroom to do a Q and A session. I love that platform! Check it out. It's like Clubhouse but better. And I will be doing all of my interviews live on there, so you don't want to miss them! Here's my profile.
