What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
Right now, it kind of feels like the Wild West. I think that's what's really exciting to me. The creator economy is on the rise.
If you look at various VC and PE publications, or people on LinkedIn, everyone knows that this is where content creation and entertainment are going. That being said, there still are not enough processes or good providers of these processes in the space.
It's a little challenging because there's no organization here, and people are just kind of trying to wing it. But I think there's a lot of opportunity for people like me to come in and establish that, become trusted leaders, and really grow from there.
If you're watching this five to 10 years from now, you might see what I'm talking about, or maybe you already do if you follow it or are interested in being a content creator yourself. These are things that I really, really value and think are interesting about the creator economy.
