This podcast episode was inspired by the events that happened at the 2026 US Open (still currently underway as I release this episode). If you're looking to attend a sporting event as creator or with media credentials-I share some tips and advice on how to prepare and how to shop up as an influencer at a sporting event. Avoid making the mistakes that were made at the 2026 event.

I'm still using Substack as a tool, but for those of you who are looking to sell products, goods or services that direct your audience off the Substack paltform-you may end up getting blocked from your Substack project. Today I share why I added KIT, how I plan on using it and what I'm hoping for moving forward.

Are you asking yourself if YouTube is worth doing? I'm in the process of launching a new channel (my first channel) and even though I was annoyed by the changes-I had a completely different reaction to the changes to the qualifying watch hours to become an Ad Partner.

Today I share why I've decided to "consciously uncouple" from Substack, why I think Substack is its own worst enemy and wonder why the continued focus on subscriptions is unintentionally making it difficult for creator entrepreneurs to make more money on the platform (within the stated terms of service) I would love to hear what you think and what your experience has been with the platform so far. It's the beginning of my 5th year on the platform-something has to change.

Paywalls can be controversial and it also can feel like they're everywhere. In today's podcast episode I share why I've decided to add a paywall back to my newsletter Creators Getting Paid after removing the paywall and keeping a paid tier. You may be surprised by some of the lessons that I learned during the past year.

Every once in awhile I think about the concept of time and how long it should take to reach the success that I'm working towards. For many people building brands online and embracing Creator Entrepreneurship they're focused on impact and the opportunity to scale and ultimately make a living doing what they dream of doing.

In this episode, I reflect on a recent conversation that I had with Kaitlyn Arford, founder of Freelance Opportunities and specific poin that she made about how she views the work that she's doing and the time that it will take to do it. Her perspective helped me rethink and reconsider the work that I'm doing and the time needed to reach the results that I'm working towards. Maybe that will be the same for you...
